It’s not hype to declare that you can take 30 days off from your business and still make money. That’s precisely how Maritza Parra, known as the List Building Queen, has designed, built and managed her business for years. She’s built email lists around her love for horses, natural bath and beauty products, her self-empowerment teachings that got her interviewed by Oprah and now also for her high-end camping gear business.
Focusing on 4 key facets of your business can get you there, too. And, that’s what Maritza and I explore on this episode of Adventures in Visibility.
On the show Maritza and I discuss:
- Knowing what your business is really all about
- What you need to stay focused on over the long haul and why
- An example of how to use a give-away to create buzz, build your list and make money
- The 4 specific keys you need to have a successful business
- Maritza’s most memorable adventure

The Big Take Away
Several times during the conversation, Maritza makes the point that it’s not as easy to build a list today as it was a few years ago. There’s a lot of noise and many competing offers being made to your audience. You need to get creative. Maritza has found success by doing a strategic give-away that leads to a product her audience wants. Tools to check out for your give-away are: UpViral and KingSumo.

About the Guest
Maritza Parra is passionate about helping business owners grow their profitable email subscriber lists to support their online business. However, list building has changed. It’s not as easy to build a list of qualified prospects. For this reason, Maritza also helps people SELL and SERVE while they are building their list to support a long-term profitable business they love.
She successfully turned her passion for Iberian horses into a lucrative convention event business, a tourist equine experience and into profitable information products, supported by a list of email subscribers she serves. She’s built email lists around her love for horses, natural bath & beauty products, her self-empowerment teachings that got her interviewed by Oprah and now also for her high-end camping gear business.
