Are you an affiliate marketer? Most people who first get online tend to do affiliate marketing.
The attractions are many.
Free website, no customer queries to deal with and so on.
all you have to do is to send traffic to the affiliate merchants site, people make a purchase and you get a commission.
If only it was that easy! It goes without saying that if you are to really succeed at affiliate marketing then you will have to do more than just send people to an affiliate website and collect commissions.
You simply must consider building your own email mailing list of subscribers.
Building your own email mailing list of prospects who want to buy what you are promoting is by far one of the best investments you can make online.
It can be said that most of the affiliate marketers - about 95 per cent of them are not making money online.
These are sadly the ones that also do not have a subscriber list.
Without a list of subscribers most of their efforts are doomed to be ineffective.
The big deal about having a list of subscribers is that you can 'warm' them up by building a relationship with them before you present them with your offer.
Actually before you even send them anything you would already have the knowledge that it is what they have asked for, that way you will be selling to a market already ready to buy.
You really cannot go far wrong selling what people have already indicated they want to buy.
It would actually be a marketing crime not to sell to them what they have asked for.
Having your own email mailing list of subscribers will help you build a relationship with your subscribers and at some point in the relationship you will be in that most talked about position of sending one or two emails to your list and getting a huge response that swells your bank account.
That's what you are online for is it not? Affiliate marketing success is easier when you use an email subscriber list.
It is a very effective marketing strategy, one you should use if you really want to succed at affiliate marketing and get ahead of the pack.
