Read my posts. Lead/list building is very important to maintaining AND growing your business. Each day I am building my list without physically doing the work to do so. Don’t believe me? Think that’s not possible? Hear me out.

When you build a website that allows people to download, purchase, read, access or use a service/information, you’ve set yourself up for a great list building process. The difference is whether or not you’ve created an incentive for those people to share your website, such as a sale commission. The easiest way to get your website growing on a daily basis is by allowing other people to share it as well, giving them value back for their efforts.

Depending on how you’ve built your website, this may be a challenge. One simple way to build in a “referral” system is by adding a field to your signup/registration form that lets people add the name of who sent them to the website. Of course this would be a very manual process to track…but it provides a simple integration of incentivizing your customers/members.

Lead generation is important. If you’re not doing it every day, you need to as an affiliate and/or network marketer. Contact me if you need help and I’ll assist in any way I can.

This isn’t exactly a factual percentage but 90% of internet marketers know that building a list is one of the most important things to further their business, whatever it may be. Why is list building so important? Once you have a list of people who directly receive your emails, it’s practically free to contact them about whatever product or service you want to tell them about.

Let’s look at some popular internet marketing names.

Mike Filsaime is a very successful marketer who has created countless websites that simply help build his email list. Mike believes in lead generation as a crucial part of his online business. As an 8 figure earner, he has done incredibly well for himself in a short time period, and his email lists are very big.

On a different style of marketing, Frank Kern uses his personality and creativity to draw people to himself. His unique approach has drawn very large numbers of people to his products/services even though he’s really only sold a handful of internet marketing courses. Primarily, his copy writing style is what catches people’s attention by using clever wording and phrases. His email lists are enormous for the “work” he’s out into them and some of that is due in part to the free marketing content he simply gives away.

One of the most well-known marketers is John Reese who’s proven his success over and over. His following is asbolutely HUGE – when he announced to his list about joining Facebook, he maxed out the “friends” limit of 5,000 pretty quickly. John’s list building efforts have brought him to have one of the biggest followings of any single internet marketer.

These are just three internet marketers who’ve taken list building as a focus of their business. If you follow in the footsteps of successful people, you’re more likely to succeed as they pave the path to success. Getting started is usually one of the toughest parts to list building but if you stick with it and are determined, you’ll make the best of it.
