List Building Part 3

A few methods for generating a list will be looked at here again. We have discussed other list building methods in previous posts. So what else can you do to build a list?

Make sure you have a website, because one way to build your list is to use a squeeze page.

Now you may be wondering what a squeeze page is. In short it is a one page, attractively designed webform with your autoresponder collecting the information for your email list. A squeeze page will advertise something that the subscriber wants, like an ebook or a report. It’s almost like a prelude to your main website, like an advertisement of some sorts. Some people use squeeze pages before they launch the main site to generate traffic and buzz as well.

Here the visitor will be presented with a few bulleted headlines that will tell them what incentive there is for signing up to this list. This in turn will make them quickly decide if they want to sign up or not. The main advantage here is that if the visitor doesn’t purchase on the firt time, you can always follow up at a later date to see if they will be interested in your products and services.

Another list building method is using free reports. Similar like free ebooks. Your free reports will be much easier to create than an ebook. It should have only a few pages, sometimes one or two pages is enough.

In essence the report should contain links to your blog, Lenses, hubpages, website and optin form etc. It should contain generalized information that links to your products or services and can even contain information on any surveys you may have done etc.

Some other list building techniques are using classified websites to generate interest. Also coupons, trade and exchange ads can help you as well. There are many methods…it’s a matter of trying it and see which ones work for you.
