How I Build My ListOne of the most common questions I receive from my clients and regular blog readers are always related to email marketing. Questions like how I build my list and how can they possibly get a strong following through email subscription is really what most people want to know, so I’ve decided to take up on this subject. Well, as you may know, there are really tons of ways you can start your own list building. However, the really best way to start is with the use of free means that are available to you. By employing such techniques first, you can soon assess if you will still need to use other paid methods, especially if the free ones has already gave you tons of great results. To help you get a better idea how I build lists of my own, here are some great techniques I used in the past using free tools available online. 1. Use your existing social network. One great and effective way to start branching out and finding people to be on your list is by using the connections you already have in your social networks. For example, you can send out messages to your contacts in FaceBook or MySpace, telling them about your new venture and if they would like to receive updates from you. Chances are, a lot of them will, as long as you give them the right approach and introduction. 2. Tweet. Twitter is really one of the most powerful free tools available in the market today for free. However, using it in building your list might be quite tricky. Just like regular online marketing, using it to create a following will need you to take a couple of things in mind, like avoid spamming, tweet consistently, and make sure to make connections. Keep these three basics in your mind and you’ll surely find Twitter as an effective list building tool. 3. Become an active forum member. As you may already know, people flock in the internet to find solutions for their problems and other things they need. And one way they can easily do that is by becoming a member of forums related to their needs. This is why you should also be in those circles, always willing to lend a hand to the ones in need. In time, people and fellow forum users will gain some familiarity with you, so you can easily entice them into subscribing to your list. 4. Promote it using your email signature. If you’re already doing other interactions with other people on a regular basis, you will surely need to make use of your email to contact them. So, why don’t you take advantage of these interactions and promote your list with your every email, right? By simply adding a signature that promotes your list, you can subtly tell people that you have a newsletter that they can join just by clicking on the links provided. These four are just some of the techniques I used in my own email marketing ventures. Hopefully, these can help you build yours.
