What is your favorite list building technique?

9 replies
Ive heard all the buzz surrounding Frank Kern's List Control, however I don't have $2,000 to devote to it right now..

Does anyone know of other resources that might be worth a look regarding the building of my list?

Many, many thanks!

    Do you have your own site at the moment, and what niche are you planning to target?

    I would say that creating a product by doing an interview with someone who already has a list is a great way to get started. Turn this into a report that you can give away, and then go from there.

    Offer some great value to your site visitors (example: a free product) onto a simple to sign up squeeze page.

    Yes Iv'e joined a monthly subscription training program here in the UK. The training comes from a guy who does the SEO for Paramount Pictures. I have to say his phase by phase approach is streets ahead of the something like Traffic Secrets which I bought for $997, the blueprints were basically spend on PPC.

    I expect to have 500 on my new list in a month with EMMC following just 10 steps. If anyone wants details let me know and I'll make them available.

      Wow! Thank you all for the tips.

      @Andrew - Yes, I do have a site InternetCE (com) and I have a list building site as well ceMemo (com). Any advice on how I might be able to improve either would be a great help.

      @Michael - We offer free reminders for continuing education (always a bit of a pain for folks) and a free instruction video via our primary site. I have another idea in the works freebrokerwebsite (com), as every agent (insurance, real estate, whatever..) needs a site and it would offer incredible value to offer it for free. Im still a ways off on that one though

      @Medway1 - Heck Yeah! I would love it if you would share any info. That would be so great!!

      Thanks again every one!

    The quickest way to double your list size is to optimize your opt-in form. Most of them underperform...improve your opt-in rate and you can get double the subscribers for the same traffic...without spending any time or money on marketing.

    A $2000 program? Uh, no thanks.

    Best way to build your list is this . . . buy it. About $800 will get you all the leads you need along with software to be able to send to them (or use mailchimp or whatever).

    Seriously though, the quickest boosts to my list have always come from JV's with other people.

    For example

    I got my first several hundred new subscribers from writing a decent ebook and asking a list owner to endorse it. I still do that all the time (write books), and I invite other people with QUALITY info to contribute to my newsletter and membership sites so that they can grow their list.

    Also - have a good squeeze page. I won't tell you what mine is to avoid too much self promotion here, but...

    It has a great name that's easy to remember and easy to spell (and hard to misspell), it all fits on one page, and it has three bullet points of advantages that subscribers get when they join my list. To be google friendly the squeeze page has links to other sites that I also own (the site has a PR4 from google and it's a one page squeeze!)

    Whenever i do an interview or get any other publicity opportunities I always mention my squeeze page.

    Here's a video I posted recently that shows how ANYONE can get a great squeeze page with a GREAT NAME for nearly free using aweber and any registrar WITHOUT any HTLM or even any kind of website being built (no affiliate tricks and nothing for sale - just a great idea that had to be shared):
