Does this scenario sound familiar to you?

You read countless articles, seek endless expert advice and hear numerous success stories of people building massive wealth on the Internet with opt-in lists, and you finally decide to have one of your own. You think you know everything there is to know about opt-in lists and follow all the advice to the Tee. Yet you still haven't made a dime.

In fact, you're losing money. Fast. Being rather lazy, you hired writers to help out with your articles, and when that didn't work your month's budget on a doomed Pay-Per-Click campaign. Perhaps your list even got quite big. But only a tiny percentage actually converts to sales.

Either way, you've failed to make any profit, and after a few months' daily scrutiny of your statistics and sales figures, you come to the conclusion that your dreams of Internet wealthbuilding lie in ruins.

You wonder what wrong. Why have others succeeded where you have failed? Perhaps you were too hasty, diving straight in like that. Maybe the product is rubbish, after all. Or maybe it's you - you're just not cut out for this...

Have similar thoughts ever crossed your mind?

Take heart, however - just because you emailed people on your list does not mean they'll buy instantly. Patience is the key!

If you've already started an opt-in list and think you failed, or even if you're just starting out, here are three quick and easy steps that you should try and follow:

1) Make sure your product or service is one that people really need.

And learn all about your product. Many people forget this vital element of their affiliate business. Do they really think their subscribers are going to buy something they haven't bothered to learn about themselves? Not very likely. Your knowledge and belief about your product, or lack of it, is transferred onto your customers. Time spent researching your product thoroughly is time spent wisely.

2) Join lots of forums. There your expert advice and recommendations will build you an aura of trust . You can build a base around other forum users, inviting them to join your opt-in list. They will become your friends, and friends make good customers. Remember to place a link to your site on your posts - it will enable them to see what your business is all about. If you mean what you say, they'll begin to believe in you and your products. You can increase your credibility further as well as building more potential subscribers and customers by writing and submitting articles and posting blogs .

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users (forums are an invaluable tool here, too). Let them mentor you - someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do, They can steer you clear of potential pitfalls and mistakes to avoid, because they have gone through it themselves. Experience is the best teacher, and there is nothing better than learning from the mistakes of others!

Building a profitable opt-in list takes great preparation and effort. It won't happen overnight! Opt-in lists have to be built from scratch and, once built, take some maintenance. Remember to keep it organized and manageable. But use it to Keep your subscribers happy and they'll be willing to buy from you time and time again. Building your list, is the way to build Internet wealth!
