TOP 10 WAYS TO QUICKLY BUILD YOUR LIST

TOP 10 WAYS TO QUICKLY BUILD YOUR LIST
10 Fast and Easy Ways to Build Your List
Have you ever wondered how many times you have
heard this comment/suggestion/mantra from the gurus:
"YOU HAVE TO BUILD YOUR OWN LIST"
If you are trying to market on the internet; probably,
too many times for you to count.
Unfortunately, it's also true - the real successful
marketers build a loyal and faithful list of subscribers.
This is nothing new - we usually buy things from people we
trust and know.
We regularly go back to our favorite shops/stores/dealers
because we trust them and know we will get a quality product
or service.
It's not surprising then that your opt-in list can be one
of your most effective marketing tools.
If we agree that we have to build it - just how is it done?
Many of these same gurus don't tell us how or charge us
an "arm and a leg" to find their precious "secrets".
Well, save your money!
Here are ten simple, quick and easy ways to build that all
important list.
1. Put your subscribe box or link on all pages of your website.
Make sure it is at the top of your home page - usually the
right hand side. Some marketers put it at the top and bottom
of their pages!
2. Add a pop-up. They might be annoying but they work! Place an
exit pop-up and offer some free 'goodies' for subscribing to
your list. Free ebook/membership/report. Anything of quality.
3. Describe the benefits of signing up. The "What's in it for me"
question. List reasons one must have your ezine. Quality
information should be at the top of your list.
4. Keep it free! Offer an ecourse for free - five or six lessons
over a period of time. This will also help you build a
relationship with your subscribers.
5. Offer a free ebook or two!! Your own or some of the high
quality ones floating around - pick one that lets you brand it
with your own affiliate links.
6. Write articles (like this one) for other ezines and sites. In
the author's resource box place a link to your ezine/list
subscription form.
Here's a few places to submit your articles to get you
started:
http://ezinearticles.com/
http://www.goarticles.com/
http://www.ideamarketers.com
http://www.marketing-seek.com
7. Make sure you keep your hard won subscribers by writing an
entertaining and informative newsletter. Basically, describe
what works for you in an interesting way. Write it as if
you're chatting to your subscriber over a cup of coffee or
something a little stronger!
8. Put your ezine link in your signature file and use it with
every e-mail that you send. You will be surprised at how many
e-mails you do send and the number of sign-ups you will get.
Again, point out the benefits of joining your ezine.
9. Write or make your own products. Name recognition does count!
Many free directories and sites will list your free product
if it's written by you - this can be a great source of
subscribers.
Can't write - then get permission and compile a list of
articles by others into an ebook. This can be a quick and fast
way to get your name linked to high quality information and
marketers. Again quality counts.
10. Make your list viral. Ask readers to pass it on to their
friends and their lists. If they like your ezine or you - they
will!
If you're having trouble building your list don't give up until
you try these ten simple steps. Many of these steps can be done in
a few hours of work and you will see a healthy increase in the
number of subscribers to your ezine or list.
Go get 'em!
