Of course to get results you need to have a reasonably big list, but you can start getting results with a list of as little as 500-700 subscribers if you have a responsive list. How do you really build a responsive list? The key to success, as in all marketing, is to target your market and build your list with subscribers who are interested in your newsletter and the offers you are making.
Here are 5 ways to help you:
1. A subscription box on your website: The best way to build you list is to have a subscription box on your website, and drive large amounts of targeted traffic to your site. Visitors who sign up will be some of your most targeted subscribers and ultimately, your most responsive readers. When you set up a subscription box you will be putting your sign ups on autopilot.
2. Swapping subscription boxes with other related businesses: swapping subscription boxes with related businesses is a great method for getting responsive subscribers. Your partners' website should have a reasonable amount of traffic and the business should be related to yours. Be careful not to swap subscription boxes with your competitors.
3. Google Adwords: This method of advertising will give you some of the most targeted subscribers, who will really be interested in your offers. It will be well worth the investment. The trick is to use targeted keywords to bring in the most responsive subscribers.
4. Article distribution: This is another powerful way to bring a lot of great subscribers to your newsletter. You can put a link in the bio of your article for your squeeze page to encourage sign ups. The way to do this is to make sure that your articles attract people who will also enjoy your newsletter. Try to make these articles very informative so that they will make your reader curious to know more and sign up for your newsletter
5. Advertising: You can put classified ads on related websites, with a good amount of traffic. You can also advertise in targeted ezines or even do ad swaps. Advertising can be a little expensive but in the right places will bring a lot of good subscribers who will over time convert well and become your customers
