I've built my autoresponder and landing page...Now what?

13 replies
I have set up my site with just a START HERE page, a MY STORY page and a FREE OFFER landing page. I have my opt in at the bottom of all three pages. I've set up my autoresponder using ListWire because it's free and I want to understand the concept before I step up to a better one.

This is my first attempt at list building, but the niche is a little unique and general. I'm currently writing a "Survival Guide" for my niche to sell and I will eventually expand it into an online course also for sale. Right now, all I'm giving away is a report in exchange for the email opt in.

So, other than dumping the link on Facebook, how exactly do you launch a list building campaign? I'm still using the search function for ideas, but if anyone could speak directly at what I've done so far, it would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information, please be specific. Thanks!

    KASEIIc,

    Unfortunately there is not a short and easy answer.

    You've gotten started, which is great. Now comes the tricky part which is bringing people who are interested in your report to your opt-in page. You need to look at different ways of bringing targetted traffic. You have many many options: Social media, Content marketing, ads (PPC; Soloads, other adds), etc... If you have deep pockets, adds will be the fastest.

    Here are a few great resources about building email lists that may get you in the right track. Look through them and see what ideas resonate best with your audience and with your abilities

    I hope they get you in the right direction.

    After you get enough traffic, you need to start looking at conversions (visitor to subscriber); but do not worry about this until you get enough traffic.

    Test your funnel / pages...

    I'd personally use Facebook Advertising because you can target exactly who you want to with it, and you can weed out people who don't meet your income requirements etc.

    Set yourself a small budget to test with; you should have split testing already setup, so you can drive traffic to your split tests and see which ones perform better, then when you find a winner that way, you put more money into the ones that perform better and turn $1000 in advertising into $100,000

    The next step is bring people to your page and test. Then based on results, decide what's the next step.

    Like a lot people say:

    You always pay for traffic. With money or with time. Wich one can you spend?

    Maybe this thread can help you get more ideas:

      Hey KASEllc,

      Congrats on getting things going !!
      You need to start getting the life blood of your business going...TRAFFIC !


      You could buy a few Solo ads to get the ball rolling. As someone suggested here throw a couple of Facebook Ads going to a Fan Page or directly to your Landing Page.

    Time for the fun part which is to get targeted traffic to
    opt-in page to learn what's effective for getting subscribers.

    Launch a couple of videos and build backlinks for them.

    Then put link to opt-in page in description box.

    Always be willing to test and tweak.

      So I ran a Facebook ad and my promoted post reach 4238 people with 23 likes and one share. Does this tell you anything because other than it being just over 5% effective, I'm not sure what I should take from this.

      Also, how do you promote the page as opposed to a particular post? I'm not much of a writer so the epic posts will be few and far between.

      And, how do you know which solo ads are snake oil and which ones are legit?

      I appreciate any help offered.

    Hi Kasell!

    Congratulations for setting up your site and building your own list.
    You can opt to promote your website either for free - writing content, SEO, blogging or paid ad (fast traffic).

    Email marketing can be a profitable marketing strategy if done correctly. If you learn how to apply and use it, you will see the significant benefits compared to other form of marketing tactics.



    Hope this help!

    You should consider investing into some training. To figure this out on your own will cost you a lot more than it costs to figure it out on your own.

    And Indeed email marketing is very profitable marketing strategy if done correctly. If someone can teach you how to apply and use it, you will have a significant income!
