One of the most challenging aspects of email marketing is growing a quality mailing list. PART #1 There are two basic characteristics of a mailing list: size and quality – Traits that don’t happen over night.Some may be tempted to speed up the process of creating a hefty mailing list by renting or buying lists. This approach is problematic due to the expense involved, the liability (not all purchased lists are legitimate) and a lack of specificity. Also, most email service providers won’t allow purchased lists to be mailed to through their systems. With that, here, are 10 ways you can build your own organic, robust, opted-in list of people who want to hear from you. #1 Plan Thoroughly Many list building tactics flop due to a lack of planning and strategy. When considering how to grow your list, it’s important to identify your target audience and its interests as specifically as possible. This will allow you to cater to your list members’ needs, which will improve engagement and limit turnover in existing members. #2 Manage Expectations Tell subscribers what you’ll mail them (promotions, a newsletter, etc.), how often you’ll mail, and when. Make it clear what subscribers will gain by being on your mailing list and you’ll get a lot more people to sign up. #3 Provide Value Focus on content, specifically providing something of value to your readers. If you want to keep readers around, provide them with interesting information, tips, discounts, special offers and/or giveaways. Include an opt-in form on your website with an explanation of the value readers will receive as a way to encourage signups. #4 Keep it Simple Make it easy for prospects to find and sign up for your email – Put your sign-up form in a prominent place (or places) on your website, social networks, blog, etc. Reference your emails or newsletter in other forms of communication. #5 Don’t Ask for Too Much Information Don’t scare away prospects with lots of prying questions. Collect only the information you need for the list sign-up and leave it at that until you’ve developed a relationship with your list members. Requesting sensitive information such as age or a phone number on your opt-in form can deter people from signing up. Read next 6 tips in FULL POST in my Facebook Fan Page.
