When starting to build a list, it is very important to decide on your method of delivery.  Either you want to have every email address on your hard drive and use a program like Group Mail or Guerrilla Mailer to send your emails out from your desktop. Unfortunately, these can get you into trouble with your ISP if you get many spam complaints.

I prefer using an autoresponder system like aweber, because they ensure deliverability, without your having to stay connected to the Internet the whole time you are sending email.  With today’s broadband solutions, that is less of an issue than it was a few years ago.  But the deliverability of email is very important, because once your email address or your home IP address becomes blacklisted by SpamCop, you can forget about your emails going through normal channels.  Aweber spends a lot of time getting in contact with hundreds of ISP’s and email providers to let them know that people opted in to the emails that you are sending.  It would take you a seriously long  time to do this on your own..  Especially once your list grows to multiple thousands.

Another autoresponder I have been using with some success is the autoresponder I got with my hosting package at Hosting For Profit. They include the autoresponder with their titanium hosting package because they know that business owners need to develop a database of customers and a way to stay in touch with them. Hosting For Profit bundles an amazing array of business tools for any online marketer for a single low monthly price. To see the price of the Titanium Membership (reseller hosting account with 70GB of space and 200GB of monthly bandwidth), just go to http://hostingforprofit.com

If you are just starting out, you may not even have $20 a month to spare. So Hosting For Profit has put together a $10 a month starter package! They know that once you get started building your list and making some sales, you will want to upgrade your account to the Titanium. So they set you up with the same tools, but for a lower starting price of less than $10 per month. Check them out at http://hostingforprofit.com/ten/

My next list building tip will cover how to get people on your list once you have chosen your list mailing method.  Stay tuned.

Have an amazing day!
