I really do. It’s old. It’s clunky. It’s so 2002…

Here’s a fun little fact though, if you were to ask any online marketer what their number one asset was in business, I could guarantee you they would say…Their email list!

Here are 7 reasons why you need to be building your email list…Today!

1. The List Is Your Business – And the business is your list. I remember years ago when I was talking to my accountant about setting up our business together, the first thing he asked me for was…My email list!

5. New Opportunities Pop Up – We have built huge email lists over the years and it’s directly resulted in fantastic opportunities to get involved in exclusive JV contests, program launches, increased commission rates and so much more. The bigger your list becomes, the more opportunities will start to arise.

Here’s a metric that people can’t argue but gives you a really good indication of the value you are putting out to the market. If your subscriber count is going up, you know you are doing something good. If it’s stagnant, maybe it’s time to revisit your marketing plans…
