One of the best ways to build your email list is by using
landing pages. These web pages are just like mini sales pages. You can use them
in conjunction with advertising like Google Adwords or search engine traffic
from engines like Google. Article distribution can also bring in good traffic.

How it works: the searcher clicks on your ad link and goes
to your landing page. Then they sign up for list, via your website subscription
box. Your autoresponder will automatically add them to your list.

 

The elements of a good landing page:

  • Headline:
    firstly you must make an attention grabbing headline. You want your reader
    to sit up and take notice. He will then be more inclined to read the
    entire landing page.
  • Benefits:
    after your introduction you will bring forward the benefits of signing up
    for your newsletter. This is how you will persuade your reader to join
    your list.
  • Free
    gift: this is the little reward for subscribing. It helps to offer an
    incentive for joining your list. You can offer one or more freebies. Be
    sure they have value and are targeted to your market.
  • Call
    to action: make sure this is strong and direct. A subscription box should
    be on this page.

 

Presentation:

  • Make
    it look good: it is very important to make your landing page look good.
    This will give your visitor a good impression of your business and
    increase your credibility. People will not want to sign up for a list if
    the landing page looks shoddy.
  • Use
    bullets: bullets are good attention getters. They will emphasize benefits
    and help to persuade visitors to join your list.
  • Be
    personal: always write any sales copy with a personal touch. People like
    this and will be more inclined to sign up with you.

 

Landing pages can be used to build your list initially. They
can also be used to test promotions so that you can build your list quicker and
with the most targeted people. Landing pages will take a little time to set up
properly but once they are done, then you can put your list building on auto
pilot.

 

Another important part of building your list with landing
pages is to drive traffic to it. This can be done in several ways:

  • PPC
    advertising with Google Adwords: this will bring you plenty of targeted
    traffic and you could be getting sign ups within hours.
  • Articles
    distribution: this is easy to do, just write some articles and submit them
    to the major article directories. You will get people coming and using
    them. This will get them distributed , plus you will get valuable back
    links.
  • Search
    engine submission: you can use Google’s optimizer to make your landing
    page search engine friendly
  • Blogging:
    You can set up a blog on Google’s blogger.com or WordPress and write short
    daily articles targeted to your market. These will link to your landing
    page and encourage people to sign up for your newsletter for more
    information.
