Are You Building Your List?
All month we have been discussing ways to promote and be seen. Have you put any of the tips into action?
Remember, a simple website or web page is great but not the only way to build your list. The most important method of creating or building your list is to build a relationship. All too often you will notice the many who join the various social networks to simply post their products or their website information. Of course that is essential but most importantly is the relationship that is established first. Many will speak of a person and you will then have some knowledge. Let me explain.Think about seeking an electrician or plumber. Sure you can go through the ‘old-fashioned’ yellow pages but most of us will first ask our friends or acquaintances for referrals.
Having a business or presence online works in the same fashion. Instead of the yellow pages, there are search engines. And the referrals will come in the form of testimonials on the web page or perhaps by those you connect with on social networks. So you see, building a relationship is extremely important when building your list.
If you are on some of the social networks, I’m sure you’ve come across the so-called ‘spammers’. Those are the folks that will by pass the conversation and simply send out tweet after tweet of advertisements. Do you want to be classified as such? I’m sure your answer is a resounding NO!
Instead, consider providing information that is pertinent to your target audience. Make yourself available for Q & A, or perhaps develop a teleseminar series with information that will benefit your audience. Those are some easy steps to building your list. For a more list building tips consider my FREE program ==> Magnetic List Building Video Series. On these videos I share tips that I personally used to build my list so I’m sure you will benefit from them.
Enjoy and why don’t you share ways you have used or continue to use to build your list. Part of being in a community is sharing tips and methods that have worked for you. Share your tips below.

Carrie, your magnetic list building video series was one of the pivotal products that helped me to realize the importance of building a list. I’m a network marketer and I didn’t see potential value of a list before watching your videos. I’m still relatively new to list building, but I’ve got one (even though it’s small) and it’s growing daily.
I have to say that my blog is one of the easiest methods I use to add to my list/ Having a free report, audio or something that is a fit for your audience is a must (your videos and your list building course really helped me with that).
Thanks for your continued efforts to help us be successful marketing ourselves online. I am thankful to be in your space.
