List Building - Top 5 Essential Steps to Effective List Building

List building is critically important in today’s internet marketing environment. To effectively follow up with visitors and give them full exposure to your internet marketing products and resources, you really need to build an email campaign, and opt subscribers into that campaign.

So how do you do it? What are the top five essential steps to effective list building?

Here they are:

1) You must send the bulk of your traffic to a web page that is designed not to sell, but to opt in subscribers to your email list (a squeeze page).

2) You must give visitors to your squeeze page an incentive to opt in to your email list. This can take the form of a free ecourse, free subscription to a useful ezine or online newsletter, or a free ebook.

3) You must give your subscribers exceptional value in your email campaign. Consistently send them great information, both in the email, and in the form of downloadable free gifts.

4) You must bond with your subscribers by sharing key information with them. Ask them questions, and answer them in your email campaign.

5) You must only recommend the very best products. Like the saying goes, if you can’t find something nice to recommend, don’t recommend it!
