Get Results With These List Building Tips

By Janise Locklier


Every business, whether it is offline or online, wants to grow with time and achieve long term goals. One aspect that becomes really important when you're building an Internet business is list building. It's much easier to establish your business as an authority if you work on creating an email list of targeted customers. Your long term business goals will be easier to meet when you have a base of customers or prospects that are ready to take action for you. This article will offer some helpful tips for creating a targeted mailing list and finding ways to improve your opt-in rates.

People who sign up to mailing lists often have reservations about the security of their private information. With people becoming thoroughly annoyed with the amount of spam they already receive, it's no wonder. Find a way to let your prospects know that their email addresses won't be spammed or sold to spammers, and that their privacy is secure with you. You can direct your prospects to a specially created page containing a privacy policy. Your policy should let them know their private information is safe with you and that you respect the trust they've shown in signing up.

Audio testimonials are more effective among audiences today if you can get them. Additional testimonials from those who subscribe to your list, like professionals within your niche, can also add another level of credibility. If you're running a newsletter and you're looking to grow your list that way, then in order to increase the sign up rate and get more people to get on your list, you should let them into your archive and have them access your previous newsletter issues so that they get an idea of the kind of quality you offer. Once new people have an idea of the type of content they'll be receiving, they'll be far more likely to sign up for your mailing list. If they like what they see, they'll sign up and you'll have extra subscribers.

Finally, see if you can show your target visitors some benefits of signing up to your mailing list. If you're offering them a targeted newsletter on a particular topic, let them know what they get out of getting on your list. The more clear you make this to your prospects, the easier it will be for them to take action. People will begin to subscribe on impulse if your benefits are worthwhile for them. You can appeal to that impulsive side of them by highlighting the benefits and advantages they'll receive by subscribing. Your opt-in page should remain uncluttered, but a bullet point list is a great way to show them those benefits.

In conclusion, email marketing is one the best ways to build and enhance your relationship with your subscribers/prospects/customers. Developing a mailing list filled with targeted prospects means you'll always have a welcome audience for your marketing efforts. Remember that every subscriber on your list is able to help your business in some way.
