Essential List Building Hints and Tips
By: Jullieanne Whitney
Whether you have been thinking about starting your own
Ezine or already publish one, then you know the value
of building your Subscriber database.
Your Ezine or Newsletter is, without a doubt, the best
way to gain excellent credibility and increase your
revenue. Think about that a minute.
Would you like to spend hundreds of dollars advertising
all over the Internet, or would you like to suggest and sell
to your own warm market? A warm market of your own
Subscribers who know and trust you!
The choice is obvious, but how does one go about
creating and building an active and responsive Subscriber
list? Let's find out!
= Ad Swaps =
Search for other Ezines and Newsletters to swap ads
with. Most Publishers are happy to do an ad swap. If
your list is smaller than theirs, you may offer to run their
ad again or a few more times to make up the difference.
= Subscription Forms =
Add a subscription form on every page of your website.
If you can offer a free download such as an eBook or
free classified ads, your chances are higher of gaining a
new Subscriber. Be sure to state you do not share
their name or email address with anyone!
= Directory Listings =
Submit your Ezine or Newsletter to as many Directories
as you can. This includes Directories which will send
you new Subscribers in return for you running the new
Subscribers Ad. Here's a few recommendations:
- Ezines-R-Us Directory & Ad Placement Services

- MyWizardAds

- Totally Cheap Ads

- Ezine Ad Helper

= Purchased Subscribers =
There's a few different places where you can actually
purchase Subscribers. Most will offer the choice of
single or double opt-in. True, one should use caution
with some of these types of purchased lists, however,
others are very credible and send you high quality
Subscribers who have opted to receive your publication.
Here's three more favorable websites to check out:
- OptinCity
http://optincity.com/r/?i=15
- List-Opt
http://www.listopt.com/cgi-bin/clickaffiliate/click.cgi?ezines
- Hip Lists - Office Lists
http://www.hiplist.com http://www.officelists.com
In addition to the above mentioned, keep in mind that
building your Subscriber list is one thing, but keeping them
is another!
Remember above the term "warm market"? Don't
expect all your new Subscribers to know and trust you right
from the start. It takes time. Do include little personal notes
in your "Editorial" section. Nothing to extreme, but, for
example, if your niece is going to graduate, mention that in
your issue. In the following edition you can include a little
blurb about something nice or funny that happened etc.
Finally, let your Subscribers know you care, and you're
there to help them in any way you can. If you can help
them with a problem, they're sure to stick around and
refer you to their contacts!
