The Key to Building a Long-term Online Income!

Always, always, always capture the contact details of your
visitors to your web pages.

Rather than generating traffic through pay per click,
search engine optimization, and other methods and then
sending that traffic to your affiliate link, you should
make an effort to convert them into list members first.

Why?

Two reasons:

1. simple mathematical reasoning; and
2. the collective experience of many marketers.

The simple mathematical reasoning goes something like this:

Virtually everyone who would have purchased the product
will opt in to your mailing list. And many who definitely
would not have purchased the product will opt in to your
mailing list.

So instead of converting at a rate of around 1-3% (in
affiliate sales), you will convert between 15 and 40% of
visitors (to your mailing list).

From there, not only will you get the chance to contact
the willing buyers, you will also be able to contact your
more reluctant visitors to convince them to purchase your
product.

Additionally, once they’re on a list, this is no longer a
one-off effort. You get the chance to market to them again
and again for months or even years.

As a marketer, one of the best tools you have available is
your list. Always, always, always use your list. It is the
key to building a long-term sustainable online income.
