This site may be devoted to teaching you how to make huge profits from your small list, but never forget that building your list is the most important part of your online business. Every day you must engage in at least one activity that will help you to add names to your list.

You will want to create several different opt-in pages that will attract different segments of your market. For example, I have recently added a page that will help me to reach the work at home mom’s that would benefit from what I am teaching online. That page looks very different from one that attracts men in their 30’s or people over 50 who are struggling with technology. Even though I serve all of these markets, the initial page they sign up for will look very different.

Write articles, post to your blog, use Twitter and Facebook, and hold regular teleseminars to reach more people and have them join your list. List building and marketing is a worthwhile activity that will increase your bottom line.

Building your list is the most important thing you can do to increase your online income. Even though I teach you how to maximize your profit from your current list, no matter how small, you must always remember that your ultimate goal is to keep growing your list of subscribers.

Public speaking is one way to build your list and gain credibility with your target audience. When I spoke in March at Matt Bacak’s Marketing Madness event, I not only added names to my list, but also built rapport with the people who were already on my list. They saw me differently when I was one of the speakers at the event.

You can start out small, by speaking at Rotary Club meetings and other small events. Over time you will be asked to speak at more venues that will help you to position yourself as an expert, both online and off.

This may sound difficult, but it is actually very easy to create a product. Think about what the people on your list really want from you. My people usually want me to explain some aspect of technology to them. I am able to create products by simply recording a video of me explaining how to do whatever they want to know.

For example, when my list asked me to explain how to publish an eBook on Kindle, my webmaster and I created a one hour video on how to do that, showing the step by step details. This product now sells for $27 on my main blog. I also did a 90 minute recording of how to get started with affiliate marketing. I sell that for $20, and a short report is also included.

Find out what your list wants from you, and then create a product quickly to sell to them. You may decide to do an audio recording, a video, or write a short report. Each product you create helps you to build your online business while you are still learning, and make money in the process.
