Who else is aiming to build a big list in anytime? If you are reading this now, I am going to guess you are attempting to take your online business to a higher level this year, right I have good news and bad news if this is you...

The good news is, if you focus on building a list, and good relationships and rapport with your subscribers, there is truly no better way to exponentially raise your online business, or your brand, than this.

The bad news is, the overwhelming majority of folks reading this will not take action, or will just think they will start some other place - social networking, affiliate marketing weblogs, little AdSense sites, or what you name it. Most folks believe that is the approach of building a real online business, and sadly they can be dead wrong.

The only possible way to be independently successful internet marketer with no big investment is to develop a list. And if you think that I am over-stressing this one aim, believe me - I am not. I have attempted just about every method under the sun... also it was not until I got my initial subscribers did my a-ha moment really start.

The fastest technique to develop a large list without the expenditure? Writing articles... plain and easy. Such as this one. They are not elegant. And they are not attractive. And individually... they are not making you rich. But I name it the approach of Straight Lines... and if you utilize it, it works as well for you, because it does for me, and a large number of other internet marketers.

In a nutshell? You may need content, a community building application which an optin form is best for newbies, a continuous discussion and a curriculum to provide people who have bonded with you to the purpose of being willing to take their learning to a higher level.

I challenge you to take action yourself... and not wait a year, or six months or even a week to start. The sooner you begin, the quicker you will make your subscribers turn into a sale, and there is no better feeling than that!
