Earn Money Online By List Building
The other day a friend emailed me asking how to earn money online. It’s a pretty broad question and I had to stop myself from giving a broad reply. Cos I remembered how much I hate those kinda answers! Like; “how long is a piece of string”.
Starting out online can be tough and there are literally thousands of methods of making money online. I would argue that list building is the best and a lot of the top earners online would agree!
List building is putting together a list of email addresses to send a newsletter to. This list of email addresses should be targeted and specific to the niche you are in. A lot of people think that the bigger the email list the better as it will mean more sales. This is not necessarily true.
You should build a list that’s targeted and specific to your niche. If you put together a list of email addresses that are not interested in the niche you are in they are highly unlikely to buy the products you are promoting. If you’re in the dog training niche and you promote a product to do with cooking to your followers, you’re unlikely to make a lot of sales. If list size was directly proportional to the amount of money you earn; spammers would be the top earners online.
So how do you get this targeted list and earn money online? What you need to do is create content specific to your niche and along with the content allow people to give their email addresses to find out more. A good way of capturing email addresses is by use of an opt in box. You can set up an opt in page with an opt in box and if people so wish they can leave their details. On your opt in page you should describe what you’re about and the content your providing, this way your list will be more targeted. If you don’t know how to set up an opt in page you can get a web designer to assist you and help you earn money online.
