If you're going to succeed in the modern world of network marketing online, you're going to have to start building a list. Network marketing really is just a numbers game in that the more people you tell about your opportunity, the better chance you will have of succeeding in your business.
Problem is, most people just simply don't have the time or the access to talk to as many people as they need to in order to get the ball rolling in their network marketing business. Once you setup your network marketing list and start to market it, you're setting yourself up for total success as you're building a list you can market to over and over again, whether they join your primary company or not.
But some people forget the basics of setting up a network marketing list and get so excited thinking about the wads of cash that are going to start rolling into their bank account just because they decided, "Hey, I'm gonna build a list!"
Here's 3 simple steps that will help you start building your marketing list. Now, don't get ahead of yourself. Just because you're doing this doesn't mean that you're all of a sudden going to have 10,000 people on your email list tomorrow. It takes time to build a list, and it takes time to build a relationship with them. But keep plugging away at it, your success is just around the corner.
Step #1 - Get an Email Autoresponder service. I know this may sound elementary to some of the "gurus" out there, but some people just don't think about this. They think they can just send out a bunch of emails from their Hotmail account and everything is just going to be a-ok. Not gonna happen. Get setup with a reliable email service provider that allows you to create multiple lists and unlimited autoresponders and broadcasts. There's all kinds of providers out there, pick one and get started. You'll thank me later.
Step #2 - Setup Your Opt-in Form. Again, I know that for the "smart guys" out there, this sounds dumb to even bring this up. But for the new folks, this is absolutely essential. If you want people to start joining your list, you've got to have somewhere for them to sign-up. Any good email autoresponder service will give you the tools to setup an opt-in form that you can put on pretty much any site that you want to with little headache. Or, if you don't feel comfortable, get your web guy to do it or pay someone a little cash at Guru.com to install it for you. Once you're all setup, you're ready for Step 3 in our "Super Secret Network Marketing List Building System" (TM)
Step #3 - Promote Your Opt-in Form. You've got your system, you've got your opt-in form. Now all you need is to put some eyeballs in front of it. Start promoting whatever site you've got that form on. Post it on Facebook, Twitter, your blog, forums, wherever you frequent and hang out online, get a link to that form up. Now, let's have a word about spamming, shall we? Don't just go to every website on the Internet and start promoting your link. That's just tacky and insane. No one will join your list and people will probably call you names and kick virtual sand in your face. Keep it clean, keep it relevant and you'll be on your way to success.
Bonus Step - Give something away to get people on your list. Maybe you recorded an interview with someone in your upline, or another big producer in the industry. Give it away to people as a gift for joining your list. Give something away. It doesn't have to be expensive or take you 3 months to create, but give something away. Find a public domain book that you can give people for free. Just do something and make sure that it meets a need of your target market, put it in their hands, and you're off and running with your very own network marketing list.
