COLLECT NAMES & EMAIL ADDRESSES

When a guru says he made $37,879.98 in 36 hours, MAYBE he did. But to get to the point that he could do that, he build up a list of names and email addresses. He become acquainted with those on his list. He had helped them build up trust in him. So all he had to do to make money was to find a new offer and send it to them.

That is the REAL SECRET to making money on the Internet. You build a list of customers. Then you use email marketing to sell to your list. (See Email Marketing in the Index above).

To gather names, most email marketers and website owners use AWeber.com but GetResponse.com is also a very good site. There is a free program at GetResponse.com that can get you started but you will have to upgrade later.

The first thing you do after signing up at AWeber or GetResponse is to upload your current email list. The site will send and email to each one on he list asking the person if he wants to be on your list.

You can have more than one list according to the interest of your customers. If you have multiple websites, you can separate those who sign up for your list.

AWeber.com and GetResponse.com will give you all the auto responders you need to service your customers. You can automatically send out a series of messages to your new customers and instant messages to all of your customers.

You can't imagine how profitable this can be and is for many Internet Marketers.

It is fairly expensive to use AWeber.com or GetResponse.com but if you are selling, it certainly won't break the bank. Free auto responders are not all that great. They have ads that take customers away from you. Well, most of them do. You can also use a mail program with auto responders build in. They are less expensive as you have no ongoing cost but I have had bad luck such. Your ISP can block outgoing email and the programs are complicated to learn. Go with Aweber.com or GetResponse.com.

If you plan to make lots of money on the Internet, then you must collect email addresses.
