How Big a List do You Want?

Written by Natalie White


Well, what can I say aboutrepparttar size of an Internet marketer's list?

From my point of view,repparttar 117050 size of your list is somewhat relevant (I said somewhat)... Nobody can say, "You need X amount of subscribers to be successful." It doesn't work like that. What you need, is a list of RESPONSIVE subscribers. You may have a list of 10,000 people with a conversion rate of 0.2% (20 people will buy), or you may have one of 1,000 with a 2% rate.

Don't get me wrong here... of course you want to keep on building your list... I didn't stop at X number and said "That's enough" (Who in their right mind would!!!). Of course,repparttar 117051 biggerrepparttar 117052 better, but what I'm saying is you don't need to have 10,000 subscribers to make money online.

------------------- SIDE BAR

There is a great book just published about How to build your Opt-In List. I've read tons of book, and this one is by farrepparttar 117053 best one I've read yet. It is FR.EE for download here: http://www.markmadeez.com/TheOptInStrategy.pdf

-------------------

What you need is a good conversion rate, and to get that conversion rate, you need to cultivate your list. When I say cultivate, I mean develop a credible and trusting relationship with your subscribers. Get them to trust you by delivering useful content and information throughout your mailings, good products, and good programs. Don't use your list for blasting Solo Ads after Solo Ads! You will see your subscribers fall like flies... your unsubscribe rate will go throughrepparttar 117054 roof so fast, it'll make your head spin!!!. This is not what you want, right? You want people to read you, you want people to write to you, you want people to come to trust you, and then to buy from you.
