Business Email List Building -
Is It Worth The
Effort?
The internet
is a great place for building
up hype, and list building
seems just one such hyped up
tool. Can business email list
building really be so important
for a business’s success? Is
there any evidence available to
support this claim? Do we just
take the word of an internet
guru and promote it as the
ultimate truth? Do we easily
get persuaded to believe that
it is the next best thing? Do
we just trust someone’s word or
is there any logic to this
madness? Are we equally to be
blamed for this hype? Are we a
willing party to it? Too many
questions bother us when we
decide to follow a certain line
of
action.
Unraveling The
Mystery
Why don’t we
do some spade work and verify
these claims by unearthing the
hard facts? Are we too lazy to
do it? Do we get blindsided by
the dream of building a passive
income easily? Let us try and
find the truth behind this myth
of making money by business
email list building? Let
us first consider some of the
things that we hear
regularly.
-
A well run
business email
list has the potential
of generating $1 /month for
every contact on your
list.
-
If you
have a business email
list of about 5000
members, you will earn a
tidy sum every
month.
-
If you
have a business email
list of 10,000 members
or more, you will earn a
hefty packet each
month.
Now, let us
examine these statements. Even
if earning $1 per month per
contact is not true, let us say
you just earn $1 per four
persons per month; a list of
4000 members would still get
you $1000 per month. That is
not bad, not bad at all. Going
by the same logic, a list of
more than 10,000 members will
make you very well off indeed.
So, there seems to be some
truth to business email
list building after all.
It does seem convincing. And
then there are these people,
lots of people claiming that
they do make this kind of
money. They all can’t be lying.
So, we can easily surmise that
the amount of money that you
end up making depends upon the
size of your business email
list, and the way you run
it.
One very
important fact that we should
never overlook is the
importance of making your ‘own’
business email list. List
building takes time, effort,
and patience, but it is not a
difficult task. It is easy to
add about ten subscribers to
your business email
list everyday by just
offering them free products
that you yourself have picked
up from the net. That means
about 3650 subscribers in a
year. You can earn a four
figure income per month in less
than a year. Money that you
eventually make flows from
there.
Whatever you
do in order to augment your
list building, one thing is
clear- the sooner you start,
the sooner you start earning.
So what are you waiting for?
Get down to some serious
business email
list building.
