Building Lists - You Can Sell Your Product and Build Your List at the Same Time

If you're an Internet marketing person who is selling an affiliate product, you get an affiliate link that leads to the product's web site or sales page. Lots of people also make the common mistake of thinking that they aren't able to be list building when are set up as an affiliate marketer. Not the case at all.

As long as it's not against the owner's terms of service or affiliate agreement, you can use any means of selling a particular product. Spamming, for instance, irritates everyone so it would be against both of those conditions, in all cases. Any other legitimate way to sell a product is fair game. Be the creative person you know you are, and success with list building and sales will come easily for you. And it seems to make the product owner happy, too.

List building while selling the other person's product is simple. First, set up a squeeze page, then on that page, give people a review of the product. If you sell it, you had better be using it, know that it's a great product, and endorse it honestly. As the promoter or affiliate for whatever products you choose to represent, give them more than a testimony, give them a great review. You can do that in 250 words or less.

Include information in your review about the features that are beneficial to the user. As mentioned earlier, be honest, your review should also give the cons of the product. Nothing is 100% great and people will usually find small things that they would change to tailor any given product to suit them. If your review is too glowing, it won't seem real. Here's what I mean:

Tellman Knudson's MyFirstList is a great product for the beginning marketer. Not only does it tell you how to get your list building page built, but it points you to the services you need to get it up and running. Not only that, but you can complete the course in just 9 hours. That means you can buy it one day, and take action on it the next. In fact, the program is so rapid-fire that you can be list building by that second day, too.

A couple of drawbacks that some might see is that you will need to spend money to get the system working, but you know what they say, "You have to spend money to make money." And when you invest in 'free', you will probably get 'nothing' in return." When you apply the system, yourself, and your investment, you will make money. Push your investment aside, lose your drive, whatever, and no, you will make nothing, and that is the raw truth. Another drawback is that getting set up is quite technical, but you are instructed step-by-step over the technical humps. I am totally technically challenged and the instructions were made clear, even for me!

I do know, and can honestly say, this system truly does work! I haven't just tried it, I'm using it, and I am thankful for the day I was introduced to MyFirstList. I am making money with it already, though I just bought it last week. How wonderful is that? For more information about MyFirstList, just fill in your first name and email address and I'll get it to you right away.

A straight affiliate page is a much better example because an affiliate link for MyFirstList is located there and would lead to another squeeze page. However, people might not be too kosher about opting-in to your list twice before they even see what your product is about, unless your review totally blows them away.

After people opt-in to your list and confirm their membership, the first autoresponder message they receive should be your "thank you" page. Give people a bit more information about the product and the opportunity to buy or join by including your affiliate link. This is very easy to do and you should always be list building, any way you can, as it is the single most important thing you can be doing to begin making money rapidly and seeing your way to real success!
