Newsletter / E-zine

Having a newsletter or Ezine is a great way to grow your email list by giving them value-added content directly in their email box. Of course your newsletter will have valuable offers that will make you money as long as you don’t abuse your readers.

The more you can offer people these days, that will save them time, the better chance they will sign up for your newsletter.

Offer E-Courses

A great way to get people to sign up to your news letter is to offer ecourses but you don’t need a newsletter to make this work for you. Your ecourse will have the content people are looking for and the links that will lead them to places for more info and the potential for your to earn from those links.

Write Articles

Get writing and publishing on a regular basis. Write articles and distribute them to article directories. Here’s a chance to include your newsletter sign up within the article resource box.

Offer Free Books

I like to save time and use PLR content to create useful ebooks that I can then sprinkle with relevant links and give it away from my site for my visitors email and name. A new name and potential customer for my list.

Heck they don’t even have to be large ebooks, just 10 pages or so of great content that will help your reader and perhaps lead them to something that will eventually lead to more income for you.

This is a great way to use those affiliate links.

Free Membership Site

Learn more about owning and running a free membership site. You can get a ton of email addresses doing this because people love FREE.

It should go with out saying but be sure to offer valuable content or your list will just opt-out. The time it takes to setup a free membership site is well worth it if you follow all the steps.

Create Squeeze Pages

Squeeze pages are on my list of things to do more of. A squeeze page can quickly get your visitors email and name as that’s all they can do. Nothing around to confuse them or have them click away from your page, so squeeze pages are perfect for growing that list. Well worth learning about.

Pop Up

Personally I am not into pop up windows, especially those that pop up while you are trying to read a page. I just leave, but I can tolerate the pop up that appears when you go to leave a page. With this exit pop up you have a last ditch opportunity to get their attention before they are gone forever.

Viral Selling

When you have the flu it’s viral and people you come in contact with can get the virus. We don’t really care much for viral in that case but put that same idea into a product, a report, ebook, or digital product and you can the potential to have thousands see that product.

Note: The better job you do on the content the better chance you have it going viral. Just be sure you don’t forget to put your affiliate links in their and have them cloaked of course.

Giveaway Freebies

Like I said earlier, people love FREE giveaways. I can’t tell you how many I have signed up for in the years I have been working online. GiveAways have been around now for years and it does work, but of course it’s a numbers game so you need to get a lot of signups.

They will be signing up for your newsletter of some kind of report so you want it to be valuable so they stay signup up and get your emails and promotions.

Sign Op Bonuses

I have bought a lot of products since 2001 and must say that whenever anyone offers something that is useful AND has a bonus they have my attention. Of course the bonus needs to be worth my time or you might just be wasting your own time.

Take the time to experiment with each of the above 10 simple ways to build your list and then work those that work best for you.
