Finally understood the concept of why it is so important to build a list first...

[MoiraWight]

I have been putting into action some training from a course I took recently which has really helped me to understand the process of starting an online business. This week I have really got a handle on understanding why it is essential to start building a list of targeted prospects before thinking about creating a product.

Armed with this knowledge I am looking forward to 2012 and building my online business further.

Best wishes
Moira:)

Hooray, Moira. Just think of all the lives you will enrich in 2012!

This week I have really got a handle on understanding why it is essential to start building a list of targeted prospects before thinking about creating a product.

However, if you create a product and use it to build your list, you can build a valuable buyers list. All it takes is a simple how-to guide that you can sell at a low, introductory price, bring buyers to your list, and then sell them bigger products as you create them.

Excellent! One step at a time :) There are tons of ways to build your list. Kevin named a good one. Also, if you have a Facebook page and you use Aweber (http://freebonus.aweber.com/) for list management, you can actually set up your entire subscription process right there on your FB page. (It's a brand new feature Aweber offers.)
