Building A Huge List With Article Marketing: Can It Be Done?

Most Internet Marketers know this phrase like the back of their hands: The money is in the list. A lot of people in the
IM niche think they need a huge list to make a decent income online. This is an almost established way of thinking
and I'm certain it will pop up in your mind sooner or later. The biggest drawback with this way of reasoning is that it
stops people from building a list for their online business.
People think you need to have a list of at least 10,000 or even 15,000 members before they can make a decent income. And when they realize that it's not going to be something easy to do they simply stop trying to build a list.
Let me tell you right here and now that this is without a doubt not true. There's a case study where an Internet Marketer
with a tiny list of 1,236 members made a whopping $15,000 from that list.
How did he do that? How can you sell $15,000 worth of products to only 1,236 potential buyers? There are a few criteria that have to be met before you can pull this trick off. First of all, you need to have a close relationship with the
members of your list. It means you'll have to earn their trust. Secondly, they have to be well informed about the available services and products on the Internet and they have to get that informaton from you. Last but not least they must buy a big ticket item from you.
In the before mentioned case study the big ticket item was $1,000 a piece. So as a list owner all he had to do was selling
15 copies of that item to make $15,000 gross. Since he was selling it as an affiliate, he made something around $7,500. That's still a considerable amount of money for sending just one email to your list.
Let's go back to the size of that list. Just 1,236 members, a little bit more then a 1,000 subscribers. Can I ask you a question: can you build a list of 10,000 subscribers? If you're new to list building, probably not. But can you
build a list of 1,000 members? Or, to be a tiny bit bolder, say 1,500? Without any hesitation I dare to say that everybody can build a list of
1,000 subscribers.

So how are we going to do that? You will have to build a squeeze page and put it on your website. Then you
will have to drive some traffic to the squeeze page and gather as many subscribers as you can. You can drive traffic
to your lead capture page very fast with advertising, like Google Adwords. But if buying clicks is not a viable option for you, you definitely should try article marketing. Suppose you write and submit one article a day, which is very doable, and you stick to this scheme for at least a few months. For most people submitting the articles to the
proper directories is tedious and time consuming but you can spend your time more wisely and outsource this work to an article submission service.

It will take some time to see any significant result with article marketing, as this method of driving traffic to your
website needs some time to get into gear. But after some time these articles will pull in a flood of visitors to your site and you
will see a constant flow of subscribers added to your list every day.
I think it's fair to say that you don't need a big list to make a decent amount of money online. But what is possible with a huge list?. Think about it. If you can make $15,000 with 1,236 subscribers, what can you achieve if you
had a list of 10,000, 50,000 or even 100,000 members? And you know, you can pull this off with article marketing.
Just keep writing those five articles a week for at least six months and you will see some amazing results.
Let's face it, even the professional marketers of today started with their first visitor and making their first sale.
It all begins with taking the first step. So why don't you start today and build a huge list with article marketing?
