1. Promote your email list through an affiliate program. At http://listpartners.com
you can easily set-up your own affiliate program at zero cost. You then just pay
your affiliates a small commission per subscriber, or credit them with advertising
impressions in your publication.
2. Use a "pop-in" box on your website to collect leads. It's a proven fact, those
little boxes that pop-up when you visit a website can be up to 3,800% more effective,
says Brian Garvin of Optinlightning.com . I have to agree! For an example pop-in
box: http://optinlightning.com
3. Flaunt those testimonials and build credibility. Testimonials can play a huge
role in how prospects repond to your advertisement. In fact, I'm sure I've made
purchases based on a product's testimonials alone.
Adding a few testimonials to your web page or ad copy is one of the cheapest,
most effective ways to immediately boost reponse rates. Try it. (Don't forget your
order form!)
4. Take advantage of the free list-building services. There's a ton of these
programs floating around the 'Net right now, and most work on a simple multi-level
referral system. Not only do these generate more subscribers, but they also help
to save you money!
My personal testing shows that Wes Blaylock's new system is the most effective
- available 100% free at: http://www.roibot.com/w.cgi?R39995_Sdrive3
5. Harness the power of referrals. This is a powerful strategy that should not
be overlooked. Referrals are a very receptive bunch, mostly because they have already
developed a small level of trust from the third parties recommendation.
You may want to try offering a free eBook or free report to people who refer
new customers/subscribers to your website. This can be easily accomplished with
the free automated traffic generator/referral service found at: http://letemknow.com
