With every "guru" preaching, "The money is in the list."
Are you starting to realize the importance of having your
own? If not then you should really get with the program.
With tons of articles and books on how to grow your list,
there are really four main things you need to know to do it
efficiently. The first is put a nice looking web form at
the bottom of your site right after the content. Try to
make it look like a mini capture page, you could even put a
dashed box around it for looks.
There are many people out there that say when you ask for
someone's information on the first page it's too soon.
You have to remember something, that visitor may only be on
your site for 10 seconds.
Wouldn't you want those 10 seconds spent subscribing to
your newsletter? The simpler the better when it comes to
opt-in forms. Just ask for the email and name, maybe even
just their first name. A nice incentive is to offer some
valuable bonuses just for signing up.
After they sign in their name direct them to a bonus page
where you give them their bonuses.
The second is to make your website impressive in the eyes
of your visitor. What would the visitor be looking for on
your site? You need to have numerous high content articles
and a solid design. Don't concentrate on fancy graphics
because tests show that content out pulls graphics any day
of the week.
Deliver value to your visitor and they will sign up for
your newsletter if they think they can learn more from you.
Also, make sure your website loads fast. Even though we are
truly in the age of the cable modem, not everyone is up to
speed yet!
The third is to provide good customer service. This truly
makes the difference in most customers eyes. Your list
should be treated like your most prized possession. Make
sure you are answering questions and helping people as much
as possible, they will return if they have a pleasant
experience with you. Also, a return customer will spend
much more than a new one and also recommend you to friends.
The fourth is crucial to your success and that is to keep
the list private and spam free. If you lose trust with your
customers then you will never get them back. Never sell or
distribute anyone's email address EVER, this is very
important. The trusting bond you have with your list must
never be broken. If you are looking at quick profits by
selling your list then you shouldn't be growing a list in
the first place.
