What is List Building? – List building is the process of building a mailing list and this is something that any business or marketer should be adept in. So exactly is a mailing list? That would be a collection of e-mails that you will acquire through a website and/or through other means and which you can then use in order to promote and sell products.
The great thing about these lists is that they consist of people who have willingly given you their e-mail addresses and thus given you permission to contact you. They will have visited your website or blog, so you know they’re interested in your niche or whatever it is you are trying to sell. What’s more, the fact that you can message them at will means that you will be able to develop a relationship with them, building trust and interest to the point where they are feverish to buy.
It’s for these reasons that list building is widely considered to be one of the most effective tools available to businesses as well as internet marketers.
Any marketing ‘guru’ will recommend this as one of the most important methods available and potentially it is the best and easiest route to making big money online.
The only problem is that building a massive e-mail list isn’t necessarily as easy as you might hope it would be. That’s where this book comes in to help you build a massive and relevant list quickly. In just 30 days, you’ll have a list that’s 1,000 strong and EVERYONE on that list will be a potential buyer who will be interested in everything you have to say and everything you have to sell.
1,000 broken down is just 34 subscribers a day. Achievable? You bet! In just a year, you could very well have a list of 12,000 subscribers.
Make Money with Instant Affiliate Commissions: One thing, which a lot of Internet marketers struggle with is coming up with cash to grow their businesses. When youâre just getting started, you may be out of work or barely making ends meet. Even coming up with $9 to buy a domain name or get web hosting can be difficult.
The biggest problem is the fact that most affiliate programs pay slowly. A few pay weekly, but most pay weekly or monthly. A few even pay quarterly!
But there are affiliate programs out there that actually pay instantly. Whenever you get a sale, the money goes straight to your PayPal account!
You are going to learn how to find these affiliate programs that pay instantly, and how to promote them effectively in order to start making money as quickly as possible.
You can accept money without verifying your account, but you will need to add a legitimate bank account and credit or debit card to your account in order to accept larger amounts of money. Be sure to do that as soon as possible.
If your country doesnât allow PayPal, you might consider partnering with someone in a country that does. It may be difficult to find someone you trust, but if you do, it will be mutually beneficial to split earnings.
The PayPal Debit Card
If you are in the United States, be sure to take advantage of the PayPal debit card. It can take several days to send your money to your bank account so you can access it, but with the debit card you can spend it immediately or withdraw it from any ATM.
Finding Instant Cash Affiliate Programs
Once you have a PayPal account, your next step is to find affiliate programs that pay instantly. This USED to be difficult, because the majority of affiliate programs donât do this.
In order to promote quickly, youâre going to need a domain name. Donât panic! You only need a few dollars for this. You can buy a .com (more searched for) or a .info domain for this, and they are only about $2 or $3, depending on where you get them.
NameCheap charges, at the time of writing this, just $0.88 for a .info the first year, and $10.47 for every year after that. Itâs very inexpensive, and you wonât need hosting at first.
Once you buy a domain name, you can simply set it inside NameCheap (or another registrar) to forward directly to your affiliate link. This is important, because you want to be able to link directly to your affiliate link without worrying about people seeing it as an affiliate link!
Once you have a domain name that matches the product youâre promoting, forward it to your affiliate link URL and you can get started promoting it!
Promoting for Instant Cash
In order to get paid quickly, you need to get traffic quickly. On the internet, getting customers right away can be difficult. Letâs look at some of the most popular ways to get traffic quickly.
Pay Per Click
The first thought most people have when they think about getting traffic quickly is PPC. Programs like Google AdWords do make it easy to get traffic immediately, but thereâs one major problem.
When you are promoting mostly lower priced products, the high costs associated with PPC marketing can eat up profits quickly. In fact, unless youâre highly experienced with PPC, you can actually lose money!
My advice is to avoid PPC right now.
Forum Marketing
One of the best ways to get money instantly is through forums. This can be tricky, though. Most forums donât allow signatures
to contain commercial links, and those that do usually donât allow affiliate links.
There are two ways around this:
1. You can set up a blog or website on your domain and direct people to that. Of course, that requires hosting.
2. Or you can look for forums that allow affiliate links in signatures.
Itâs going to be pretty difficult to find forums that allow affiliate links. You could post your domain that redirects and hope people donât notice itâs an affiliate link because itâs masked by the domain, but thatâs risky. You could end up being banned and losing all of the work youâve done.
Itâs better to set up a website to send people to if you can. That way you donât break any rules and your posts will stick around making you money for longer.
Some forums have a Buy, Sell, and Trade area or Classified Ads area. This is a great way to get traffic, and they will sometimes let a masked affiliate link slide by.
Blog Comments
Many blogs have a ton of traffic, and you can make use of this traffic by posting comments on their most popular posts and putting your link in the URL field.
Be sure to read each post before you comment, and never place a link directly in the body of the comment. You stand a far greater chance of having your comments approved if you comment directly on the post and keep your URL in the appropriate location.
If you have an email list, this is obviously the perfect way to make money from these programs. Send them targeted offers and you will make money very quickly!
Twitter & Facebook
Like email marketing, social marketing can make you cash very quickly if you already have a large friends list. Just be careful to post plenty of content and donât post one affiliate link after another, otherwise your lists will shrink quickly!
Conclusion
Making money with instant affiliate commissions is very simple. Once you know where to find the programs and how to get traffic quickly, itâs all very easy!
When youâre just getting started in affiliate marketing, you need cash quickly, and this is definitely one of the best ways to get it.
You donât have to stick solely to the promotion methods Iâve mentioned, either. Get creative! Think of some other ways you can get traffic quickly.
Here are a few possibilities to get you started:
· Article marketing
· Passing out flyers locally with your .info domain
· Newspaper ads
· Magazine ads
Get creative and you will soon see traffic and sales pouring in. Good luck!
Free Traffic VS Paid Traffic: You might think traffic is the hardest part, but itâs actually a lot simpler than you think to get traffic! Weâre going to take a look at a few of the best strategies for getting traffic, both free and paid.
Free Traffic
As far as free traffic goes, thereâs only one method thatâs quick enough to generate traffic starting today, doesnât have a hefty learning curve, and provides quality traffic that can convert: social media.
Keep in mind that certain markets are more inclined to use certain social networks than others, so itâs important to locate your market and be certain youâre focusing most of your time and energy on those locations. While you can still use other social networks, most of your effort should be focused on those sites that have a higher concentration of your target demographic.
Weâre going to look at a few of the most popular social networks, and how you can locate your target demographic on each one in order to find out which one(s) you should concentrate on.
Facebook
Locating your target demographic on Facebook is relatively simple. Begin by searching for a topic related to your niche and find pages and groups that fit your niche.
For example, if you are offering a dog walking service, youâd want to search for things like groups for pet owners in your city or state. Find out how many people are in those groups, and how many groups there are. This will give you a rough idea of how many people you can reach on Facebook.
Join these groups and participate in them, making sure you follow their rules. If they donât allow promotions, youâll need to contact the group administrators and ask for permission to advertise your service. Otherwise, you should be able to pipe in if people happen to ask about dog walking services.
You can also start your own group, which is your best option. This will give you a source of traffic you can turn into leads anytime.
You should also start a Facebook page for your business, and you can even include a link to your squeeze page on your Facebook page.
Pinterest
Pinterest is like an online corkboard. You can have multiple âboardsâ, and then pin images with links, sort of like bookmarking a page.
You can find out how popular your niche is on Pinterest by performing a search, and then clicking âBoardsâ to find out how many people have boards related to your niche AND how many followers those boards have.
You can also search pins for the niche and see how many repins each one has. This will let you know how interested people are.
Pinterest has a huge amount of traffic, and itâs relatively easy to access just by following accounts that have some connection to your niche and pinning content related to your niche and using keywords in your board names and descriptions.
Youâll need to have some interesting content to pin, so itâs a good idea to have a blog or website that you use to post content related to your field. For example, you could have a dog care blog for your dog walking service and post useful information for pet owners.
One important thing to note is that Pinterest is heavily imaged-based, so youâll need good images to pin that relate to your article.
For example, if youâve posted an article called â5 Tips for Housebreaking Your Puppyâ, youâd want to include a photo of a dog being trained, or something related to housebreaking a puppy, and have the title of your article on the image.
If you take a look at Pinterest, youâll see that most images are taller than they are wide. Thatâs because they take up the most screen real estate since images are constrained by width, but have much more space to expand lengthwise. Thus, try to make sure your images follow the same format.
Instagram
Instagram is a great platform for visual content, and you can get a lot of traffic from it, especially if your business is related to fashion, beauty, art, lifestyle, food and cooking, crafts, or other topics that are popular.
You can get a good indication of whatâs popular on Instagram by opening the app and clicking the search icon, searching for a term related to your niche, and then clicking âTagsâ. This will show you how many posts are currently on the site using that phrase, as well as lots of related phrases.
For example, when I search for âdogsâ, I see millions of posts with such hashtags as #dogsofinstagram, #dogs, #dogstagram, and #dogsitting.
You can also click the âPeopleâ tab and click some of the top profiles to see how many followers they have. This is another good indicator of interest in your topic.
There are three important steps to getting traffic from Instagram:
1. Fill out your profile and include a link to your website or squeeze page there. Make sure to choose an interesting photo of either yourself or something related to your niche for your profile picture. And include that link because you canât include links in the descriptions of your individual posts! (Just tell people to check your profile for a link.)
2. Post often. Instagram posts scroll by and are gone quickly if someone is following a lot of profiles, so the best way to get seen is to post as often as possible. Donât spam! Just a few posts a day is fine, but spread them out every few hours. And donât forget to add at least 5 relevant hashtags to every post!
3. Follow people who are related to your niche. Many will follow you back, and others will find and follow you from those peopleâs profiles. Itâs a good idea to follow at least 20 new accounts each day, which you can find easily through the search function and referrals from other people. Stick mostly to following accounts related to your niche, because you want qualified leads, not just a high follower count!
Other Social Networks
There are other social networks that can be effective, too, depending on your market. I suggest giving each of these a try to see how they do for your particular market, but you might want to concentrate your efforts on the other sites weâve talked about earlier in this chapter.
Paid Traffic
I donât recommend using paid ads until youâve thrown a good amount of free traffic at your squeeze page for a while and tested conversion rates. If you arenât getting many leads, you may want to make some tweaks to your squeeze page and/or lead magnet to increase those conversions.
Once youâre happy with how your page is converting, you can start sending some paid traffic to it.
Letâs look at some of the most effective paid ad platforms. These are generally the most profitable, but they may not work for all niches equally, so be sure to track your conversions carefully, tweak ads as needed, and kill any ads that arenât performing.
Facebook Ads
Facebook is generally considered one of the best advertising platforms, because ads are typically affordable and convert well. This is mainly because of how well they are able to target ads to the appropriate parties.
Remember when we talked about how important it is to get qualified leads? Facebook is brilliant for that, because they have incredibly advanced targeting options. You can target people based on age, gender, location, marital status⊠just about anything you can think of⊠PLUS, you can target by interests, shopping habits, and so much more.
Sticking with our example of using a local dog walking business, you can target people in your city, or surrounding cities, AND who are dog owners. You can seriously get THAT specific!
When you create your ad, pay attention to the type of ad youâre creating. The regular newsfeed and mobile newsfeed formats are considered the most profitable.
Keep in mind that the price you pay for your ads on Facebook is heavily based on your CTR (click-thru rate), so itâs important to design the most effective ad possible. If you notice an ad has a low CTR, pause the ad and make changes. Keep tweaking until you find the right combination to bring in qualified leads at a low cost.
Facebook has a great guide to help you get started:
Bingâs ad platform isnât nearly as competitive as many others, because they have much less traffic than Google, Facebook, and some other platforms. However, you can still get a lot of traffic at a very low price, because the lower competition means you can actually get more traffic than you could at the more competitive sites because in many instances you could be the only advertiser in a genre.
Bing is a PPC platform just like Google AdWords, so if youâre already familiar with AdWords, you shouldnât have too much trouble.
Bing has a lot of training if youâre not familiar with the platform:
There are platforms you can explore as well, such as YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Google AdWords, and many others. But these can be a little trickier to master than the other three platforms we discussed, as they are either more expensive, more competitive, or harder to master.
For this reason, I suggest exploring other platforms once youâve mastered the other three we discussed and are getting consistent results.
Here are a few fast and furious ways to monetize your lists.
Membership/Continuity Websites Membership sites will never go out of fashion. People love receiving fresh content automatically every month without having to think about renewing their purchase or manually paying for access.
From a website ownerâs perspective, it simply simplifies the process of keeping customers active within a funnel, while giving them the reassurance of a stable monthly income they can count on.
You can also choose to host your download pages and files on your own hosting account, or simplify the process by allowing InDigitalWorks Bitreveal to do all of that for you.
Regardless of what software or platform you use to create your membership site, youâll want to tie it in with your existing email campaigns. For example, you could offer a subscription model that takes place entirely via email that gives your subscribers access to premium content.
You could also set up your membership site so that whenever a subscriber joins they are given access to a private Facebook group, or can view videos that are otherwise unlisted on YouTube. Thereâs no shortage of ways to incorporate a paid-access model into your email marketing campaign.
Membership sites also donât have to cost a lot of money. You could simply start out with a lower-end price point just to move subscribers into your funnel so you can begin to qualify leads and segment your lists for better engagement.
Even subscription sites that charge as little as $10 a month are great tools for weeding out tire-kickers and converting readers into buyers.
Think about how you could create a subscription website into your email campaigns and maximize your income quickly.
Tip: Offer subscribers will early-bird access at a lower rate. This is a great way to jumpstart your membership site by offering people with a heavily discounted price for the first few months, or grandfather them in by letting them continue paying a lower fee as long as they keep their account active.
Email Based Coaching
Coaching and consulting is big business and more and more email marketers are getting into the game by charging for either personal or group training.
If you have an engaged email list, you could easily maximize your income by setting up a short-term coaching program that provides in-depth training on a certain topic.
Your coaching program could be designed to be completed over Skype, through email, via a private Facebook group, or you could set up a fully loaded training program via a site like Teachable.com in order to streamline your business and grow your audience outside of your email campaigns.
Training programs are also a great way to position yourself as an authority in your market and to increase brand awareness. They also serve as great testing grounds for future product launches as youâll gain valuable feedback from students who move through the course.
There are many different training platforms you could use, including:
Email Based Service You could easily set up a series of paid-access emails that go out every day, or every week. Only those who pay for access will receive this content. Just make sure that you mark your campaigns as private from within your mailing list account as by default some providers will make your email broadcasts available to the public, or anyone who shares the link.
Facebook Group
Weâve talked about Facebook groups already, but itâs worth mentioning again. Facebook groups are easy to set up and manage. You can add additional administrators or moderators who can help keep on top of posts, comments and remove any spam.
However, there is a major downside to using Facebook groups – you arenât in full control of your community. Should Facebook limit your account or put you in whatâs called âFacebook jailâ, you could find yourself locked out of your own group.
The best way around this is to run your coaching program from your own website, but offer access to a private Facebook group as a bonus to those who subscribe.
Webinars Webinars are great ways of introducing your brand to new prospects. You could easily set up a series of Webinars as part of your coaching program, or run them independently if youâre looking to gain new email subscribers.
Just make sure you email the registration link to existing contacts as well as a reminder link on the day your webinar is set to take place.
Affiliate Marketing Obviously, affiliate marketing is one of the most common methods of monetizing your email list. Itâs a great replacement for those who donât have a product of their own, but even if you do, itâs a fantastic way to maximize your income during the times where youâre working on developing new products that arenât market ready.
Just match quality products with your audience and earn a commission!
Final Words
Turning your list into a money-making machine takes careful planning, but itâs one of the easiest ways to jumpstart your business, build a memorable brand and maximize your online income with very little start-up costs.
The key is to work towards constantly expanding your outreach, drive targeted traffic to your landing page, provide an irresistible, exclusive incentive that will convert that traffic into leads and work towards building your back-end system so that fresh content is being pumped out to your list every single week.
Then, monetize your list with affiliate-based offers as you learn more about your target market and generate valuable feedback that will help shape the outline of your own products or services.
Even if you never create a product of your own, your email lists can serve as the foundation for your entire business just by working towards creating the perfect blend of free, valuable content and promotional-based offers.
Test out different systems only after youâve seen success with one. Broadening your outreach by dominating one email monetization strategy at a time will help you stay focused, while keeping a close pulse on what is effective and what should be abandoned.
Donât overcomplicate the process! With a strong lead magnet like the ones available atInDigitalWorks.com, combined with a series of high-value follow up campaigns, youâll be able to siphon cash out of every email you send!
Always be on the lookout for other ways you can monetize your email campaigns, such as by selling ad space in your newsletters to others in your niche market. This is a great way to introduce quality products to your audience while making money doing it. GetResponse has a great article that shows you how to do this easily. Youâll find that here: https://blog.getresponse.com/can-sell-ads-email-newsletters
The bottom line is making money via your email list is not hard. Build an email list, nurture a relationship with your leads by offering free valuable content, and plug in any of the monetization methods weâve discussed in this special report and youâll be able to make money easily.
Have you ever heard of cross-selling? Itâs when you direct a buyer to additional relevant products that you feel they may be interested in.
Amazon has cross-selling down to an art form. Whenever you purchase a book from them, youâll be immediately introduced to other books in that genre or category.
Just the same, if you browse an authorâs website on Amazon youâll see âBuyers of this Book have also purchasedâ (known in the publishing industry as âalso-boughtâsâ), and theyâre a powerful way to keep someone active within the sales funnel.
In fact, when it comes to self-published authors, many of them have seen an immediate increase of sales whenever theyâve appeared in another authorâs also-boughtâs just because theyâre able to siphon traffic and connect with a competitorâs readers base just by being featured as a similar author.
When it comes to squeezing every dime out of your email marketing campaigns, directing people to other relevant offers is a great way to extend the sales funnel without having to have other products or services of your own.
So for example, if you are offering access to a training program that teaches people how to self-publish on Amazon, chances are you canât cover every aspect of self-publishing.
After all, thereâs: marketing, editing, proofreading, learning how to increase writing speed, productivity and focus, and the list goes on.
In other words, there are dozens of other tasks relating to self-publishing that new authors would likely want to learn more about. Rather than continuously adding new modules and training guides to your program, you could cross-promote guides and books featured on Amazon and make money from every sale you make.
Cross-promoting via email campaigns is no different from traditional email marketing. Youâre promoting products that are in the same niche as your own yet they cover new ground.
Think about the different areas you havenât covered in your own products or courses. What other avenues of training would your customers likely be interested in? What subject matter have you overlooked, or you couldnât cover in one product or training program?
Those products make fantastic cross-promotional items that you can introduce your subscribers to throughout your email campaigns.
