List Building | Seven Awesome Ways to Build Your List
If you're been list building a while, you may not be getting many subscribers every day, if you keep up the same old tactics. Here are some new ideas for you:
- Whenever you send out a message to your list, put a short paragraph at the end that asks them to pass the newsletter along to a friend. Or, tell your friends that they can subscribe, and give them the email address to your autoresponder.
- Use list building boxes on all your sites and blogs, at the very top of the page. Then, no one will miss it. When people read your blog and like it, they'll subscribe to your list.
- Articles are very popular as a traffic tool, too. Use your main keyword at least 2% of the time, and use them to send people to your list building page or your blog, where the opt-in box is the first thing they see.
- Give something away. Write a short report that you can use for giveaway promotions. There are tons of those. But if you join, be sure people who elect to accept your gift are signing up directly to your autoresponder. Otherwise, if you have to depend on performance for getting providers or customers for the giveaway, you may not get many subscribers. Be sue that it's quid pro quo, as in gift for information, period.
- JV. Tell people that if they'll send out to their list once, you'll put their link into your autoresponder series forever. It works! That way, you're promoting the other person's stuff forever and your list building efforts have suddenly become quite productive.
- Join a co-registration program, where your newsletter or ezine is listed with several others. Hopefully, the box is pre-checked, so that when people sign up for other newsletter, ezines, or free offers, they also sign up for yours. That's how the best co-reg systems work, and can be very productive in terms of list building.
- Have you ever been in direct sales and heard the term ABC, for Always Be Closing? In the Internet Marketing world, you might see, ABT, or Always Be Testing. But here's what I think before anything else: ABL, Always Be List Building. If you want to succeed online, it's really all about the list.
Always Be List Building.
Always Be List Building.
