List Building Techniques

by Chris Morris on August 24, 2009

When you are looking to start an online business one of your main concerns is going to be list building.  The more people that you have added to one single list, the more traffic and money you are going to be able to generate.  If you are new to the world of list building, there are a few aspects that you are going to need to know.  Take a look right now and find out how you can get started by using these effective list building techniques.

One of the first things that you should look into doing is setting up a few different advertisements.  You can place these ads in various classified ads all over the internet.  Try looking around at the various online classified sites.  Most of these sites are going to be free and they will give you full access to various classifieds all over the world.  The more people that you can get in touch with, the more successful you are going to be.  As your list starts to grow, you can think about outsourcing this work.  There are millions of people that make a living posting various ads in classified websites.  Hand over the tedious work to someone else and get started on another list building technique.

Google AdWords is another great and effective way to build your list.  Now, those of you who might like to try this method need to plan on spending some extra money.  Once you do drop the extra money, you should be able to see the instant results that you are looking for.  If it gets to be too expensive, you may want to try another method.  If you are new to all of this, it is always better to save as much money as you can.

Writing articles is another fantastic list building technique.  If you decide to choose this method, make sure that you pay close attention to your content.  You need to create a headline that will pull people in as well.  From there, you can try to send the articles to different publishers or even directories.  If your content is good enough, you can easily get picked up by various ezine companies.

You may also want to get together with other fellow entrepreneurs online to swap lists.  This will allow you to get many more contacts on your list.  This can either be a great list building technique or an iffy one.  You need to ensure that you swap with someone that is involved in the same business as you are.  You can easily find the right person through an online web forum.  Make sure that you take a look around and make some friends.

There are many more list building techniques that you can try out.  You can create videos or you can post in various forums.  The main thing that you need to remember is you need to find something that works for you.  Start testing out a few different techniques right now.  The more that you try out, the more successful you are going to become!

Listbuilding I do find to be the hardest thing to do. I am also a part of ” Bob the Teachers Autoresponder challenge ” and
I like your ideas about the classified
online sites? I haven’t looked into that
one yet.

Thanks

Hey Brian,

That’s cool of Bob to go through the exact steps he’s taking for revamping his own personal lists, it’s a great idea and challenge for everyone.

Glad I could give you a new idea to use in conjunction with your own list building ideas, it’s great to see what others are doing and finding what you can also do to increase your list size.

Thanks for sharing some great basic list building techniques.
I think the best one is writing articles. While you won’t see immediate results, over time writing articles is a sure fire way to build your list. Slow and steady will win the race.
Keep these great tips coming.

Nice tips, Ch most of the time people do not think about guerrilla tactics when trying to build a least. For example, posting classssified ads, which are targeted, is one way to do that.

About Google ads, I am not sure, because newbies, in my opinion, might have problems getting started. Instead, I would recommend MSN ad Center.

Grading nice and informative videos on YouTube is a great way to build the list too. I do it very successfully. Not every niche is going to be YouTube worthy. that’s what you have to look at what’s going on on YouTube in your niche.
