90% of people fail in this Indsutry, I will tell you why this is and how you can be part of the 10% that succeed by building a list that you can sell to.
So first of all let's start with why so many people fail...well it's because they pursue people like crazy! They are new to the internet marketing industry and are so desperate to make their first sale they put people off from joining their business or buying their product with their over enthusiasm and non stop selling tactics!
If all you do is go on about how good your product is without giving any valuable knowledge about your niche you will come over as desperate. You will look unprofessional and if your product/home business was that good then surely it would sell itself. This will not result in list building.
So you're probably now wandering how do you go from desperate Dan....to having prospects call you up wanting to join your business or buy your product...well here you go:
Straight away forget the idea of chasing people for their money, even if you do need money do not make it apparent!
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.
By teaching people and giving valuable information about your market you gain status amongst people that are considering joining your market (prospects). If you do a video on Seach Engine Optimization anyone considering joining an Internet Marketing business will look up to you as if you've done a video on the subject then you must know your stuff.
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.
People will want to hear more from you because it's human nature for everyone who isn't a leader (prospects) to want to join someone who is (you) as you can provide them with help, support and advice that they need. The reason I have such knowledge in Internet Marketing is because my mentor was a 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.
