The First Steps to Building a Profitable List

If you want to be successful, you must do everything in your power to reach that goal. You can’t sit in front of your computer not knowing what to do, complaining about not getting the earnings you want. You must really work by investing enough time, money and effort if you expect results.

But how do you start?

You need to pick a niche first, and then delve into a profitable sub-niche. This can be done by first deciding which niche you want to build your business in. This could be something you’re passionate about, something you’re interested in, or something you want to learn more about. Don’t rule out a niche just because you don’t know anything about it, as you will learn as you research and build your business.

However, don’t choose a niche just because it’s profitable, as you’ll soon find it tedious to build a business around something you have no interest in. You will need to force yourself to create products, write articles, and market that business.

Next, go to the Google AdWords keyword tool to find a profitable sub-niche. Enter a budget of $10 per day. Choose the United States and Canada as your location.

Then enter your chosen niche as a keyword. Click the ‘More Like This’ button. Then notice what other keywords show up. These will be your sub-niches. Click the ‘More Like This’ button for even more keywords.

Look to see how popular each keyword is. Pick one that has at least 10,000 search results, as these will be niches that people will be interested in.

Once you know what sub-niche you want to build your business in, you’ll need to do more research to find out what problems people are currently experiencing and what they’re talking about.

Do this by joining forums in your niche and reading what people are talking about. Look at book titles on sites like Amazon and ClickBank. If someone has written a book on the topic, they’ve done their research and found that the topic is very likely to be profitable. Go to a couple of article directories and read some articles in your chosen niche.

Now create a lead magnet, also known as an ethical snippet, that you can give away at no cost to entice people to join your list. This lead magnet should tell someone what to do, but not how to do it. Your paid product will do that!

Set up a capture page with a compelling headline, a sentence or two as your introduction, a couple of bullet points that sit within your lead magnet, and a strong call to action.

Drive traffic to your capture page using free or paid methods.

Continuously break all text, including headline, bullets, colors, call-to-action button text, graphics, etc. to find out what works best.
