Why Email Marketing is Your Most Valuable Traffic Source

Many online business opportunity seekers have already heard this many times that “THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST”, still not many of them start to build their list of email subscribers as early as possible.

It is vital that if you are in any form of online business, especially affiliate marketing or network marketing, you start to build a list of email subscribers as quickly as you can.

Why? Because by building a list of subscribers, you can communicate with them again and again.

And depending on the value and information you are sending to them, this repeated communicationwill build trust, and some of them can quickly become your followers. They will be more responsive and receptive to what you say to them, and they may take action of whatever offer you recommend to them.

Remember that your list of subscribers are your warm market. And the sooner you start building your list, the sooner you will start to build your warm market. Your warm market are people who are your followers, because they know you, like you, trust you.

Over time, as you continue building your list of email subscribers and continue communicating with them, your warm market can grow into thousands of people, and this is when it starts to get very interesting (described below).

Sure, not all of your email list subscribers will become your followers or be responsive to what you are telling to them. But depending on the type of information you are sending to them,

you can expect anywhere between 5 percent to 30 percent of your list subscribers will become your followers. This is the norm.

So, considering you have 1000 subcribers in your list, expect 50 to 300 people will follow you.

These people will listen to what you say to them, and some of them will act on your recommendation or purchase your product or join your business opportunity under you. And if you grow your subscriber list to 5000 people over time, then expect 250 to 1500 people to follow you.

This is the core of email list building. You want to build a list of people who follow you.

These people are your FOLLOWERS. They are your WARM MARKET, and some of these people may become your HOT MARKET, because they really really like what you say to them and are ready to act on your recommendation.

So, How Do You Build An Email List?

To build an email list, you need an autoresponder. In your autoresponder, you can load your follow up messages and occasional broadcast messages.

Also, you can change your messages anytime, or add a new message or remove an old message etc, depending on the situation.

What an autoresponder does is, it will send your follow up messages in sequence to your list subscribers, according to the intervals in days that you set up in your autoresponder account.


No matter at what time a new lead join your list. That lead will keep receiving all your followup messages automatically, according to the day intervals you specified for these messages.

All In One Profits (AIOP), is one of the best autoresponders out there, which also has a great compensation plan. Furthermore, you can setup unlimited campaigns with AIOP.

After you have got an autoresponder setup with your follow up messages, then what you need todo is to create a lead capture page or squeeze page to capture your leads. These leads are people who become your subscribers.

In your lead capture page, you offer a bribe or incentive for free (this is also known as a Lead Magnet), so that people are invited to join your list in order to get that bribe.

This lead magnet can be a PDF, a video, a 7 day course, or anything else that is related to your business and which is also very attractive to your leads so that they think they can get great value from it.

Once they subscribe to your list, you give them the lead magnet for free (as you promised them), but the best thing here is that since they are now in your list now, you can communicate with them again and again, through your autoresponder follow up messages. This means you now have so much POWER in your hand in how you communicate them and direct them.

Why List Building is Your Most Valuable Traffic Source

In my opinion, out of all traffic sources available out there online, email marketing or List Building is bar none the BEST traffic source.

Yes, there are many other forms of traffic that you can use to get visitors to your offer. For example social media traffic, youtube traffic, your own blog or website traffic, free advertsing sites like traffic exchanges, safelists, classified sites, facebook groups traffic, paid advertising traffic like facebook ads, google ads etc.

But as I said before, for me email marketing or list building is best of all these trafficsources. This is because I have so much power in my hand when I build a list of people who are my followers.

And the great thing is, you can still utilize all these other traffic sources to build youremail list. Which means, you can advertise your lead capture page(s) at all these traffic sources, and get people opted into your list.

So why I consider email marketing or list building as the best traffic source?

Here are some reasons :-

Once you get people into your list, you can communicate with them again and again. You can offer them valuable information about your business or product (educate them), and at the same time you can recommend them to various promotional offers or businesses that you are involved in.

When you have people in your list, you have a medium that ALLOWS YOU to stay in touch with them. Having people in your list means you can communicate with them again and again and therefore give them repeated exposure about your offer. We all know that it takes anywhere between 5 to 20 exposures before people take a look at any offer seriously. Read this in this regard : Why Follow Ups Are So Important in Business?

When you have people in your list, you can drip feed them information gradually about your business, by sending them follow up messages one by one. This way, your prospects will not feel overwhelmed with too much information too soon, and they will have time to take things gradually. This is also helpful when they need time to come to a decision on whether to purchase your product or join your business opportunity or not.

When you have people in your list, you can get traffic to anything by just sending an email. Include a link to webpage where you want traffic within your email body, and then send the email to all your list subscribers with a single press on the SEND button, and you can get traffic to your webpage from all your list subscrbers who opens your email.

When you have people in your list, you have very much control on many things. You can control the content that you send to them, you can control the frequency (the time interval) of after how many days you send them each email. Also, with the broadcast feature of your autoresponder, you can anytime send them any new message. This is especially helpful if there is an interesting update about your business, or a new product launch that can really help your subscribers.

When you have people in your list, you are building an online ASSET that you own. And you have complete control over this asset. As I said before, some of your subscribers are going to become your followers. These people are your warm market. They know you, like you, and trust you. And these people are your ASSETS that can repeatedly generate income for you. It entirely depends on how carefully you nurture these people.
