Now, for those of you that are new Internet marketing and don't know what a 'Opt-In' list is, here's a quick definition:
An 'Opt-In' list is simply a database of peoples Names and Email Addresses that have subscribed to an email list via a web form giving that list owner permission to send them periodic emails on the topic they are interested in.
This is very important that You understand this from the beginning.
So, now that you have a clear idea in your mind of what an Opt-In list is and how it will benefit You and your business, I guess it's time to share with you the simple 'Ten Step Process' that I have put together for you on How-To build your own targeted Opt-In list that you can email your offers to at any given time for $Profit$.
Step #1. Pick your Target market or Niche.
This is a very important step because this is where you need to figure out who your target market is going to be for the Product or Service your going to offer.
So, for example, if I was interested in selling a book related to Internet Marketing, well then, my target market would be Internet Marketing related.
Step #2. Can your Target market or Niche be reach online?
This step is where you need to do a little research on whether or not your particular target market can be reached online.
In order to do this you need to do some keyword research using keywords related to your target market.
Simply type in the keywords related to your target market in the form provided.
This will give you a detailed history of how many searches have been made in the last 30 days on the keywords related to your target market.
As a general rule, if your targeted keywords aren't pulling in 15,000 or more searches per month, then this is a market I wouldn't pursue simply because there isn't much demand for it.
Step #3. Are they making money in this Niche?
This is where you need to do some research on your competition to see if people are spending any money in this Niche. This will give you a list of search results.
Those results are your competition, but even more important, to the right you'll notice little ads. For more information logon to www.37-list-building-secrets.com.

This means that somebody is willing to pay to advertise and is paying attention to this particular Niche and must be making money if they're willing to pay for advertising.

Step #5. What's keeping them from getting what they want?
This is where you have to figure out what’s keeping them from getting what they want in order to fix the problems they are dealing with, meaning, this is where you need to work with them to find a solution to there problems.
Whether its a Product they need or a Service of some sort.
Step #6. What can you offer them to solve there problems?
This is where the money is being spent.
Now, the only thing you need in order to receive your share of the revenue is a Product or Service that will solve your potential customers problem.
