Building A Huge List With Article Marketing: Is It Possible?

Building A Huge List With Article Marketing: Is It Possible?

By:


Most Internet Marketers know this phrase like the back of their hands: The money is in the list. A lot of people in the
IM niche think they need a big list to make a decent amount of money online. This is an almost established way of thinking
and I'm certain it will pop up in your mind sooner or later. The biggest problem with this way of reasoning is that it
stops people from building a list for their online business.

People think they need a list of at least 10,000 or even 15,000 subscribers before they can make a decent income. And when they realize that it's not going to be an easy task they just stop trying to build a list.
Let me tell you right here and now that this is without a doubt not true. There's a case study where an Internet Marketer
with a tiny list of 1,236 members made an amazing $15,000 from that list.

How in the world did he do that? How can you sell $15,000 worth of products to only 1,236 potential buyers? There are a few criteria that have to be met before you can make money like that. First of all, you need to have a good relationship with the
members of your list. It means you'll have to earn their trust. Secondly, they have to be well informed about the available services and products on the Internet and they have to hear it from you. Last but not least they must buy a big ticket item from you.

In the before mentioned case study the big ticket item was $1,000 a piece. So as a list owner all he had to do was selling
15 copies of that item to make $15,000 gross. Since he was selling it as an affiliate, his take was probably around $7,500 (50%). That's still a considerable amount of money for sending just one email to your list.

Let's go back to the size of that list. Just 1,236 members, a little bit more then a 1,000 subscribers. Can I ask you a question: can you build a list of 10,000 subscribers? Not a very likely scenario if you're a new kid on the block. But can you
build a list of 1,000 members? Or, lets say 1,500? There is no doubt in my mind that anyone can build a list of
1,000 subscribers.

How are we going to make that happen? You will have to build a squeeze page and put it on your website. Then you
will have to drive some traffic to the squeeze page and gobble up as many subscribers as you can. You can drive traffic
to your lead capture page very fast with paid advertising, like Google Adwords. But if buying clicks is not a viable solution for you, you definitely should try article marketing. Suppose you write and submit one article a day, which is easy to achieve, and you stick to this scheme for a few weeks or even months. For most people submitting the articles to the
right directories is tedious and boring but you can spend your time more wisely and outsource this work to an article submission service.

It will take some time to see any significant result with article marketing, as this method of driving visitors to your
website tends to start off slowly. But after a while these articles will pull in a flood of traffic to your site and you
will see a constant stream of subscribers added to your list every day.

I think you will agree with me that you don't need a huge list to make a decent amount of money online. But what are the possibilities with a huge list?. Let this idea go through your mind. If you can make $15,000 with 1,236 subscribers, how much would that be if you
had a list of 10,000, 50,000 or even 100,000 members? You do realize that this can be done with article marketing, don't you?
Just keep writing those five articles a week for at least six months and you will see some amazing results.

Let's face it, even the professional marketers of today started with their first visitor and making their first sale.
It all begins with taking the first step. So why don't you get started today and build a huge list with article marketing?
