Without a shadow of doubt, the main thing you need to make money online is……… a targeted and engaged contact list. Without this you will really struggle to get any referrals to join the programs that you want to build…… and everyone knows the more referrals you get the more money you will earn!
There are a few different ways that you can start building this contact list:
Use a lead capture page that you share on traffic sites.
Create a business focused but personal profile on social media.
Start a group on Facebook.
Send an email to someone elses contact list.
Personally I have done all of the above and I now have well over 10,000 contacts who are interested in making money online.
How do you start?
My advice would be to work on creating BOTH an email list and a social media contact list. These options work extremely well together. They are like 2 parts of the same strategy……
Many people will find it easier to start off with a social media account. My favourite is Facebook but feel free to use whatever platform you are most comfortable with.
I recommend you open a personal profile account that you are willing to use for marketing. The account that I use is this one on Facebook
You do not need to have any work online type of name…… in fact it is better to use your own name. You also need to learn how to actually attract the right people to your account (a targeted audience). You want to focus on getting good quality leads added to your account and not just anyone……
In my next post I will explain a few things that will help you to start using a personal Facebook profile effectively for marketing.
