The number one mistake people make when they start building their online business is to ignore list building until the very last. They like to focus on how to generate traffic, create this very complicated sales funnel and even spend lots of time and money in building a product. The truth is that if you are not building a list since day one, then you are losing a lot of money in future sales, something that people do not understand about the power of list building.
You see, list building is the only possible way for you, as a business owner, to create future sales without the need of having new visitors to your website.
