Build A Email List-Now!

Build a Email List – Now!

So many Internet businesses  fail this absolutely ESSENTIAL step of having an email list. You have the opportunity to jump out ahead of every online business not reading this article right now by simply setting up your mailing list if you donʼt already have one.

So, donʼt have a list. Set one up. Now!!! Why?

Your email list will be one of the most important assets you have in growing your  traffic and in monetizing it and making a bunch of money.

I have made many thousands of dollars from my email list. In fact, probably over half my yearly income from my Internet business is generated from my email mailing list.  NONE of it would have happened if I didnʼt have an email list.

So, how?

Find a solution for managing your email list and sign up. Of course, the big confusion there is going to be where to put your list. Youʼre probably going to try to find some script to install to your server to manage your list. Youʼre might even try some open source freebie.

Iʼm here to save you a lot of hassle. And just trust me on this one.

Use Aweber.com. The best move I ever made for my business was to start using Aweber.

I STRONGLY recommend them.

Sign up for Aweber. They are a third-party, commercial email service. Yes, that means it is going to cost you a little money. Admittedly, it might seem like a lot of money right now because you may not be making any money yet. But, Aweber is the right solution. The thing about Aweber is that email deliverability is astronomical. Plus, setting up with them early in your career is going to save you a LOT of hassle later.

I used to manage my email list in-house (meaning on my own server). Eventually, I began to find that a lot of the emails that I sent were not even arriving to my subscribersbecause of various deliverability issues and spam black lists (even though I wasnʼt spamming). I grew a brain and decided to go with a commercial service. Aweber, however, makes you re-confirm every subscriber when you import. I lost over half my mailing list because I had to move it! Iʼm not kidding.

So, take my word for it. Set your list up in a quality place from the get-go. And Aweber is my recommendation to you.

The Greg Walsh Project: Testing Audio Podcast About Social Media Two Major Problems

I just want to share a few facts regarding social media.

Today, social media is the most common and useful way to market and brand a product or services. In fact, there are so many platforms for businesses to communicate with their customers, particularly Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. But for this project, I will also create and demonstrate how this audio podcast can be used as a part of your business social media. The reason why social media is so important is because just about everyone is on it and utilizing it in some form or another.

However, there are some problems that businesses may experience while using social media.

For example, everyone knows that social media is a great for customers, and the fans that support, and “Like” your business.  But on the other hand, it is also a the ideal location for the fans to  find expression about a bad experience or, even worse, spread horrible negative feedback about your business.

Social media can be an exceptional tool for building a brand and character for your business; it can also be negative to a business with a good reputation.  Most businesses are usually, unprepared to handle the harmful feedback that’s related to their social media presences.

That’s why it is so important for any business to plan for and undoubtedly respond to the inevitable negative feedback that they may receive on social media. Ignoring that feedback, even though it sounds like the ideal route, is not the solution. The solution is to prepare how you will respond to those negative comments — will you offer unsatisfied customers simple condolences or something for free — and be sure to  follow through with those plans.

.

Another problem is, finding who will manage your social media presences. The kind of questions you would ask yourself that’s related to this social media problem is, will one of your employees do it?  Or should you outsource it?

Because as a business owner, it’s important to know how you will manage the content and information that will certainly be feeding into your social media streams.
