List Building Tips: How to Build an Email List Like the Pros
If you’re running a website without building a listing, you’re missing out on a lot of potential paying customers. If you’re just getting started in internet marketing, it’s best to start building your list right away.
Here’s the thing, when you build a good relationship with your list, conversion rates are much higher compared to traffic going directly to your website. As you know, higher conversions mean bigger paydays. Plus, you can continue to promote that person as long as they’re on your list. With a website, a person can visit your site, then leave and be gone forever.
So, in the short article, I’m going to talk about how to build an email list like the pros or “gurus”. It’s quite simple actually, you just have to know the ingredients. Here are the ingredients:
Squeeze page with free giveaway
The first thing you’ll need to do is set up a capture page or, if you have a website, a pop-up opt-in and autoresponder service. Sending traffic directly to a capture page tends to lead to better conversions than trying to get people to opt-in to your website because there are fewer distractions.
Auto responder with email campaign
Next, you’ll write your email sequences. Start by writing 10-20 emails. If you’re new, you probably have no idea what to write these emails about. An easy way to know what to write about is to ask your subscribers a few questions. Ask them what they want to learn more about, what their goals are, what challenges they face within their niche, etc. Once you collect enough responses, you’ll have a better idea of what kind of information your subscribers want.
targeted traffic
Next, you need to send a large amount of targeted traffic. In my opinion, the best sources of targeted traffic are articles and videos. Both of these methods provide an opportunity to start building a relationship with the people who subscribe to your list.
After that, you need to provide a constant value to your subscribers. This can be achieved by offering valuable giveaways and providing quality useful content.
You will also need to focus on building a relationship with your list. By asking and answering questions, you increase reader activity and build a relationship with your list. Don’t try to sell during the initial stages, just focus on building the relationship with your list and keeping them active.
Finally, you must send emails frequently. At least 1-2 times a week. This will keep your readers interested and thirsty for more information. This is a hotly debated topic, but my experience shows that as long as you provide useful information to your list, they won’t get a high frequency of emails.
