List-Building Mind-Map
Step 1 - Choose Your Niche
Make sure product has good sales page (video is a big plus)
Find a best-selling product (look at product gravit)
Find Product to Promote on Clickbank.com
Stick to the "Big 4" Markets
Subtopic
Step 2 - Setup your Autoresponder
create a web form
use your affiliate link
in already-subscribed
in custom thank you page
don't need the name field
Turn confirmed opt-in OFF
Create a list & fill in details
use aweber
Step 3 - Make Your Squeeze Page
Upload files to your server via filezilla
connect the web form to your aweber account
When designing the squeeze page
LESS is MORE! Don't use a lot of copy
offer something for free
Pique their interest
Use a template - don't make from scratch
set up domain and webhosting first
use hostgator for webhosting
use namecheap for domain
Step 6 - Take Business to $100-a-day and beyond
Get yourself a coach/mentor to build business fast
Learn from others, get on other marketers' lists
When you're ready, make your own product to sell
split test the heck outta your sales funnel!
include an inital offer, an upsell, and a downsell
use PLR or create from scratch
Remember - a large list (10,000 and above) SHOULD be a full time income if monetized properly
Set goals to hit each month
Consistency is key
ask yourself, "What am I doing today to move my business forward?"
Build your list every day
Step 5 - Send Traffic to Squeeze Page
Find traffic sources
free traffic
blog commenting in your niche
use forums in your niche
blogs in your niche
Provide something they can use for their blog or pay them
make a deal with blog owner to send to their list
solo ads - fast and effective, but must pay for them
use safe-swaps and warrior forum
Write commission-grabbing swipe email
Include "call-to-action" and link to squeeze page
Short and sweet is best
Follow AIDA principle
Step 4 - Set Up Series of Emails
Spread the distribution to every few days, don't send emails every single day
Add new emails every day or week, shoot for 40 or so
Follow 60/40 rule
These keep your list from going "cold"
