List Building Part 2

Well we covered auto responders and ebooks in the previous list building post.

Next we will see what other methods we can use to create lists with.

A proven, low-cost method is articles and article submission. You need to be dedicated for this though as you will need to write 3-6 articles a week and submit it to article directories. The most popular article directory is EzineArticles.com

By including your opt-in url in your Author’s Resource Box, you will ensure that if people liked your article, they will sign up to your email list.

Another great method is blogging. A blog can be written in an informal manner and by consistently blogging about specific issues, you will get targeted traffic to your site and if you lead them to your opt-in page, then you will start to create a mailing list. Just make sure to ping your blog so you can get the search engines indexing your pages quicker.

Have you ever heard of an E-Course? Well essentially it is like an ebook, except it will keep your subscribers anticipating the next part. An e-course can be, “How to Train Your Puppy” and each email that goes out will give them that added extra information. You can even interact with your subscribers by asking them to submit ideas, content and feedback in your ecourse. Just remember to set up another email address to receive all the replies.

You basically organize a week’s worth of content and make use of your autoresponder to send one piece of information out every day or every other day. At the end you can ask them to recommend you to others.

You can also make money by offering a special service or product they can purchase from you. By writing a proper recommendation and not trying to sell will appear better in the long run.

Well That is all there is for now. Leave some comments if you found this useful.
