A very large majority of people that enter the world of Internet Marketing fail; I will share with you the main reason behind this and how you can avoid failure by building a list you can sell to.

So first of all let’s start with why so many people fail…well it’s because they pursue people like crazy! They are new to the internet marketing industry and are so desperate to make their first sale they put people off from joining their business or buying their product with their over enthusiasm and non stop selling tactics!

By only going on about your product and how good it is you will come across as a desperate salesman. This makes you look unprofessional and it will put people off from wanting to hear any more from you. You build a list by giving people a reason to hear more from yourself; this is not done by shouting about how good your product is.

So about now you’re probably wandering how do you do from a desperate broke person to a person that attracts leads and has people calling you up without having to chase anybody….well here you go:

First of all forget the idea of chasing people or targeting people because you need their money; even if you are broke do not let it show!

This is done by branding yourself as a leader within your market by giving valuable information relating to your market, this comes in the form of articles, blog posts, videos etc. You do not have to of been involved with your market for years to have valuable knowledge that can help somebody who has no experience.

Therefore you can gain status and become a leader by teaching people about your market. Think about it, if a guy has done a video about a niche in internet marketing what would you think of that person? You will look up to him because he’s done a video on internet marketing so he must be a pro, you will want to hear more from this guy as he know his stuff and can help you out.

This is branding yourself, not your product and will lead to people wanting to know more about you. They will be willing to give you their details (email address) in order to hear more and this is exactly how list building is done! This might seem glaringly obvious but SO many Internet Marketers do not do this, just go and look on Facebook at all of them that post spammish message with links to their sites; I bet you hardly anyone at all clicks on their links.

Why? Well it’s human nature for everybody who isn’t a leader to want to follow one to gain status and for support. Because I joined my mentor’s team I became associated with him and learned more and grew in the industry. I have now become a leader in internet marketing and have a vast amount of knowledge in the subject, without a mentor it would have taken a LOT longer to accomplish this.

Give people valuable information, deliver it with confidence, give yourself value and people will really want to hear more from you! They will join your list and this is how you become a success online, this is tip that so many supposed mentors do not share! I hope now knowing this that you action it and become a leader!
