Building Your Email List - Part 3

I know you've been nxiously awaiting how I made $1,600 in the last 35 days online?

Well...read on for these unbeatable tips...


#1. Provide useful, relevant and unique content.
#2. Add a subscription form to every page of your website.
#3. Make the sign up process as easy as possible.
#4. Address your visitors’ privacy concerns.
#5. Show an example issue to your visitors.
#6. Create a web-based newsletter repository.
#7. Contact other newsletter publishers.
#8. Give away useful free stuff.
#9. Request that your subscribers pass it on.
#10. Let others reprint your newsletter, as long as its content is unmodified.


And lastly, #11-15.

#11. Include a “Sign Up” button in the newsletter. If you are using plain text instead of HTML, provide a text link to your subscription page. You may feel that this is not required, because the subscriber is already on your list, but remember that your readers will forward your newsletters to others, or reprint it online. You want to make it easy for them to subscribe.

#12. Add a squeeze page. A squeeze page is typically designed only to build your list. It features a powerful headline and a couple of most important benefits that should make your subscribers salivate to sign up to your list. Once created, use a service such as WordTracker to find hundreds targeted keywords, and advertise on them using pay per click advertising on Google, MSN and Yahoo.

#13. Include testimonials in your squeeze page. This is crucial. Put 1 or 2 strong testimonials from satisfied subscribers on your squeeze page. This can be in any format, but you may find that multimedia (audio or video social proof) is more “believable”. People like to follow footsteps of other people.

#14. Blog religiously. Blogging is a great way to communicate with your potential customers, and it creates a nice synergy with your email marketing. Be sure to include your newsletter sign up form on each page of your blog.

#15. Use an email marketing software to manage your database. I use GetResponse. It's the easiest autoresponder/newsletter system I have ever seen - it blows aweber out of the water! Using this program has allowed me to make around $1,600 in the last 5 weeks! ($1000 from new partners joining me in my business). Check out GetResponse today.

And that's it. That wraps this week's course on the 15 steps to building and optimizing your list. Make a plan of action and get it going! The reason I have been so successful online in such a short period of time has been because of:

• 1. Investing in myself,
• 2. Taking action,
• 3. Being consistent.

Talk to you later! I hope you have a great weekend.
