“List building is everything!”, or “the money is the list”, your fortune is in the follow-up”. You have heard it all before but do you really understand exactly what list building is and why is important to your future?

What is List Building?
In its simplest form, list building a two step process: the one step is the act of “capturing” a potential customer’s name and email address and the second step is to use that information to create a relationship with that person.
For more details go to: www.confessions-followup-marketing.com Notice I said “create a relationship” not to sell. I’ll get back to that in a minute.

You want to use your list building process to collect the names and email addresses of as many people who have shown an interest in you and your business as possible. Basically you want to put a list building link (subscription form or something like it) in front of as many visitors as you possibly can. Put subscription forms or a link to a subscription page on every page on your website.

List Building and Relationships
Old time sales guys love the saying, “Nobody likes being sold, but most everyone likes to buy.” And this is true for the most part. People have become very immune to hard sells and fast ball pitches. They don’t like being pressured and will put up a lot of resistance to the idea of being “sold” something.

Now on the other hand, almost everyone loves to buy things, myself included. If you look at the national consumer debt figures, spending money is not most people’s problem. They want to buy things that remove pain, increase pleasure or make their lives a little bit better and they want to enjoy themselves while doing it! That’s why shopping with friends is so much fun!

That is what you want to happen with your list. You should think of your list as a community of like minded people looking to “buy” things to solve their problems or make their lives more pleasant (like a virtual shopping center). And they want to buy those things with the input of their trusted friend and advisor, “YOU”.

List Building for the Long Term
List building should be renamed relationship building. People like to buy things from people they know, like and trust. For can visit to: www.craigs-list-profits.com you want to create an environment of trust for your list members. Trust is the cornerstone of all business interactions. No one is buying anything if they feel they are going to lose money or be tricked. So creating trust is vital to the welling being for long term list building.

So how do you create trust? Just like in face-to-face interactions; be honest and be yourself. Being honest is simple; don’t lie to people to get them to do something. They will find out, get angry and they will go away…and bad mouth you in every email and forum they can find. Let folks know who you are and what your business stands for.

List building is one of the most important elements of any online business and now that you understand why it so vital, you should be ready to start work on list building on your own.

Blogging is very popular these days for a lot of different reasons. It’s fun to be able to write about something, or share information with people from all over the world. A blog on a topic that has a large number of interested readers has the potential to generate some extra income for you (If you know how to monetize these visitors). A very popular method for generating some money from your blog is to use Google Adsense.

Use Adsense Ads On Your Blog

One of the most popular methods for making some extra income from your blog is to put “adsense” on it. Adsense is Google’s contextual advertising system, which allows you to position ads on your blog which are relevant to the content of your blog. When a visitor to your blog clicks on one of these adsense ads you get a portion of the income generated.

The amount you receive will depend on the keywords that you use on your blog, which Google uses to ensure that the adsense ad matches the blog’s content.

You first need to sign up for an adsense account ,which is free. Enter “set up an adsense account” into your favourite search engine, and follow the simple instructions for creating an account. It is a good idea to have your blog already up and running, with some good content in place, before signing up to Google’s adsense program.

Blend Them In

Once you have signed up, you will recieve your adsense account. This account will allow you to login, and you can then generate an adsense ad. When you generate the adsense ad, you choose the ad format (i.e. whether the ad will be a ‘header’ at the top of your blog, or a ‘footer’ at the bottom, or a ‘side-bar’ at the edge of your blog). Next you have to choose how your ad will look. Your adsense account gives you a lot of options for choosing the colour of the text, the background colour etc.

Once you have decided on the format of your ad, you then save this, and Google will give you an adsense block of html code that you then add to your blog.

It is highly recommended to try and match the text and colours you select in the adsense ad, to blend in with the ‘look and feel’ of your blog. The reason for this is you don’t want your adsense ads on your blog to look like ads – if you spend some time choosing the colour and format of your adsense blocks you should be able to blend them into your blog, making them look less like ads, and increasing the likelihood of your readers clicking on them.

Adsense And Blogger

The method that you use for adding the adsense ads to your blog will depend on the type of blog you have:

If you are using Blogger for your blog, then adding the adsense blocks to your blog is super simple.

You just login to your blogger account, and click on the ‘add a page element’ link, where you want your adsense ad to be located. Next a window will be displayed ‘choose a new page element’ – you simply select the ‘Adsense’ option and then click on the ‘add to blog’ button. You then choose the size and formatting for your adsense ad, and click on ‘save changes’.

You should now see a adsense page element on your blog. There is a limit to the type and number of adsense ads you can add to a blog (make sure you read the Adsense terms of service, to ensure that you do not exceed this limit)

Adsense And WordPress

If you are using WordPress for your blog, then there are a number of different ways to add the adsense code. You can download a free adsense plugin, that allows you to add the adsense ad to your blog.

Alternatively, just use this simple method:

Log into your Google adsense account and generate the adsense ad (ensure you match the ad text and colours, so it will blend in with your blog). After you have done this your adsense account will generate the html code for the ad (which you will need to insert into your WordPress blog).

To add this code to your WordPress blog:

Login to your WordPress blog as administrator. Click on appearance. Select Widgets. Select the sidebar, header or footer where you would like the adsense ad to appear. Click add text widget. Click on edit widget. Enter a caption (something of your own choice). Paste your google adsense code (that you generated in your google adsense account) into the text area. Click done, and save changes.

You should now be able to see ads from Google appearing in the adsense block where you added the code (i.e. the header, footer or sidebar)

Wait For Acceptance

Although adsense ads will start appearing on your blog, these will initially be public service ads that do not pay any revenue when clicked. You have to wait for your Google adsense application to be approved before Google will start serving up contextual ads in the adsense blocks on your blog, which will generate revenue for you when clicked on. This is why it is important to have set up your blog and have some good content in place before applying for a Google adsense account.
