The right tips for list building can make an amazing difference to the return on your efforts. Here are some personal tips based on my own experience list building. If you're still learning how to build traffic to and monetize a list then these should really help you a lot.

Send Your List A Variety Of Media

Subscribers become bored if you don't mix it up - to some extent you have to "entertain" them.

An easy way to do this is to send them a variety of media and not just emails. For example, one day you could send them a pdf report of about 3 or 4 pages. This would be just a little longer than a regular email but your readers would see it has having higher perceived value and an act of generosity on your part.

Another good idea is to send them an interesting YouTube video. Rather than send them directly to it, it's better to create a simple web page with an embedded video that will be of interest to them. Above and below the video, make sure to add a compelling one-liner and direct them to click a link which will, of course, be your affiliate link!

Don't Always Need To Offer A "Bribe"

Many people know the free ebook offer or some other incentive to subscribe and call it a bribe. But what few say is that you don't always need such a bribe. In fact, a bribe can be a bad idea in some ways because you will attract a lot of freebie seekers who aren't interested in buying from you. This can be a problem with autoresponder solutions where you must pay more money for having more people on your list.

Instead, try selling to potential subscribers the value of your newsletter. Sometimes it can be a good idea to call it an e-course, for example. If you show that your course has value, particularly educational value, then many people will subscribe because you are not having to bribe them or trick them. You are instead telling them what to expect and so your subscribers should be genuinely interested people and not just freeloaders.

Twitter

One great way to use Twitter to list build is to put your directory articles on there i.e. create a new tweet for each new article. Then, use the Twitter search facility to find people who are tweeting about your niche. Follow them and hopefully they will take a look at your profile, check out your articles and eventually opt in.

At first, you'll hardly get any new subscribers from Twitter. But over time you will get more and more regular traffic and even a sizeable following. Organic Twitter growth is slow but it is worth it so I suggest you start by creating an account today.
