Additional Great List Building Tips

Once you have started your list and you now have subscribers you can now build momentum and get more creative in getting more subscribers to your. You are already providing value to current members so use them to spread the word as word of mouth is a very good advertising tool.

Three ways of providing more substance to your site is by adding a membership site, create a competition amongst your members and set up a forum. As well as providing a benefit to your current subscribers you also want to generate momentum and get your list even bigger.

Let’s say your current members are avid members then set up a membership site that makes them feel even more valued by offering them a greater return than offered already. Depending on your niche and what you plan to offer in your member site is where you set your membership fee. It can range from as little as $5 to 100s of dollars. But I suggest you start low and as your membership base grows then you can charge more. The most important part of your membership site is the security features so do your research and find a good script and be prepared to pay for one although you once again not a lot as you should be able to find one for less than $100.

Create a competition amongst your current members to continue building your list. Find a good reward for the winner and add an extra line to your subscription box with the referrers name so you are able to ascertain your winner. Get your list excited about what they might win, it maybe a years subscription to your membership site or a free audio file of an interview you may have done. This way not only do you win by your list members advertising to their lists and getting results you are creating a viral effect getting your website advertised.

Start a forum is another way of building your list by getting new subscribers. By building a community within your website brings back return visitors, which in turns they are more likely to sign up as a member. Not only are you building your list you are building up your website in the eyes of the search engines.

By building a community you will have a load of people wanting to help out, as human nature as it is there are always people who are happy to help and offer assistance so it will not be long your community will be answering each others questions and your contribution will be limited. Check out howtocorp.com to see how it can work successfully. Once again a good script is an essential part of a good forum and avoid using third party services especially if they are free.
