Getting an Email List Built
Building an email list can be very daunting. Many marketers dread setting up autoresponders and web forms using all the scripts and copywriting that goes with that can be pretty overwhelming.
All of that aside, the most important thing people need to build a list is traffic. You can have a terrible offer but with enough traffic you can build a small list. On the flip side, have a great offer and you won’t need to worry about the traffic converting. Combine good traffic with an excellent offer and you can have magic.
An offer can be lots of things. Many times you just need a compelling headline that captures the imagination and tells a story. It can be simple and short or long and complicated, but it needs to express a concern or draw on an emotion in the reader. Now that video has taken things to a whole new level you can drive people to your email list that way as well. Anyway you can build your list should come into consideration because hitting things on all fronts will produce the best results.
Some of the best methods I have seen to build email lists are :
1. Product Launches – giving away content in exchange for your email list opt-in
2. Bait – email opt-in in exchange for information in any given niche
3. BLOGs – leaving an opt-in box in the side bar and entice them with content and opt ins will happen.
4. Ad Swaps – post a competitor’s ad on your site in exchange for posting one on his site for your site and see what happens to your traffic.
5. Many other more advanced things.
There are so many different ways to get information on building a list. One such product that is currently out there is called List Laudering Bonus and will walk you through this entire process. The List Laundering Bonus boasts a healthy list of over 11,000 people that was created in 2.5 months. That is truly amazing. There is a whole lot we could learn from someone who has achieved things like that.
