Proven Techniques For Building A Responsive List
by Diane Hughes

We’ve all heard those who have Internet business-success stories proclaim, "Nothing will make you as much money as building a responsive list!" The trouble is, most people won’t let you in on their secrets for building these goldmines. In reality, it isn’t all that hard to do.

I’ll be the first to break the silence. Below you’ll find the proven techniques you need for building a responsive list. In step-by-step format, you’ll see exactly what actions to take - and in which order - to develop a subscriber base you can generate revenue from for years to come!

STEP ONE - Find Out What Your Subscribers Want

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make when trying to build a list is to not understand their subscribers. Once you’ve decided what topic your newsletter will revolve around, take time to interact with your prospective subscribers.

Ask them what they want to read about. Find out where they are struggling. Research their needs diligently. This is the only way you’ll be sure to provide what your subscribers really want.

One great idea is to use www.surveymonkey.com to conduct a survey. Ask several questions in order to find out as much as you can about your subscribers (or future subscribers). These questions might include:

1) Are you male or female?
2) What is your occupation?
3) How long have you [been in business, owned a pet, designed stained glass windows, or whatever relates to the topic of your ezine]?
4) What are the three areas you struggle most with in regard to [the topic of your ezine]?
5) What information have you been searching for, but been unable to find?
6) What article topics would you like to see in [name of your ezine]?

And any others you can think of.

STEP TWO - Have Something Of Value To Offer

Once you’ve gotten the information you need from your subscribers, don’t waste it! Use the information to offer something of value.

Did you find from your survey that most of your subscribers are professional women with children who are interested in timesaving tips? Then give them tips! Not worn out, everyday, ordinary tips. Take the time to create or research innovative tips designed specifically to help professional women with children live more productive and stress-free lives.

If you deliver a newsletter that’s disappointing in the eyes of your readers, you’ll soon find your subscriber base will dwindle down to nothing, so go all out!

STEP THREE - Promote, Promote, Promote!

Yes, you’ll want to put subscription boxes throughout your own website to drive subscribers to your list. But don’t stop there. There are virtually TONS of ezine directories and ezine announcement lists online that can dramatically increase your number of subscribers.

Here’s a short list. You can quickly search any search engine to find more ezine directories.

http://www.e-zinez.com
http://www.inkpot.com/zines/
http://www.ideamarketers.com
http://www.list-a-day.com

STEP FOUR - Be A Dependable Resource

Word of mouth spreads quickly about newsletters and ezines that actually offer solid, dependable content and resources. Make sure you are one of them!

With each issue, take time to do your best work yet. Offer original articles or new reprints (not articles that are months old) plus resources that you have checked out yourself and approve of. Your subscribers will soon develop a sense of trust and loyalty and will repay you for your time by buying from you.

A FINAL WORD OF CAUTION: DON’T endorse every new ebook, software product, or affiliate program that comes down the pike. Be selective. Remember, once your subscribers realize what an honest and true publisher you are, they’ll gladly trust your opinions, purchase those products you selectively recommend, and refer your ezine to others they know.

10 Mind Busting Ways To Gain More Orders

1. Automate your online business to save extra time for marketing and advertising. You could use autoresponders, time saving software, etc.

2. Host a free hall of fame or museum on your web site. It should be related to your target audience. It should attract people just like offline ones do.

3. Write your ideas on paper; bad and good ones. Don't get an idea and take the risk of forgetting it; it could be your future income or success.

4. Design your ad copy to target your visitors goals, dreams and desires. Allow your product to attract their emotional and physical needs.

5. Create a small treasure hunt. Allow people to get a discount on a product you sell if they find a certain graphic somewhere on your site.

6. Have visitors sign-up to receive free promotional merchandise. It can be hats, bumper stickers, cups, or anything with your web site print on it.

7. Increase your traffic by creating other web sites that relate to the latest new fad. You just advertise your main web site on your fad web sites.

8. Load your site with a wide variety of content. Your site will become known as an area of regular reference for many of your visitors.

9. Interview famous people that your visitors want to know more about. Publish the interview in article or audio format on your web site.

10. Tell people the purpose of your web site. When they visit a web site and have to figure out what it's about, they may get frustrated and leave soon.

10 Cool Ways To Attract People To Your Website
by Keith Gloster

So, you've completed your first website and are now anxiously waiting with anticipation for all those targeted web site visitors to arrive.

"If you build it, they will come." right? No!

Building your web site is the easy part. Promoting your web site and establishing your online presence requires a whole lot of patience and creativity to make your site "stickier".

Here are 10 cool and creative ways to keep people coming to your website again and again.

1. Give people a free subscription to your e-zine. Almost everyone is publishing a e-zine nowadays so it's important to give something extra with the free subscription. You could offer a free gift or advertising when people subscribe.

2. Provide your visitors with free content. Your content will be more attractive to your visitors if it's up-to-date or original. You could also offer people the option to reprint the content in their e-zine or web site.

3. Offer a free online directory. The directory could be full of interesting ebooks, e-zines, web sites etc. If people find your directory to be a valuable resource they will visit it over and over.

4. Give your visitors a free ebook. You could also include your own ad in the ebook and allow other people to give it away. If you don't want to take the time to write one, you could ask other writers permission to use their articles.

5. Hold free online classes or seminars. They could be held in your web site's chat room. The idea of "live" information will definitely entice people to visit your web site. You will become known as an expert on the topic.

6. Give visitors a free entry into your contest or sweepstakes. The prizes should be something of interest or value to your visitors. Most people who enter will continually revisit your web site to get the results.

7. Let visitors download free software. It could be freeware, shareware, demos etc. You could even turn part of your site into a free software directory. If you created the software, include your ad inside and let other people give it away.

8. Offer free online services or utilities from your web site. They could be search engine submitting,copy writing proofreading etc. The service or utility should be helpful to your target audience.

9. Give free consulting to people who visit your web site. You could offer your knowledge via e-mail or by telephone. People will consider this a huge value because consulting fees can be very expensive.

10. Give your visitors a free membership to your online club. People want to belong to something, why not your online club. You could also give away a free e-zine for club members only.

Use these 10 simple marketing tips for your website to keep people coming back for more. Create your brand, Build trust and establish your online presence.
