Okay, so you’ve finally made your decision. You’re either choosing to be a “Extra Money Marketer” or a “Big Time Biz Marketer”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about see the post at

Once you’ve made that decision though, you’ve got to know what the next step is, right?

No matter what your decision, you’ve got to make a plan to carry out your decision, and the first part of your plan is to start building a list. Many see this as a very hard task to overcome.

What you need to realize is that without a list, you’re not going to make a dime. Yes, there are other promotional tactics you can use to drive traffic. By why not use those to build your list.

With a list, you have a group of people that you can mail over and over again. Instead of just getting one sales one time because you can’t contact that person again, why not put your efforts into building a list where you can turn those people into lifetime buyers that buy from you over and over again.

This is known as leverage…

By building a list, you are leveraging your efforts and allowing yourself to make more money easier.

That’s what having an online business is about.

Working less and making more!

So after you’ve made your decision, it’s time for you to start building a list.

If you’re taking the “Big Time Biz Marketer” route, it’s time for you to do some market research and decide which niche you’re going to dominate. Once you do that, setup a squeeze page and start driving traffic to it, to at least start building a list of some kind.

If you’re taking the “Extra Money Marketer” route, you need to do the same thing. Decide which niche you want to start making money in, setup a squeeze page and start driving traffic.

Do you realize that as an “Extra Money Marketer”, if you setup a squeeze page, load your autoresponder with a few messages promoting products related to that niche, that you could make a few to several hundred dollars a month just by driving a bit of traffic to that one squeeze page. Do this in 3-5 niches, and you’re making extra money.

As a “Big Time Biz Marketer” the benefits are endless..

You setup your squeeze page in your chosen niche. You get a list going, you promote affiliate products to that list, and start seeing some income. Then you create your own product. You mail that product to your list and you make money. Then since you have a list, you can contact joint venture partners and use your list as leverage in getting them to promote for you.

They then promote for you getting you sales, and building your list bigger.

Then go back to this bigger list, and tell them you have an affiliate program. You then start building a force of affiliates.

They in turn bring you more sales, build your list bigger, open up the door for more opportunities for JV partners, and get your more affiliates.

It’s really a snow ball effect….

By getting that squeeze page up and starting to build your list, you’re getting the ball rolling, and it will just keep going faster and getting bigger, but it all starts with a list!

This is where it all begins. You’ve made your decision, and now it’s action time.

If you don’t take action, it’s no one’s fault but your own if you don’t succeed!
