Internet Business

And to make use of that fact, you need to build a list.

From now on, your first priority on the Internet must be to BUILD YOUR OWN LIST of opt-in subscribers to whom you will periodically recommend good products, services and information (and to whom you will more often just give sound advice and great bargain deals, like I do at TopProfits).

In fact, by signing up for 10,000hits, you have already taken the first step towards building a list. You'll discover how in stage two of their process.

Like I said before, if you haven't already signed up for 10,000hits, DO IT NOW or throw this book in the trash.

(Am I making my point here?)

Why build your own opt-in list? Because with a good list, each time you send mail, you can make money.

If that sounds cynical, it's not meant to be. I know a lot of the people on my list well. We have exchanged many private communications and I think of them as my friends. I would never recommend anything that I had not tried for myself and been satisfied with.

In fact, if you try to screw your list just to bleed some money out of them, they will simply drift away and you'll be left with nothing. Give them more than they expect and they'll grow to trust your judgement.

My own TopProfits Newsletter is rapidly becoming one of the leading e-zines on Internet Marketing. I didn’t achieve that reputation by screwing my subscribers for every last drop of blood I could get before dumping them.

The TopProfits Newsletter is sought after because it offers sound advice, informative articles, and quality information on new products and services. This is what Xavier Jarquin from California had to say about it in a recent note to me…

“After reading this last newsletter of yours and checking out the tools and information for myself I HAVE to congratulate you. I think the value and content of your newsletter is G-R-E-A-T! Extraordinaire!

Your GENUINE desire to help people out, to help them get ahead with genuine tools and honest, worthwhile services and information CLEARLY comes through.

Keep up the good work”

And then there was this note from Muriel Crillet in France to a Newsgroup she belonged to…

“I receive almost 1000 emails a week. Because of that, there are just a handful that I read (and actually look forward to).

Graham Hamer's TopProfits newsletter is one of them, and one I've been reading on a regular basis for the past two years.

It's more than just another e-zine. You'll hear about success stories, important e-biz news, what works, and what doesn't.

Graham's been around a while, and you can count on him for reliable Internet business information. He tells it as it is.”

When I get mails like that, it reinforces my belief that you should NEVER screw your mail list for a quick buck.

On the other hand, it's certainly true that, once you have a number of subscribers, any time you want visitors on your web site or to an affiliate web site, you can easily achieve it by posting a newsletter to them.

It's like getting visitors on demand.

Mailing to 10,000 subscribers is the same as getting 1,000 or more visitors on your site. The important point is that you communicate and offer something that they want and that will help them. If they are satisfied with the product, they grow to trust you even more.

The larger your list is, the bigger the reward EACH TIME you post a message.

You were looking for buttons to press? Consider your mail 'Send' button like a magnetic traffic button.

But don't forget, you need to work hard and read long hours, test a lot of things and talk to a lot of people in order to discover the best news, programs, techniques, and software. So when you recommend something to your subscribers, they know that it will be good. You need to send sincere, accurate info and build a relationship with your readers.

Currently, the whole world and his dog are sending out so-called e-zines. Most of these are nothing but e-mails with paid advert after paid advert. I want you to promise me that you will write a proper Newsletter. (More about that in Chapter 6)

Checking question: What is the best way to get high-qualified-ready-to-buy-targeted visitors?

Correct: It is through an opt-in list.

Next checking question: What will you do from today?

Correct again: You will build YOUR OWN list of subscribers.

Now, you know where to concentrate your efforts.
