Do you want to make money online? If you do then an essential thing you need to have is a list. Without a list, it will be difficult for you to make money online.

Why is it important to have a list? Because most people won’t buy a product or service at the first opportunity. Instead, they will need to think before deciding whether they will buy something or not.

Furthermore, most people won’t buy from a stranger. I’m sure you have similar experience yourself: most likely you prefer to buy from someone you trust rather than from a stranger.

For that reason, having a list is essential. By having a list, the door is open for you to build deeper relationships with the people who come to your site. That way their trust on you will grow over time.

Trust is what you need to successfully make money online. If you have the trust of someone, the chance that he or she will buy from you is much higher.

To build your list, what you can do is asking people who come to your site to join your e-mail list.

A good way to do that is by asking people to subscribe to your newsletter. To do so, they should give their email addresses and names to you. Of course, you should offer a newsletter that is useful for them.

But while offering a newsletter is good, you should do more than that to succeed. Remember, you are competing against so many other offers on the Internet. To succeed you should give your visitors a benefit they can feel right away.

One way to do that is by offering your visitors a free report if they sign up. Obviously, the report should address their needs and solve their problems.

There are still other ways. You can offer them a free course that will be delivered via email. Or you can give them the opportunity to download a software tool that addresses a problem they have.

Once your prospect is in your list, you will have the chance to gain their trust. And since you maintain contact with them, you have many opportunities to earn money by selling your products and services.
