Email List Building Tips for Beginners
List building is one of those affiliate marketing topics that everyone talks about and everyone knows they should be doing, but few affiliates actually “get around to it”. It can be slow and frustrating to build your list, and the payoff isn’t immediate. Even still, a list that you’ve built and properly maintained is an asset that no one can take away from you.
If you’re just getting started, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances of success.
- Work with a reputable email marketing company. aWeber, for example, is one of the top names in the business. Click here and you can test drive their services for $1.
- Offer your users something for confirming their email address. You can double or even triple your confirmation rate if you offer your users a bonus download for doing so.
- Ask, ask ask! Regardless of your promotional method, it’s vital that you ask for the signup. Sticking a tiny signup box in the sidebar isn’t enough. Shout it from the rooftops.
- Value your users’ trust. Remember that people can opt out or report you as a spammer whenever they want. Make sure you treat your list members with respect. You’ll get more long-term value out of the list and you’ll avoid jeopardizing your relationship with your mailing company, too.
Email marketing can seem like a long, hard road, but it’s one of those things you’ll be very glad you did once you have a list you can email freely. Sign up with a company like aWeber today and get started!
