Internet Marketing And List Building

I love Internet marketing. I really do I honestly think that Internet marketing is one of the greatest things that happen in the history of mankind. Okay that is probably an exaggeration. However because Internet marketing exists everyone in virtually any part of the world has equal access to one of the best money generation techniques that exists and that has ever existed.

You may not realize this but through a single well-crafted Internet marketing campaign is not an exaggeration to say that a person could make five figures or more on a single 1 - 3 week marketing push. In fact once you understand how this process works it really is not difficult to make that kind of money, it just requires that you put in the necessary groundwork in order to build a business of that size.

It is the methodology behind building a business that I now want to talk about. When people think of Internet marketing they generally think of affiliate marketing as the primary method to make an income. To a certain extent this is very true most people who work full-time in this industry make a considerable amount of money through marketing other people's products. Affiliate marketing is probably the easiest way to get started and if you choose the right niches is the quickest way to start generating a large income.

So how should a person get started with a Internet marketing strategy that focuses on promoting affiliate products? in the first place I would argue that you must have a relevant and highly targeted website. This website can be used in a variety of ways. However the most effective is to use it as a method to either capture leads, or to pre-sell potential customers on a particular product.

Of those two methods I much prefer adopting a strategy that has me capturing leads then doing a pre-sell campaign. When you capture a lead you will retain that person's Eli address forever. They will go into your list of subscribers and you can market to them and then re-market to them again and again. This is how you begin to make the big bucks in this industry. There is a saying that says "the money is in the list." It is a saying that is very true.

The larger and more targeted your list is the easier time you'll have generating a full-time income from. Your list however is not something that you should take for granted. Your e-mail list you should treat like a newborn baby. You have to nurture it and feed it the right things in order to make it healthy and grow. By this I mean to say that the e-mails you send out your list should never be 100% marketing e-mails.

You should always send out highly relevant and highly useful tips, tricks, and other information that your list would want to have without trying to sell them something. Building credibility with your list is by far the most important thing you can possibly do.
