List Building Tips: 3 Keys to Building a Responsive List

I’ve read my share of wild claims like “Send one email and make tons of money…”. If it was that easy everyone would have a massive list and be a millionaire. The most important list building tips I can give is to build a relationship with your subscribers. Once you have a list, one email doesn’t guarantee any anything. The secret isn’t building a list but building a responsive list. Your subscribers have to trust and believe in your opinion. Once they respect your opinion, they willingly check out recommendations.

1) You need to build trust with your customers and the subscribers on your list. It’s easier to build trust when you’re knowledgeable in the niche. If you’re winging it people will figure it out. If you don’t know the subject then outsource.

2) You need to find out what your list subscribers want or need. Create a poll to find out what your list and your market wants. For more general topics, visit forums in your niche and you’ll see the same questions asked all the time. It’s a source for future content. Participate in the forum and let your posts act as a small advertisements for your expertise and it will generate traffic since listbuilding never stops.

Make sure your link to your landing page is in you signature file. The great part about getting subscribers this way is that they respect your opinion.

It’s best to be in a market that you’re knowledgeable about, value and profitability of a product or service are very important. They’ll hit the unsubscribe link if you recommend send to many promotions. Do research into the product or service before you recommend and make sure it’s worth it to you to promote as well.

3) Reach out Surround yourself with people who’ve succeeded at listbuilding. Make friends and reach out on forums or send an email. These are people that have experience and can stear you clear of pot holes. People love to talk about what their good at, their successes and failures. Also, they’re more than willing to help people with lots of passion. While there are many ebooks or products available, there is nothing like getting a first hand account.

List building doesn’t happen overnight. There’s no magic bullet, its work but once you’ve had a few successes you’ll want to do the work!
