    Hi there!

    I'm developing a website about writing web content and would like to learn more ways to increase email subscribers.

    Any tips to increase our email list? In your own personal experience, what are the most effective ways to develop an email list?

    Thanks a lot!

    Celine

    Give good value content away for free by letting people opt in in order to get the information. Thats how you will grow your list. Furthermore you could buy solo ads or do adswips.

    Every market is different, but in my experience the best way to build a list is to give away free high-value content in exchange for their email address. With your market, you probably already have good content on your website for them to read... you can add an opt-in form that offers them a report that teaches them some advanced secret about writing web content that you "can't post online" or something like that. Get them to sign up, deliver that report to them, and then keep the relationship going!

    the best way is to give an attractive giveaway product and to promote it in sites like this one that have a lot of traffic!

    Hi Celine,

    Try implementing a subscription form on the right place in your website. According to my experience, bottom of the website (footer) is the right place to place the subscription form. Not only the bottom, but do experiment in different places of your website (homepage and other pages).

    If you invest some time to search and read around this forum, you will be able to find many members sharing different methods of attracting traffic back to your website. For me personally, I feel that it will be more practical to stay FOCUS on mastering one traffic generation method at a time.

    In order to get quality traffic, you will have to either invest your time or money. Different method will require different amount of work or money before it will be effective. I think the most practical thing to do is to decide on the amount of time and money that you are willing to commit into your marketing campaign. Once that is decided, it will be easier for you to choose a traffic generation method that is suitable for you.

    Even when the traffic flow start to remain constant, I feel that the next thing to do is to test different component of the squeeze page so that you can tweak it till you can the best converting squeeze page. Seems like a lot of work but I think it is definitely worth the effort when you start to experience good opt in conversion :)

    Use the Comm100 Email Marketing software and use the free tips (e-book) to make your newsletter campaign perform better. Try it and compare the results with other services. But don't forget to enable double Opt-in feature. Then only your email listing will be containing the valid email address's which are duly approved by the user.

    Use your content and create a report. People love lists, so create "7 Ways to do XYZ" or "5 things to avoid in XYZ" something like that will always get a lot of downloads.

    You have to be careful with email lists, even if the visitors subscribe, all it takes is a few complaints, and you could be in trouble with your ISP or host

    Solo ads. Of course it might cost a bit but it's worth the money if you know how to do it. Why? Because solo ads/newsletter marketing is targeted whereby your promotional materials are sent to a list of people who are actively looking for info/content/products relating to their niche. Hence, you'll get a quality and responsive list.
