I know you have heard, “A list” is what an internet marketer calls the the people who sign up to receive something of value from them. Usually the marketer has a squeeze page or opt-in box, on their blog or website. This is where they get people to sign up by offering something of value for free.

This can include:

• a report
• an ebook
• a newsletter
• tips and info
• a podcast
• insider secrets
• an ecourse
• a teleseminar

As someone signs up for your list, they get the freebie and you get their email address. You might ask, “why is this important?” Well, once you have their email address you can set out to building a relationship, earning their trust and selling them products you recommend.

Studies have shown that it takes a marketer an average of seven contacts with each person before they will consider buying from you. Therefore, a list is a must. Yes, there are some marketers who can have someone come to their website and buy right then and there. That is usually a one time buy. You do not know if that person will ever come back to your site. They may have found it by accident while surfing the web. But if you got them on your list you can get them in your autoresponder where you can market to them again and again as you create more products or promote affiliate products.

You will not only be able to sell to your list but you can get feedback from them about what products they would like you to create next. You could set up a survey or poll to find out what they want. You can even gather up the questions that they have sent you and turn around and create a product out of that. You have now just created a niche product for a targeted group that have asked for the product and are probably ready to buy it.

A Cold List vs. A Warm List

You could consider a cold list as one that comes from giving away something for free in a giveaway event. There you have lured these people in for the freebie, but now you may have to do some work to keep them. Give them some value before you start promoting to them.

Start by sending emails showing some of your personality along with some no-strings-attached information. This will go a long way towards building a relationship with your subscribers. You will eventually start throwing in a few promotions also, but there is no rush. You can expect some freebie seekers to opt out of your list as soon as they receive their freebie but they were probably not going to buy from you anyway.

Now a warm list may have started out cold but they have been primed and are eager to buy from you. Many of them probably already have and because you have given them great value, they will buy from you again. Just remember to not get sloppy and stop sending value in those emails. If you keep sending nothing but promotional emails you are abusing your list and those once happy people will unsubscribe.

A list is one of the most important and best things for an internet marketer to have. It can bring you great success. You having a big list is great but the most important point is remembering they are real people. A good rule of thumb would be to send out emails that you would like to receive. That way you can ensure of them coming back for more.

It can take a while to pick up the little tricks about Internet Marketing. There really is a lot you have to learn to be successful. You can start with how to create a website, how to FTP, how to write articles, how to do PPC, how to add pictures and graphics… These are all things you can and will learn with time. But there are 3 things that are really important for you to learn to guarantee success for your internet marketing business. Without these you might makes sales but you may not make as many as you probably could.

1. It goes without saying you must be trustworthy- If anyone goes to your site and and all they can see is you trying to “sale, sale, sale!” and you are not offering anything in return you can bet people will just click on to something else and will not buy from you. You don’t want to have your site looking like a billboard, loaded with Adsense ads, lots of promotion pitches and covered with banners. Potential customers will run away from this site in a hurry. Visitors have to want to trust you before they will open their wallet. Maybe you should have a look at your site through a customers eyes and get a look at just what they see. Try to hold back on the Adsense, banner ads and other things and make it a cleaner looking site.

2. Make sure you are offering value- You can start by offering something for free like a free report in exchange for opting in to your list. This could be your first opportunity to show off who you are and will get you off on the right foot with your audience. You will be seen as offering value to your perspective client. You may say that “free’ does not necessarily mean value but I would take issue with that. How would you feel if you went to the car wash to get a free wash and they did a shoddy job? Think you would go back to them?

And once you have them on your list, why not continue to send out free things like a report, an interesting article or a short PDF from time to time. These will keep them interested in hearing from you and they will be more than likely to open your emails. In fact they will look forward to it. And then when you have a product or service you point out to them that trust that has been developed might cause them to want to buy from you. And your free customer has become a paying customer.

3. You will need traffic- This has to be the toughest obstacle for a new marketer to get a handle on. You might have the greatest most insane offer ever but without someone to see it you will not be making any sales. You want to be sure you have studied how to make getting that traffic a priority. Find out how you can get more traffic to your site. You may even look at some courses that might show you how this can be achieved. It is that important. And make sure you are trying to get targeted traffic. You don’t just want any traffic you want traffic from people interested in what you have. Then you can turn them into buyers.

My friend Doug Champigny along with Willie Crawford did an awesome 3 hour call in which they discussed 15, count them, 15 different traffic techniques you could use to get traffic to your site. You can get Top Traffic Tips and discover what two guys with over 20 years of combined online marketing experience can show you.

No one can guarantee that you will be ultimately successful with Internet Marketing but without these basic things you will make it that much harder to achieve success. Internet Marketing can be very rewarding just make sure you are doing it the right way.

It can always seem hard at first, but there can be success with internet marketing if you have the desire to learn, if you are willing to take massive action, will do yourself a favor and find a mentor and you start building relationships.

You might start out and find you are not doing things the right way leading to your desire to be an internet marketer. Just step back and take a look at what you are doing. Let’s take a look at how you are doing things now.

1. You are only downloading free products- You figure you don’t have to pay for anything because it is free. And that is even if you have to search all over to find your freebies.

2. You want to jump right into a internet marketing niche because you think this IM niche is an interesting niche. Hey, you could even pass yourself off as an internet marketing guru when you barely know anything about the business yet.

3. You try to learn everything by yourself- Okay you like being out there by yourself. You can learn everything on your own because you know the experts are not going to share any information with you. They are just to busy.

4. Let’s spend a lot of time in forums- yeah, you know the right thing to do is get into those forums. There is some “useful” information there and we can read it all. That will teach us everything we want to know.

5. You have lots of ideas and you have started a lot of them but you don’t complete them. That’s because you love the idea in the beginning but then you see, this is actually going to be a lot of work. A lot more work than you want to put in and get going. And besides, it’s not perfect and still needs some work.

6. You have that really nice PDF report but the information in it won’t work for you. It might be a successful formula being described and has worked for others but it just won’t work for you.

7. Why should you attend seminars? Nobody ever learns anything there and it is just a waste of time. And all they ever do is pitch there products.

8. The old pinball method- You find one good thing try it out for a while but after a week when it doesn’t work you look and find something that looks better you jump to it. You are just bouncing around from one thing to another.

Alright I am just joking but you get the point. Did any of those things remind you of yourself. I know I have been there a few times.

Now let’s get down and do this right…

1. Let’s download some quality products and not only that let’s get products we are going to use. No need to have a computer full of stuff you are not using.

2. Why not try to position yourself in something that you are familiar with and make yourself an expert in that. Do you play golf, knit, do scrapbooking to name a few.

3. Go ahead and ask someone who knows a little more about the subject than yourself. Yes, it can even be an expert. Maybe they won’t have all the answers to your questions but there are a lot of successful internet marketers out there that probably can. The best thing about this is you are building relationships.

4. There is a lot of information you can learn from forums, but you don’t need to read everything. Visiting a few forums is fine but that should not be what you call taking action.

5. Talk to any successful marketer and they will tell you if you wait for your product to be perfect you will never get it out there and will be wasting time. You might even get frustrated and decide to move on to something else. If you are going to fail, fail fast so you can get upi and start all over. You can learn from your mistakes.

6. Don’t make excuses about how everyone has it better than you. There are many stories of internet marketers that have probably been far worse off than you. Excuses will not get you out of that rut. Take action.

7. Believe it or not seminars are a great place to meet people and build relationships. You will probably meet people there who have the same problems that you have. You can share experiences and learn from each other. They are a good place to get joint venture partners which could be your start to making money on the internet. And the speakers do share useful and helpful information.

8.  Pick one method and give it your all. Learn everything about it until you have it mastered, you become the expert and then you can move on to the next thing. Stop jumping around to that next big thing.

Try these methods and see if they will work for you. After all where have all of the other negative things gotten you so far.

The other night I had a conversation with my mentor, Doug Champigny, a very knowledgeable man. I told him how I have always had people tell me things because I listen. And we had a conversation about why listening is your most important Internet Marketing success secret.

It got me to thinking about how important listening skills are on the internet and your online business. We as marketers would always like to think that we know what our customers want or what they should need.

But many a wise marketer has discovered, as we all should, that your customers will tell you what they want not the other way around.

There are a number of ways this can be accomplished and not necessarily by listening to them talk. That would be the obvious way to find out but if you have a large list that would take you a while to talk to everyone on your list.

By the time you were done they may have changed there mind or moved on to another marketers  list because you haven’t been talking to them anymore.

Now here are 3 reasons why you should listen to what your list or customers are saying…

- By listening you let them tell you what they want and are expecting from you. Maybe they want you to show them a skill, create a product, show them how to use a product or just listen, imagine that. You could discover there are a number of ways you can help them.

- Listening is a skill that is a lost art. The person trying to communicate with you is doing so for a reason. Maybe they are trying to express a need for something, they may feel uncomfortable or express a thought.

Listening is a trait all of us have but few fully implement it into their daily lives. Sometimes say when you are talking to your spouse, friends or acquaintances maybe they just want a sounding board. Someone to just listen to what they have to say.

- If you are able to understand what someone is trying to tell you it is one of the best ways of communication. That person has the feeling that you have connected with them and they can share just what they want because they will feel that you will be able to help them.

They may not want advice but just have someone to run their ideas and thoughts by. It could actually lead them to work out their problems all on their own. They will probably thank you and you didn’t do anything.

May not seem like much but can be one of the best breakthroughs you will ever experience. That connection could lead to a word of mouth about you that could become like a virus spreading your good name around for helping others. Your list could increase exponentially.

But remember, to be an effective listener you must be sincere. You must be able to show passion and be ready to help if asked. For someone to want to talk to you they must trust you and that could be the hardest part.  But that breakthrough could be a big step to improving how you are perceived in business and in real life. So now you see why listening is your most important Internet Marketing success secret

Next time I will discuss why you should listen and interact with others that know the online business better.
