The Money Is In the List: 7 Secrets To Building a List!

The money is in the list. How many times have we heard the statement ‘The money is in the list’. Hundreds, thousands?… and with good reason. Because the money is in the list

I’m going to give you 7 of the top secret quality ways you can add hundreds of quality subscribers to your list and without spending a fortune in the process.

List Building Secret #1 Use Social Media Sites and Run a Contest

This method is one of my favorite ways and is starting to take off as more and more apps come on to the market. It’s very simple to run a contest and as social media sites are constantly searched you can gain thousands of subscribers. You see people want to be in to win something and they want to share with their friends. When running a contest have the prize relevant to your topic that way your subscriber base will grow and could go viral.

List Building Secret #2 Have More Subscription Boxes To Your Website

This sounds simple, but few people actually do it. For every page on your website there should be at least one subscriber box. Your visitors wont go back to your home page to find the subscriber box, give them every opportunity to subscribe to your offer or newsletter or video. You can integrate a subscriber box just about anywhere, on the sidebar, in the middle of an article, or at the end… think outside the box!

List Building Secret #3 Offer an Outstanding Bonus or Gift

Give away a product, book, piece of software or app that is of high quality and unique to you. Put yourself in your readers shoes and ask yourself this question. "Would I pay for what they are offering?’ If the answer is yes then give it away. If the offer is perceived to be of high value then they will subscribe.

List Building Secret #4 Use Pop Up Windows

Pop up windows are still effective ways to get subscribers especially in niche markets. These can easily be added to your website and can be a pop up window when someone first lands on your site and can be put on any part of the site – the most popular place is bank in the middle.

List Building Secret #5 Use Name Squeeze Pages

Name squeeze is a big buzz word lately and it’s something people have been beating to death, but it really does work. The best way to explain a name squeeze page is to show you a good example. www.saltwaterfishingtips.com. This is a great name squeeze page. Basically, a name squeeze page is a simple subscribe or opt-in form that then leads them to either a free report or a sales letter.

List Building Secret #6 Use Video

As you know YouTube is a highly searched site. It’s a great place to go when your want to learn something, or see something funny. Some of these videos can go viral extremely quickly. Add videos to your site, pop ups, subscriber boxes and name squeeze pages. You don’t have to show yourself if you don’t want to.

List Building Secret #7 Make Your Content Relevant

Relevant content keeps your subscribers happy and boosts the amount of people who will recommend you and your products and services. Being relevant to your topic or theme your readers will stay on your website longer searching through your other content to learn more. They will stay focused on what you have to say. Think of it this way ‘A confused mind says no’. The more you stay on topic the more success you will have.
