I know I've been there. I wasn't always a master list builder. I studied and studied to learn the knowledge that I am about to impart to you now. I hope you have a pencil and paper ready because what I'm about to share with you is just that important.

List building is more effective with help. If you want to absolute disintegrate your opposition regard this secret as your life line. Figure out how to use help from other people. Leverage their lists to build yours. Leverage their advertising dollars to promote your products. Leverage their time to build you empire. Leverage other people's resources. Period.

List Building Secret #2: You will never consistently fine tune your list building ratios until you track them. What you do not measure you can not manage. This secret is concealed behind EFFORT. The dreaded E word. Most marketers understand that they should be doing this list building secret, but they don't truly grasp the profound effect it has on their list building. It all boils down to one principle: Your abilities can not be sharpened until you track what is getting your most wanted response and what is not getting your most wanted response.

List Building Secret #3: Specialize your business. 99 percent of all marketers don't know this secret. They will never figure it out. They are too busy following the hottest products and trends. This secret goes under many names. You've heard of it before: Niching, sub-niching, becoming the expert, becoming the resource, becoming the authority, or even drilling down. It doesn't matter what name it goes under. It all boils down to one principle.

Information is everywhere, specialized knowledge is rare. This one secret is so key. You must really understand it. Your list that you currently have or that you will build with the first two secrets will stay with you for TWO reasons. Your list is getting KNOWLEDGE from you or you are saving your list TIME. As they get these things from you. Your list will develop a relationship with you. Emails that you send your list will be read. Products that you offer your list will be bought consistently. You will have their TRUST.

If you read them, apply them, and take care of them they will take care of you for many years to come. I hope that this information has helped put you on the "correct" path of list building because when you understand list building. You can basically print money out of thin air. ]]>
