No, 'the Money' IS NOT "in the List" (at least not MY money ...)

I'm studying a program called ClickTrackProfit---a series of video-tutorials attached to a cryptocurrency-program.
The guy giving the tutorials keeps 'hammering in' the message that "The Money's in The (Email) List." In my light study of affiliate-marketing over the years, I've heard that 'Law of Internet Marketing' many times ... so-often that I'm probably on a few email-lists, which I joined thinking that I could use them to grow MY email-list.
But--just like I don't really read the thousands of emails those lists send me every week--I would guess that any email I send to those lists don't get read either (much less making people send me money 
)
I tried to see if anybody had 'Wikipedia'-ed that phrase yet, and the closest thing I got (after a few Wikipedia lists of wealthy celebrities) was 'a money-making blogger's testimonial about "Building Your List".'
There, he (like most of the others who've tried to convince me that 'The Money is in The List') testifies that--starting out with only a few thousand email-addresses put on his list by people who visited his blog--he managed to sell above the average amount to those users with his introduction- and follow up-emails.
(I'm thinking THAT'S 'where the money is'---in the follow-up!)
But not for me. For me, my list is my Twitter follower-list (with Twitter being the main 'platform' for sharing my blog-posts).
When I think of online money-making, I think of Amazon. And does Amazon have an email-list? Maybe, but only because people want news of new products they can buy there.
What do people want to get updates-on from me? Probably not 'things to buy' so much as 'things to learn (usually for FREE).'
... and See, @myLotBugs? 'someone other than Sabrina' has posted as if I can read what they wrote! It's great that they put in their contribution; but not if they want my response, because they blocked me! I wish you would inform them that--since they block me--I won't be able to respond until they UNblock me. Thank you.
