The 4 Crucial Things You Need To Do To Build Your List

Online marketing may have developed a sudden surge these past few years, but many in the know have felt its rise even way before then. As more internet based businesses are established, the need to develop new marketing skills and knowledge, based on this new medium have arisen. More and more marketing strategies are being discovered and developed to cope with the changing face of the business world.

The demand for online marketing tips and strategies have drastically grown and a new form of business has been born, “Internet Marketing Strategies“.

Whilst there are companies out there that are all too eager to help your site and business build a clientele for a fee, there also many ways that can spread the word about your site’s existence in a more cost free way. One of these is Opt-in email marketing, also known as permission marketing.

Opt-in marketing requires the permission of a willing customer to subscribe to your marketing materials, materials that take form in newsletters, catalogs and promotional mailings via e-mail. The more opt-in marketing mail is sent, the more chances there is to bag more and more sales. To do this, you must build a list of all those who want to subscribe to your opt-in marketing list.

From your list, you will get your targeted customer, this is a good list since they already have shown interest in what you have to show and sell since they have willingly signed in for your list. These are the people who have liked what they have seen on your site or squeeze page and have decided they want to see more and maybe even purchase what ever product or service that you and your company has to offer.

Many people would think that building their lists would take hard work and a lot of time to build and collect names and addresses. This is not so, it takes a bit of patience and some strategies but in doing so, you open your site and your business to a whole new world of target marketing. Make the effort to take your business to a new level, if traffic increase and good profits are what you want, an opt-in list will do wonders for your business.

There are many sources and articles on the internet available for anyone to read and follow in building a list. Sometimes they may be confusing because there are so many different ways. Different people have different approaches in building an opt-in list, but no matter how diverse many methods are, there are always some crucial things to do to build your list.

Here are four of them.

The 4 Crucial Things You Need To Do To Build Your List

1) Make Sure You Have a Call to Action (Linked to a Squeeze Page preferably) at The End of EVERY Piece of Content.

While some may say this is too much, try to remember that each and every piece of content placed on your website or blog should provide value and make a good and captivating first impression because the majority of your visitors arriving for the first time WILL NOT hang around very long (on average you have only 15 seconds to capture your visitors attention – Time.com Data March 2014)

If somehow your visitor finds something that he or she doesn’t think is relevant to their search or interests, you have more than likely lost them forever, so it makes sense to have some form of system to capture name and email. Most email service providers (I use Aweber)  have a facility which their members can use to design very effective opt-in pages to do exactly that.

2) As mentioned in the first tip, make your homepage sticky, that is you want your visitor to stay! 

You need to have well written, informative and easy to read content. Dependent on what your site is all about, you need to capture your visitor’s attention IMMEDIATELY! and have them do what YOU want them to do and not what they THINK they want to do.

Make your website useful and easy to use. Do not expect everyone to be tech savvy, make your graphics good, but don’t over complicate it .

3) Provide good service and products.

A returning customer is more likely to bring in more business. A satisfied customer will recommend a business always. Word of mouth and recommendations alone can rake in more business than an expensive ad. As your clientele roster grows so shall your list. With more members on the list, the more people will get to know about what you have to offer.

4) Keep a clean and private list.

Never lose the trust your customers have entrusted you. If you provide e-mails to others and they get spammed, many will probably unsubscribe to you. Remember, a good reputation will drive in more traffic and subscribers as well as strengthen the loyalty of your customers, so get list building TODAY!

To Your Success.
