I received 2 emails yesterday about buying email lists, one from a wealthy affiliate member and one from (not wanting to name names lets just say) another internet training program. Let me tell you straight off that no matter who tells you what, at the end of the day you have to make a decision on who do you trust: I’m going to outline the two emails below.

1st email: Don’t buy an email list…

Buying an email list is usually a sure way to pay money for nothing. The basic flow of things is that there are companies that harvest emails from all sorts of places, most of these emails are very old and may not even be in use, they are packeged up ad then sold as emal lists. There are alternatives stated the email .

I followed through and clicked the link, I landed on a blog, I got some good information about how to find a partner in your niche circle and basically to ask if they would allow you to place an add in their email list, you offer a fee to the list owner and the relative link to your squeeze page for your complementing offer …You are able to build a list of your own whilst sending your offer to someone else’s  targeted subscriber list..

2nd email: No mailing list:  No problem…

This email was stating that it’s too hard and long to build a list… Tired of hearing that you need a mailing list of your own to succeed online? I can’t blame you. After all, building a list is hard work and takes time!
* It takes TRAFFIC to build a list of your own
* You need a WEBSITE to build your own list
* It takes a LONG TIME to build a list!

It promised me 1000’s of targeted email addresses, in any niche it. Much further on in the email they went on to say “I could rent a list. “

Umm I wondered if the link would lead me to more great info, it led me to a squeeze page, with one eyebrow raised I entered my email address then I was sent to a PDF that spoke about the power of ezine marketing, The bottom line was I should buy advertising in ezine directory’s. Then there was an upsell to another ebook.

Which method do I trust?

Well the way I see it the first email offered value with nothing to buy and methods that were fresh and honest.  The second email gave me nothing a affiliate marketer doesn’t already know, ‘article marketing works to drive traffic’. Plus it suggested I rent advertising space and also buy his ebook

(The 1st email was from the WA Member)

Building a element of trust is what the list is about you must always offer value, only that will keep me on one of those email lists and certainly encourage me to unsubscribe from the other.

As a bonus to joining wealthy affiliate you can get “Inside The List” a best selling $67 eBook for free ….

“Folksonomies” – a New Viral Marketing Tool

A new consumer phenomenon is called “tagging” or “folksonomies” (short for folks and taxonomy).

Tagging is powerful because consumers are creating an organizational structure for online content. Folksonomies not only enable people to file away content under tags, but, even better, share it with others by filing it under a global taxonomy that they created.

Here’s how tagging works. Using sites such as del.icio.us – a bookmark sharing site – and Flickr – a photo sharing site – consumers are collaborating on categorizing online content under certain keywords, or tags.

For instance, an individual can post photographs of their iPod on Flickr and file it under the tag “iPod.” These images are now not only visible under the individual user’s iPod tag but also under the community iPod tag that displays all images consumers are generating and filing under the keyword.

Right now Flickr has more than 3,500 photos that are labeled “iPod.”

Tagging is catching on because it is a natural complement to search. Type the word “blogs” into Google and it can’t tell if you are searching for information about how to launch a blog, how to read blogs, or just what. Large and small sites alike are already getting on to the folksonomy train. They are rolling out tag-like structures to help users more easily locate content that’s relevant to them.

Ready for what comes with the Launch – The Post launch!?

The best outcome that you could hope for with your first online marketing campaign is a big response.

The worst outcome is being battered by hundreds of emails awaiting your response.

Online buyers expect instant response to their info requests, it’s the nature of the beast.

So not only will you greatly frustrate your potential customers and buyers, but you’ll burn yourself out trying to handle all this alone. That’s where you invest in the inexhaustible personal assistant, the aweber autoresponder. Just set up your autoresponder to perform all of the tasks you need, and leave you free to concentrate on the next campaign.

The aweber autoresponder catches those vital email requests and in a ‘jiffy’ sends information back. You can set the autoresponder to actually come across as ‘personal’ by sending the friendly, welcoming note that you wrote.

The aweber autoresponder also logs the email information of prospects or buyers. That’s absolute gold for building your email list. Smart Internet marketers use this list to stay in touch on a regular basis.

No, you don’t have to bug your list with daily emails. But you do want to give them a “sneak preview” and pre-sale buying opportunity for new products along with many free tips. Another great use of the aweber autoresponder is to send regular newsletters.

Offering a free niche market newsletter helps you get those valuable email opt-ins to build your list. Some prospects want to learn more about products before buying. The newsletter is a tool for building a relationship and trust with your list, which are potential repeat buyers.

The facts are that buyers would rather choose products from trusted sources than take a chance on the unknown, so keep the relationship solid with regular, meaningful communication. Your aweber autoresponder can handle multiple lists and different messages.

That gives you a way to tailor the messages to prospects for each product. One of the biggest mistakes that marketers make is failing to target the message for each product list. They get complacent, write one message and one thank you  and then move on.

The aweber autoresponder is capable of so much more work for you. Give each list a distinct name that relates to the product so that you can easily identify the list. If the aweber autoresponder tool seems daunting, take time to view the video tutorials they are fantastic.

Even if you have an active list under management, scan through the videos and tutorials to see if there are new tricks you can learn for maximizing the effectiveness of your aweber autoresponder messages. Keep your electronic PA busy and you’ll generate more money online with less effort.
