No tiresome, over-bloated, boring intro here, let's get straight into list building technique 1.
List Building Technique 1: Create a newsletter series that can be drip fed to your readers over time. This will not only help to build a relationship with your prospect but also to establish yourself as an authority in your niche.
The key here to make your content and more specifically newsletters stand out amongst the crowd.
Most marketers idea of a newsletter series is just a flash email that is solely text-based and not formatted to stand out and really give the reader some value.
You could make a far more unique and valuable newsletter series by creating simple webpages using a newsletter template and adding valuable video content and specific advice on the topic they are interested in.
Give your newsletters some personality and make it stand out.
Here's the one key advantage to creating HTML newsletters and hosting them online.
You can add an opt in form to the newsletter itself!
This means when your newsletter gets passed around (which it naturally will if if's full of valuable content), then you have a resource for the readers to subscribe to your newsletter should they so wish.
That one technique alone can add quite a large percentage as to the number of subscribers who are signing up for your newsletter series.
List Building Technique 2: Free forum posting. Forum marketing is a widely overlooked traffic generation strategy that has the potential to send a tsunami of targeted traffic to you squeeze page/s.
The key to forum marketing is to be an active member of the community and provide value in your threads and posts. This way you will receive a much warmer welcome than if you were just posting promotional links everywhere.
To find a forum in your niche just type the name of your niche followed by forums into the search engines.
Example: internet marketing forums Make sure you join forums in your niche that receive a large amount of traffic and appear to be very active. The best forum I know of in the internet marketing niche is the warrior forum.
Make sure you set up your "signature" within your forum profile. This will allow you to create a hyperlink to any site you choose.
Every time you contribute to the forum in the form of a thread or post, your signature will be displayed. This creates not only back links to your site but can drive organic traffic to your site through your signature.
