<p>Did you know that they say that each person on your email list equals about $1 a month?</p>
<p>Imagine that, just a list of 3000 to 4000 email subscribers and I can kick the day job to the curb.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-226" title="building a list" src="http://www.heidipassey.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/building-a-list-300x300.jpg" alt="building a list" width="300" height="300" />Of course, it starts slow.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t have 2000 subscribers overnight.</p>
<p>They will join, 1 by 1 by 1.</p>
<p>Alex says that you will start small, but need to <em><strong>THINK BIG</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Not only do you want a list, but you want a warm list. Not a cold list. As you build your list you should first focus on building relationships with your readers. The more value you provide them the more likely they will read your emails and buy something from you in the future.</p>
<p>You can send them tips, helpful links, videos, free ebooks. There are all kinds of things you can do. Just make sure what your are sending them is of value.</p>
<p>Show them that you are there to help them and that you want to see them succeed.</p>
<p>The more you build relationships and the more value you provide them the more they will trust you. Your readers will start to look forward to your next emails.</p>

<p>Suspects</p>

<p>You turn your suspects into prospects by giving them free, valuable information.</p>
<p>Then you start to build you relationships with them. Let them get to know you. Let them start to like you and then they will start trusting you.</p>
<p>Then you can start turning them into customers.</p>
<p>Alex overlooked list building for years. Now he has a list well over 23,000 subscribers. It is probably even loads higher than that now.</p>
<p>There is no time than the present to start. Don&#8217;t wait 2 years down the road thinking I&#8217;ll get to it later. Now is the time to start.</p>
<p>I actually starting learning about internet marketing about 1-2 years ago. I told myself I wasn&#8217;t advanced enough to learn how to build a list. <em><strong>Now I know that was complete nonsense. </strong></em></p>
<p>I highly recommend you download &#8220;List Building With Alex&#8221;. He leads you through how he built his list into the thousands. It also includes a 12 step guide to starting your own list. You&#8217;ll get some great tips and resources to get you going in no time. Oh ya, and it&#8217;s totally free. Check out my right side bar to download it.</p>
