In need of effective list building techniques - ideas will be much appreciated

16 replies
Howdy Warriors,

I have just started getting a list together online with around 30 people (I know not a lot but to me I am happy with that as only started)

My question is what techniques do you guys recommend to capture new subscribers email? I have a powerful lead capture page giving away an automated software. I have tried solo ads to ezines with poor results. My best result was dealing with a fellow Warrior and him doing a mail for me for $37. That seems the most effective. I want to get my list to around 10,000 and my prime target being 'beginner internet marketers'. Where's a good place I can find them?

Does anyone have some other effective techniques?

Thanks,
Alex

    The warrior Forum is prime for newbies, I have had 50 to 100 opt ins per day with threads right here on the forum. The best way to build your list fast in my opinion is with list swaps, there are some good sites you can use to arrange swaps with other marketers in similar situations the only catch is you need to build your list to at least 500 first.

    Hope this helps.

    When you say you paid a fellow warrior to do a mail, you were actually doing solo ads. By far, solo ads is one of the most effective way. It is sometimes called newsletter marketing.

    Why newsletter marketing is effective? Because you are sending email to a list of people who opted into that list to get information on a particular niche.

    So these people are ready to accept sales materials. However, to get good results with solo ads, there are some factors you need to test through trial and error (e.g. Title, email content, length of email etc.).

    List swaps and solo ads are the fastest way to build lists.

    You can also do a Warrior Special Offer with 100% commission or put something in the "make money online" section here on the warrior forum.

    Twitter and facebook can get some traffic if you use the right strategy, but usually this tends to be of lower quality and more time consuming.

    depends on the type of list you want....I have purchased some solos and have a few thousand subs from it.......they do not compare to the buyer list I have from WSOs.

    There are quite a number of effective listbuilding techniques, but for a starter like you, I'd recommend you exploit the free traffic sources and experiment gradually with the paid ones until you get your feet wet in the game.

    When I built my list on making money online ... I went to MYLOT Forum. In this forum, they are many people who are paid for participating in forums but they are paid peanuts. For two months they will be participating and they are paid low and they seem to be happy with it. In one of my discussions, my signature carried something like earn $5 in 24 hrs and I had 90 registrations in just one day ... You can also try

    Some of you mentioned buying solo ads. Where can the best solo ads be purchased?
    Not in the IM Niche but anywhere close to the tech niche.

      To build my list I have used mostly ad swaps and solos. I use safe-swaps and while it costs money it automates, tracks and rates users. This is really easy to use and you have a better idea of the types of traffic you are getting. Worth it to me.

      For free methods I would like to provide you a list but the truth is Dann Vicker materials are really some of the best I have seen (free in his post above).

      Others might also have great free information (check the sig files and see what they are offering) But Dann Vicker was the best I have read so far. By the way he did not ask me to write this - just my opinion.

      Hope this helps

    If you don't have an email list at the moment then I would suggest you use free traffic methods such as social networking, video marketing, article marketing seo and so on and if you have a bit of money available and you want to increase your email list right away then I would recommend you buy solo ads.

    Once you have a few hundred email addresses who have subscribed to your autoresponder then you should use ad swaps to increase your email list further.

    I would also recommend you use safe swaps in order to do buy solo ads and ad swaps as you can see peoples ratings and get in contact with the providers of solo ads and ad swaps easily.

    After a month or two of using free traffic, solo ads and ad swaps you will find your email list increasing up to the thousands however the tricky part is getting those email subscribers to buy either affiliated products or your own products so I recommend you promote special discount product or service to your email list which has a limited time or availability before it is either sold at a higher price or is no longer available to buy.

    If your lead capture has poor results, maybe it's not so powerful?

    I have not seen any one mention the most important part of listbuilding, unless I missed it, is having a lead capture/squeeze page that converts. You could have hundreds of ways to get traffic to your page, but if it's not converting well, your wasting resources. Sure not getting the best out of your traffic.

    Are you testing your lead capture? Do you know how it's converting? Are you testing different versions of it? Different titles? Different call to action?

    Obviously, the better your page converts, the more your going to get from your traffic and the faster your list will grow. Most opt-in's with less traffic.

    Just a thought

    When I build a list, I am more concerned about quality than quantity and then increase it to get quantity WITH quality. The end result is to have a highly active and converting list.

    My main source of traffic is article marketing (my way, which I tell my subscribers and have also posted on here before if you check my other posts), posting on high traffic forums, and my newest secret weapon that I just started Wed. and is working amazingly.

    All of which you can read about......

    Definitely don't give up on solo ads because it's one of my favorite traffic methods. Find out why your ad didn't give you the results you wanted. Was it the actual list, was it your ad copy, was it your landing page? Could have been your sales funnel. Make sure you are buying ads from people that have some good reviews and are proven to convert on a good squeeze page.
