3 Easy to Apply List Building Tips
Do you know exactly what to do if you want to grow or enhance your e-mail list? Use the tips below to help you get on your feet. Without proper planning you won’t be able to make money on the Internet.
The first rule of building a good e-mail list is to give the list subscribers useful information. The reason that so many Internet marketers fail at building good lists is not that they do not take action; it is that what they give to their subscribers isn’t worthwhile. When a person subscribes to your list he should get something good for doing so. For example, let’s say that you are building a newsletter about “dog training.” Now, to truly serve the people who have opted in to your list, you need to give them good information on a regular basis. If you are going to simply state the same information repeatedly your list will eventually figure out that you aren’t giving them anything worthwhile and it will decrease your subscriber numbers. This is why it is good to focus on sending out good information that you have actually worked hard to put together. Putting together good, relevant and targeted information does not have to be difficult. At the same time, unfortunately, it isn’t simple as pie either. You will need to plan on working diligently to gather the greatest information to give to the people who subscribe on your list. If you really do want to achieve this, then keep yourself updated about your niche and publish fresh information that your subscribers would really appreciate.
Another tip you should heed (and that can actually raise your number of subscribers) is to publish a privacy policy on your website and make sure that a link to it is clearly visible near your opt in form. The reason for this is, the spam rate has grown out of bounds in the past few years and people have become really careful or cautious in giving away their email address. New subscribers don’t want to have to worry about being inundated with spam mails. This is why, when you link to a privacy policy, your subscribers are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their personal e-mail addresses with you. You should also add a small note saying that you do not share, rent or sell email addresses and respect their privacy. Taking this small step will go a long way toward helping you build your e-mail list. To make money online you must maintain knowledge and positive attitude.
This might sound like a strange tip but it makes sense to include a ‘sign up’ link in your newsletter. If you send out your newsletter in plain text then you will want to put your link at the end of the newsletter. This probably seems like it is pushing the point too far but it will help you out later when your subscribers share your newsletter with others or reprint it on their websites. It is a smart way to take advantage of opportunities that might be presented to you through the generosity of your subscribers.
In conclusion, the tips that we have talked about in this article are just the beginning; as you keep working and learning you are going to discover many others that will help you as well.
