Web-Building for Beginners

Should beginners/newbies start off with a blog, a website, or both or neither?

Now this is a great question and my personal thoughts regarding this is that newbies should work on creating a squeeze page. The biggest thing that you want to focus on, if you’re new to marketing online is to focus on building your list and building your product. This is absolutely imperative because that’s how you’re going to be making the most money simply because you can sell to these people again and again. Remember, you’ll own the list because your opt-in will allow you to capture the names and email addresses of these prospects. So, I would highly urge you to do exactly that! Focus on building your list of people that are hot and hungry for that product or service you have to offer them.

Another thing I’d highly recommend is that you start looking for joint venture partnerships. Look for people that you can market your business, products and services to and build a relationship with them. Especially if you’re a newbie, start building relationships now, because when you’re ready to launch a product, then you have those people in the bag in order to make that happen.

Do I think beginners should have a blog?

Sure, but only if they can focus all their time and energy on it and systematize it so that they are posting on a regular basis. For example, if you write articles and submit your articles to the various sites out there and then take those articles and you put them on your blog, this makes a lot of sense. Basically, if you are writing articles to submit anyways, you may as well put them up on a blog. However, if you’re considering sitting down and writing specific, special content, specific for your blog, then I wouldn’t recommend it. Why? It’s going to de-focus you at the beginning.

Should a newbie start with articles even before they have a product or a website?

Yes, absolutely. I would recommend writing your articles and using them to drive people back to your squeeze page or a page where you’re capturing people’s information. This will enable you to send them information they are interested in as well as market your product to them. Here are three things you want to focus on, your list, your high ticket product and lastly maybe your continuity, too.
Now, if you ever asked me what would be the quickest way for you to make money, I would tell you by having a high ticket product. It takes the same amount of effort as selling a lower ticket product, but you can afford to sell fewer to make the same money.

Best Ideas for Building Your List

Building a list can be a daunting task for some, but it can be accomplished fairly quickly depending on how much effort you put into it. Now, there are several ways to accomplish this and I’m going to try to go over some of the best techniques I have found in this article.

The first thing I suggest is setting up joint ventures. This is great because it gives you access to other’s lists when promoting your product. It also gives you a targeted captive audience who may also register on your site to receive more information.

However, before you start driving more traffic to your site you should make sure that it is easy for your visitors to sign-up. What this means is that you should include a registration form or link on every page of your website since visitors can find your site through any given page.

Article submission is another favourite of mine. The more quality articles you can produce and post to the multiple ezine and article sites the better your chances are of finding more subscribers. If the submission site likes your article and receives a lot of traffic because of it, they may choose to archive it, which will give you even more exposure! If you can’t or don’t like writing you can always hire someone to do it for you through a freelance site like elance.com. Either way, try to at least post an article a month.

Of course, Google Adwords is another option for building your list. However, this costs money and if your funds are limited you may want to try MSN. You will probably find that they are a bit cheaper, but do provide good value. If you choose to advertise this way always make sure you track and test the ads that are or aren’t bringing you the most amount of visitors.

Solo Advertising is also effective. This is typically when you write an email and pay someone to send it to their list(s). This is different from a joint venture because it is not a partnership and therefore all revenue generated is yours to keep. A good place to get started with this is ezines-r-us.com. When you go to this site just click on “targeted solo ads” and it’ll go through and actually tell you everything about it. They have several lists to choose from to help you target your customers better. They also vary in cost depending on the size of the list you are submitting to. You can search for more of these types of sites under the term “solo advertising” or “targeted solo ads”.

The last thing you can do is press releases through either PRWeb or PRWeb Direct. If you are not sure what press releases are or how to do them, just visit these sites to get a clearer idea of what is expected in a good PR piece.
Actively promote your site and you are sure to see an increase in your sites traffic and an increase in sales!

“The First Step to Building an Opt-In List”

Who do you listen to when it comes to your Internet business? Would you listen to an Internet entrepreneur that tripled his opt-in list in less than 90 days? Of course you would! Especially, since he built a list of over 102,000 people.

How did he do this? He knew that success leaves clues. So he found out who was the most successful in Internet business and wanted to model them. He researched this area and field tested his techniques. From this process arose his 12 step formula for building a list.

The power of his list is amazing. You can triple the number of subscribers on your list and double your income in 99 days. If you know the steps of building a list then you can accomplish this feat sooner and easier than you realize.

What is an opt-in list? It is a contact list of subscribers, leads, and prospects.

Having your own list is extremely valuable. Basically, your money is in your list. Plus, your relationship with your customer list is the basis of where your profits will come from.

So how do you build an opt-in list? First, let’s talk about the two golden rules of opt-in lists.

Two golden rules of lists:

1. He/she who has the list makes the rules.

2. He/she who makes the list gets the gold.

You need to build your list as fast as you possibly can to maximize your profit. Why? When you have a robust subscriber list you can constantly sell to them. In fact, you can make thousands and thousands of dollars in merely 3 days if you have an extensive subscriber list. The sky is the limit.

Tip: You don’t have to have a huge list to make a lot of money. The key is to have a quality list. If you have a small list that is full of active buyers than you can often make much more than if you have a large list with fewer buyers.

Building your list is difficult if you don’t have a system. You need a proven system that is easy to understand and implement. Following is a step-by-step system you can use to triple the size of your list in 99 days or less.

The first step is to survey your customers. Ask your customers what their biggest problem is right now. Then create a product or service that provides a solution for that problem.
