Step #2 - Creating Your First Squeeze Page:
An Introduction to List Building

By this point you should have already figured out your niche market.

Your next task will be to start building a list of prospects who will become potential customers. This is called list building.

Why List Building Is VITAL To Your Affiliate Marketing Business

I want to impress upon you how important it is for you to focus on building your list.

Your list is the life-blood of your business. Without it you will spend more time generating traffic than you will making money.

Think of it this way - do you want to work extremely hard to get somebody to buy your product, and then do that over and over again?

Or would you rather work extremely hard to get somebody on your list, and then sell them multiple products?

The obvious answer is the second one.

I HATE Traffic Generation!

While I am good at generating thousands of visitors to my websites every day, I don't enjoy it at all.

I would rather spend time working with clients and marketing my products and services.

You'll notice that I said I would rather market my products than generate traffic. That is because they are NOT one in the same!

Traffic Generation does NOT equal Affiliate Marketing!

While traffic generation is a vital component of affiliate marketing, it is not in and of itself all there is to do. And yet it is such a huge question amongst marketers.

If you could instead focus on what you are going to do with your traffic, and then second on how to get that traffic, you will increase your profits a hundredfold.

In other words:

Write that down. Memorize it. Let it become your mission statement.

Small Lists CAN Outperform Big Lists - and Often Do!

While I will be teaching you how to generate lots of traffic to your websites, I do not want that to become your focus.

You may have hear about Chris Rempel's "behind the scenes" video that shows the actual marketing results & conversions behind a recent product launch.

It's a video that exposes the truth about email marketing. And it demonstrates that responsiveness is everything. That's why some affiliates with tiny, laughable lists consistently outsell affiliates with lists of over 100,000+. If you haven't seen the video you can find it on this page

In fact Chris - who developed The Rapid Profits LIst Formula has actually generated as much as $30k in profit from a single mailing - to a list of under 8,000 subscribers.

Your first goal with any visitor MUST be to get them on your email list

Whether you are running affiliate sites, Adsense sites, product sites, or any other type of site, your first goal should be to get visitors to subscribe to your email list.

One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is through squeeze pages.

What is a squeeze page?

A squeeze page is a very simple webpage that focuses on trying to capture the users name and email address (and sometimes more depending on your industry).

Usually the page does not try to sell you anything and also has no distractions such as Google Adsense ads.

The is usually to obtain your first name and email address so that in order to start building a relationship with you.

Now that you know what a squeeze page is, you will need to create one yourself.

If you already know how to web design, then this should be pretty easy. Just find a template of a squeeze page that you like and imitate it.

Here are a few examples:

• Squeeze Page Example 1 from Michael Brown

• Squeeze Page Examle 2 from Lee McIntyre

If you don't know how to web design you can always hire somebody else to do it for you.
