Getting Traffic To Your List | List Building Secrets
Getting traffic to your list is obviously critical but you now have a secret weapon. Your list itself! Or at least, what you created to tempt people to sign up to your list.
You now have a bonus!
It doesn’t matter whether you have created just a simple tip sheet or a full 5 week course. You now have, in effect, a mini-product of your own!
Concerned at all about adding affiliate links to Squidoo lenses, Hubs, Ezines, Forum posts or anything for that matter?
Well, now you don’t have to be! Just point people back to your site or blog and get them to opt-in to your list via your bonus offer!
Likewise, with Social Bookmarking sites like Twitter and Facebook or Digg, Propeller and Reddit.
No more slaps, for spammy content!
I was going to write a little section about each of these but I now don’t see the point as I’m sure you get it already.
Whenever you submit to any of the free method sites just link back to your own site mentioning your offer.
“Free guide on ___________________”
I’ll add some more examples in the finished guide but I’m sure you get my drift.
A couple of other traffic generating methods are worth mentioning though, before we wrap up.
PPC marketing. This could possibly considered an ‘advanced’ technique in that you would be paying for traffic directed towards a free offer (your bonus) in order to get people to sign up to your list. You would then hope to make sales off the ‘back-end’. It’s not technically difficult, if you understand adwords, but it obviously carries risk. However if you have already tested that your list converts to buyers, the extra traffic a PPC campaign will bring could well be worth it in the long run.
List Swapping. This marketing technique is unique to list builders. And note, I am NOT talking about selling your list on to spammers. Rather if you come across something, a guide or a tool, that your list would like… you could send them over to the owner’s site where they opt in to their list to get it.
If you can arrange for this to reciprocal, all the better!
OK, I may do another post on some odds and ends and maybe some more tips. But it’s likely I’ll leave those for the actual guide.
If you have any comment or questions on this series of ‘List Building posts, please feel free to add them.
I’ll aim to get the completed guide available within the next couple of weeks and I’ll let you know how you can grab it.
In the meantime, I hope you have enjoyed the series, got something out of it but above all that you have taken action!
