Learn List Building - Why a List is More Valuable Than a Web Site
If your web site promotes some hot new product, once the demand has subsided you still have your list and you can continue to market to that list when other new products come along. If, for some reason, you lose your web hosting account, you can switch to another and you'll still have your list.

Here's the critical viral element though ... make your free report "rebrandable".

Allowing your subscriber to rebrand your report gives them a great incentive to pass it on to others.

Well basically, when you allow your subscribers to rebrand your report, you're allowing them to change some of the url links in the report to their own affiliate links. This encourages your subscriber to give your report away to others because it will be your subscriber who then gets paid an affiliate commission from the sales your report generates!

Ok, so you lose affiliate commissions, but thats a small price to pay for the additional longer term subscribers your getting, subscribers you wouldn't be getting had your report not been distributed for you.

To make rebrandable reports successful in terms of exploding your list, you "must" leave the reader of the report with a compelling need to visit your site in search of further information. Your report therefore must include a link to a squeeze page on your site where your reader can access some critical information or valuable free gift.

If you fail to include this compelling reason to visit your site, you'll lose the viral benefits because your report will be passed on to many people, but they won't come back to your site and join your list!

Here are 5 very compelling advantages you will enjoy when you build a list of people who have already shown an interest in what you do or promote.

List building isn't just for staring at though. It's an accomplishment in a world where few people want to share information with a new website, but it isn't the end of the building process.
