You know you need to build a mailing list of regular customers or people you'd like to have as your customers, but do you know how to begin list building? The first and most important part of list building is getting your potential customers to submit their email address and other important details to you.
Secondly, you need to generate as much traffic as possible to your actual website.
How else will they see your product and learn more about you if you can't get them to your site? The secret (not really such a secret) is to have a form that will not only allow them to put in their information but also will take them to your site.
The big question is still the same, however.
How do you convince them to sign up for your mailing list? Offer a Bonus! People love getting a bonus or knowing they're getting something free, particularly if it's something of value to them.
If you've successfully found your target niche, your readers may be very interesting in an e-book or free email course on a top that interests them.
Make sure your bonus is great and something that's worth their time and effort.
You may even consider asking them to take a trivia or a survey telling you what interests them the most.
Having them take surveys is also a great way for you to learn more about your readers so you're able to develop a relationship with them.
Sell Your Bonus! While giving your readers a bonus will help your list building, you may have to sell them on the idea that your bonus is great and something they have to have! Don't be afraid to build it up and give it plenty of praise.
Let them know how lucky they are to be receiving your bonus!
