Internet Marketing And List Building: Forget Programs, Build Your List



Internet marketing newbies constantly have opportunities flung in their
faces. There are a few that might be good, with good products behind
them, but probably only for a while. Other programs are just so-so and
the owners make a bulk of the income. Then, there are the Internet
marketing scams, which you should avoid--totally.



Let's continue on the premise that you've found a solid program and
you're really eager to make it work for you. You may even be making
some money from it. But let's think about this: If you concentrate on
it alone, and you're building this huge downline, what about emailing
them? You can't do it for any reason, other than about company business
or you'll be kicked out of the program. Should you be doing this?



Obviously, you can. Yet, what happens when you've spent all your
time and energy and maybe money on getting this program really going
great. That would be awesome, and you'd have a real sense of
achievement, an income even. Great. But...



Did you know that most Internet marketing and other Internet
businesses fail within the first year? That doesn't necessarily mean
that your program will, but I can almost guarantee that when there are
so many people in it that it becomes unpopular because there's just no
money to be made anymore, it will fail. Then what? Start all over and
do it again?



Here's the thing. Most Internet marketing newbies don't understand
that programs aren't the answer. Even some people with time online
don't get it. There is only one thing that will keep your business
running, and that's a list of customers behind you, that know you, that
trust you, that like your personality, and that buy. You'll always have
a certain percentage of people on your list that buy what you recommend
because they trust you and know it's a good product.



How about this scenario? You have worked really hard at list
building all the while you were building your MLM business. But guess
what? The MLM dies off and you don't care! You have a list of 10,000
people who are willing to look at anything you send to them, and a
certain percentage of them will always buy. You can sell them a product
that you develop or become an affiliate for someone else and sell their
products and still have an income. Can you see how powerful having a
list of your own is now?



My best advice to you, especially if you're an Internet marketing
newbie, is to forget the hype. Get away from it and settle yourself
down to building a list. List building is the only thing that will keep
your business going. If you aren't doing it now, start today! See my
resource box for my step-by-step program. It's a very quick way to get
started.



Yet, whatever you do, whether you follow me or someone else, start
list building today. If you aren't going to do that, don't buy into one
more program, get another ebook, or buy more productivity software. If
you aren't list building, you may as well just close the doors forget
it. Ignoring list building is not an option.
