List Building - The List Building Affiliate Debate is Settled
List building is the must have for the marketer who owns their own product.
But, what about the affiliate marketer.
Is there an advantage to having your own list as a promoter of others' products? Some would make the argument that because the product belongs to another, that there is no justifiable reason for creating and building a list of subscribers.
Well, let us settle the debate once for all.
The most successful super affiliate will definitely tell you that yes you need to have your own list in order to succeed.
Here is why: Without your own list, every visitor to your site could be lost after just one visit.
With your own list, your autoresponder will follow up thanking each visitor for their visit and encourage them to return to purchase through the link to your affiliate site and point out the benefits of purchasing your affiliate products.
You can use your autoresponder to set up tracking efforts knowing which advertising is working for you and concentrate your efforts on that instead of less fruitful endeavors.
Another reason that you need to have your opt in page and autoresponder connected filled with a prewritten salesletter followup list to be sent on autopilot to every visitor, is because this will automate the process of your advertising and increase visitor to sales conversions.
Affiliate marketers who use an opt in list make very hefty commission checks whereas those who attempt to do the same without a list, become part of the majority who fail.
Because we will not entertain failure as an option, the only option available is the opt in list for your marketing.
By getting a url shortener and redirect, you can use another opt in page provided by someone else so that you don't have to design your own and yet present it as your own with your own unique url pointing to it.
You will also be able to write custom autoresponder messages and have them ready to be dispatched to every visitor that opts in.
Now here is the real clincher.
Because you have the opt ins, you can now send your other promotions to this list as well and make commissions off a variety of products to offer your list instead of just one.
However, I recommend that you keep your various lists separate for better results(higher conversions) and set up a separate opt in list and autoresponder followup list of emails to send to each list for best results.
