List Building Tip

Cathy Henry · 10-16-2009, 11:21 AM

This is a little tip that I use on one of my business sites that I thought I would share. It may not work for every niche but it made a big difference in my business.

I used to get just a TON of emails everyday asking questions about the service I was offering. I had an optin form on my site but they just were not signing up even though I offered a freebie.

Then I got an idea. Most of the questions I was receiving were the same questions and a request for a quote. So I did a bold move. I removed ALL contact info from the website. They no longer could email me with their questions. Instead I answered those questions and included a price list and made it into an ebook. Then I changed the optin form to say...download the FAQ and price list. :)

Now instead of receiving one or two opt ins per week I am consistently getting 30-40.

As I said, it may not work for every niche, but give it a try. Leave out a key piece of info and make them download it through your opt in.

Let me know how it does for you!

Nice work Cathy, something I'm learning at the moment is the fewer choices you give a visitor the more chance there is that they'll do the one thing you want them to do :-)
