Whether you have been marketing for a while or not, successful or not, you have probably heard that the money is in the list.
You have most likely heard that you need to automate with autoresponders and get traffic using the seo power blogs.
The question is, how do you do all of this so that is doesn't take up a whole lot of time and once set up, runs pretty much on its own.
The following is how I do it and is a suggestion of how you can do this too.
First you need three things:
1. A list
2. A blog
3. An autoresponder
How to get a list
You can start building a list simply by joining giveaway events as a contributor and setting up a free gift and a squeeze page. A squeeze page is simply a regular html page with a brief description of what you are offering and an autoresponder sign up form embedded in the page. A good place to find out about upcoming giveaway events are www.giveawayannouncer.com and www.componga.com/announcer.
Setting up your Blog
You can easily set up a free blog either with Wordpress or Blogger, depending on your needs for functionality. You need a blog versus a regular html page because of the built in RSS feed. If you don't like blogs, you can set up a CMS site as long as it has an RSS feed built in. You should post to your blog on an average of at least three days. You can also automate this task but more on that in a bit.
Setting up your autoresponder
Your autoresponder is the coup de-grace of this plan because you can set it up with as many messages as you choose to send to your list and with a good autoresponder service like Aweber, you can include your blogs RSS feed to send your posts to your list when they are made.
The last recommended thing to do to further automate your autoresponder and blog posts sent to your list is to write advance blog posts and time stamp them for future posting dates.
There you have it! A simple yet effective way to grow your list through autoresponders and squeeze pages and an even simpler method of delivering your messages and blog content to the list you will be growing.
