Branding is an incredibly important concept in marketing. When you think of brands,
you probably think of ones like Nike, Disney, Apple, and many others. The truth is
that you’ll have a brand as well. If you aren’t building this brand, you need to do so.

One of the best ways to do this is to utilize your list. You can get the word out

their heads! While you certainly can make a ton of money with your list, it’s best
to be realistic about what you’ll make when you start. If you’re not realistic, the

Making that first follow-up e-mail to your list can seem like a daunting thing to do.
You’ve gotten people to sign up, and now it’s time to warm them up. In some ways,

opt-ins to your list. Make sure you have selected a good autoresponder company
that will keep track of your e-mail open rates and be very reliable for you and your
list members.

Once you have the technical aspects squared away, it is time to start driving traffic
to your squeeze page. If you do not have “eyeballs” on your opt in form, you won’t

list is which autoresponder company you want to go with. There are many of them
out there, but they are certainly not created equal.

There are also autoresponder scripts you can set up on your own host. Many people
are attracted to these because there is no monthly fee and they feel like they will
have more power over their messages and settings. However, you should Read the rest of this entry »

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “the money is in the list.” Still, you may not have
started to build a list because you’re intimidated, or just don’t know HOW to get
started. The good news is that it’s actually not that difficult — and when you have
a list, you really do have it made!

free traffic. Unfortunately, this means Read the rest of this entry »
