Hi,

I have a blog about credit cards that gets about 1500 unique visitors/month. It has some good rankings at Bing and Yahoo, %92 US Visitors.

Do you advice me setting up an Aweber form on my blog for building a list?

What should i give them as a free gift? I need some advices.

Thank you.

    Sounds good. Use aWeber or GetResponse - Personally I perfer GR.

    Not sure what you could give as a gift. Reports are good... Probably a report on the "best way to secure a credit card".. as I guess people find it difficult to be accepted.

    I always suggest people build a list no matter what niche. As far as the free gift... Your in the niche not me.

    What's the main benefit that you can offer to them?

    What ongoing information can you provide to help them?

      YES. This is a much better answer than my previous answer!

    Yes, you should always be building a list! And you can do so for ANY niche.

    In your case you can offer a guide/short video on increasing credit score, how to get/request higher credit limits from CC companies, where to find the best promotions when applying for credit cards, and so on. You have a lot of options!

    You can also offer your subscribers some education. Most consumers don't really know how APR works and how much they're really paying on interest on a yearly basis. You can instill fear with a headline like "Are you paying through the nose in credit card interest and don't even know it?" and you'll capture a lot of attention.

    Thanks for advices. I already use Aweber and have some lists for IM niche.

    My visitors usually search for keywords like "payments of credit cards" or "applying to credit cards"

    Look at it this way. Say I am your best friend and I go searching for "applying for credit cards," but I was clueless about the whole process. Think of each visitor like its your best friend that needs your help but they live 3,000 miles away. Put yourself in that mindstate...

    Now go back to your website. What would be the first thing you would want your friend to see?

    What free gift would you give your friend as incentive to get on your list?

    How would you specifically help your friend on a consistent basis?

    Do some brainstorming with this in mind.

    No offence but why are you asking this question if you have a link to a WSO "Link Building Ways Ebook for Beginners"...??? You also have a blog listbuildingways dot com? Seems like a strange question for an authority.

      Thanks for asking. Yes i know list building as i already said in this thread but i only want advice for the gift that i should give to my potential subscribers. I didn't master all niches so it's always good to take advice from any people.

    If I was looking for advice on credit cards I would only give my email out to a site that I trusted, so the terms and conditions about what you do with the emails needs to be clear.

    Also like Janice I find it strange your sig file makes you out to be an expert in listbuilding yet you're asking newbie questions.

    Thanks but i still can't find it strange. It's a simple Ebook for beginners and im surely not an expert but i know list building well.

    Anyway, as i told i'm only looking advice for a gift from people that are expeirenced in credit card niche I'm still waiting for fresh ideas. I think this will be helpful for anyone.
