Giving valuable information is key when it comes to list building. People join lists to hear more from a person, they are not going to do that unless they think you can provide them with more valuable information.
Giving valuable knowledge gives you status, people within your niche will look up to you straight away becasue you are helping out. Remember people buy from those they like and trust!
You could know all the Internet Marketing techniques in the world but unless you provide people with valuable information it is useless. Do not just bang on about your product and how good it is; instead brand yourself and help people.
Unfortunately nowadays there are so many people/businesses that simply spam and try to con people out of their money! This has caused nearly everyone being sceptical when it comes to buying into business opportunities or products over the internet.
Therefore it makes people like you and I who do have genuine home business opportunities/product that can benefit someone a lot harder to get the message across that we are legit!
However there is an advantage to this; you can stand out from your competitors if you provide valuable information that helps people. Here's a quick example, I am involved with a company who train people in internet marketing, now we have a few competitors so the way I would stand out from my competitors is to give real, honest, helpful information for free on internet marketing.
Give helpful information and brad yourself, it really will make you stand out from the crowd. People buy from people, not some automated marketing system!
This means more people join my list, once they have done I give them more information and inevetiably if they decide my business is right for them they will buy from me and nobody else as I have build up a relationship with that person!
Now you know to brand yourself (attraction marketing) and give valuable information in order to build a list!
You see the more people you help the more you get in return, if someone had said that to me at when I first started internet marketing I probably would not of believed them but now I know it is 100% fact! You don't have to take my word for it.... You can have EVERYTHING in life you want, if you will just HELP others get what THEY want. - Zig Ziglar
