List Building is an essential tool to your online business. Have you heard the online marketing comment that says the money is in the list? It is the truth. The saying refers to the larger your list of subscribers, the more sales you will make.

It is harder to sell to someone new than it is to sell someone who already knows you. This is the logic behind building up a list to sell to. The best way to build your list is to offer a free report on your website. This will of course be related to you website subject matter.

Put an auto responder on your home page of your website. The auto responder will cost about twenty dollars a month. There are free auto responders on the internet but you will better off paying for the service of a well known company.

The free auto responders are not worth the money you will save because they are not as reliable as the paid service. You can then offer your visitors a free and valuable free report on your website in exchange for their email address. Some ask for more information like their address and telephone number.

If you make them required most people will not give that information and simply leave your website. But you do need them to leave their email address. You then send them a message to confirm their subscription. This is so they will not put in a fake address simply to get your free report.

You also want to ask for their primary email address. People have so many trash email addresses that they give these addresses to get free offers and then they never check them again after they get your free report. You now have their email address and now you can send them regular offers related to your website business.

Do not send sales offer right away. Build trust and build a relationship with your subscribers. Once you do this then you can start sending out sales information and offers. But make sure you are seen as a friend and not someone trying to sell with each scheduled email message. Remember it is easier to sell to a friend than a stranger. Your plan is to build that trust and relationship with your subscribers.
