I know what you're thinking ... "1 million subscribers in
20 weeks ... no chance!"
Well it is undoubtedly a lot to ask, but I'll show you an
example in a moment of just how fast mighty oaks can grow
from a single acorn...
There's lots of ways to build a list, some ways are slow
and others are fast.
If you really want to explode your own lists in just a few
months, you've got to apply viral marketing tactics.
You've got to provide compelling reasons for people to join
your list and tell others about it. Provide a really
compelling reason and your acorn will soon become a mighty
oak ...
Lets start the example to explain what I mean.
Once you've got your first sign up, you need to give your
new subscriber a compelling incentive to recruit further
sign-ups for you, and then in turn, you need to give those
subscribers the same compelling reason to find you more
sign-ups.
If you repeat this process over and over again,your list
will explode exponentially in a very short space of time!
So in week one of your list building campaign you receive
an impressive total of one new subscriber to your list.
You now have a list of one (remember from small acorns
mighty oak trees grow!).
Once subscribed, you give your first list member a really
compelling reason to tell their friends or customers about
your site (lets say you offer your subscriber a special
free gift in return for them telling their friends about
you).
During week 2 your incentive pays off! You receive 2 more
sign-ups thanks to the efforts of your first subscriber.
Now, after 2 weeks of list building you have a list of 3
subscribers (don't stop reading just yet it does get
better!).
Your 2 new subscribers gained during week two find your
incentive totally compelling, so they too tell their
friends about your site. As a result each of them sends
you another 2 subscribers the following week. Now it's the
end of week 3 and you now have a list of 7 subscribers!
(Huge fortunes are just around the corner).
This pattern of events continues for the next 7 weeks.
Based on each new subscriber finding you just 2 more
sign-ups each the following week, by week 10 your list will
contain 511 names. Not too shabby.
All you have done to this point is set up a web page to
capture email addresses and then given each of your new
sign-ups an incredibly compelling reason to tell others
about you. As a result after 10 weeks you have a list of
510 subscribers.
Not a life changing number you'll be thinking?
Maybe not ... but if you wait for just another 10 weeks,
based on the scenario above repeating each week, by the end
of week 20, your list will have grown to 1,048,575
subscribers ... its hard to believe but it's true ... over
1 million subscribers in just 20 weeks!
Now I'm not saying you'll definitely build a list of one
million subscribers in just 20 weeks, but when you look at
the example above it suddenly doesn't sound as daunting as
you may have first thought ...
When you start building your lists, think big, think
massive, think Viral! Get yourself a "compelling reason"
to give to your visitors and your acorn will flourish.
