You’ve heard it before – if you want to succeed online you must build a list.
Because it’s true!
When you build a list of your own, you can …
- Help more people than ever. And if you do that, it WILL come back to you many times.
- Develop deep and lasting relationships that will sustain you for years to come.
- Advertise anything you want anytime you want as often as you want … all FREE!
- Participate in joint ventures that will help you build your list even faster!
The most powerful weapon in any marketing arsenal than a well-developed mailing list.
If you don’t build a list, you will have to …
- Continually buy advertising to reach new audiences.
- Hope and pray that your sales letters convert because people won’t be on your list.
- Pay others who have a list to promote for you when you need a traffic boost.
- Experience higher costs for customer acquisition than other marketers.
- Experience lower lifetime customer value than other businesses.
There are many ways to begin building a list – too many to cover here. So today let’s look at four ways that really work.
1 – YOUR EMAIL SIGNATURE LINE
If you send only 20 emails a day (including replies) then you are sending over seven thousand emails a year!
If you add an offer to join your list to your signature those who are interested will take it up and those who are not will ignore it.
And it costs nothing!
2 – FORUMS AND BLOGS
Ever visit a forum and ask a question? How about making comments on blogs you follow and love?
Many people have done one or both but don’t leverage the experience in their favor. The truth is, this is a great way to build a list with no extra effort.
Almost all blogs encourage you to enter a URL when you comment but many comments contain no URL at all when they could easily include the URL of your squeeze page.
If you post on your favorite forum, make sure to include a link where people can join your list.
3 – SOCIAL MEDIA
All you need is to focus on the big three – Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and have some presence there every day you work.
4 – YOUR BLOG
If you don’t have a blog there is simply no reason to wait any longer.
You can have an almost limitless number of blogs in various niches if you are a niche marketer.
You can create virtually any number of squeeze pages too.
All for no extra cost!
So there you have it, four ways to build a list of your own with no money and no traffic!
- Your email signature line.
- Forums and blogs.
- Social media.
- Your own blog.
Begin using these methods today and you will put time on your side. Sooner than you think, you will build a list of your own.
