List building,
Today I review Matt Ryan’s getting started with list building…
Once you get into any type of selling to earn money online the first thing 99.9% of all how to make money online tutorials will mention the need to build a subscriber list…
The sad side of that is, 90% of all those that read this, in tutorials will never make a start on any type of list building.
The money is in the list… you most likely have read it a hundred times from several guru types.
So why are rookies, less than eager to get on with it?. My own understanding of this is, it’s difficult to be justified in spending $23.00 per month.
$23.00 investment per month is a lot, when the likelihood is you may get one subscriber per week, since they have little knowledge of how list building really works.
Let’s face it that’s a lot of money to most people who are just starting out. Building an opt-in list is a slow process, it doesn’t happen over night and can take months to accomplish, especially if you don’t have a sure fire way of escalating the process to make it faster.
Side Note: If it’s the money that’s a worry sttoping you list building:- Save yourself the average cost and use a free auto responder like Mad Mimi “Still in beta, but deliver a high quality service.”
