The Secret To A Huge Mailing List – EXPOSED

17 | Posted In Marketing by David

This is the secret to list building that they don’t want you to know.

  1. Find or create something which people in your market will find valuable or helpful,
  2. Give it to them in exchange for their email address.
  3. Do this a lot.

Now you know. If you tell anybody else this secret, be sure to whisper.

P.S. Oh, just one more thing. It also helps to have a mailing list solution worthy of building a big list with. and for that, I recommend Aweber. That one isn’t any secret because most people worth their salt like Aweber, too.

    Finding and creating 'something' useful for readers and convincing them that it is useful to them, is the difficult part ?

    Loved your post on ProBlogger and followed the link here and will subscribe. I heartily agree about the efficacy of freebies. My subscribers have almost doubled since I took a couple of chapters from one of my out-of-print books, turned it into an ebooklet available only to subscribers and put a picture of the cover and a description of it at the end of every new post.

    Hi David,

    I’m curious about step #3 – “Do this a lot.” Do you think it’s good to change up the free offer every once in a while to try to capture new visitors? Or perhaps have various free offers on various landing pages, each of which speaks to a specific reader need, and all of which put people on your list?

    Thanks!
