List Building-Set Your Mind or Give Up Right Now

Think about this: Energy is leverageable. Money is energy. Energy can be focused, transformed, and moved around. Wealthy people, people who make tons of money, are usually those who can manipulate energy to their needs.

You will need to bend energy to your will, if you want to make marketing work for you. You'll need to use time, energy, and effort toward list building, to build squeeze pages that will entice and attract people onto your list.

If you want to build a great list, a huge list, build the list building page first. Do a great job of that, and use as much energy as it takes to do it right. If you do that, and drive traffic to your list building page, your list will grow.

If you don't know HTML and think that you just can't handle it, I recommend that you get the trial version of Dreamweaver and read the tutorials. They'll have you building pages in no time.

But if you're hopeless with this technical stuff, find someone else to do it and pay them. If you aren't willing or don't have the time to use your energy to learn how to do things and you can't afford to pay people, don't try to make money with marketing at all. You have to have a very high level of commitment to succeed.

First, commit to list building. Commit to learning how to do things. If you want to work online, you have to have at lest rudimentary knowledge. Schedule it in! Make sure that you spend half your time learning and half of it in implementation. It's impossible to just jump into Internet marketing and think you'll make a million dollars overnight, without training or the proper business mindset, you're dreaming.

Learn all about list building and get that started first. The rest will follow.
