Building your list by leveraging your network
by Mike Paetzold
One of the fallacies some new people have is that you can build your business alone. This probably is one of the biggest causes of failure for people trying to make money online.
Now I know a lot of people bad mouth the Good Old Boy network. The network, whether they be boys or girls is the key to growing your business.
People do business with people that they know and trust. Building relationships is the key to any type of business online or off.
Why do you need a network?
Sitting in your house by yourself at that pc day after day can be extremely hard. How do you stay motivated? Having a buddy that you hold yourself accountable to can be extremely motivating.
I don’t know about you but I do know that if I have made a commitment to someone else I always go out of my way to keep it. Now I try to do that with myself but I can give myself excuses why I didn’t much easier than I can someone else.
Having someone that can answer a question or bounce ideas around with can be invaluable.
Now, how can your network help you build your list?
Have a new product, a new viral book? Aren’t the people in your network that know and trust you more likely to promote your new product? Sure they are.
All you have to do to leverage your network to build your list is to find a win-win situation.
Here is an example. I own Viral Tool Set and create viral rebrandable e-books for clients. Each time the customer launches their product I promote it to my lists of people that are interested in Viral Tool Set. It helps my customer start their list and allows me to show all my prospective customers another finished product.
We both win.
There are a few other ways to make a win-win. If you are creating a mailing list, have a one time offer after people subscribe. Offer your network a percentage of the OTO by setting up an affiliate program for it.
They send you prospective subscribers for your promotion in hopes of making some money. You both win.
In summary - Your network is your most important asset. Properly used it will help you solve problems, avoid mistakes and can even be leveraged to help build your list.
