One of the key factors to be successful in online business is to have a huge mailing list. The mailing list is for gathering the emails of those who’ve visited your blog, website or online store. And you’ll be able to know who they are and send your newsletter to them on a regular basis. Some facts are as follows:
1. Whether you’re running a blog or an online store, it’s best to capture the emails of your visitors as well as their names. Even though you’re running an online store, the visitor may not buy from you right away on his or her first visit. But you’ve managed to capture his or her name and email, you’ll be able to reach them by sending any of your future promotions or new products, which will then turn into sales.
2. Use service like AWeber.com to build your mailing list. If you’ve been running a blog, you may have been used to using FeedBurner to get people to subscribe using their emails. But the problem with FeedBurner is it never takes the name of the subscriber. With only email that FeedBurner captures, you can’t personalize the email such as by calling the person with his or her name which proves to be more appealing to get the newsletter opened. AWeber starts at $19 per month if you have a mailing list less than 500 subscribers.
3. How big your mailing list needs to be in order to make lucrative income from the Internet? (whether you’re doing affiliate blogging, your own online store etc). People like John Chow having a list of 100 over thousands, which earns him about $50K USD a month. But this list sounds very far away from being achievable if you’re a beginner. But a list of 5,000 subscribers could be lot easier, and having such a 5K-list sounds pretty promising of allowing the earning of $100K USD a year, which has been proven by Yee Shun Jian, having made that much from being a number of affiliates of CJ, Clickbank and Amazon etc!
4. Of course, to build a 5k-list, it’s definitely not easy at all. You’ve gotta have something free to attract people to subscribe, and it’s being built day by day. If you’re able to write good e-books, you can offer a copy or more to your visitors for free after they’ve entered bith their name and email and subscribed your newsletter!
