Absolute Must Know Tip About List Building - Do Not Miss This!

By Jonathan Pitts

A very large majority of people that enter the world of Internet Marketing fail; I will share with you the main reason behind this and how you can avoid failure by building a list you can sell to.

People tend to fail because they are new to Internet Marketing and have only learnt the Internet Marketing basic techniques, not how to present themselves and how to sell. This leads to them using in your face tactics which put people off from buying from them as they come across as a spammer.

By only going on about your product and how good it is you will come across as a desperate salesman. This makes you look unprofessional and it will put people off from wanting to hear any more from you. You build a list by giving people a reason to hear more from yourself; this is not done by shouting about how good your product is.

So you're probably thinking to yourself now how do you go from broke and desperate to someone that has prospects calling them up, making the list building process a piece of pie...well here you go:

First of all forget the idea of chasing people or targeting people because you need their money; even if you are broke do not let it show!

You do this by branding yourself as a leader within you market! This is done by giving valuable information relating to your market and product niche. This comes in the form of several marketing techniques; articles, blogs, videos etc. Even if you have only been involved within your market for a month you still know a lot more than a person who is only interested in your market.

Therefore you can gain status and become a leader by teaching people about your market. Think about it, if a guy has done a video about a niche in internet marketing what would you think of that person? You will look up to him because he's done a video on internet marketing so he must be a pro, you will want to hear more from this guy as he know his stuff and can help you out.

This is branding yourself, not your product and will lead to people wanting to know more about you. They will be willing to give you their details (email address) in order to hear more and this is exactly how list building is done! This might seem glaringly obvious but SO many Internet Marketers do not do this, just go and look on Facebook at all of them that post spammish message with links to their sites; I bet you hardly anyone at all clicks on their links.

It's human nature for everyone that's seeking help (prospects) to turn to a leader (you) that can provide them with advice and direction. The main reason I have such experience in this Industry is because my mentor was a highly successful Internet Marketer that shared his knowledge with me.

If you give valuable information and deliver it with confidence people will look up to you and want to do join you business/buy your product. This is the key to list building.
