Build Your List The Fast And Easy Way
My subject today is a popular one: Rapid list building made easy. I get a lot of questions asking how to build a list and do it quickly.
Building a list is easier than you think.
The fact is the techniques of list-building are really quite simple.
These three tactics will help you to build your list quickly:
Create a “squeeze page”. Not many people use squeeze pages, despite the fact that they really work. Perhaps this is because it takes backbone to say, “Until I get your e-mail address, you can’t see anything!” I promise you will build your list of subscribers by using a squeeze page. As an example, take a look at my squeeze page at www.rayedwardscopy.com. I don’t offer anything, not even an ethical bribe, to convince people to opt-in. Despite that, my conversion rate is an amazing 38%! Best of all, I have a great list.
Swap ads with other list owners. Look around for other e-zine publishers and offer to trade ads. They will run an ad for your list, and you will run an ad for theirs. Don’t offer ads? No problem. Try a little cross-promotion between newsletters or blogs. Simply write a small paragraph explaining, “I’ve found a great newsletter which I think you will like. Check out this link.” This is one of the fastest and most effective ways to build your list. It sounds almost too easy to be true, but it really works.
Look for opt-ins through forum postings. You can post good content to forums. Many forums will allow you to add text to your signature line. Try something simple, like “To get my ‘Seven Tips on List Building’, click here”. That link leads readers directly to your opt-in page. Make sure you have a decent ethical bribe to offer - a special report, audio clip, video clip, a .pdf, even free software. Don’t subscribe to any forums? Now may be the time to start! All you need is twenty minutes a day. Use that time to check out ten forums, add quality posts, answer any questions, and include your signature line link. This really works - I get new subscribers every day from this method, and I don’t even have time to post to forums anymore.
