Without any doubt the road to your online or affiliate marketing campaign begins with traffic and continues with a huge mailing list. Millions of time it is said “The Money Is In The List” and without any doubt it is 100% true. So if you haven't yet started to build yours I ask you to stop reading now and get yourself a professional autoresponder first then start reading further. Here I want to share with you some of the best list building tips so that you can start building a huge list with quality subscribers.
1.Use a professional autoresponder:
The big mistake that many new online marketers do is that they try to find a free alternative to a professional autoresponder. It is little embarrassing to admit but I also did the same mistake in the beginning and I have to pay a huge price for that. Spend few bucks on a professional autoresponder its one of those marketing tools on which you should never think of saving on.
2.Offer your subscribers a viral ebook as joining gift:
Please take a note I haven't said an ebook I said a viral ebook. An ebook with link to your website with full resell rights along with squeeze page. New people starting their first online business will find this ebooks useful to build their own mailing list and will indirectly give their subscribers chance to visit you and join you. Why I am so sure that they will use your ebook as free gift just because you have also provided squeeze page along with your ebook. Note that you should provide a viral e-book with squeeze page.
3.Provide a mini e-course as joining gift:
This is what I personally do to get new subscribers. The reason is quite clear some people join list just to get free ebook,
once they get it they unsubscribe and that is not what I want. So I provide an eight or twelve day e-course and after that I send them free ebooks as an unadvertised bonus for joining my mailing list. An e-course builds credibility between you and your mailing list and once they start believing you there is damn good possibility that they will not leave your list.
4.Don't let them unsubscribe:
The secret to building a big list is not just building it but also maintaining it. So if you find many people are unsubscribing from your mailing list then take necessary measures to reduce it. One quick tip to stop them from unsubscribing you is never send a broadcast messages to a person who is already receiving a follow up unless it is really very important.
5.Don't buy email list:
I may have written several articles on why buying email list can never be a good idea. But for now I would just say most of them are spammers and you may find yourself in legal mess if you'll buy from them. Stay away from list purchase offers.
6.Give them a free gift every month or setup a contest:
Many people visiting you will surely fall prey to either free gift every month offer or a contest. These are well known and working methods by which many online marketers are building their list.
7.Participate in viral list building campaigns:
I know many of you may have heard that list generated by viral list building campaigns are less responsive. But believe me such lists though are little less responsive than lists build using traditional methods but there's no doubt these campaigns can surely build you a massively big mailing list. So I don't think that getting a little less response is a big price to pay for a
free viral campaign. Why ? Let me explain, suppose your have a list of 100 people with 2% conversion response that means 2 sales per 100 persons. Now you opt to join a viral list building campaign and it triples your list building speed and reduces response by 1%, now you have 300 people in mailing list and 1% conversion response that means 3 sales for 300 people. Don't you think the sales number is still bigger inspite of less response.
Above tips are really some of the great list building secrets if you want to apply it your business. So the sooner you start trying them the sooner you'll get results.
