All the people making it big on the Internet have made building an targeted email list a priority and they have been rewarded richly for it. You learn all the great information on list building from your research and your ready to give it a go. You start using all the methods like a mad man (or mad woman) and you actually build a list, but then it stops right there. You have the list, but you still can't monetize it. Everybody says it's so easy, but you feel like you're wasting your time. Frustrated, you might even be losing money because of the expenses to build the list, maintain it and any other cost associated with building an opt in email list. Well you keep saying to yourself that everybody says, "The money is in the list", but you are just shaking your head saying this is bull and doesn't work. So you give up on the idea of building an opt in email list and go on to other things. Please.....don't give up on it cause there's hope. It might seem to you like an impossibility, but having and building a targeted email list is a crucial part of your business success. Just roll up your sleeves and really learn how to do it and do it right. If you're persistent, you will be able to do it and you'll be really glad you did. So what are the challenges holding you back from building an opt in email list? I'm sure you're already aware that there are many factors that are involved in successfully building an opt in email list and then monetizing it correctly. Other's have written whole courses and books on the details of this subject, but for the purposes of this article, I'm going to explain how you should be thinking even before you use any list building techniques. If you don't have these certain approaches, when building an opt in email list, all the techniques in the world won't help you. This all-important ingredient is the foundation for your success in building an opt in email list. I'll call it your mindset or the way you approach building a list. There are three very important mindsets that you need to implement in building an email list the right way. 1-Focus on quality and not just quantity. It might take more effort and thought to methodically attract and add quality subscribers to your list, but it is worth every ounce of sweat to building an opt in email list that's responsive. Have the mindset of only attracting quality. You may have a smaller list, but even a small highly responsive list will outperform a much larger low quality list any day of the week. But of course building quality requires more effort and expertise than just building an opt in email list with anyone on that list. I'm not going to go into detail of the how's of building as much as sticking with the foundation or mindset for having a targeted email list. 2-A second mindset is talking to each person on your list on a one to one basis. Many people make the mistake of communicating on a mass scale as if they were in front of a huge group of people giving a speech. Try not to take this approach Just be personable and when you are writing an email you are writing it for just one person. You want them to feel that you are there for them (of course you should be) and you really want to help them. They are on your list for your expertise and help you can provide them. Never give the impression that you are too big and important for your prospects. Keep this in mind and implement it and you will have loyal responsive subscribers that will trust you and want to respond to what you have to offer. 3-Develop the perfect system to attract the most targeted prospect and then use that system a million times over. Build your squeeze pages, landing pages, marketing and advertising around this thought to build the optimal list. Do you know who Ray Crock is? He's the founder of McDonalds. What a master at applying this mindset. He built and tweaked his restaurant till he was maximizing the profits he was earning. And when he had a winning system, he multiplied the winning concept over and over in the form of franchises. It's absolutely a waste of time to just haphazardly pull prospects from anywhere, thinking they will eventually act on your offers. They won't and you'll be frustrated. It takes some work to building an opt in email list the right way, but it will be well worth it. In summary, Building an opt in email list is done one subscriber at a time. Be that ideal communicator for that one person and be that for everyone on your list. Don't act like a big shot because you'll lose prospects. Always be personable and approachable.
