How To Understand What Your List Means To Your Business.

Why you need your own list

It is vital that you get a grasp on what having your OWN list is and just how important it is to your survival in doing business online.

Had I really understood this myself when I started my business online I would have moved a long a lot faster than I have.
From what I had heard I knew as a matter of knowledge of the necessity of a list.
Mike Dillard goes into great detail about this subject in his book, Magnetic Sponsoring.
However, it turned out to be something I had to experience before I truly understood it. One of the reasons, I believe, it was difficult for me was the fact that I didnt have my own list.
Until you see something really working for you is it possible to truly understand it?

I never really truly understood the importance of the irritating act of buckling a seat belt until a truck hit me. Then, all of the sudden I really understood its importance.

When I started I thought lists were made by list companies to be purchased and used, and so that was the way I began.


I thought about contact lists this way simply because that was all I knew. I knew I needed to be in contact with enough people in order to find the ones that would be interested in either my company or my companys products.

I would use the lists that I bought and get very disappointing results every time. These people rarely answered and when they did answer, they sure didnt know they were getting a call from me. It didn't seem to matter how wonderful the list sounded before I bought, I lost time and money with each attempt. When I would contact someone about my problems, their responce was usually to just keep trying until I figured it out.

My how things have changed for me now compared to my old thinking that leads were to be purchased from someone else instead of producing my own.

Im glad that I finely learned how wrong I was.

My list now is made up of people who have come to me because they like what they learning either by the written word or through videos and want to know more about me or my business. This will happen for you also if you are willing to devote a little time and effort.
Im not in a rush anymore, because everyday more and more people are opting into my list indicating either they want more information or asking me to give them a call.
When I tried this on my own all I experienced was a fairly high degree of frustration. When I finely found someone who could show me what to do and how to do it, it was just a matter of putting what I learned into action. Now my list grows by at least 10 to 20 people every day without using PPC (pay per click.) The beauty of this process is that it can be learned in a fairly short amount of time.
Understand, you list is testing you out to see if you are the real deal. Once you have positioned yourself to be in a place where you have what people are looking for, your list begins to grow and grow and grow. You should have more and more people that want to have more information from you. As you deliver the info they are looking for and the tools to use through your affiliate programs the commissions begin to support your efforts.

I hope this has helped you understand the importance of having your own list. Every sigle online lead generation strategy that you are using should be designed to grow your list.
You really cant afford to not get this concept.

Your business livelihood is totally reliant upon your list and the rapport you build with them.

People are hungry for someone they can trust to guide them in their endeavors.
Let it be you!
