<p>He&#8217;s got an unseemly beard.</p>
<p>And he scares little children.</p>
<p>But Santa is not a douchebag.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because he&#8217;s got a list.</p>
<p>Yes &#8211; unlike most would-be marketers out there Mr. Claus has his shit together.</p>
<p>Whether he got all the names from a squeeze page remains to be seen but one thing is clear;</p>
<p>Without a list he&#8217;s screwed.</p>
<p>And so it is with internet marketers. The ones without their own list really struggle.</p>
<p>They have no focus.</p>
<p>They have no way of reaching their market en masse.</p>
<p>And they have no way of making easy sales just by sending an email.</p>
<p>So they take the easy way out.</p>
<p>They buy traffic.</p>
<p>But it sucks.</p>
<p>It hardly ever converts and they end up even deeper in the hole than before.</p>
<p>Sound familiar?</p>
<p>Look. I&#8217;m not scaremongering here.</p>
<p>This is the sawgrass truth &#8211; if you haven&#8217;t got a list you are always going to struggle to make money online.</p>
<p>So put your favorite red pants on, grab a cup of cocoa and fill your sack with list-building goodness here;</p>
