So you want to start an online business? Great, there are a lot of different business ideas that you can try. And I should know because over the last 12 years I have tried most of them with varying levels of success. And out of all the online business ideas that I have tried the best one by far is list building and email marketing.
Browse the threads on the main Warrior Forum sometime, what’s the single question that seems to stump new Internet marketers the most? “How do I get traffic to my website?”
The best answer to this question is to build a list. If you have an email list then you can get traffic to any website that you want anytime that you want. And all you have to do is write an email to do it. How much traffic you can send just depends on the size of your list.
Research shows that an average consumer needs to see an advertisement seven times before they will buy. This is no problem if you have a list of your own. But if you just promote affiliate offers it can be difficult. And if you do make a sale from someone clicking a link on your website, that’s it. They might buy once from your link. But then the chances are that they are gone forever. If only you had captured their email address...
But if you built a list and they buy from your link in an email. You can sell to them over and over again. If you take the time to build a relationship with your subscribers, they might keep buying from you for years.
Still don’t believe that the best online business idea of them all is list building and email marketing? Then think about this...
When you promote an affiliate offer on your website do you ever check out the landing page that you are sending your visitors to? If not check some out. Nearly all of them will attempt to capture the email address of your visitor. And if they do buy from your link, that buyer will be added to the program owner’s buyers list so that they can sell to them over and over again. So you already are building a list! It’s just that you are building someone else’s list and they are making lots of nice backend sales from your traffic.
So why not start building your own list right now? After all, it’s the best online business idea of them all. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
