Has this ever happened to you? You have designed a great site. There are products featured in the site that are unique and you offer fantastic services and schemes. Yet, your client base is not up to the mark.

If you are speculating what is wrong, then it is time you learn some list building trade tips. This may sound very simple but list building is one thing that can take your online business to a new height.

So the question that you are etching to ask at this point is now probably, “What is list building all about?”

Hence to help you, here is a short overview of this important search engine optimization (SEO) two-step work.

Step 1

The first thing you need to know is what or who makes up this list. On a given day, many people may visit your site. Many will come genuinely for buying your product but most are just surfing the net. Then there are visitors who are there to compare prices and see your stock. It is just like “window shopping” online! Many may like what they see and resolve to come back later to buy. But the thing is, each of these surfers can become a buyer or client, only if they are presented with reasons to come visit your site once more. And that can be done by giving them special schemes and offers though email account. And these emails and other information is the data that will make up your list.

Step 2

Now the matter of getting those emails comes into play. You can get them by offering an opt-in page to the visitors when they come to your site. If they sign-up you can provide them with free newsletters and other promo materials. You can also get the list from the people who are buying at your site. There are many benefits of building a list this way versus getting a list ready made. When you send your mails to people who have voluntarily signed up with you, they are expecting your mail. But when you send your mail to people whose emails you have got through a list, they may block your legitimate mails as unsolicited mails. Hence the former method of list building is guaranteed to get you more results than the later one.

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!

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.

If you like to discover many more proven to work marketing strategies, then head over to the Profit Work From Home website. We show new internet marketers how to successfully work from home.

We have just opened the doors at the Giveaway Manager 2 site. The software that ran the most successful giveaway events this year was now made available to the public.

What is a Giveaway?

A JV giveaway is basically just a group of like-minded individuals who all have something free that they have created to offer in exchange for an e-mail address.  Each of these individuals will send traffic to this particular giveaway website using an encoded link that will help them to rank on that page. Everybody gets more signups for their opt-in lists and sales are generated as well.

But the person who profits the most is the Giveaway Owner, the person who runs the software and manages everything. This person gets every single subscriber that signs up plus 50% or more of the income from sales.

We’ve added over 11,000 new subscribers to our list by running one Giveaway Event with the Giveaway Manager 2 software… in just 6 days!

In these 6 days we got more than $13.000 in sales… and you can now do the exact same thing… it’s easy with the new Giveaway Manager 2 software!

Did you know that Credit Based Safelists are great sources for traffic? Yes, it’s true… All you need to do is offer something for free in the emails that you send out to these safelists. You basically tell them people to visit your website where they can get a free ebook, free software or something alike.

Your goal is to get people on your own opt-in list and with credit based safelists you can easily add 10 or more signups to your list every day. Below you can find a list of credit based safelists, ordered by their “power”. I use these lists every day and get great results. You might want to upgrade or buy credits in these safelists, it’s well worth the investment.

List Of Credit Based Safelists

Got Safelist

The MadVlad Safelist

Global Safelist

TrafficSecret Safelist

AdSolutionline Safelist

NewAge-Mkt Safelist

Adtactics Safelist

Syncronizeads Safelist

When marketing to these safelists you want to test different emails and different Opt-In pages. Make sure you track everything so that you can tell what works best. Credit based safelists do bring results, that’s guaranteed… you only need to make them work for you. That means you have to experiment with these credit based safelists. Like I said before, test different things and track everything so that you know what works.

I wish you much success with these credit based safelists!

It is not enough to have the best product possible and the most effective website to advertise it. The primary key to internet business success lies in your opt-in mailing list of clients. These are the names of the people willing to receive your offers and information.

It is not possible to build a successful list by merely putting a sign up invitation on your website. With the massive competition for people’s time and money you need to create an irresistible incentive for them to give you their name and address. There are several highly successful methods to tempt them.

Exclusive and informative ebooks about your market’s interests can be given away as gifts for signing up with your list. Reports about specific products or processes that teach valuable lessons to aid your customer also increase the number of people willing to sign up for your opt-in list. If your market uses such things, a helpful software program that makes their work easier is always welcome.

Another great way to gain those needed opt-in addresses is to offer membership in a special members only area where they are provided with extra services or information. By making them feel “special” they are more likely to continue allowing you to email them your offers. Providing quality information in a recurring emagazine or newsletter will keep your name familiar. Make sure to include the hint that they may want to forward the newsletter to other friends who may find it useful. Since many people keep the html turned off in their email accounts you would want to carry an online version of your newsletters.

While the popup window was originally a marketer’s dream come true, it has been so overused and abused that it has become standard practice for people to automatically run software that will prevent them from showing. If you are still relying on popups for your address capture field then you are losing sales everyday. To replace the popup, more often people are now coding their sites with “alert boxes”. This is a second field that appears over your webpage which should contain the information about the “special” offer and the address information data fields. There are many options for these boxes; some are static while others can be written to follow the viewer up and down the page as they scroll. Always make sure the alert box can be closed out so your original page can still be read.

Once you have them in your address book it is very important to keep them. As well as offering quality products or service it is a good idea to create interest channels of your clients. By keeping your list focused on the individuals interests and only sending to those who have specifically indicated their interest in a specific topic you will have fewer people unsubscribe because of too many emails off their topic or interest.

Make sure to offer your opt-in list only quality products or information. Once you have them, it will be your reputation that either keeps them and adds weight to your recommendations or bores them into hitting the unsubscribe link in your email.

If you don’t have a system in place for building your list you can start with the Easy Optin Listbuilder

Listbuilding is one of the hottest topics for internet marketing. Many people try it and most of them fail. That’s because they don’t know the small but effective secret techniques that the Gurus know. Yes, there are some very special tricks and techniques that most Gurus won’t tell you about. But don’t worry, after reading this article you’ll know about these dirty tricks and you’ll soon become a Guru yourself!

Building a list is the most important task for any online business owner. Your list is your marketing capital! When starting out it will all start very slow but your results will increase as time goes by. We all started with a list of zero subscribers… And many of us managed to build a list of 10.000+ in less than 6 months. Seriously, start today and work hard on building your list… Soon you’ll be one of those Top Internet Marketers with a list of 10.000 prospects and more.

Building a huge opt-in list is based on 2 factors:

- It depends on how much traffic you send to your Opt-In page

- And it depends on how many of your visitors you convert to subscribers

When looking at these 2 factors you’ll soon see that it’s not hard to master these 2 factors. Your traffic will always depend on how much work you put into your traffic generating strategies. Do you use one method of generating traffic or do you use 10 methods?

Do you get it? You need to implement as many traffic pathways as possible, so that you get visitors from all kinds of programs and websites. Your traffic can’t rely on one source… you need to use as many traffic sources as you can!

It’s not done with using as many traffic sources as possible… You still need to convert the traffic into signups for your opt-in list. We are talking about the signup rate! It makes a huge difference, imagine you have a signup rate of 5% instead of just 1%… You’ll get 5-times as many subscribers to your list!

That leads us to tracking, testing and improving your Opt-In page. Split-Testing is the magic word here. Setup 2 Opt-In pages… one with a different headline or a difference in any other part of the site. Soon you’ll know which of your 2 pages performs better than the other one. Then you take the better one and Split-test it against a new version again. Do this until you reach an opt-in rate of at least 3%.

Once you have mastered this most important part of listbuilding, you can move on and split-test your traffic sources. You’ll soon be able to dump the non-performing sources and concentrate on those that suck in the signups.

It’s not hard to do this… all it needs is hard and persistant work. Your increased results will push you to test and track even more… You’ll soon be able to determine which traffic sources to rely on and how you have to design your Squeeze Pages. That leads to not only getting more signups for your current list, but also in knowing what to do when starting your next project. You’ll know that you need to avoid certain things or that you need to implement certain strategies… Tracking will give you the knowledge to build up a multi-million dollar online business! You’ll become better with every Squeeze Page that you design and you’ll become better at knowing what you need to implement for backend profits.
