What is List Building How To Build Your List

What is List Building?

List building is simply adding new subscribers to your email list. Example:  A person visits your website or capture page and enters their name or their name and email in exchange for more information or a free gift if it is that you are offering it. I recommend that you always offer something in return and consistently build a relationship with your list.

Why Is List Building Necessary?

There is a saying “The Money Is In The List”…well, I agree to that at some point…but the real money is building a relationship with your list.  How do you build a relationship with your list?  Once a person subscribes to your list or opts in, you are responsible for keeping them there.  Now, there will be people who opt out of your list but don’t worry about them because you want people who are interested in what you have to offer.  There are various ways that you can build a relationship while list building.  One way is blogging and sending valuable content to your subscribers.  You can send out survey and get to know their needs, wants and desires and send your list content that will help them.  The more people you have on your list…the more people you can have access to in order to build a relationship. The bigger your list, the more chances you have of getting people to buy whatever it is that your are offering. List Building is necessary to grow your online business period.

How To Build Your List?

There’s different ways of building your list

Get an autoresponder.

There are various autoresponders that you can use that are low cost like aweber, trafficwave, getresponse, gvo and there is a free one called mail chimp.  It’s totally up to you…all the ones that I mentioned are good.

You can Build Your List With A Blog

If you have a blog you can simply build your list by putting an opt in form in your blog offering a free gift in return.  Just make sure to stay consistent with your blog and send value to your subscribers.

You can also build your list with any affiliate product that you are promoting.

Once you have your blog opt in form set up, here are some cool strategies that you can do to build your list and get your first 100 subscribers

  • Find Blogs and Comment On Them (Make sure their are friendly comments and that you actually read the persons blog.  Also make sure that it has something to do with what you promote or the niche you are in
  • Participate in Forums – Forum Marketing is pretty old school but super effective for generating targeted traffic back to your blog.  People who usually participate in forums ask and answer a lot of questions and pretty much know what they’re doing so it’s a good idea to always post valuable content in the forums.  I will go over forum marketing in another post because it’s another ball game.
  • Create Articles – There has do be something that you know how to do well and if you don’t, do your research, write an article and link it back to your blog..it’s also a great way to generate targeted traffic, and build your list.
  • Social Media – If you are on facebook, create a fanpage, write articles and put a link to your blog.  Same thing with other social media sites depending on which one it is…not all of them have fan pages.  It’s an awesome way to do list building
  • Make your welcome email epic!  – It’s a real good idea for you to make the first welcome email epic….for instance…in your first letter send a video to your subscribers welcoming them and thanking them for opting in…you can also tell them how it would benefit them to stay on your list.

Now that you know why building your list is necessary and how to build your list, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get started.

It’s an easy process and a necessary one.
