Seven Insanely powerful Resources To Build A List – How to build an email list
If you’re wondering how you can be a successful Internet Marketer like the “gurus”, then you want to first build a list.
How to build a list is crucial, there’s no other way to go. If you do not build a list of your prospects, there’s no way you can communicate with them in future and increase sales of your wares or services. An intelligent online marketer always makes sure that there is a good lead capture page preceding any offer pages on the product sales page. The lead capture page is a simple page with a few important details regarding the product / offer, as well as a simple signup form that asks for a name and email address. By having a nicely built lead capture page, one that is simply in layout but effective and appealing in the few sentences on it that describe the product, crowd who visit the page become more inclined to see what it’s all about and provide their email address so they can be contacted.
This email address that’s captured through the signup form is an astonishing tool. Every internet marketer should treat their email leads like gold because it is these same email addresses that you can then send your product description to, offer incentives and other giveaways to, send promotional offers to, send sales offers to, and much much more.
But,
There is always some work to be done before any online marketer can simply advance and start exhibiting wares to a successfully captured lead.
You see, folks who sign up to avail anything at all on the internet, always do so because they are interested in or were drawn by the content of the lead capture page at the time they signed up. So when you email them, they are expecting to hear about the product they saw described on the lead capture page. If you dispatch to them anything that doesn’t relate to what they saw on the lead capture page, they will unsubscribe from your list immediately. So remember to always build a connection with your prospects first, and then take things further one stage at a time before you publicize anything to them that isn’t directly related to what they saw on your lead capture page.
Having a lead capture page is great, but getting traffic to it is more important.
Here are some powerful methods and resources to drive traffic to your lead capture page and build a list:
1. Sign up to be a member of forums and mailing lists, and leave a link to your lead capture page in your signature.
2. Set up a Fan Page for your product or service on Facebook, and make sure a link to your website is visible in the “Info” page of your fan page.
3. Submit your site’s link to Google Buzz where the public as well as your friends can see it.
4. Write articles about your niche (e.g. if you’re into dog training, then write articles about dog training) and unique versions of these articles to as many quality article directories and free submission blogs as you can.
5. Submit your articles as “documents” to document sharing sites like Scribd and Calameo as well. Document Sharing is immensely powerful and can drive hordes of traffic to your lead capture very very quickly. Document sharing sites are also very well-liked by Google, so the more documents on these directories there are that contain links to your site, the more rank Google will assign you and give you a chance to show up in Google’s Organic Search results.
6. Writing articles, blogging and document sharing has everything to do with building high PR backlinks to your optin page. Make sure you also spawn one-way backlinks to your lead capture page from other locations on the web, such as link directories. Google likes to see quality backlinks to your web site and gives you higher rankings in return, which results in more traffic coming to your site, and eventually more and more prospects signing up to your list.
7. Submit to your sales page to as many search engines as possible. Your webpage should be submitted to Google, Yahoo! and Bing at the very least!
There are a few more means to snap up traffic to your lead capture and build your lists, but these would be few of the most insanely powerful ones. So follow them religiously and you will see your lists increase in size by leaps and bounds!
