SECRET.....Why A List Is So Important To You & Your Business

If you have any type of business from a physical store to eCommerce to providing a service or digital product the secret you need to know and understand is "YOU" need to start creating your email/customer list like yesterday!



I feel too many people/businesses focus on the front end sale and forget about the browsers who are close and almost ready to buy! Let me give you an example, you get 300 visits to your shop in one day 50 give you clear buying signs that they want your product/service now! Another 150 browse and 100 are just time wasters. Where most go wrong is the focus on the 50 quick today sales.

What have we done with the 150 that browsed showing a sign of interest but the timing was not right? Probably nothing, what happens next is we start to struggle to find new customers because we may have wasted this vital opportunity letting the customers walk away for good and not control the situation bu getting them on your LIST

This why building a list is so important not only will you capture the people who bought, you will also capture the 150 people who could have been a potential buyers!

NOW I HAVE MY LIST
1. People who bought - offer them a repeat product/service or new product/service
2. People who browsed - let them know that everyone else has seen great results from X or enjoying the benefits of using Y

If you follow this practice you will build your list to 10,000s so you don't have to chase new customers, when you want more income you simple just send an email to your list and watch the sales come to you?

Am I making sense?

You Make a Sale = You Get the persons email address
You Get a browser = You Get the persons email address

WHAT NEXT.................

Follow up is KEY = now you have people on your database you just do the simple follow-ups by giving value on the email and promoting a product "dual information!"

SOOOOOOOO How do you start building a list?

For me I use an autoresponder the company is called Aweber CLICK HERE--https://arnterry.aweber.com

Don't let business slip away start investing in building your list RIGHT NOW!

Do You Need A Mailing List For Your Podcast?

Is it really necessary for a podcaster to have a mailing list?

The "quick answer" is NO.

But (there is always a "but," right?), if you want to communicate with your listeners in anyway, then YES, you should have a mailing list.

The question then becomes, "How do I get a mailings list from my podcast listeners?"

Believe it or not, almost all podcasters have some sort of mailing list. It really is the one thing that almost every podcast can actually start by themselves with very little effort.

Having a mailing list is important, especially if you are using your podcast to generate traffic for a business you own (either online or traditional). You can drive traffic from your podcast website, through your podcast episodes, through your YouTube Channel, through a Facebook page for your podcast or any of the other social media platforms you have.

How?

By offering a free checklist or other resource that is relevant to your listeners. Something that will actually benefit them. Actual training or something that you would normally charge for. Something that has a perceived value for the listeners.

This will give you an opportunity to sow something into their life and make that portion of their life better, all in exchange for their name and email address. You can ask for their email address because you will need to "send" the resource to them. It is a natural for them to agree if they perceive the value of the resource you are offering.

It is then an opportunity for you to nourish the relationship over time. Keep in touch with the people on your email list. Do not only communicate with them when you have something to sell them. Do not only communicate with them when you have a sale or some other event going on.

Send them, at a minimum, of a weekly email providing another aspect of training that you would normally charge for. If you have a traditional business that goes along with your podcast (for example, an auto repair shop), you should provide information that will assist them in self-diagnosing various problems on their car. Then, at the end of the email, a simple statement of "If you continue to have problems, bring a copy of this email into the shop and we will give you 50% off the diagnostic evaluation charge to see exactly what is going on."

You've been giving them great advice. Now, they have a problem and they are unable to diagnose it. You are offering them a chance to save some money just to find out what is wrong. So they come into your shop. Honor the commitment.

When you tell them what is wrong with the vehicle, what will their next question be?

"How much will it cost to fix it?" Now - you have a new customer!

I used auto repair, but you can use just about anything like that, even if you have an online business. Just offer, at least on a weekly basis (I actually recommend at least 3 times per week) something of perceived value. Even one section out of a training manual you created.

There are many different email auto-responders available. You can use Mailerlite, MailChimp or others. I have used Aweber for several years now. Just find one that works for you. Some are more complex than others, but offer more versatility. Some are a lot simpler to use but offer limited features.

The important thing is, START NOW!

Start collecting those email addresses by sowing something of value into the life of your listeners. You will be glad you did the first time you actually receive a sale from one of your listeners. That is when you realize "this stuff does work!"

It will then take you even further down the road of sowing into their life and offering your products as a solution to their problems.

They are happy and your are happy!

When I started my journey through https://go.leftclickrightclick.com/social-media-masterclass-v1?affiliate_id=2142222 I had a choice of choosing a platform to create Opt-In pages, landing and sales pages.

When I choose to grow my business by email, AWeber was the best option due to a few reasons 

1. Bang for Buck
2. So helpful
3. Global
4. focus on small to medium business


1. Bang for Buck
The amount of content offered is outstanding for a small fee of $19 per month, I have created opt-in pages, landing pages, and sales pages too! 💰💵💴💶💷


2. So helpful
Before I went with AWeber I researched their website and found a lot of info that assured and re-assured me to progress. Because I am not great with tech/set-up some how I ending up with x3 paying accounts, I contacted AWeber to my surprise they rang me, walked me through my orders, closed down two of my accounts and made the refunds to them two accounts, I was so happy with this customer service I had to share it on twitter https://twitter.com/Arn_Terry/status/1237860467256610828


3.Global
Because AWeber has clients around the world and my focus is to reach people internationally I was again re-assured that this was the right company to use. 🌍🌎🌏


4. Focus on Small to Medium business
From my understanding if you have high hundreds of thousands to millions of subscribers then I believe there may be better business to handle mass scale, however if you are just starting out, to having a hundred thousand subscribers AWeber is at the top of its game 😀

AWeber has been great for me and this is Why You need AWeber in your life 😁
