How E-mail Lists Make You Money

One of the best marketing tools I have is my e-mail list. If your website doesn’t have an list implemented, you’re missing out on a lot of money and a lot of visitors. Aweber Communications is probably the most used autoresponder and e-mail delivery service among internet marketers.
The reason for a list is pretty simple:
- Catch the e-mail addresses of the visitors who come to your site (offer them an incentive to join, such as a free eBook along with their subscription). Take a look to the right – see my subscription form? Join it!
- Let your subscribers know of any new posts or content you’ve added to your site. This is a great method to generate instant traffic.
- When you launch a new product, send out a short e-mail letting everybody know about it. By now you’ve got your name out there and your readers trust you.
- Run exclusive contests or promotions specifically targeted towards your list. Doing so will make your subscribers feel valued to be a part of it.
- Increase conversion ratios and make more money. Send out a message promoting the latest and hottest affiliate product and watch your sales skyrocket overnight.
I’ve been building my list for almost 5 years and have thousands of subscribers. If I hadn’t done this, it would be much harder to market, promote and stay in touch with my readers. If you have a site, you need to make a list!

You’ve put it in a very simple and easily understood manner. Hope more people learn to do it – I’ve heard too many moaning about it being too tedious!

I’m still surprised at the number of sites I visit where a list isn’t implemented yet. Webmasters are missing out on so much.
