Creating a strong, responsive mailing list is a skill that can be perfected. With a little knowledge and some practice, you can have a list that welcomes your messages.
Tip #1: Offer useful content. Readers are looking for something when they arrive on your site. Find out what it is and give it to them. Doing this always increases readers and builds your list. If readers find you interesting enough, they'll help you build your list.
Tip #2: Image, I've learned is everything. Home Business Success (HBS) has toned down on the sidebar clutter (look to the right). In the beginning HBS gathered readers quickly---then all of a sudden my list building stalled. I reasoned, my design was too distracting, it crowded the minds of my readers. Subtle things like what and how readers view your site can result in greater list building growth.
Tip #3: Communicate with your list members. You've got to pay them some attention so they'll feel appreciated. After all, you have their most coveted online possession, their email address. Treat it with respect.
Besides, a good list will allow for open social networking amongst members. The list members can grow to a level of comfort that they reach out to other members through the list owner. Advertising opportunities may arise from successful list building tactics.
Tip #4: Automate your processes. Your emailings can be so simple if you use an autoresponder. An autoresponder allows you to communicate with your list on your schedule; you decide when you want specific messages to get to your mailing list members. A successful email campaign provides relevant information about products and services your list members want. Catering to your list is like planting seeds for a harvest. Design good looking newsletters and your list members will be happy to open emails from you.
Lastly, if you maintain consistent communication of relevant information designed with eye appeal, you should have no problem building a strong, responsive list. Besides, everyone knows the 'money is in the list.'
