Build You Email List Today With These 5 Surefire Strategies!

By Louis-Charles Martel

1.) Offer useful stuff for free.

In selecting which freebies to offer, think of the things which you know visitors would truly like or need. For instance, you can offer an e-book about what to do in the vent of panic attacks or one written about the best home-based businesses one can embark upon. This would provide motivation for them to signup. Once they do, you get to acquire their email addresses which can help you build your list more quickly.

2.) Write articles that are free for publishing.

Permit your visitors to reprint your articles if they are to request permission. Then, provide a request form where they are to enter their names and email addresses. This is an effective way your building up your list.

3.) Make your visitors see the benefits of signing up.

Many people are hesitant to sign up for anything because they do not want any more spam in their emails. On your signup page or landing page, justify to your prospects that your e-zines or newsletters will not be a waste of their time and are not just some more spam to accumulate in their inboxes. Many people are often loaded with too much information that they grow tired of reading emails and just choose which ones seem new and interesting. Therefore, your newsletters must be of fresh content and something the prospect will find informative and helpful. Provide testimonials from old subscribers or even samples of the older issues.

4.) Use the basic search engine optimization strategies

See to it that all written content in your website are embedded with the correct keywords so that when people search for reference materials and information about subjects pertinent to your content, the search engines can easily find your articles and direct readers to your site. Be careful though, because too much appearance of the same keywords can be considered as keyword "stuffing" and you might even get penalized for it. Remember also to rename web page titles. Most internet marketers do not realize that web page titles are usually something like "824%_88.html" or "page1.html". If you fail to rename them, search engines will not be able to locate your articles easily.

5.) Administer a "membership drive"

Run a membership drive by asking your visitors to help you invite more people to visit your website by letting them send invite emails to friends. This requires them to enter the email addresses of their friends. To inspire them to invite many, give a special prize for whoever get the most number of people to sign up. This way, the amount of email addresses you get doubles up and in no time, your list will expand astoundingly.
