Build Your List and Create Your Community
In a recent post my colleague, Lynn Brown of LearnIt2EarnitWithLynn.com made some excellent points on building a list, including offering your subscribers something of value; follow-up with them on a regular basis; and build a relationship with the persons on your list.
From the foregoing it's clear that as entrepreneurs and small business owners it's important that you include building your list as part of your marketing strategies.
You are encouraged to have a Marketing Plan which includes blogging, audio blogging, article marketing, video marketing, teleseminars, etc. You implement these strategies so that more people will know what your marketing message is and get to know you. They will then want to join your list and become one of your subscribers.
Once you start building your list around a particular topic, it will be made up of people who have, as it were, raised their hand to say that they are interested in what you have to offer. They also are saying that they want to get to know you and perhaps get to like and trust you.
In building a relationship with your subscribers you have the opportunity to create your community around a given topic.
Customer satisfaction has always been an important part of by own businesses, because my customers' response to any customer service that I engage in is how I measure my success in customer service.
