I found a blog post that will help you understand a little more.

We talking about email marketing.

Let’s face it, without an e-mail marketing list, you are reducing the potential you have for driving traffic, building your brand and increase your profits. This is one of the biggest mistakes I made when I first started out; I didn’t realize the true value of a list and didn’t have list building techniques in place from day one.

There are literally hundred of different ways you can build your list up. However, recently I have personally implemented these 5 techniques and have found to generate outstanding results.

Email marketing is a form of direct marketing which uses electronic mail as a means of communicating commercial or fund-raising messages to an audience. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing. However, the term is usually used to refer to:

No worries. Sometimes people use different names for certain marketing stuff and it just doesn't hit us till a few minutes later. I've asked a similiar question before on another forum then remember what it was 10 minutes later. lol

When i had a forum a few years ago, i did get a lot of signups to programs i promoted when i did a mass email to the forum members 3 times a month. The hardest part about sending out the emails is making the email not sound to spammy to where it will upset your subscriber.

Here is my 2 cents:
The quality of the list comes first It is better for someone to increase his/her list slowly without rush movements.

[VivekGoel]

List building is fundamental to success in online marketing efforts. Sending traffic directly to a sales page does not work these days.
and as is known...we need to offer some valuable free gift for the visitors to sign up to our list.

I read somewhere that - Our Attitude to building a mailing list determines the SUCCESS of our mailing list.

Its true. Having a list is very important for marketing. But must not be in rush to mail at a time with lot of content.

[Robert Thomas]

Building a list is important, specially for re-orders. But as mentioned several times in the thread the mailing content need not be too much or stuffed with unwanted material.

I tried before building a list by offering people the invite to Google+ while it is still not open to public yet. It wasn't really a good idea. The users inside the list just want to have a Google+ account, but not anything within my niche. As a result, when I tried sending out a few newsletter, only 30% of them actually opened the newsletter and read. It is disappointing and here I tell everyone is to let you all know that it is important to have a proper strategy to build your list.

[Tsotso]

30% is not so bad
The idea of motives is a good one (keeping notes )!

There is no better tool for marketing online than a large, well targeted email list. I once knew a guy that deleted 200k highly targeted emails because he "needed to make room on my hard drive". I told him that he could have bought thousands of hard drives with what he would make off that list.

[InItForTheMoney]

If you can build a quality specifically targeted list you could never go wrong! List building is key when directed at the right NICHE

[KRex]

I agree, building List is a crucial part of affiliate marketing. I believe it to be one of the reason why I failed with affiliate marketing and finaly quit. I didn’t know it importance and also how to efficiently build one and use it at that time.

What do you all think about listbuilders? That's why I do like freeadboards because they also allow you to build lists. The textad link boards do.

[talentsifter]

In order to allow people to submit their emails,

You have to have traffic in the first place lol. That is where the noobies like myself need the most help!!

I need professional guidance and not all these "become viral overnight" schemes you find when you google search how to get traffic.

[wanzulfikri]

List building is really the best thing for newbie affiliates. The thing they should learn next is how to convert the list.

[ninjaseo]

Most important thing IMO is you need to build trust ., when your visitors trust information you are Providing them you can sell anything
