Regardless if you’re brand new or you’ve been trying to build your email list for a while, this is one of the most important skills to master. If you skip almost everything else and just focus on how to build your email list, then your list will grow with subscribers.
When you’re first starting out it’s a slow process because you’re learning how to get visitors to your website, but as you get more involved and really invest into your business, it gets better and better.
The key to producing income in this industry is being able to present your offer/product in front of lots of people who’re interested.
That’s why it’s so important to build your email list. Without it, you will have to consider face to face marketing and try to convince people they need what you’re selling.
NO THANKS
Build an email list and make more money.
Obviously if you build an email list you should email the people on your list right?
The first thing everyone says is to start building an email list if you want to make money online, so I did. My wife asked me one day how many times I’ve been emailing my list in the last month and I said “I haven’t”.
The expression she gave me was one of those “you’re an idiot” look.
At that time I thought she was just overreacting and I didn’t really understand why she was getting so upset with me for not sending out emails. I didn’t feel like I had anything valuable to say or share so I didn’t email.
So I learned if you put zero effort into emailing your list after you have spent the time and effort to acquire them, they’ll simply unsubscribe when you write a few sentences and send them a link. Basically sending emails with little or no value that helps anyone.
So now I take the time to write emails on things I learn, courses I paid for and spent time studying, my failures, my successes and I even share things I’m doing in my life.
I try to share small bits of value in every email.
This is how you build a loyal tribe of people that know you, like you, trust you and buy from you when you recommend products.
By focusing everyday on how I could help them learn something new or share something with them that would help them along in their journey.
Most marketers don’t care about their email subscribers and look at them as only a number.
Realize the money is in the relationship you have with the people on your list and they will only buy when they trust you.
With all of the people doing shady things on the internet you need to build trust first and let them see you’re there to help them.
Focus all your efforts on helping them first and soon you will see every email you send becomes more and more valuable.
Email your list often.
There’s a reason why you need to build your email list. It’s what will make the most money for you and I want you to realize how important it is to your business.
As I mentioned earlier, I didn’t want to piss someone off and have people unsubscribe, but I no longer care.
If someone doesn’t see the value you have to deliver, then it’s their loss.
You should be emailing often because you want to build your tribe and get people used to seeing your name in their inbox often.
Would you talk to your friends often or just once a month?
If you want to build a real business, that means you need to take time to send out an email daily.
Or 4 times a week at minimum.
As you build your email list, this can be overwhelming and you may feel resistance to sending the emails, but the purpose of writing often is to master the skill.
I was sending emails when I had my very first subscriber. Thanks Mom!
I wanted to get good fast so by the time I got good at building my list, people would want to read, engage and follow me.
By the time I learned to build an email list, I was able to write emails that resonated with my subscribers.
The more you write the better you get.
Eventually people will look forward to hearing from you, they will buy from you and they will follow you.
I ask you this….
Is it too much effort to write an email and learn to develop a skill that can make you money every single day?
If your answer is no, stop reading right now.
Email will help you make money if you take it seriously and focus on building your list and emailing your list daily.
