Sure, getting leads is great. But, if it takes those leads many months before they buy anything, won't that put your business in jeopardy?

I sign up to many lists just for the freebies being offered. I don't plan to buy anything. I'm sure theres many other people doing exactly that.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of how to build an online business.

When it comes to paid traffic to your online business, is it better to go straight for the sale by buying customers? Or, is it better to go for the email and warm them up over time before getting a sale?
