Building a big list of customers is every business’ life blood. Talk of list building and nearly all network marketers become interested. But the fact remains that without insider tips and secrets, it can be a nightmare. Just knowing where to start from, makes the job of list building that much easier.
Here are 3 ways you can build a list online:
1. by networking in social media. This method takes time and manual work. It’s like any other type of networking, you have to meet people, shake hands (virtually), and follow up to keep them engaged.
2.by running PPC ads. This can be done by anyone, and with Facebook’s PPC program it’s as easy as pie.
3.by finding Joined Venture partners. This method requires networking and mingling with people who have big lists already. You have to be able to bring something to the table in order to get the JV deal, either a large list, or a good offer/product.
Having been online for a period of time, you probably realize this with your email inbox full of messages from other network marketers. Like you, most others are groping in the dark trying to get that elusive method to be able to build a huge list for them selves.
Write emails regularly
Once you start building your list make sure you communicate regularly with them. People are more likely to make a purchase from someone they know and trust as a friend rather than someone they don’t. People also tend to not buy the first time they get an e-mail from you so be patient, and don’t judge your days by the harvest you picked but by the seeds that you plant.
Join forums in your niche and help others by solving their problems and satisfying their queries. These forums can really help you get established as an expert or an authority in your niche. Comment on others blogs either in appreciation or as a person who is trying to guide. Lastly, write articles and let them be placed on directories of repute.

Thanks Shelly! There are still many people who are building a list for others and not themselves. My hope is that they will learn this principle sooner rather than later.
SEO brings customers who have been led to you by mathematics. List-building brings you people who have already expressed interest in subscribing to your informational products or who have already expressed interest in buying your products and services. These are true targeted buyers that you can rely on to revisit your site just because you interest them. You can use SEO to bring these buyers to your site but in the end SEO can’t compete with these humans who don’t care about how you spell things, how many photographs or flash banners you have on your site and if you have a lot of indexed links.
