Email Marketing - Build a Huge List Today

One of the first things you should do to build a huge email marketing list is create a 7 day ecourse. This ecourse will be given away for FREE just for customers coming to your website and signing up using their email. This 7 day ecourse is key because people love free stuff and they will have no problem providing their name and email address for this course. This is one of the best selling tools possible and you will be using their information for future sales.

Let me give you a small example of what email marketing can do for you. Let's take a look at a list of 2000 subscribers. When you develop a new product or sell someone else's product through affiliate marketing, you want to sell your product to your email list. Let's say your product is $30.00 and ONLY 10% of your email list buys your product. That is $6,000.00 per product launch with only 10% of your email list buying your product! The numbers are phenomenal and having an email marketing list is key to being successful in any type of business. Many people ask the question, "How can I drive customers to my site to sign up for my email list"?

One of the best ways to drive customer's to your website the inexpensive way is through article marketing. Article marketing is one of the best methods of marketing your website and drive customers to opt-in to your email list. Article marketing will cost you ZERO dollars to write and zero dollars to publish. It is FREE advertising and one of the BEST ways to drive customers to your website.

Another great way to drive customers to your website is to post on forums relevant to the product you are selling. Contributing to forums with the link to your website in your signature is another great way to drive FREE traffic to your website. Most people shell out thousands and thousands of dollars a year driving traffic to their website and fail to use these 2 absolutely free methods. Some people choose to go the Google AdWords route when driving traffic to your website. The only problem is that this method can be costly if you are not careful. If you are on a thin budget the 2 methods I recommend are article marketing and forum postings.

As you can see now, having an email list full of hungry customers wanting your products is key to your success in the internet marketing world. It is extremely hard to be successful without email marketing and it is a vital piece of internet marketing that sometimes goes unnoticed by the majority of email marketers. I wish you the best of luck in developing your email marketing list. My advice to you is to never give up! Your success in this industry takes time and practice without a lot of trial and errors. Sometimes it takes a few failures to be successful in this industry!
