One of the most common methods to build your list is by writing articles.
You write articles that your target audience want and then submit these to
article directories. The advantage in this type of strategy is that in every
article you write, you are required by the article directories to complete
your resource box. So, whoever reads your article clicks your URL at the
end which will lead them to your blog or website.
The process simply involves the following:
- Write your article.
◊ Make sure you demonstrate your expertise about your
business or topic.
◊ Ensure you create a resource box at the end of your article,
including a brief detail about yourself and your business site
together with its URL. This URL should point to or land on a page
on your blog or website with an opt-in form. This is where your
readers will sign to subscribe and add themselves to your list. So,
ensure that you have
created your opt-in form before driving people to your site or
landing page.
- Submit your articles to popular article directories.
◊ The reason for this is that webmasters and readers looking for
content will visit the site of popular directories.
- Post articles as often as you can.
◊ You may post articles twice a week, once a month or even daily.
You decide the frequency as article writing can take a bit of your
time.
◊ You may also take the option of having someone else to write for
you or you may buy articles that you can legitimately label as your
own using a few simple tweaks.
I hope you will use this easy, free and reasonably priced list building
strategy to help promote your blog or your message.
All the best!
