First, choose your niche. Health,
finance and business, relationships, self-improvement... choose something you
enjoy yourself that's filled with people who spend money. The hungrier your
market, the better. Either create a
lead magnet or have one created for you. It should be an offer so enticing that
visitors can't help but opt-in to get it. Put an upsell after that squeeze page
to earn some up-front money.
Run solo ads or Facebook ads to send
traffic to your squeeze page. Just spend a little bit here and there at first
until you get your squeeze page and upsell page tweaked and optimized for best
results. Then buy more traffic. Use the profits from the upsell to buy MORE
traffic. Yes, you will be spending money.
But done right, you will also be making money. Worst case scenario, you
spend $5,000 to build your list of 10,000 people. Best case scenario, you make
that $5,000 or more on your upsell to pay for your list building.
It's a leap of faith to do this.
Which is why most will never do it. But because most never will, that leaves
plenty of room for YOU to do it.
Don't have money to invest in
traffic? Then you'll have to use 'free' methods, which aren't free. They
involve spending time and effort, but again, it's totally worth it. Now here's
another 'secret' to getting this done - anything, and I mean ANY PART of this
endeavour that you don't want to do yourself, you outsource. Get someone else
to do it for you. Yes, outsourcing costs money.
You're building a business, aren't
you? You are looking at earning a $5,000 a month income within 3-4 months, so
just make the investment and do it.
Mail your list consistently as it
grows. That means once you have your first subscriber, you start mailing 4-7
times per week. This is where you're going to put your real effort - into
writing emails that make people WANT to open them and read them. You can't
force people, but you sure can entice them. Whatever it is that your particular
list wants, give it to them.
If you don't know what that is, hang
out where they hang out, talk to them and ask them what they want, what they
need, what one thing would make a big difference for them. "But all of
that sounds like so much work!"
Guess what? If you want to build a
business it's going to take work. It's going to take going through some bad
stuff, some stuff that doesn't work, some stuff that costs you money to build
your business. But once it's built, you have a perpetual fountain of money on
your hands. You keep building the list, you keep emailing the list and you keep
promoting to the list. Build, email and promote.
Imagine the lifestyle where you can
be anyplace in the WORLD, send out an email and literally get money into your
account that same day. 5 sales, 50
sales, 500 sales, all from one email. But to get to that point you've got to do
the work first. And I don't care how many programs you buy. The fact is sooner
or later you will finally come to the realization that regardless of what else
you might be doing, you should also have a list.
Because a list is security. It's
money in the bank. Now think about this: A year from now something happens and
you need to make serious money FAST. Maybe you found the house of your dreams
but you're short $20,000 for the down payment. Maybe your son needs an
operation and your insurance won't cover $20,000 of it, and they won't do the
operation until you get the money.
Maybe the IRS says you owe $20,000 in
back taxes and they're about to take your home. Whatever it is, you need a
substantial amount of cash in your hands NOW. But thankfully, a year ago you
began building a list. Within 4 months your list was up to 10,000. Now it's
over 30,000. You send out one email. And the next day you have $5,000 in cash. So
you send another email the next day, and two more after that. And you have your
$20,000. You get the house. Or your son gets the operation. Or the IRS leaves
you the heck alone. Now that is security. That is power. That is freedom.
And it all starts with you, right
here, right now, creating your funnel and building your list.
