Every online Marketer’s goal should be to become successful. To become successful online the most important tool you need is a constant source of targeted traffic. That’s where the Opt-in Email List comes in.
An Opt-In Email List is Uganda Email List sa list of people who have opted in / gave you their email addresses in exchange for something, usually a free report or to request more information. These people have “asked you” to send them more information via email on a specific topic. This makes them targeted as they want more information, from you, on a specific topic.
This List acts a constant source of traffic for you. You must follow up with quality information on that specific topic to keep them wanting more from you. Then when you promote a product on the same topic that they want more information on they are most likely to buy from you as you have provided quality information to them and they still want more.

Now that you know why you need an Opt-in email list, I’m going to tell you How to Build an Opt-In Email List.
Step 1 – Choose a profitable Niche / Target Market
