Unlike grocery lists or spare parts lists, in the
marketing sense of the term, a 'list' refers to a
list of customers. More specifically, in regards to
internet marketing, it refers to a list of emails
through which potential customers can be contacted.
If you've ever faced a situation where you needed to
enter your details (especially your email) before you
download something, then chances are that you are, or
have been, part of a someone else's list.
Even large companies that are already very established
use email lists of their own to keep track of their
customers, and alert them to new developments, offers,
and so forth. Of course, this ties in to yet another
question at hand...
Why Build and Use a List?
Commonly, not having a list is said to be 'leaving
money on the table', and that much is certainly true.
Take the example of a conventional clothes store.
Customers come, browse around, maybe buy something,
and then leave. Once they've left, the store has no
way of getting in touch with them, and maybe
convincing them to come back again.
On the other hand, if the store had their contact
details, they could notify them when they have a new
stock of clothes on the rack, or special discounts,
and so on. By doing so, the customer would then feel
compelled to perhaps come back, or at very least would
consider doing so.
Similarly, in whatever niche that you're into, if you
had a list of previous customers then whenever you
have a new product, or some other offer, you'd just
be able to shoot out emails and see if anyone is
interested. Simple as it sounds, this is amazingly
effective.
Think about it in terms of figures, if that helps.
Let's say you have an 8,000 strong list, and you
send out an email regarding your latest product that
costs $20. Even if only 10% of your list buys your
product, that is 800 instant customers and you would
have made $16,000.
To sum it up, the reason to build and use a list is to
establish a firm base of regular customers to which
you can market your products and offers too with great
ease.Labels: build a list, home business, home-based business, how to make money from home, increase website traffic, Internet Marketing, list, more internet visitors, Opt-in
How to get more web traffic?
This was a question posed on yedda today...
Here's my response.
- Create content for your blog that relate to the keywords you are wanting to get ranked for.
- Then submit articles to Ezine.com and similar articles sites with links back to your blog article, making sure to have the keywords scattered throughout your article.
- Create backlinks from sites that a highly ranked for your target keyword.

Traffic Python is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very
little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean,
with an attractive look and feel.
It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and
painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required
to gain the benefits. The Members Area is very well
laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do
after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running
in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links
and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use
into the generator and it transforms them into "Traffic Python"
links.
You create ads for anything you want to promote using the
Traffic Python Ad Generator, which is very easy to use.
You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.
And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed
in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent
links appear on the main page for quick reference.
Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most,
it is also right at the top of the main page when you login.
Very smart!
After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start
to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Traffic Python
link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the
Traffic Python link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool
slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image
with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Python.
So if anyone clicks the Traffic Python image they see the site,
and if they signup they become your referral.
It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without
even trying to just by using the site. Now every time the ad
window displays (your Traffic Python links get clicked) you earn
credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other
members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times
your ads get displayed. And this works virally--meaning as
you make referrals into Traffic Python (either by promoting it
or just using it and visitors click the Traffic Python image on
the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks.
And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount
of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Traffic Python also.
I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool)
but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links
got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Traffic Python
even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays.
That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best
of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline
with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is
where Traffic Python really shines.
They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's
valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to
your downline. But the best part about this feature
(and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells
you exactly how long until you can mail again.
Now THAT's cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Python.
It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic
and advertising.
