One of my subscribers wanted advice on how to start building an online business. I love it when you email me and ask for help.
When you first come online you see so many distractions and shiny objects. You become overwhelmed and lost instantly. It even happens with those who working online for years. A lot of products, opportunities, hypes stop you from understanding how to build your business and earn a reliable income.
It is easy to start chasing for everything. Jumping from one program to another, buying low-quality traffic, courses, systems, apps that declare to make you rich overnight. To make an analogy, it sounds like "Just buy this book. You even don't need to read it, just buy, and it will make you a millionaire".
Obviously, this crap doesn't earn you income. Instead, you are wasting your time and money without success. It cannot last long, and it is easy to fail online if you don't have the right strategy which is driving your actions.
I can advise the strategy that works for me for years:
"BUILD A RESPONSIVE EMAIL LIST"
Building and growing your audience is the foundation of everything else. It is the most important thing, you can focus on as a beginning affiliate or network marketer.
Your primary goal must be building an audience of people who know, like, and trust you.
Do not switch to something else before you have at least 1,000 people that you can email. Always keep in mind your goal, and if you see a new shiny object that captures your attention just ask yourself "Does it help me get 1,000 subscribers?".
Sounds good?
Well, I want you to understand something before you start.
Email lists are not built overnight. They have grown 1 subscriber at a time, over months or years.
However, it is not rocket science and you need only two things to build a responsive list.
In the next email, I will tell you what these things are.
