Hello, Warriors

I'm new to internet marketing and also new to this community forums. I came across a video and it give me some unique information on how to bring traffic to your website or your affiliate offer. One that caught my attention was Building a email list, So I researched it and found some valuable information but I still have a few head scratches.

I have a question..
What's the best way to build a list fast?

Giveaway a free digital product after they subscribe?
Or any more tips on how to build a list fast?

Thanks,

    There are many choices and options, and your best way you are going to find out after testing. You do need proper people in your list and not just everyone. Do you really wish to have a large list without targeted people? Or is it more worth to have truly qualified buyers in your list? Maybe 10 people are worth more than 10000 of the other type.
    • You would setup your autoresponder or follow-up email marketing system, whatever it may be
    • You would setup your thank you page, or sales page where people are going to review your product or service, and eventually buy some
    • You would set up the landing page, which you are going to advertise on your marketing campaign
    • You would use some of the marketing networks let's say Facebook, and run a PPC or other type of campaign, so that people land on your landing page
    • You would offer them an incentive to get some free information, PDF book, or a check list, bonus or anything attractive
    • Your advertising should clearly say what they can expect to get, and by your advertising you should basically pre-qualify the leads
    • Run the campaign in the cheapest possible manner
    • Collect or capture the more leads you can capture
    • Let your autoresponder answer to them and follow-up with next emails
    • Don't try to sell too much, give your leads much of value and nourish them over the time
    • Think of establishing a relation, be much personal, let them also connect to you on Facebook and other social networks
    • Give them much more than they expect, give them bonuses and tips, and valuable information
    • Respect their privacy and immediately unsubscribe if some of them request it
    • Build a new product or a service, connected to the previous one, sell it again
    • Exchange with other people who have the mailing list, get some free traffic
    • Search for good new affiliate offers or sell your own products or services
    • Grow your network of your relations, and remind them each in a while about your services

    Thanks,
    Giving away an electronic product works well. You need to think of it like this - what reason do you have for the visitor to join your list? If you can figure that out, you will get a ton of emails.

    Also the easy way to build a list fast is by paid traffic like ppv, ppc, etc.

    It depends on your goals with the list. You can offer a freebie, and you'll get a lot of opt-ins, but the quality will not be the best. If you create a product and sell it, then you'll have a list of buyers. You will have less subscribers, but since they have already spent money with you they are more likely to purchase something again.

    best way to build a list fast is to pay for traffic.

    Build a squeeze that converts, does not necessarily need to give anything for free.

    Monetize your funnel with a product that will pay for the traffic you are sending to it. I prefer an affiliate product with recurring commissions.

    Not only will you build a list fast, you will essentially not have to pay for the leads instead you will be making money while building your list.

    So, Paid traffic>>>>>Squeeze page that converts 40%-50% optin rate >>>>Offer that converts and earns more than you spend on traffic.

    It's what I do.

    If you want to build a list fast, one option is to create a giveaway product, create an image of the product either a 3d book, or images of CDS as the product etc.. Then promote that giveaway on facebook ads and direct them to a squeeze page to signup to receive your free product. Many people use this method, while not all use facebook but the free product + squeeze page is used often.

    One of the best ways to build your list is to go with paid ads like pay per click. Make sure that you do work with the big names like Google and Yahoo.

    Some people will even recommend that you build your list with solo ads. I would not do that cause the quality of the subscribers will be a lot less better then the subscribers you will get from your pay per click marketing campaigns.

    I really like thetacrm response.

    Pretty much you to

    1. Find a good traffic source for your niche.
    2. Build a Squeeze Page (Use an auto-responder to collect the emails, Aweber, ect.)
    3. Offer a giveaway or some for value.
    4. Follow up with conversions.
    5. Split test variations in your ads and your squeeze page to see what converts the best.
