Hi Does anyone have any advice on how to build a large list of targeted and responsive ezine subscribers? Most of my internet sales so far come from people on my ezine list but it is quite a small list and most of the subcribers are not very responsive. I am guessing I could increase sales dramatically with a larger list that is more better targeted to my target market. Would appreciate any advice Thanks
Offer something of value, participate in forums, craigslist where your targeted audience hangs out. and use a squeeze page. Make sure your site is optimized for the search engines. submit a sitemap. participate in all those internet giveaways. where you submit a product, you get subscribers and sell them something for a low amount and build from there providing good information, trust me you don't want those parasite freebie seekers.
Thanks, I really need to generate traffic i will try these techniques, any other tips from anyone out there?
You should join the warrior forum as list building is not what DP is about...I highly recommend Jimmy D Browns www.listandtraffic.com if you can afford it, he is the best list building expert there is.
Use PPC and send traffic to a squeeze page. If you know the value of a list subscriber by working out on average what each subscriber is earning you then you know how much you can bid. You could also promote a product on the landing page and offer an email signup at the bottom for more information.
