The List Profit System – Definitions – Promote Your List

Last time around, in List Profit System – Intro, we told you what the acronym, PROFIT, stood for.

P – PROMOTE your list
R – REWARD the optin
O – OFFER a proposal
F – FIXATE attention
I – INITIATE a response
T – THWART the filters

P – PROMOTE your list.

First things first, you need to get people to your site so they can join your list and give you permission to begin mailing to them. Obviously, it provides no value to you if you have a great list in place and no one knows about it.

So, in our next lesson I'm going to give you one of the BEST ways to drive traffic to your opt-in page as we look at "P – PROMOTE your list" in greater detail.

For now, I want to instill {++++}in you the great necessity of putting list-building at the forefront of every business action you complete online from this day forth. Seriously, there is nothing you will do that is of more benefit to you than getting people to join your list. Because of the great significance of building your list, it is important that your every move be towards ushering more people to your opt-in page.

And I mean, in EVERYTHING.

Write this following sentence down on a post-it note and put it in a spot very near your computer:

Everything you do must work towards list building.

Listen to me carefully: when you hear or think or see the word "traffic" from this point on you think of directing that traffic to your opt-in page as your primary course of action. End of discussion.

• Don't promote that affiliate link until AFTER you've gotten them on a list!

• Don't sign off your post at a forum with a link to a sales page. Point it to your opt-in page!

• Don't buy advertisements to promote a product or a service or an offer – use ads to build your list!

The important thing that I want to stress is this: everything you do must work towards building a list. You have to have that mindset as you are growing your business. Ask yourself the question "How can I use what I am doing right now to add more contacts to one of my lists."

Promote your list. That's objective number one. Always. That doesn't change. Ever. Got it?
