Your Subscriber Base – Quality vs. Quantity

This is the age-old battle question that has been ongoing for as long as every Internet Marketer can remember.


Is it the size of your subscriber base or is it its quality that matters?


If you would ask me, I would say that both of the factors really matter just equally. Having a mailing list without either one of the criteria is not going to make you and your Internet Business profitable.


You may have a list of 100,000 subscribers but if hardly anyone of them even reads your endorsement letters let alone purchasing any product or service from you, you would be broke.


Or you may have a list of 100 subscribers but most of them are responsive to your offers and that they buy from you. However, you wish that the list could have been bigger with the same subscriber quality.


While you do not necessarily have to build your subscriber base in six figures, building a mailing list of your own with at least 1,000 to 30,000 subscribers, well harnessed and responsive, can spell profits for you.


Establishing Your Credibility and Building Relationship with Your Prospects


There is a big possibility that your subscribers do not know you.


If you are brand new to Internet Business, establishing your credibility should be one of your top priorities. People prefer to buy from someone they like and trust. Let that person be YOU!


Another school of thought says that people like people who are like themselves. I guess that is how the saying “birds of a feather flock together” came about.


I tend to agree with them especially when it comes to cultivating your own mailing list.


Injecting your personality into your E-mails and E-zine issues is a sure way of bridging yourself to your subscriber to share what you both have in common and that your subscriber knows that you really care for his needs.


More on building your relationship with your prospects later.
