Recently I spoke with a marketing genius who reminded me of three awesome list building techniques.
What he also did was share a few resources that I could use to automate the list building strategies that I am going to go over.
Before I jump in with all this info I want everyone reading this post to know that building an email list is the best way to grow your business. This system of communication is here to stay and hopefully will be around for many years to come.
The simple strategy is create a landing page, collect emails, send info.
So now that I have covered the why let’s talk about the how. the part that everyone gets stuck on when list building. Most of this strategy involves commenting with an offer.
TIP #1
Comment on forums that will exchange an email for a service or offer you provide.
You can find forums like this at https://stackexchange.com/sites
TIP #2
Comment on social media sites. The most effective social media sites to use are Instgram and Facebook. The tip is to answer questions in groups and send people to your optin page so they subscribe to your list. There are two services that automate the process are http://instaeasy.com and http://slacksocial.com
TIP #3
Comment on popular Youtube Videos that RELATE to your cause. Answer questions on the comments and suggest they visit your site and subscribe to your list for an answer. I don;t have a tool for this currently.
The goal is to be helpful and relatable. If you sell cakes. join a cake page or group, find youtube videos on cakes. create a pdf on how to make a cake, and get people to join your email list and use that as the solution to build your list.
