Great List Building Strategies
The share power that a responsive list gives you is well worth the efforts you put into building your list.
Most people though who try to build a list seem to take the long hard way to doing it even though there are some great list building strategies that are easy to implement.
Free Gift Anyone and I mean anyone that signs up to your list have to receive a free gift without question.
The mistake that most people make is that they tend to assume that it is acceptable to send a gift that they have been given free at some point themselves.
Some even give a free gift knowing that it is out of date or does not do what the advert promised it would do.
The free gift has to deliver what you promise them on the sign up page.
Read the report or gift yourself before advertising to make sure it is relevant, up to date and that it will deliver what you claim it does.
Spend a few bucks on a PLR down load to send them; you will be recuperating this cost ten times over if you treat your list correctly.
Relationship Building A lot of marketers new to list building tend to assume they can build a list then leave it to sit there waiting for them to send a sales pitch to them.
This will not work, you have to treat your list with respect, and you have to build up a relationship with them.
This means sending them an email at least once a week.
A good tip is to send them a free down load now and again.
Building a relationship with your list is one of the great list building strategies you can learn.
Ad Swaps If you want to build your list at break neck speed then you need to get into ad swaps.
There are plenty of really good ad swap communities about and using them will make your list grow very fast.
What happens is that you look for someone that is marketing in the same niche as you.
You then approach that person and ask if they would be interested in doing an ad swap.
If they agree they will ask you to send them your ad copy, in other words you need to write the ad that you want them to send to their subscribers.
Your add swap partner will then send you his ad and you both load each other's ad into your email auto responder and agree a specific time and date that you want the ad to be sent out.
There are a few simple rules you need to abide with when arranging and completing an ad swap.
Do not lie about the size of your list.
If you only have 550 subscribers tell your ad swap partner that.
Do not ever promise to do the add swap and then not send out their ad copy when they have sent out yours.
If you do that you will soon become known as someone that cannot be trusted and you will find it very hard to get anyone to do an ad swap with you.
If you follow these great list building strategies you will not go far wrong.
