One of the most common questions asked by new online work from home marketers is "How do I use free reports to build my email list?" Free Reports are great in the fact they allow you to begin to pre-sell your future products. A good free report is full of high value content that begins building the foundation to everything your visitor wants in a niche market. Offering this free report in exchange for their name, phone number and email address will start a great business relationship.

This will be the first sale that you will make with most customers. This report should be hard hitting and putting an image of professionalism in the mind of your subscriber. The only price that your visitor has to pay is information. They do not have to open their wallet to get value. It will start building trust.

Having a viable online business requires you to have a strong active list of buyers. Without the list you are constantly searching for new buyers. Your list will allow you to market over and over many times to people who already trust you. One free report may generate you thousands of these leads.

Your free report should pick one simple phase of the niche market and give valuable solutions to just one problem or question that a large majority of you subscribers would search for. Stay focus on just the one question. The only time you can stray from this rule is when you are closing out the report and you can hint at one or two of the next reports that you will have available.

If you have produced a high quality report you may see the report go viral. If your subscribers see value in it they will pass this information on to others in this niche. Leveraging your followers' recommendations will create a good buzz about you as an expert in this field. You as a single entity cannot afford to get your opt-in box in front of nearly as many people as 100 of your biggest fans can. Word of mouth will spread fast about the quality of your work.

As people learn more about you they will use search engines to find out all of the work that you have available. They will find your landing pages and other reports and articles that you have online. The more clicks you have the faster your organic advertising will grow a huge email list.

May I wish you great experience and not great luck? Great experience will always determine the outcome of any luck that you may have.
