By now most internet marketers know that the money is in the list. What most people don’t know is how to get subscribers… they struggle with hundreds of subscribers while they should get thousands every month!

So I’ve decided to publish 22 ways to get more signups for your list. Enjoy!

1. Setup a pop-up to catch the signups on all your blogs and websites.

This is by far the easiest thing you can do and instantly get more signups to your list. Many autoresponders even provide a pre-made pop-up code.

2. Become a contributor at different Giveaway Events

As a contributor at giveaway events you can build a huge list in record time. I usually participate in at least 5 giveaway events each month and have added thousands of subscribers to my list this way.

3. Run your own giveaway event

Running your own giveaway event is probably the easiest and fastest way to build up a huge list. You need to have the ressources to run an event, that means you should be able to get JV Partners who help you to launch the event and you also need a good sofware like the Giveaway Manager 2.

4. Setup free membership sites

This is similar to running a giveaway event with the difference that it’s a lot more work because you have to create and setup all the content or downloads. A membership site should have something unique to offer to become successful, so this is a strategy for advanced marketers.

5. Design a high quality Squeeze Page

A squeeze page or actually several squeeze pages is a must have for every internet marketer. The better your offer is on this page and the better the page looks, the higher your signup rate will be.

6. Increase your signup rate by testing and tracking

You should test and track different elements on your squeeze page like the headline or different bullet points. This is called Split Testing and used wisely it can double or triple your signup rate.

7. Give away free software or ebooks to increase your signup ratio

I know that most marketers already do this but if you are very new to this, then you must understand that you need to offer people something for free before they give you their name and email address. Give away a free ebook or even software to get people on your list.

8. Add a privacy statement on your squeeze pages

Say something like “We respect your privacy and will never share, rent or sell your personal details”… Tell your visitors that their details are safe with you and that they won’t get any spam emails.

9. Do Ad-Swaps with other list owners

Once your list has reached a size of 1000 or more subscribers you should start to do ad-swaps. That means you do a cross promotion for your list with other list owners.

10. Ask your friends to add a link to your Squeeze Page on their sites

Come on, you must know several people who have a website or blog… ask them to add your squeeze page link on their sites.

11. Give away ebooks including a link to your squeeze page

You can create several short reports or ebooks that you distribute through other download sites for free. In these ebooks you have a link to your squeeze page. This is kind of a reverse marketing because you first give away a product for free and you hope to get the signups by doing this. It will only happen if your ebook or report is unique and offers something that is not told elsewhere.

12. Use the My Viral Spiral script

I’ve build a list of 1600 people, still increasing, only with the My Viral Spiral script. It’s one of my favourite 3 scripts for building up huge opt-in lists.

13. Setup Co-Registration exchanges with other list owners

How about adding each others opt-in form on our blogs? How about adding each others opt-in form on our Thank You Pages? Ask this other internet marketers and help each other to build your lists.

14. Advertise your Squeeze Page through free traffic programs

I’m talking about manual click exchanges here. While the signup rate might be as low as 0.3% they are still very viral and can lead to tons of signups. What means 0.3% if you get 100.000 visitors through these every month? It means getting 300 new leads each month on auto-pilot. This can be done by sponsoring other people into these click exchanges. You earn a percentage of their traffic!

15. Advertise your Squeeze Page through credit based safelists

Credit based safelists are great to get started with building your list. You’ll get signups fast and the useage of these is easy.

16. Add your autoresponder optin form to your Facebook Box on your profile

Yeah, this works… there is a Facebook Profile Add-On… a simple Box… you can enter HTML code there, so you can add your autoresponder signup form and it’s displayed directly on your profile.

17. Add your autoresponder optin form on all your blogs and social sites

I must confess that I haven’t done it everywhere yet but once I find the time I’ll add a signup form to my autoresponder on the sidebar of this blog as well as on my other blogs and websites. Maybe with a special offer or something… You should do the same thing, put your signup box everywhere!

18. Link to your Squeeze Page from your blogs

Simply enter it into your Blog Roll or even within your posts.

19. Add a link to your Squeeze Page in your article signatures

Article marketing is great and done the right way it can have a huge impact on your online business. When doing article marketing you should always use a Squeeze Page or your free membership site link in your signature.

20. Add a link to your Squeeze Page in your forum signatures

Same thing as with article marketing

21. Test a short video message or audio message on your Squeeze Page

Videos and Audios can have a huge impact on your visitors. These can add the personal touch to your site and therefore increase your signup rate. Test it, track it and see if your signup rate increases.

22. Provide good content in your emails that you send out to your list

Here are 2 reasons why you should give your readers top content with your emails: 1. You want to keep them on your list and 2. They might tell their friends and they might also signup for your list!

OK, I hope you implement all these strategies… used together I was able to build a list of 25.000 within my first 9 business months.

To your success!

Auto responders are one of the most effective ways to introduce yourself to potential new clients and to build a relationship with those on your newsletter. That is, of course, as long as you treat your autoresponder with respect. As with anything that is automated on the Internet, this can be manipulated in such a way that it will actually be abused. Sure, you may see some short-term results from treating your autoresponder in such a way but those results will be short lived.

It is important that you treat everyone that joins your newsletter with respect. The best way that you can do this is by not blasting out a marketing message to them moments after they sign up for your newsletter. Take the time to introduce yourself and to tell them a little bit about you and what you do on the Internet. It wouldn’t hurt if you mentioned your product and even gave a link to it but make sure that you’re not too in their face with it or else you like find yourself losing subscribers as soon as you gain them.

One decision that you’re going to have to make with your autoresponder is exactly how long you’re going to keep them within the autoresponder series. Some people keep them within that series indefinitely, constantly looping them from the back to the front. As long as you have enough messages in the series, people will not recognize that you are doing this. I have done this on several occasions and it is very rare that somebody will complain that they have already received a message. The few times that somebody did recognize it, they simply e-mail me and told me that I had already sent that message out. I e-mailed them back a thank you letter and that was the last I heard about it.

There may be times in which you want to take your autoresponder subscribers to the next level. After the series is done, you should continue to contact them at least on occasion. Just make sure that it is often enough that they do not forget who you are in between e-mails. Doing so can cause a lot of problems for you in the form of spam complaints and may even make it difficult for your messages to be delivered in the future. Be consistent with your mailings and you will have more of a chance of them getting through and being read.

One other thing that you may want to keep in mind is the fact that it is necessary to have your e-mails opened by those who are receiving them. Many e-mail marketers do so by using very creative subject lines. While this can work very effectively, caution should be taken that you do not annoy your readers by tricking them into opening a message. If you provide them with good content on a consistent basis, they will want to open your message when it gets there regardless of the subject line.

There are some search engine optimization techniques that will always benefit you in one way or another.  One of these techniques that has been around for a very long time is known as article marketing.  Of course, many people are familiar with the term Bum Marketing but really, all this is is a glorified form of article marketing.  The concept itself is very simple to understand.  You write articles that are topical in nature about your particular niche and then you distribute them to the various article directories on the Internet.  The benefit to you?  You get to put at least one link back to your website in the bio box of the article.

Most article directories will require anywhere from 250 to 400 words for every article that you submit.  For most people, they tend to go for the minimum number of words in order to submit the most amount of articles in a short period of time.  There is a lot of method to this madness and it certainly is true that by submitting multiple articles, you will also be able to gain multiple links into your website.  Many people also write variations of their articles for the different article directories and they do this for a specific reason.  There is a school of thought that says that Google will discount articles that are duplicate and may not count the links back into your website from these duplicate articles.

Article submissions to these directories are great and they are a perfect way for you to gain some back links and to get the search engines interested in your website.  They do have their limitations, however, and many of them do not allow linking to your website within the article itself. For this reason, Google may not give that much weight to articles that have the link at the bottom of the article and not in the body of the article.  That is why another method of article marketing comes into play, one that can get you some of the best links that are available on the Internet.

It is often difficult to get websites to link back to you, especially if they have a lot of weight in the eyes of Google.  It is possible, however, that you can get a link back to your website in exchange for writing some original content for use on their website.  Of course, you’re never going to know unless you ask so try writing some of these website owners with your offer of free, original content in exchange for a link back to your website.  You will probably be pleasantly surprised with the number of webmasters that will take you up on your offer.

Writing articles is an excellent way to get exposure for your website and to begin compiling links that will help you in the free search engine listings.  If you are persistent in your efforts and you do things the right way, you will be surprised at exactly how far this type of marketing can take you.

There certainly are a lot of different ways that you can make money on the Internet. One way that many individuals are making an absolute killing is through ClickBank affiliate marketing. This is a very popular way to make money because it does not require you to have your own product or to take care of customers after they have left your hands. All you need to do is simply point them to the right website using your unique URL and then check to see how many sales you have made. If you do it right, you will be very happy with the results. Here are some tips to help you with your ClickBank affiliate marketing efforts.

It used to be very easy to buy some pay per click ads and drive targeted traffic directly to these affiliate programs. Unfortunately, Google has really cracked down on this practice and it makes it difficult to do it without a little bit of extra work. The good news is, if you do put a little bit of the extra work into your efforts, pay per click can still be a very effective way to market these programs. A good example of this is when you make websites that review these products. Point your pay per click advertising toward your review pages and you will simply warm these people up before they finally land on the sales page.

Another way that is very popular is to use a method that is commonly known as bum marketing. Actually, bum marketing is nothing more than article marketing, disguised under a different name. The principle is fairly easy to understand and anybody can do this kind of marketing to get started making money quickly. Write articles that are targeting longtailed keyword phrases in a particular niche. Submit these to article websites, such as ezinearticles.com. If you do it right and choose the proper keywords, you will rank well in Google in a short period of time. The traffic will land on the article, follow through to the affiliate program and hopefully make a purchase. Many people are making thousands of dollars a month from their bum marketing efforts.

Of course, you can also market to the same people over and over using ClickBank products even if those products are not your own. The way that you do this is by pulling people into your squeeze page for a particular niche. After they sign up, send them a serious of autoresponder messages that will market the various products to them. You would be surprised with how effective this particular marketing technique is if you also provide them with great content in your follow up emails. Not only is it effective to make the initial sale, you can also continue to market to the same individuals and offer them products in the same general niche.

If you haven’t started with ClickBank affiliate marketing yet, now would be a good time to start. Just began pulling people in and directing them to one of these affiliate products, the payoff is well worth the effort.

Unfortunately we are currently dealing with a hacker and scammer inside the internet marketing scene. This guy is best known as Daniel Armstrong and he has stolen 2 of our scripts including the Giveaway Manager 2. Now he runs an illegal giveaway event with that at: http://jokeboxgiveaway.com/contributor.php

What’s going on?

Let’s begin with the explaination on what this person gave us after asking him about the unusual activity that we have spotted in our system.

Mr Daniel Armstrong receives an email from Michel Gerrard [giveawaypromoter@googlemail.com] telling him that he can get the Giveaway Manager 2 and the Giveaway Announcer Pro at a special discount. Mr. Gerrard sends Mr. Armstrong an email with an attached HTML file that holds 4 paypal buttons. The first button is an encrypted button for $97 that goes to givewaypromoter@googlemail as the paypal seller. The other 3 buttons are work-arounds with 5 cent payments (or similar low) that go to my (or my partners) email account (redirecting to the download page).

So Mr. Armstrong takes this special deal and pays the required amount through each of the 4 buttons. The payments show up in our database from the persons pasted below.

Richard Hulston info@ebooksgalore-hosting.co.uk

Denise Bayliss dtbayliss@hotmail.co.uk

The member in our database who gets these upsales has registered as pasted below.

Nutty Keith nuttykeith@googlemail.com

So as you can see, Mr. Armstrong must have used 2 different paypal accounts to make the payments. He has also signed up with a different name and email address at our website.

We have done some more research about the domains he owns and the names he has used to register these domains. We have sent him an email to explain where these weired payments come from and he replied with the above story. The email he replied from comes as pasted below.

From: Keith Burton [mailto:nuttykeith@googlemail.com]

Hmmm… thought his name was Daniel Armstrong or Nutty Keith… now I’m confused….

So we have Keith Burton who replies to a question that we have asked Mr. Armstrong about why he has signed up as Nutty Keith and payed for a $297 product with 5 cents only using 2 different email addresses with the names Richard Hulston and Denise Bayliss.

OK, we see there is something going on with this person. Yes, we are talking about one person here!

As I said, we have done some research and found a stolen copy of my Giveaway Announcer hosted at http://www.giveaways.jv-marketing.co.uk/

That’s a sub-domain of http://jv-marketing.co.uk/homepage.php
which is a Giveaway Event where many internet marketers have signed up. Means this person has your details including your passwords!

This person seems to be a very active “internet marketer”. He runs all kinds of scripts on his domain… all half setup… Did he pay for these???

http://www.dotcomallsorts.info

http://www.5dollarsecrets.net/

http://www.ebooksgalore.co.uk/

http://jv-marketing.co.uk/homepage.php

http://www.firesalemainia.co.uk/

http://www.sarahs-gifts.co.uk/

http://www.giveaways.jv-marketing.co.uk/

http://ebooksgalore-hosting.co.uk

http://www.jvmuk.co.uk

This person is also the owner of many names and addresses that he uses to register the domains for example:

Marie Ashwell
JV Marketing
Ebooksgalore
Daniel Armstrong
Shonda Armstrong
Rick Armstrong
Anthony Debney
Jason Debney
Keith Burton
Oscar Walters
John Walters
Jamie Walters

This person is of course not able to explain these things…

Now he runs our software illegally on http://jokeboxgiveaway.com/contributor.php

You can research all this with WhoIs lookups and draw your own conclusion. I’m sorry that I have to bother you with this stuff but I don’t want you to signup at his sites and have your name associated with a hacker.

Anybody that has been Internet marketing for any time realizes that being listed in Google is a way to get some serious traffic to your website. As a matter of fact, it is estimated that Google may drive up to 50% of the traffic that searches on the Internet. The other 50% is spread among some of the other search engines, such as Yahoo or MSN. While it may help your business to be listed in the smaller search engines, having a good listing in Google can give you a fantastic boost. The problem can be getting listed in Google quickly, especially if your website is brand-new. If you seem to be sputtering as far as your ranking is concerned, here are some ways to get listed in Google fast and move up through the rankings with ease.

Don’t let anybody tell you any different, getting listed in Google is very easy to do. The only thing that you really need is a website and a few incoming links. As long as your website is navigable by the search engine, the incoming links will point the search engine bot to it. You can get these links from any number of places but the easiest ways to do it are through article marketing or submitting RSS feeds. Here is a little bit about each of those methods.

Article marketing is simply writing articles that have to do a little bit with what your website is about. You would post these on various article websites throughout the Internet and leave a link that points back to your website in the bio box. There really isn’t much more to it than that. Some of these article sites that add content on a regular basis are spidered on a regular basis as well. Whenever the search engine spiders see a new outgoing link, they will follow it and began taking in your site.

If you want an extremely easy way to get your website listed quickly, try submitting an RSS feed. You can do this by building a site map that is in the RSS format. There are plenty of free websites which will spider your pages and build this site map for you. All you need to do after that is to upload it to your server and then paying it through one of the free painting services. You will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly the search engine spiders begin to come take a look.

Of course, it may take a little while before your pages are actually indexed in Google but they will be looked at very quickly by using these methods. I’ve had pages that were listed within a day and other pages which took a week or more before they finally showed up. As long as you have a little bit of patience, however, you will see results from your efforts. Before long, your site will be listed and moving up through the rankings on its way to the top.

A Web business will live or die according to the number of people who visit their sites.  Just as a store cannot stay in business if it does not have clients coming through its doors, someone that is involved in Internet marketing is also similarly out of luck if they fall into the same situation.  That is why it is important to make sure that you have plenty of traffic coming to your website on regular basis.  One of the best ways to do this which also happens to be free is through search engine optimization.

Many people consider search engine optimization or SEO to be something that is very difficult to do.  To be sure, it is not something that somebody can just pick up overnight but there are some basic things that can be done that make a difference in your rankings in the search engine.  As long as you keep taking care of the basics, you can simply expound on them in order to help your rankings with the search engines.  The most important thing is that you do not try to cut any corners or to make it too difficult for you to do.  Make a schedule and stick to it and you will be happy with the results.

At the very core of any SEO efforts are incoming links.  Yes, making sure that your pages themselves are optimized for particular keywords is also important but you can rank for keywords that are not even on your webpage if you position your incoming links properly.  Acquiring these links, however, can be something that is relatively difficult to do.  That is, of course, unless you know a few shortcuts that you can take.

You can spend all the time that you want trying to get incoming links from authority websites in your particular niche.  Unfortunately, they simply do not come easy and it may actually come at a very high price.  You can get links to your website that will matter a lot as far as your search engine positioning is concerned through other means.  Submitting unique articles to the article directories and including a link back to your website is one of these ways.  You can also offer to write a unique article for one of the authority sites in exchange for a link back to your own.

One easy way to get incoming links to your website that will propel you toward the top of the search engine results is to use Web 2.0 websites.  This includes everything from social bookmarking to building pages and blogs on websites such as blogger or Squidoo.  Build as many of these as you can and interlink them in such a way that it creates a natural looking linking pattern and then link back to your website from some of the more popular pages.  You would be surprised at how quickly this will increase your search engine rankings.

Having incoming links to your website is the single most powerful way to gain recognition in the eyes of the search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN.  The types of links that you have pointing at your website, however, will make a large difference in the type of attention and recognition that you get from the search engines.  Things that worked a few years ago are not necessarily the things that work well now.  In order to stay on top of the search engine result pages, you need to stay on top of what the search engines require.

Several years ago, it was a fairly easy thing to get to the top of the search engine result pages, or SERPS by launching a massive reciprocal linking campaign.  You simply sent out massive amounts of e-mail to webmasters offering a link to their website in exchange for a link back to your own.  As a matter of fact, it really didn’t even matter what kind of website you were acquiring the links from, as long as the link pointed towards you.  Google was counting all of these links as being beneficial and pointing to the fact that your website was an authority on your particular subject.

Once the word was out, so to speak, some people over used this method to the point where Google eventually stopped counting reciprocal links as being all important as far as ranking your website.  As a matter of fact, too much reciprocal linking may have even been an indicator that your website was participating in something that they disagree with.  Overnight, people lost their position in the SERPS as a result of this change in the Google algorithm.  Does that mean, however, that all reciprocal linking is bad?

Reciprocal linking can still be a very important part of your search engine optimization plan.  What you don’t want to do, however, is to rely entirely on this form of linking.  Google loves links and they probably always will but you need to start developing campaigns that will result in one way links into your website from authority websites within your same niche.  Links from off-topic websites and reciprocal linking will still continue to give you some weight but the all powerful one way link is what will launch your website to the top of the results.

Even though reciprocal linking may be close to dying, it is still an easy way to gain a little bit of recognition.  There are still plenty of scripts out there which make reciprocal linking an automated process and if used properly, can make a difference in your rankings.  As of right now, Yahoo and MSN still give credit to these reciprocal links and Google still credits them to a certain extent.  Until they are totally dead, it will always be a good idea to include them in your marketing efforts as they may make the difference between you being number two on the listings or number one.

One of the most profitable things that you can do on the Internet is to operate your own e-mail list that is interested in your particular niche. Building this list can be done in any number of different ways and sometimes, if the niche is large enough, you can end up with a large list in a relatively short period of time. How you choose to use that list, however, will determine the amount of money that you’re actually able to make by owning it. If you view your list in the proper light, you will find that you are able to reap the largest reward from your subscribers.

An e-mail list is more than just a group of e-mail addresses that you have permission to contact, each of those e-mail addresses represents an individual person with their own identity. Far too many marketers think of their e-mail list as just being a group of people who are interested in hearing about something. While this may be the case, they still like to feel as if they have their own sense of individuality, even if they are part of a large group. While it may be impossible for you to get to know each of your subscribers on personal basis, what you can do is to contact them in such a way that it allows them to feel a closer relationship with you in some way or another. This can be done in several different ways.

First of all, the more information that you have about the people on your list, the better off you will be as far as your being able to personalize your e-mails. Most e-mail software and auto responder programs have built-in capabilities that allow you to insert personalized information into the e-mail by using a placeholder that matches their system. You will get a much better response if you use the individual’s name both in the subject line and in the opening line of the e-mail. Which would you feel better about getting, an e-mail that said dear subscriber or one that had your name as though it were made out personally to you?

You can also involve your e-mail list in a variety of different projects. Even if you have an e-mail list on a very specific niche, many of them may enjoy participating in some kind of a fun activity. For example, if you had an Internet marketing list and on occasion asked them to take part in some type of a contest, such as helping you to name your new puppy, how much more of a part of your group do you think that they would feel? There’s no doubt that by including them and allowing them to have a voice in return, you are establishing a relationship with them that will benefit you in many different ways. Not only will you be able to market to them from time to time, they will be looking forward to the next contact that they receive.
