How Do I Build A List ??

That might be your answer...who's writing your copy?

Thats just one way of building a list. The best way is to setup a squeeze page, offering a free bribe the will give people something of value or an answer to their problem.

Next your autoresponder will save their email and you should have a sales funnel setup and monetized.

You should invest on paid ads like fb ppc, solo ads, ppv and wso then complement it with organic free traffic of forum marketing, youtube and seo posts.

Hey, There are many ways you can go about putting together your email list.

You can go down the classic route of putting together a squeeze page to gather your leads email address and offer some "bait" in order to get it. This could be in the form of a free report, a short video series, basically something of value that your potential lead is going to want to give up their email address for.

If you are going about this method its a really good idea to put lots of effort into creating a really good free offer as the subscriber to your list is going to want to open more of your emails in the future if they are really impressed with your offer.

There are other methods that you can use such as simple subscribe buttons in a blog if you have one. Or you could use reveal buttons in your actual blog posts that asks the lead for their email address before they get to see the rest of the article. This method is proving very popular and services such as Leadpages offer buttons called "Leadboxes" that you can use for this purpose.

You could look to create an app (such as a quiz) or gated offer of some sort within Facebook if you have some followers.

You must make sure you get some traffic to your signup pages though... for this you could use lots of methods including solo ads, Facebook ads, click banking, Ad Swaps (once you have some subs on your list) and forum posts etc..

Some traffic methods work better for different niches so it depends what niche you are looking to build your list in.

Its also a good idea to create a sales funnel after your opt-in page to a one time offer (OTO) of some sort (and an upsell/downsell etc..) This will help you claw back some of the costs of the traffic you might have paid for if you are looking to go down the paid route.

For forum signatures.. many forums will allow it but again it depends on your niche. You may have to do a fair amount of Googling to find a forum that permits this, you may also have to qualify for a signature by posting enough posts to actually have the functionality enabled.

hope this helps?

BTW, it helps if your signature doesn't go to a DNS error...as yours is now.

One method is to build a squeeze page and give something away of value for free.

You will then have to drive traffic to your squeeze page in which there are quite a few methods ( Blogging, PPC, Solo Ads, Guest Posting and so on.

Building the list isn't really that hard, it's keeping them alert to your messages which is a bit more trickier.

You need them to think that your an expert in your niche and they need to trust you.

The forum sig method will work if you provide good information in your forum posts.

Everything?? Then maybe you should be giving some ideas.

Be sure to use your own unique capture pages. Be you and give as much value as possible (cool ebook, video or training). Build trust.

Make it all about the prospect/ subscriber. You should be answering their question of "What's in it for me?" They want benefits.

Learn at least a few basic copywriting skills like the first member, sethczerepak, suggests. Maybe start with that course he has on offer in his signature. AWESOME stuff for free.

Keep going mate. Keep learning, applying and testing. Then repeat.

Good luck.

"I have Tried Everything To Build my own list"
Can you tell us what you mean by "every thing"?
but as long as, you provide an answer, i'm sure you haven't took the right action because money is still in the list.

If you're serious, you can check this section of the forum http://www.warriorforum.com/email-marketing/; you'll find great information there.

Always go step by step.

Good luck.

I've been tracking forum signatures with 100% accuracy for some time now.

I get HUNDREDS of 100% free visitors from warriorforum alone lol. (PER MONTH).

Imagine if I bought a solo ad to get like 200 clicks? 200 * .5 = $100.

So, I could say I get $100 of traffic for free from the WarriorForum per month.

(Arguably more, because it's my hypothesis that forum traffic is far superior to solo ad traffic).

So...

Yes. It absolutely works.

If people are not subscribing - change your bait.

Also... The better your posts are... The more (and better) traffic you'll get.

Humbly yours

Find a niche, make a squeeze page for your niche, drive traffic to your squeeze page.
What is it specifically that your struggling with? Is it the traffic?

Thank You Guys, I will Try Paid Methods Like Ad Solo

have you tried solo ads. But for solo ads you will need to have a free offer. This is mostly in the form of an ebook. With solo ads you will get instant leads. Its fairly cheap aswell. Also everything above is extremely valuable info to. If you combine all of this and add some more info from youtube google etc thas enough for an ebook.
Hope this helps

I am getting some traffic by posting on related facebook pages as my fan page.

Create a facebook fan page and post some quality content to it and a link to you blog or squeeze page, then switch to post as your page and find related pages and ensure your posts add value to the topic.

That depends. About half the traffic I get off WF is from non-T1 countries...AKA worthless.

Of the remaining half I would have to agree. Some posts produce super-qualified prospects.

Here's a simplified version of something that you can do to get some money pouring in with email marketing and also to be valuable to the leads that join your list the very moment they opt in.

Now, there's two ways to do email marketing. The traditional way in which I recommend, in which you're actually adding value and the the non traditional way in which your landing page is simply a gateway for them to see your affiliate offer (works but not recommended). Let's me give you a traditional example.

Pre-mail marketing

Do this before you even think about doing email marketing.

Know your niche extremely well (EXTREMELY)

When you have your niche down you need to figure out rather you're going to promote your own product or an affiliate offer. I would recommend your own product to build a buyers email list but if you're just starting out and don't have a product the process is the similar. Create a leadmagnet.

Your Lead Magnet is like a preview and the product you're selling or promoting is the movie and your objective is to put the best preview out there first (the lead magnet on your opt in page) and when the person gets to the download page for your lead magnet what they'll do is consume the valuable and somewhere in that lead magnet you'll recommend them to take the next natural step by buying either your product or the product that you're creating (make sure the lead magnet is valuable <--- extremely important. Value is key to any successful business).

So, create an opt in page for your Lead Magnet. Have multiple opt in pages for multiple lead magnets. Much like a movie preview, it usually takes more than a couple to entice different demographics of people. I usually create 4 lead magnets and the person will consume the first lead magnet and make a choice but in my email series I'll write something compelling in the body of the email and send them the other lead magnets. This way every email is not only giving them something valuable but it's exposing them to the product I"m trying to sell.

Also, on your thank you page after they opt in, make sure to not promote something there. That page is strictly for your lead magnet. Explain what they will be getting and give them the download. If possible I'll recommend you to put a share button on your opt in page and don't have any other tabs on your page. They came for 1 thing and 1 thing only "No Distractions".

HUGE IMPORTANCE... Give value. Your lead magnet doesn't have to save the world but don't give out crap content. This will surely reflect on your business as unprofessional. Don't go out to buy plr and give it away with this traditional method. If you're selling a product on website creating then all of your lead magnets need to be at least somewhat relevant. Make them as relevant as possible. You'll notice in my signature, I have 4 Lead Magnets that I give away and you can see how I prepare them. It's not about giving them a $1,000 lead magnet. It's about being valuable and then give them more value by selling them something.

Every lead magnet that you set up will have the other 3 lead magnets in it's email marketing funnel (or however many you choose).

Remember, quality means a lot when developing a business and there is nothing better than giving away as much knowledge as you can to help another person succeed. They need to know that you're not just "email marketing". They need to say in their minds "that was good they could have made money from this lead magnet".

Do the best that you can, I'm sure you'll have no problem once you get this figured out.

Hope this helps,

Daniel

you can give away something for free like an ebook for subscribing to you

Today, I started Working :
I choose new niche
buying a new domain and hosting
I am trying to build good squeze page with free auto responder
and I will start to join niche forum, editing signature wich going to my squeze page and start posting juicy information about my niche
Any Suggession ???

I would suggest doing solo ads as you can build a list quickly this way. It is also quantifiable. What I mean by that is you could for example buy 150 clicks for $60. If you get a 50% conversion rate, therefore you get 75 subscribers, you know all you need to get another 75 is spend another $60 for 150 clicks.

Hope that makes sense, if you'd like further clarification please message me.

Forum traffic can be worthwhile ? Definitely. But there are a lot of tire kickers just like any other medium.

You definitely need to have at least 3 or 4 good sources of traffic.

Paid is good. Including Solo Ads and PPC.

my friend has a product, it is called elite email marketing academy, his skype acc is bertus engelbrecht, just tell him that you get the information from agus.indradinata (my skype)

Here is a quick crash course on how to build a list.

1.) Offer a freebie or something of value in exchange for their e-mail
2.) Optimize sales funnel build a relationship with prospects
3.) Get Free traffic : Forums, Blogging , Video Marketing etc.
4.) Get paid traffic : Banners, Solo Ads, PPC
5.) Rinse and repeat.

Squeeze page, squeeze page squeeze page. no matter how do you set it.. but still my reply is squeeze page is the key..you set it on your signature or set it to a domain.. or offer free gifts bla bla.. all helps but targeted niche is very imp.

While a lot of the information here on building lists is good, one of the absolute best posts I've read read on the forum regarding list building is located here. It is a simple method that works well if you take the time to implement it.

I've found that one of the things those new to list building struggle with is getting traffic on a limited to nonexistent budget. The thread above offers some excellent suggestions on handling that as well.
