Good List – Bad List

Are you building your lists?

Every good marketer should be! Even if you believe email marketing will not work, you need lists.

Your friends list at social communities are a list. Is yours a good list…. or bad list?

Here are a few hints….

A good list is targeted to one subject or category. List building could be one, but is still a little to broad for a really good list.

Just your friends list is a bad one….. It is not categorized at all. Even I usually add everyone that request to be my friend. Most of them only want to sell something to you and are not looking to spend money….. not a good list! Now if you sort your friends into narrower categories as you accept them….. You know, take the time to visit their profile and see what they are into, then selecting the best list for them, even if they are not looking to spend money, they will be seeing information they are looking for from you and will pay you more attention!

The best lists are built from highly targeted capture pages offering information about only one thing (product or service). The people signing up for more information about this product or program are looking to eventually buy from the best info source.

Knowledge in many areas is required to build your lists like a professional, but can be done easily with a free blog and an autoresponder. Simple make a capture page on the free blog with the form from the autoresponder on it. One of the best free blog available is yours free right here on this SEO blog network and autoresponders are available to upgraded members (lowest price available of any pro responder!) at Community Marketing University along with training and live help to get you started!

Its never to late to start list building! Be sure to keep your lists highly targeted, do not try to get every person! It will make for a bad list.
