What is a List Really Worth

By Napoleon Gladney

Those of you who have developed an online business know that in order to earn fast cash, you have to market your website. The question is, "How do you market your website to earn fast cash from the millions of people surfing the Internet?" The answer lies in Internet marketing. There are many different Internet marketing strategies you can implement to earn fast cash from your online business. The key is to know which Internet marketing strategies will work for your online business. It can get confusing and frustrating to find the strategies that will reach your target audience, which in turn will bring in the fast cash!

With all the different strategies available these days, it is sometimes confusing to know which strategies are actually effective and which ones just seem like they will be effective in bringing in that fast cash!

There are companies online that offer to help you build a business clientele for free or a "low fee". These companies will show you how to use opt-in email marketing, also known as permission marketing. Basically, your goal is to reach your target market so they will visit your website and purchase your product or service. It is important to have a list of targeted subscribers because these are the people who have already shown interest in what you have to offer.

Therefore, permission marketing is what you are striving to be able to do. You want to be able to send a group of people, those on your list, who are interested in your product or service, newsletters, affiliate recommendations, information on promotions, etc. Having permission to send people from your list this information is a sure way to earn fast cash from your website.

When you develop a list from people who have given permission for you to contact them, you are one step closer to reeling them in. You can send them information about your product or service, as well as special offers and free newsletters. This will keep your website on their mind and gives more opportunities for them to contact you for your product or service.

Have your sign up form follow the end of some of your content on your website. Although, many times you have a place on your home page to sign up, people may forget to sign up once they are distracted with the content. This gives them a chance within your website to sign up.

Make sure your web form is easy for your visitor to opt in.

Write out a short statement that lets them know if they sign up, they can learn more about what you have to offer and they can get regular updates, newsletters, special offers, etc.

Provide a space for them to enter their name and email address. This form will save automatically, and you will be notified that you have a new subscriber!

Be sure to have a place for them to provide their name and email address. Your provider will automatically save this information and send you an email to tell you that you have another subscriber.

Make sure you have a way for your subscriber to unsubscribe. You do not want to have a large amount of people on your list that will not lead into fast cash!

Organize your list and keep it private. Do not ever give out the email address to anyone.

As in the case of marketing, image is all important; in the same way having a large list will add to your online reputation. - 16890
