If you've been online for more than an hour, you've heard some Internet marketers say, "The money is in the list!"

That sounds good, and most people agree that they would like to have a list if they had a choice. But what most people really need is to know HOW to do that, and how to do it in such a way that it doesn't take over their lives.

Having your own mailing list, and a group of subscribers who know and trust you, is the #1 marketing method on the Internet today.

This is email marketing at it's finest.

There are many ways and reasons to build a mailing list. For the purpose of clarity, everything you read in our special report can apply to you; whether you send follow up emails occasionally, have a pre-loaded autoresponder follow up series, publish an ezine, or use a completely different method.

Most list building methods & techniques are really only applicable to online list building... but what about the business owners who don't have the ability to use computers to gather names or email addresses?

Anyone can build a list of "ready to buy customers", it is not that difficult to do, yes, it can be a long drawn out process, but if you constantly work on your customer name & email gathering, it won't be long before you have a list of several hundred, perhaps even several thousand subscribers.

Your list building technique can be as simple as asking a customer to fill out a slip of paper giving their name - address & email address, you can then enter those names manually onto a data base which you can use for future business promotions.

Manual collection of names is a somewhat cumbersome, slow method of building a list... but if that's the only way you know to do this at the moment, then that's OK.

But, what if you were shown a new way to collect names & email addresses while you sleep.... would that interest you?

It's easy to do and requires only basic computer skills.

The best system to use is where all of the database building is done automatically for you, your list will build day and night, or 24/7 X 365 days of the year while you do more productive things.

You wont have to manually enter any more names & email addresses.

There's are many way's to build your list, we dont have the space to explain them all here. Once you've targeted your specific market, you are then free to concentrate on getting those people to sign up to your list, we can show a few unique methods that will have your customers "begging" to get onto your list.

There is not much use just having "a list" if you do nothing with it.

What about cultivating & getting to know your list members, you can get personal with your list members without getting too personable. The way you communicate with your list will determine your degree of success or other wise... do the wrong thing and the list members will desert you for life.

Managing & cultivating your list is "more than" signing up new subscribers everyday, and hopefully retaining them in the long term. Meeting their specific needs and rewarding their loyalty are just two unique methods to make sure your subscribers stay with you.

To get the best out of it, there is much to learn about building, cultivating and managing your mail list, one of the best learning mediums available on the net is the: "How To Make Big Profits from a small mailing list report". If you have tried, and given up on you're mail list building then don't waste a moment to secure your report to read how you can get the best from you're list building efforts.

Spending the time and effort building a loyal list will repay you ten-fold in the long term, no matter what kind of business you operate.
