What's the best way of building/obtaining a targeted mailing list

5 replies
Hi, my business is in high end travel, and all my revenue (potential!) is on affiliate sales. Now in order to push this I'm doing a newsletter to which I need to find a large number of targeted (UK based) people to send it. How would I go about doing this? Any advice much appreciated...

    Taking active part in a forum relative to your topic would be a great start. Build up some reputation and the traffic will follow.

    Don't limit yourself to one forum, try as many as you can within the same micro-niche and build up your reputation as an expert.

    At the same time you can create some videos on the topic and submit them to sites like Youtube. These videos can either link back to your opt-in page or to your website's relevant pages, only link to the content you know the visitor would be responsive to. It isn't completely necessary to send someone looking for targeted information straight to the opt-in of something that won't assist them much.

    Also, consider writing insightful, keyword rich articles to help drive targeted traffic towards wherever you need.

    Those are pretty much the basics that'll remain effective for a long time.

    Offer free products to your site visitors. And promise them that they will be receiving lots of free stuffs. They will always come back, after all they have nothing to lose. People like freebies a lot.

    Offer free high quality reports written by you and give Master Resell Rights. (You can make some additional money putting your affiliate links inside)

    I used to run an article directory and one thing I saw many people in your exact position do was write articles about specific vacation destinations.

    In their resource box, they would put a link to a squeeze page that would offer them a free downloadable guide to the destination that the article was about. The article was just a teaser. The real info was in the guide they would have to opt in to to get.

    There's your list of highly targeted prospects.

    Destination Articles->Article Directories->Resource Link->Squeeze Page->Autoresponder->List->Newsletter Of Highly Targeted Prospects->$$$

    It's like takin' candy from a baby...
