You are absolulely right about list building. It leverages every other monetization strategy known to blogdom.

The two obstacles to building a profitable list are:

1. How (the mechanics)
2. What to say in the capture, optin, and follow up emails.

I'm giving away my new ebook: "How to Monetize Your Blog" at http://1Cat.biz - which covers A-Z how to create your list.

You'll also find a great resource there called "The Psychology of Email Marketing."

Thanks Jack - another 10!

Yea, #4 my block. If I could just acquire enough “understanding” and at least complete the niche research in #3 to move to #5. That would be good. Nice list Jack.

I see where you are coming from Trump, but it depends on your business model. I know people that build hundreds of “portal” websites on disposable domains, that “spam” search engines on keyphrases, and then hammer the bookmarking sites. They tend to be short lived as Google eventually delists them and their bookmarking accounts get closed. But hey! Its a business of sorts. I’m not condoning it, but some people have lower expectations of what they want from their individual websites, happy to earn a few dollars and cents from adsense, and not do have to do much to achieve it. With Jack’s advise though, its possible to aim for the stars, and build an authoritative website thats taken seriously in your chosen niche. -Paul

Good points Trump. Do you ever write articles that you submit to article directories like EzineArticles and post on your blog? Or do you keep article directory articles and articles you put on your blog completely separate?

I always go back and forth on this as to whether or not it hurts me with the search engines. I’ve never seen any concrete proof in either direction.

Another great idea would be to STAY AWAY from private labeled articles, pre-written articles, and anything that you didn’t write from ever showing up on your blog. They are poisonous to blogs. If you run a blog and find yourself thinking about cheating and using someone elses article, get the mouse out of your reach and immediately find someone else to co-author for your blog. Share the load before you kill it.

Gregg,

Great post! You raise some very good points. I really agree with you on going it alone and lacking a plan.
