When it comes to listbuilding, it’s crucial that you do not get stuck in the “same ole, same ole” marketing techniques.

When it comes to promoting yourself, don’t be hesitant to step away from the computer to get qualified leads.

3 Tips on Blogging for Listbuilding that Breathes New Life into Your Business
Posted by: Shawn Casey | Comments (0)If your affiliate marketing business seems to be stagnant, it’s time to shake things up a bit and wake up your prospects. If no one is buying and you’re feeling frustrated with sagging sales, the common denominator between you, your list, and your dwindling bank account is YOU.

Join Technorati
One way to optimize your blog is to put your blog in front of your prospects instead of expecting your prospects to materialize in front of you. Technorati catalogs blogs by subjects so that people who read blogs can find exactly what they’re looking for. Think of Technorati as a super search engine of blogs.
The great thing about Technorati is that you can reach thousands of prospective list subscribers that you would otherwise never have contact with. For instance, if someone is interested in sports, he can find a list of sports-related blogs cataloged on Technorati. If you’re a marketer who uses blogs Read More→
To succeed in affiliate marketing, it’s essential that you build lists of targeted prospects. Listbuilding is the lifeblood of affiliate marketing, and the smart marketer knows that it’s not just about numbers; it’s about building relationships.
If you’re tired of working hard to promote your business and want to learn how to make your business work for you, here are three ways you can use your lists to build long-term relationships with your prospects:
Think targeted, not numbers. If you’re focused mainly on the number of people on your list and not their compatibility with your product, you’re going about it the wrong way. Newbie marketers often mistakenly think that having more subscribers is equivalent to earning more profits. This is simply not true.
Successful affiliate marketers will tell you that their fortunes were made from the quality of their leads, not the numbers of people one their lists. Be very specific about your offer, and Read More→
Facebook is one of the most popular social media sites today. With more than 321 million subscribers worldwide, Facebook seems like an affiliate marketer’s paradise. Before you create your account and start dreaming of piles of cash, consider a few things as you create your listbuilding strategy.
1. Create a fan page.
Once you’ve established your Facebook account, create a fan page and invite others to it. This way you can separate your personal Facebook account from your listbuilding Facebook fan page. The last thing you want to do is saturate your friends and family with your product details. By creating a fan page, you’ll ensure that the people who become fans are interested in your affiliate offerings.
2. Don’t confuse social networking with spamming.
If you use your Facebook fan page as an avenue to sell your products to all your fans, then you’ll be shut down very quickly. Do not send sales messages to your fans, or your page will be shut down very quickly. The rule of thumb is to inform not sell.
3. Entertain your friends and fans.

As you build your affiliate marketing business, you’ll want to develop a targeted strategy for listbuilding. Unlike a bricks and mortar business, your location is not an issue. Your ability to attract qualified leads is essential to your business’s survival. Here are 7 easy steps for building a list of qualified prospects:
1. Purchase a domain name. Domains are inexpensive, and you can buy them on the Internet for about $10 a year. When you create a domain name, make it simple and easy to remember. Because there’s a lot of competition for domain names, you may not get your first choice. If your business is specific to a specific state or region, it’s wise to put that in your domain name (e.g. www.texas*****.com). This will draw even more location-specific traffic to your website.
2. Get website hosting. Next, you’ll have to find a host for your domain–somewhere to house your website. There are thousands of domain companies with different plans available. If you are new to web design, find a company that has web templates so you can just type, save, and publish your website without html code. It’s best to shop around to find a plan that suits your needs. Start small at first. As you build your business, Read More→
Listbuilding is the lifeblood of the Internet marketer. In order to sell products, it’s essential that you build lists of targeted prospects and keep them close at hand by staying in contact with them. Don’t fall prey to the critical errors that will kill your affiliate marketing business.
Many newbie marketers assume that once someone joins their lists, the work is complete. Not so. Listbuilding is an ongoing process and does not end once a prospect provides his name and e-mail to you. Sending autoresponders is one of the most popular ways to build lists and keep prospects interested in your offering.
