How To Use Articles To Build Your Mailing List

How To Use Articles To Build Your Mailing List
We will assume that you understand the importance of
building your own list to market to. There are many
different ways to do this and one of those is write and
submit your articles online. In this article we will talk
about how to use articles to build your list.

You can build your list writing and submitting articles and
you may not have even realized it. What you do is you write
and submit articles on things you know something about or
you can research them. You then submit them to article
directories where ezine publishers, webmasters, and
visitors are looking for information.

Leveraging your article marketing efforts with article
writing and submitting can really pay off. What you are
doing is showcasing your worth and expertise on a topic
through the articles you write.

So, how do you build your mailing list doing this? Every
article can contain a resource box on the bottom of your
articles. In this bio box you can include your website
address and a little bit about you or your products.

One way that has proven to be very effective is to have the
website address in your resource box lead to a landing page
where you can collect the contact information from your
visitor. You can trade something for free in return for
their name and e-mail address.

This form should lead to an auto responder where you
provide the information they are requesting. Your
autoresponder then becomes your follow-up mechanism in the
way that you build your list for future follow-up.

If your article is good other e-zine publishers will put it
in their newsletters, which can allow you to get more
subscribers to your list as well. This is true viral
marketing at its finest.

Obviously the key to making this work is to write a good
quality article, followed by an interesting resource box.
This is a very nonthreatening way for people to request
more information by clicking on your link and then opting
in to your list.

The people who do the best with this are people who write
lots of articles. If you can get 10 subscribers with one
article, then how many could you get with hundreds of
articles. And how you really factory in the results that
come from the viral marketing your articles can give you!

This is a real quick brief overview on how to use articles
to build your list. If you will commit some time to do that
on a daily and weekly basis you can build a large mailing
list of your own.
