Anyone that has been successful in business learns that just having a product, and a place to sell it, does not mean that you will make a sale.

List Building

Simply put a list of subscribers to your site. The best way to do that is by doing what the giants in the industry of selling have known since the first store was built. Make an offer the customer can't refuse. Give something away that has value to the buyers you want to attract. Be sure not to be easy though, make sure that there is an action the buyer needs to do in order for them to get the deal. The best way for list building you're site is the squeeze page. After making the pitch for the free product is to require that the customer fill out a form giving you their name and means to contact them for future offers.
