The key to success with this business model is that you have to establish, engage and expand a community of people (an audience) who have a shared interest.Here are five options for building this audience:

5 Ways to Build An Audience

1.

Email List - A database of the email addresses of subscribers that opted-in. Generally, you’ll create an in-demand freebie (aka lead magnet) to give away to people who join your list. Then you’ll send follow-up emails to those subscribers.

2.

Blog - A website containing posted content. This may include articles, infographics, checklists, videos and more. You can get your own blog up quickly and easily using a free platform like WordPress.

3.

Social Media - This is a digital following via personal-relationship platforms. The most popular platforms include Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

4.

Podcast - This is where you offer a downloadable or streaming audio series, such as a once-a-week podcast on a topic of interest to your audience.

5.

Video channel - Here’s where you create a collection of video recordings. Many people set their channels up on YouTube, where others can subscribe to the channel, as well as rate and comment on the videos. For best results, put out videos regularly (such as once or twice a week).

Ultimately, your strategy can utilize all of these five options to build your audience. For now, however, let's focus on just one: building an email list. To get started with your list, you’ll need the following:

An email marketing service provider such as GetResponse.
A lead magnet. This is something you’ll give away in exchange for an email address. (You’ll learn more about this in just a moment.)
A lead capture page. This is a page that includes your opt-in form, as well as sales copy to persuade people to give you their email address.

However, an audience alone doesn’t mean a whole lot. That’s because you need to build a relationship with this audience. Which brings us to the next part…
