The old saying is that the money is in the list. Well, the money is actually in a good list. Trust me on this, there are plenty of lists that aren't worth their weight in spam. So if you want to build a list that will actually be responsive, you have to walk a very fine line between a number of areas. This article will cover some basic do's and don'ts that should improve the quality and size of your list greatly.

People don't join lists to be sold to. They join lists to get some relevant content to their business that will hopefully help them with building their business. This is where, again, you have to strike a balance between giving them too much content and not enough. Give them too much and they have no reason to purchase any of your products, though they might hang around for a long time. Don't give them enough content and they'll unsubscribe faster than you can blink. If you're going to email your list three times a week, it's best to give them pure content in at least two of every three mailings.
