For people who have been around a while doing any internet marketing understands this secret. This is the ONE thing that every marketer needs to be doing if they want to truly succeed in their business. What is it? What is this super not-so-secret secret?
List-building.
Getting people to give you their email information so you can add them to your newsletter is one of the most crucial steps in converting traffic into actual money in your pocket. Having a list gives you the ability to literally pull traffic to any site you want at the push of the button.
So how do you start building a list?
As many of you know, I promote blogging as a core strategy for building your mlm business. Content marketing is hailed as the main strategy corporations are using to reach their target audience in 2013 and on. Content has always been king, it is just getting recognized more.
Knowing this, all you need to do is make sure you have plenty of options for your readers to subscribe to your newsletter. If your content is good, people will want to subscribe to learn more. Your job is making it as easy as possible for your reader to subscribe.
I personally recommend using pop-ups, in content opt-ins and the traditional opt-ins. The best service I have found for growing my list using this method is Hybrid Connect which you can check out here.
Ty,
What has been your experience about Google and pop-ups used for list building? I keep hearing that pop ups are against Google’s TOS.
Best,
Monica
Nope, pop-ups are not against Google’s TOS.
You have to have a list or you are out of business. Sooo…to blog or not to blog?
It all starts with the list. Sooo….to blog or not to blog?

Great advice!! If only more people understood this.
Hi Ty, I just started building my list for my mlm business and I wish I had started doing it a long time ago. I would have a large list by now.
Hey Ty, have you ever had anyone complain about your pop-ups? I find those things super annoying, but I’ve heard they work much better than in-post or sidebar opt-ins. Has that been your experience?
I wouldn’t have them if they were not effective. Try 400% more effective. = )
Thanks for all the great tips Ty, could you check my blog and give me an opinion? Am I on the right track? http://acnibo.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-beginning.html
I can tell you without even looking, it’s wrong track….Blogger/Blogspot is not the place to market your business…

Good info. Generating leads is essential and that is what all the top earners do! There are many ways to generate leads on autopilot. Blogging is a great way to generate leads, I like to do video marketing, and I know many other people that have success on facebook. The options are almost endless!
For many years I've been hesitant to begin blogging, I finally realized that it's not really an option for the serious MLM'r I've started and I wish I would have started sooner. For those sitting on the fence I would encourage you to start, it's so easy these days.
Ty, Thanks for this information. It will really help.
This is so true! List building is so essential for success in any MLM or marketing business.
