Three Easy Tips to Make Money From Your List
You've done your research - bought ebooks on how to build a mailing list, read articles, watched videos and now you have decided that you want to have a list of your own. You want the money and success which comes from having a responsive mailing list.

You subscribe to an autoresponder and put the sign-up form on your web page and people subscribe. Great. Now you are sending them information about products they can buy and from which you can earn a commission.

But very few of your subscribers are buying (if any at all). Your commissions don't even pay for your monthly autoresponder fee.

What could you have done wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed?

The most common reason is that you jumped right into building a list without having any reputation. No-one knows you. What experience have you had? A visitor has seen your web page and wanted your free gift in exchange for joining your list. But that's all they wanted - the free gift!

For those of you about to start a list and for those who have started but failed (don't worry you can rejuvenate your list) here are three quick and easy ways to to create a profitable opt-in list:.

1. Build yourself a reputation on forums and social networking sites: write a lot of articles, give out free tips, show them videos of how you approach your subject; ask for and respond quickly to any questions they might have on your subject. And when you feel you have built trust and some credibility and with your readers, invite them to join your opt-in list for further information.

2. When you are promoting a product from which you will get commission be certain that the product is relevant to your subscribers' needs. Study the product first. Tell them how it can help them. Show them that you are not just pushing junk to make a few dollars! A twist on this is to promote a product you don't think is great by saying so, and telling your subscribers why they shouldn't buy it. Some will but all of them will have more faith in the value of the next product you sell.

3. Join a list-sharing site. This where other people who have an opt-in list will promote your list to their subscribers for a fee. But the point of joining for you is that you can develop a relationship with other list builders and ask them questions and learn from them. We all love to share our knowledge and it can save you a heck of a lot of time and heartache if you have another expert to share your problems and ideas ith.

In this article I have tried to point to the main reason people who build an opt-in list fail. I have given three suggestions on how to approach list-building correctly from the beginning and I hope you find this helpful.
