By Arthur Rewob

Successful Internet marketers have found a way to quickly build and monetize on their email lists. A follow up email list is a critical tool for any marketer. Does not matter if the list is 10, 100, 10,000 or 100,000 people strong. Focusing on the size of the list does not produce results; you must learn and understand the strategies and steps it takes to build a list. We begin with strong and focused lead generation; targeted niches, targeted opt-in boxes and value driven follow up copy for subscribers. These articles will summarize four list building strategies and show you how to build a productive list.

Step one is to target a market or drill down to obtainable objectives. Business success comes from focused attention to a specific market's needs or challenges. What are you trying to achieve? What need do you provide? What solution do you bring? Look at the complete view of your business and then plan out effective marketing, timelines and goal posts. Create a series of messages to lead your target reader to your offer page. We can accomplish this with specific traffic methods.

Step two is niche targeted and focused traffic generation. Traffic or people reading your content are the base elements in the Internet marketing world. That's seems simple. What is not obvious is what needs to be done to attract this traffic.

For example, there are search page results, Adwords, affiliate incentives, and many Offline ways of generating online traffic. Some marketers spend $15,000/month in Google Adwords, some attract with high percentage affiliate commissions and some hire teams to create and post content. If you are an Internet marketing novice, the vast array of differing methods available can be overwhelming. So start with one and get good at it. In the end, traffic and email marketing depends on how much available time you have, how big a budget you have and how effective a manager you are.

Step three is well placed lead capture or "opt-in" boxes. Once we create a steady flow of visitors, our opt-in box gives people a method to ask for more information. To increase our opt-in percentage we use incentives to coax prospective customers to leave a name and email address. The more value you give away the high the conversion.

Step four is follow up with subscribers. Again value is key. After subscribing to your list, people are going to look for valuable knowledge, feel good entertainment or relevant information about what you are doing and how they can benefit. When your prospects perceived benefit his higher than they're perceived monetary value then they will be willing to purchase whatever it is you have available for sale.

Experienced marketers differ in how many messages to send to the list in a given week. Aggressive marketers of guru's send several times a day. The downside is that this causes rapid list burn out or churn. Steady information is key. Sending valuable information two or three times a week cuts down on churn and increases reader attention. Longer periods tend to decrease value and your list will get stale.

These four steps are the foundation of a profitable Internet marketing plan and key to building a valuable list. Follow up lists are basic tools for any Online or Offline business. That is where the gold is. Each and every subscriber is valuable so treat them as if they were live customers that you would speak to in person.
