If you want to have a successful Internet business or any business, their are lots of tasks and responsibilities that need to be done to achieve your goals. Of all the things you do... what do you think would be your most important task? Well... in my opinion that would be building an opt in email list. There's is nothing more important to ensure long-term success and really have the ability to maximize your earning potential while at the same time reducing the amount of work time. Ask anybody that is doing this successfully and I'm sure they will readily agree.

So you've decided that's what you are going to do to, so you do your home work and learn every technique about building an opt in email list that you can think of doing. After all the effort, you still find yourself scratching your head, because maybe you built a list, but you're not making any money from that list.

Frustrated, you might even be losing money because of the expenses to build the list, maintain it and any other cost associated with building an opt in email list.

You think over and over... 'they say the money is in the list', but it might only be for the chosen few who are building an opt in email list. They must knows something you don't because of your total failure to even profit from your list. So you just say forget it and go on to the next big thing that's supposed to be making people a bundle of cash on the Internet

Please.....don't give up on it cause there's hope. It might seem to you like an impossibility, but having and building a targeted email list is a crucial part of your business success. Just roll up your sleeves and really learn how to do it and do it right. If you're persistent, you will be able to do it and you'll be really glad you did.

I know there's probably resistance in wanting to go ahead and start building an opt in email list. I'm sure you are probably already a little stressed with all the factors involved with really making it work the way that you want it to work. There's tons of information on this subject, some being great and some down right horrible. Regardless of the info you need to have a certain approach to list building to really make it work. I really feel all the techniques in the world are going to do you nothing unless you approach list building with these things in mind.

What I'm starting to talk about is really the foundation for building an opt in email list. We can call it a mindset or the attitude you have when actively building and monetizing your list. There are 3 foundational mindsets that you need to have to really make a go at building targeted email list.

1-It really quality-not quantity.

It might take more effort and thought to methodically attract and add quality subscribers to your list, but it is worth every ounce of sweat to building an opt in email list that's responsive. Have the mindset of only attracting quality. You may have a smaller list, but even a small highly responsive list will outperform a much larger low quality list any day of the week.

But again it's going to take more work in building an opt in email list that's effective and profitable. This article isn't about the how's as much as the mindset or thinking that you use to approach your list. Again if you stick with the proper mindset you will have success.

2-Another mindset is having the approach that you have only ONE person on your list. When building an opt in email list many marketers talk to their list broadcasting to them like a news anchor giving the evening news on TV. Please....Don't do it!

Just be personable and when you are writing an email you are writing it for just one person. You want them to feel that you are there for them (of course you should be) and you really want to help them. They are on your list for your expertise and help you can provide them. Never give the impression that you are too big and important for your prospects.

Keep this in mind and implement it and you will have loyal responsive subscribers that will trust you and want to respond to what you have to offer.

3-Learn to build for that one perfect prospect and use that system over and over. What I mean by this is to build the squeeze pages, landing pages, marketing and advertising to attract the most targeted prospect. When you have perfected this process, keep doing it over and over.

Do you know who Ray Crock is? He's the founder of McDonalds. What a master at applying this mindset. He built and tweaked his restaurant till he was maximizing the profits he was earning. And when he had a winning system, he multiplied the winning concept over and over in the form of franchises.

So just putting together an opt in form and some crappy report to pull prospects from anywhere you can get them, might not be the best idea for the long run. Take the time to learn, create and implement a system that attracts hight quality prospects. Then when building an opt in email list you can do it over and over producing a quality list.

Some concluding thoughts. Building an opt in email list is created with one person at a time. It's best to focus on the one and do that with everyone on your list. Don't act like your a huge business. You might well be big and successful, but don't act so big that your prospects can't connect with you. You need to always be personable and approachable.
