Have you heard people say the “money is in the list”? If you have been in internet marketing for a while you can’t help but hear it. But do you really need a list to be successful? The answer is a resounding YES, because with a list of a decent size you are building a ready made customer base for the future. When you have built your list it will save you time and money of having to find new customers through paid advertising.
There are various ways of how to build your list easily. Here are a few tips of the cheapest ways to do this.
Your Own Website.
The first thing you must have is your very own website, where you can send your future customers. Once they are there you have to capture their name and email addresses with an opt in form which you have set up on the website. Entice your potential customers by giving them a free report or ebook to get them to sign up. If you have never set up a website or an opt in form before all this may seem a bit scary . There are loads of videos on the net showing you how to do this. But if you want a step by step, hold your hand type of training I would try Optin Profits. Now that you have your website and opt in form set up, it is time to drive traffic to your site. Here are some 3 ways to get started.
1. Marketing Using Articles.
Article marketing is a free way of getting traffic to your site. This way once you get your articles published you can forget about them and still receive traffic for years to come. The more articles you have published the more visitors you are likely to receive, so don’t just write one article and expect floods of traffic. The more you do the more you will get back. It seems a bit daunting at first but after you have got your first couple of articles published and see the results, you will find it a lot easier to write your articles. Just be yourself when you are writing and people will realise you are not just copying other peoples words.
2. Blogging
You already have a place to start blogging if you set up your website using wordpress . There are lots of blogging sites that you can join. You can start blogging on the product you are promoting but make sure you remember to add a link to your website as this is the whole point of blogging in the first place. If you write blogs that interest people then they are more likely to give your site a visit to see what you are promoting. So start blogging as soon as you have your website set up and get those visitors flooding in.
3. Forums
You start by finding forums that are in some way connected to the product you are promoting. Browse through the posts and if see if you can answer any of the problems the people on the forum are having then let them know. This will have people believing you are an expert on the subject, (even if your not). When you leave your reply on the forums you add a signature at the bottom with your website url included. If you post something of value in the forum you will get visit to your site from people eager to see what you are promoting and if it can help them solve their problem. If it can you may very well have yourself a new customer. You should capture their name and email address with your opt in form, as they will want to see your free report or ebook. If they don’t buy from you this time they may want something you promote in the future. Do not go spamming on the forums by just replying to any post just to get your signature seen. You will be seen as a nuisance if you just post for the sake of it, with no answer to a persons problem. So therefore nobody will be clicking on your website url.
Ok, that is 3 ways to start promoting your website for free and building that all important list for a wealthy future.
