Why You Need a Landing Page and a List
Posted by: | Comments
There’s a saying among Internet marketers, “The money is in the list,” and it’s true. In all but a few niches, it’s possible to make much more money from having a regularly-read list than it is from one-time sales. Here is the basic why and how.
A list lets you keep selling to the people who are already interested in products in your niche. When you just sell them a product without putting them on a list, you make a commission and product owner makes his cash–and probably adds them to his own list. Without a list of your own, you’re giving away a lot of cash.
Someone who buys from you once is likely to buy from you again–especially if they liked what they bought the first time. This is such an important factor that many marketers will only break even or even lose money in order to get customers to buy that first product.
As an example, dating guru David DeAngelo pays affiliates 200% commission, because of all the money he’s sure to make on the back-end. Many dating and other monthly membership sites pay their affiliates for driving free sign-up members to their sites. They’re willing to pay a cost for leads because of the repeat business they end up getting.
How can you use your list once you’ve got it? First off, you can sell more products Read More→

Did you know that it is possible to start an online business even if you don’t have your own products? This is easy to do when you use affiliate marketing to jumpstart your business to get you going.
Many individuals hold off on working online because they don’t have anything to sell, but what they don’t know is that you don’t need anything; you can use other people’s products through affiliate marketing.
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of affiliate programs just waiting for you to join, and contrary to what you may have heard; this is not just limited to e-books and downloadable audio products that have no value. In fact, affiliate programs also have high-end products that you can sell in addition to your traditional downloadable items.
To start, you will need two things:
1. A place to promote your products; a website or blog
2. Products to promote
Finding the right affiliate program takes some investigating, because there is Read More→

Every successful internet marketer has some special formula or special way of driving people to their site. Sometimes it’s just the name they’ve built for themselves and other times, there are tools or strategies that they use. So what’s the secret to getting traffic to your website?
Truth is there is no secret, no special formula, no magic traffic button – getting traffic comes from getting noticed and being respected within your niche.

Start Listbuilding before You Launch Your Product

This provides an avenue for you to interact with your new list before the ball really gets to rolling. During this time, you can generate more excitement about your product in your emails. This way, you can accomplish three goals.
