If you are new to internet marketing then you may not
realize that one of the keys to online marketing success
has to do with building a well targeted and responsive
email list. Success will come allot faster when you take
the time to build relationships with a large list of
subscribers, but you must know something that your
potential customers don't and then they must want to learn
it from you.
It took many years for me to figure out that I can succeed
much faster if I take the time to help my subscribers
succeed.
Below are a few things you can do to get people to
subscribe to your newsletter and build your own profitable
email opt in list.
1. Trade solo or classified ads with other publishers.
Before doing so make sure their subscribers are interested
in what your newsletter offers. The other newsletter should
offer content that your subscribers may be looking for.
This will not only help you gain more subscribers but the
other publisher to.
2. Publish your own articles. This will give you an
advantage over other publishers by not only providing your
newsletter with more subscribers but by also improving your
search engine placement. How? Through the resource box at
the end of your articles. Your resource box should contain
a link to your newsletters subscription page and it should
also include your major keywords. Submit your articles to
article directories, announcement lists and to other
publishers that need articles for their newsletters.
3. Offer a free bonus to your subscribers. You can create
an e-book of all your articles or offer free software. The
better the bonus you give the more subscribers you will
have.
4. Visit message boards and forums and begin posting on
them. Only post on forums that are related to the topic of
your ezine. Once you establish your credibility people will
visit your website and subscribe to your newsletter. Most
forums permit you to ad a signature file when you post.
This is a great way to get traffic to your website, so make
sure you have a good sig file.
5. Submit your newsletter to directories. This will not
only help you get more subscribers for your newsletter but
will also help you find other publishers who may be
interested in joint venturing with you. Just go to Google,
type in "Ezine Directory" and start submitting.
6. Post an ad for your newsletter on ezine announcement
lists. This will give you an easy way to promote your
newsletter continuously.
7. Provide a sample issue of your newsletter. This will
increase your subscriptions by providing people with an
example of what you are offering.
8. Use your sig file in your outgoing emails to help
promote your newsletter. Just about all email programs
allow you to add a signature file at the end of every email
you send. If not, then get another email program.
9. Run an ad in other ezines. Target your audience and only
advertise with ezines that offer good advertising rates. By
placing your ads in at least three consecutive issues you
will get the most for your money. Repetition is the best
way to attract new subscribers. You can also place free ads
in other newsletters if you are a subscriber to their
publications. Track your ads so that you can then pay for
advertising using only ads that you know work.
10. Place a subscription box for your newsletter on every
page of your website. That way any visitor will be able to
subscribe no matter where they come from.
These are just a few ideas that you can use to help get you
started. Don't forget to have good content in your
newsletter and always place your link wherever possible.
The main reason for building an email list is to constantly
stay in close contact with your targeted prospects and
eventually turn them into customers.
This is how successful internet marketers do it, and how
you can to.
So, are you building your email list? If yes, way to go! If
not, why not?
