So what is building your marketplace you ask? On a very basic level it is about building your email list. But it’s not about how to get a billion people on your list but rather attracting the right type of people for your business. I highly recommend reading Huge Profits With A Tiny List. This is part of a series on building your marketplace. Read the second step of building your marketplace which is about finding out what you have to offer those you attract. Now that you know what you can do to help those who you attract. The next step is to set a system to gather those people you want to attract and provide them the solution they are looking for.

Step 3 – Setting Up A System

Creating systems to help you in your business is definitely working smarter! Here are a few things you need: 1. Bait. Some useful information you can give away free or low cost. 2. Autoresponder. I use and recommend AWeber. 3. Follow up messages. Be sure to have a series of messages ready to go out over the course a few weeks, months. Once you start gathering together the people who you want to attract in your business (and onto your list) then you can start finding out what problems they are having. You can do this by sending out an email that asks them what they need help with. Or you can send them to a survey (SurveyMonkey). Of course, then you can create a product that solves their problem. Keep things simple and you will succeed. That’s step 1, step 2, and step 3 are short and to the point. When you keep things simple you will see more results! If you haven’t starting building your marketplace what is holding you back???
