You do not need a huge list in order to make money on the internet. It is always important to build your list, but it is not absolutely necessary to have a list of ten thousand or more names and emails to make six figures a year or more.

The most important thing is to have a responsive list, meaning that the people who are on your list are engaged with you and your niche topic. The idea is to keep them as interested over time as they were on the day they opted into your list.

The two best ways I have found to do this is to give them as much information as possible on your topic and to ask them to take action every time you contact them. The action can be to reply to your email, to click on a link to one of your articles, to comment on your blog, or some other action. This does not mean to sell them something in every email. Instead, get them into the habit of clicking on your links to receive more information.

Over time, your list will come to know, like, and trust you because of the information you have been providing them. When you offer them something to buy, whether it is your own product or an affiliate product you are recommending.

By remembering why these people came to you in the first place and continuing to give them more of what they want, you will be able to maximize your profit potential in just a short period of time.
