Best way to skyrocket my email list?

Hey Chantal,

what is your niche?

For MMO/Internet marketing niche you could try Solo ads and Facebook PPC.

If your niche is outside Internet Marketing, then Facebook PPC should work just great.

Hi there...my niche is weight loss....I tried Facebook PPC yesterday...I'm very new at all of this. I only ran a campaign for a day with a $5 budget (just wanted to test out the waters)...anyways, I didn't get any sign ups at all! I've been reading about solo ads but I don't really know anything about them. Are there any other types of services that can send traffic to my squeeze page? I'm so new at this and have so much to learn...

Google is tough to deal with, but you can try Facebook, Yahoo, Bing(miscrosoft) and Twitter.

Hey shantal if your in need of leads and traffic.

For opt.in or conversions go with Solo Ads.

And always go for the #1 guy on the market.

Best results with him through many deals just my advice . and don't buy rubbish traffic always avoid low quality services here on forum. ( you can know this if it's cheap and reviews are fake)

Have you considered getting traffic organically? I mean, you really don't want some random dudes to come to your site, just because you've paid for ads, right? Instead, try posting relevant advice in niche forums and blogs, engage with your social buddies, etc.. and watch your traffic grow, the right way.
Good luck!

Don't give up on FB ads so quickly because the same thing applies to other paid traffic as well. Take some time to learn a little about copy and creating ads. Then it is a case of tweaking until the conversions go up. I am assuming that you are operating in a buyers market of course.
Most people have to work on their ads before they get the required results. Knowing what does not work is just as important as knowing what does.

Chantal,

From what I know, people don't usually sign up for Newsletters on new blogs. I'd give it a while before you try that, because people don't know you or your blog, so they don't know what they'll be getting. I'd also guess your blog is very thin on content too, so there's no real incentive to sign up for a Newsletter.
Try doing what others do, the time tested proven way, and create a free eBook or give away software in return for signing up to your list.

I'm sure you can find some free software like a weight loss calculator, or meal planning software, or even a shopping planner. Otherwise write a free 20-30 page eBook in return.

My experience of Facebook Ads when I promoted various affiliate promotions, is that it takes a while to get going. One day is actually useless. You need it up for at least a week at absolute minimum to get any meaningful statistics from it, and I'd even go for two at minimum. Cut your daily budget if you can't afford $5 a day for two weeks, and get a free giveaway written.

Really try to narrow down your target audience on Facebook too. I heard a tip a while back, that involves creating your ideal person in your head, and to tap into their mind and figure out what they like and what they do. Give her a name, an age. For instance, you may decide your typical American overweight female likes Oprah Winfrey for instance. So in your Facebook Ad, also choose people who are following Oprah. It's just a silly example, but you get what I mean.
If you target USA on Facebook for instance, go online and Google the most overweight states in the US and target them instead of country wide. You get the idea.

Hope that was useful.

1. Set up a squeeze page
2. Run a PPC ad to get traffic

It's that easy.

Now you've just got to find a product to sell, write copy for your autoresponder, and start testing.

With your new website, I felt a cold in the spine when you mentioned that you advertised on Google adwords, you can easily be suspended after spending lots of cash. I prefer creating quality content to advertise your website either through blogging, article marketing and using keyword research to do the articles and blogs.
This will help you rank on Google organic listing for free without spending much. later on you need to learn the adwords advertising before venturing because it can be the most expensive and intimidating to start with

Solo ads
1. Set up a squeeze page
2. Run a PPC ad to get traffic
3. Give a free report and build you list

Facebook ads
1. Set up a facebook fanpage
2. Run ppc facebook ads
3. Drive your traffic to your Fanpage
4. engadge with your fanpage leads giving out good information.

Go to clickbank, clicksure, Cj get a high converting product and sell to your leads.

Chantal, I took a look at the site in your sig.

Nice design. Lousy content if you are looking to build a newsletter list.

Everything on the site is promoting your product. There's nothing to indicate that signing up for anything on this site would be anything but more of the same.

People may watch infomercials, but they don't subscribe to a channel to get them. Especially when it's the same product over and over again.

I'm not trying to be harsh here, but I think you have bigger problems if you really want to build a newsletter.

On the other hand, this site might work well for direct selling if you can target the visitors well.

You could develop a landing page geared purely on selling the free ebook as an intro to a further "secret", which will be revealed by email and on the blog. Send your PPC traffic to that page, rather than the home page.

Even better, write the copy on those landing pages for specific groups. The copy that might appeal to this "big guy" in his fifties is not the same copy that will appeal to a twenty-something new mom. Your plan might work equally well for both, but we need to be approached differently.

You've chosen one of the biggest, most competitive markets in the world to cut your marketing teeth on. Unless you have Jenny Craig's budget and infrastructure, a frontal assault on the whole "weight loss niche" has zero chance of working. Taking on slivers of that huge market, on the other hand, could make a one-man band rich...

What exactly are Solo Ads?

I'm going to be trying FB ads my self soon, everyting that I've learned, is you want to go pretty targeted, usually with custom audiences and using specific software like Social Lead Freak or several others like that.

Hello,
Solo ad is the best way for paid traffic.If you are really interested then Pm me and I will help you.

Hi Chantal,

I agree with Warrior Riki Stein - Kim Roach is someone that has excellent knowledge of how to drive traffic to websites.

Also there is a gentleman who has alot of experience sending traffic using ezines (newsletters) that are devoted to the specific niche you are in. His name is Charlie Page.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You could approach blog owners within your niche who get lots of
traffic and ask them if they would like to send out an ad to their
email list in exchange for a fee.

Of course you'll need to check whether they are building a list first.

But you can usually find this out by looking at their blog to see if they
offer a newsletter or some kind of free gift in exchange for an email address.

Or you could approach YouTube channel owners who get lots of
views to their videos and aren't really marketers or anything just normal
folks who are just good at getting views to their videos.

You could always approach them and ask them if they could place
a link within their videos that points back to your squeeze page again
in exchange for a fee.

Hope these help you out.

Hey Chantal,

You've got some really good ideas here. But I'm going to talk about something else.

1. You're squeeze page say's "Subscribe to my news letter for weight loss tips and tricks. That's not going to cut it for someone to be excited about giving you their email address.

2. Use benefits not features. How are they going to benefit by signing up. Give them about 4 curiosity benefits in the FREE report you're going to give them.

3. Remember the features are describing something but the benefits your prospect are going to attain is what's going to sell it.

.

If your give your blog visitors what they are looking for when they land on your site I can assure you whether new or not they'll join your email list if you offer them more of the same.

Giving away freebies usually leads to a lot of people signing up JUST to get the freebie.

Sounds great in theory having loads of people on your list BUT they opted in for the freebie not necessarily for the follow up emails and a lot of them won't open them.

Smaller lists filled with people who opted in because they really wanted to be on your list perform far better than big lists filled with people who have little interest in receiving emails from you.

I am in the same position and recently just started to build my list in the health/fitness niche but I have a more specified sub-niche…So far I have built my list to 40 people using YouTube Traffic and Bing Ads PPC…

Although I am just getting started my list is highly responsive and am looking forward to the relationships I will build with my list. So far things have been a struggle to start off but each passing day I learn more and more….I know that I will be able to make a constant income once I scale this up and keep tweaking and testing…Keep working hard…And I'll keep you updated on my progress and any tips I have during my journey!
