How To Build A Mailing List-Tips And Ideas
Copyright (c) 2010 C Tyler

Building a mailing list is one of the most important things you can do for your Internet business. Plus it is not as difficult to do as some people think it is. You just need to learn a few tips on effectively building your list.

To help you get started there are some essential steps you need to follow when building a list. Here are the most important steps.

1. Freebie – If you are going to capture the email address and name of a person you must give them something that is useful and free. The first step is to find the free item that you will be giving away and ensure that it is something people will want. It can be a free business tool, software, report, or anything else to entice them to give you their information.

2. Lead capture page or squeeze page – The next step is to build a lead capture page or squeeze page. This is just a simple page where you offer the freebie, provide the reasons it is a good idea for them to sign up for your newsletter and then put a capture form from any auto-responder on the site.

3. Newsletter – You need to sign up for an autoresponder for free and start setting up a newsletter or ezine. It doesn’t have to be difficult, but again provide free resources, videos, articles, and other things a person would want. This will encourage them to stay on your email list after they have received the freebie offered to get them there. Send out a newsletter once a week, every two weeks or even monthly to keep in contact with the people on your list.

4. Marketing – This is a vital step to take once you have done the other steps. If people don’t know about your squeeze page, they will never sign up. You have to market your page, just like you do your online business. This is the only way to get people to sign up and the more ways you use to market, the faster you will build your list.

These are the most important steps to take for building your mailing list. Now that you know how to build a mailing list; all that is left is for you to get started. The faster you get started the faster you can build your list and use it as a powerful marketing tool.

As a marketer I’m disappointed by the overuse of Internet marketing “speak”, is it really necessary? Here’s some recent examples that you’ve probably received in your inbox recently, or something very similar, to illustrate what I mean:

“I’ve done some killer videos revealing some cool traffic tactics”

“Here’s a sneak peak of what’s waiting for you if you decide to take a risk-free look inside this amazingly detailed system”

“Discover How YOU Can Have Instant Access To Your Very Own Line Of Smoking Hot, In-Demand Software”

“It’s Shocking but true… At one time, I was incredibly broke.”

Read each one without the words in bold and they still make perfect sense. The bolded words are designed to “hit your hot buttons” and convince you to buy.

I sure hope we’re becoming immune to this, because it’s getting into an area of gross exaggeration that does nothing to enhance the reputation of the honest marketer.

Why can’t products stand on their merit, without all the over the top hype? Surely if a product or service has something to offer that’s useful in some way, then there will always be a willing market for them without resorting to coercion.

When I see this marketing speak my first concern is that maybe the product is inferior in some way, it’s the same sort of feeling I get when I see these
ridiculous “bonus wars” that flood our inboxes whenever a “guru” releases a new product.

I know it makes me cringe, what about you?

Most people will usually buy from someone they trust, not just because they
provide the most bonuses.

Back to BMT philosophy… I will make every effort to only present good quality, useful products with as little exaggeration as possible. My intention is to allow you, as the customer, to make your own decision about whether to buy or not, without any extra pressure from me.

I also have what I think is a very fair guarantee policy that helps to ensure that any refunds I might give are for better reasons than “It’s a rip-off” or “It’s not everything that the sales page said it would be”

Of course I’m in this business to make money, but not to take money… to me,
there’s a big difference.
