List Building Basics - 3 Personal Power Tips That Will Really Help Your List Building

Chris Kent · 01-13-2011, 02:54 PM

It's essential to understand many of the list building basics when you first get going because if you get one wrong then you could be scratching your head as to why your entire campaign is failing to bring in the money that you thought that it would. In this article, I will share with you three of my own personal power list building tips that help me to support myself online.

Split Test Your Resource Box

By now you probably know that the resource box at the bottom of any article that you write or content that you create is critical if you want to get the prospect to not only click on your link but also get to your opt-in page all nicely warmed up.

You need to get to the point quickly in your first sentence and really grab their attention. Then sell them a massive benefit and ideally throw the word "free" in somewhere to get the clicks. Make sure to tell them to click or visit your site - it sounds obvious but if you suggest an action then many people will follow through.

Once you've done this, stick with the same resource box over 20 or so articles. Then try another one and see which ones wins out. Because you've tested at least 20 of each then you can be sure to get an accurate idea.

Facebook Fan Page

A fan page is a great source of traffic. A lot of people talk about putting your opt-in page on Facebook directly but I personally think that is selling too hard. Facebook have a very low tolerance for pure marketing and your account is easily banned and your hard work poured down the drain.

You are better off publishing your articles to Facebook. Over time you will build up a following and each time you publish a new article then you will get instant hits. So long as your content is quality then you will get sustained and ever increasing traffic over time, many of whom will click on your article links and eventually get into your list.

Click Tracking Is Good

The first time people see click tracking, they often turn it off. That's because click tracking produces ugly urls that can be seen in the lower left hand corner of the browser when they are hovered over.

While this may seem bad, your prospects will quickly get used to it if you use it right from the start. It really is not as big a deal as it might first seem. It is definitely worth doing too because click tracking will help you develop your email writing skills over time because you will have learned which strategies work and don't work when it comes to trying to get your readers to click.
