How To Build An Email Subscribers With The Right Email Marketing System
You heard this many times, the money is in the list. In fact, many online and affiliate marketer gets their business up and running continuously when they started building a list. Why having an email list is so crucial in the online marketing world? Well, once you have a list, you can make money anytime you want it to by simply sending or promoting your offer to your targeted audience.
I used to think that building an email list is a complex process and very difficult to start off with, but after having gone through the process, it’s not as difficult I think it was. In fact, not only the methods that I used get me more opt-in and sign-up, I saved a lot of time and money by just doing few simple techniques. Check out these simple proven techniques for building an email list…
Provide Value To Your Target Audience
It’s simple, provide them the value that they’re looking for to solve their problem instantly but more importantly this must be something that is free and irresistible not to have. This piece of irresistible value is what is going to get them stay with you in the first place. Your main goal is to get them to give you their email address in exchange for what you have to offer and trust me, it has to be free. It can be something as simple as free ebook or report , promo code, PLR product or create your own content.
Important point to note, they don’t care who you are, or your business is, they couldn’t care less! All they want is to get hold of the free value that you are offering.
What Not To Do!
Do not pitch your offer that forcing them to join or buy! You do this, then you can say goodbye to those potential leads. Rule no. 1 — Never ever pitch them on your business on the front end. Remember, your #1 goal is to get their email address.
Create And Capture Leads Using Opt-In Form
Now you know your target audience and what to offer to them in exchange of their email address, next you need to start creating and capturing their email using an Opt-In Form. Your opt-in form has to be simple and easy to fill in and always include a column for them to fill in their names. Although many prefer only email, I would suggest having a column for names as well because it shows a sense of respect to them when you start emailing your list. How do you feel when someone addressing your name in an email? You feel being respected right? So, be personal with them and they will stay with you for long.
If you are new to creating an opt-in forms and not sure where to start, you can create using a free list management system i.e Sendsteed by LeadsLeap. Not only it is free to use, but it is one of the best list management system in my opinion because of the double opt-in feature that this system has to offer. You can use Sendsteed both for your blog and your capture page.

Setting Up Autoresponder & Email Marketing Campaign
Autoresponder plays a significant role in the success of an email marketing campaign. It saves a lot of time by fully automating the method of communicating with your leads. There are many list building and email marketing services out there but I personally want to recommend you to use Sendsteed because of the many great features that the system has to offer.
Personally, I think having the right systems and tools for your email marketing strategy is key. You can apply all the techniques that you’ve learn on how to build your list but if you are not using the right systems and tools, you ended up getting dissapointed over and over again. Therefore, the most important elements in any systems in my view are:
- Systems or Tools Functionality — It has to be user friendly and easy to understand how to navigate
- Email Service Deliverables — Your email goes directly into your list email inbox and NOT their SPAM folder
- Customer Support — Available 24/7! The good thing about LeadsLeap customer support , it’s the owner of the system that will directly attend to your needs
- Features — Keep on adding new features without charging extra cost to its member
- Pricing — Paying such a small cost but gaining a lot more compared to other list building and email marketing system out there
Deliver What You Have Promised
Before you drive traffic to you blog or your capture page, make sure you have set up your first automated email that contains what you have promised to give out “the FREEBIES”. Once they opted-in to your list, they should receive the free offer immediately or automatically. Then set up your email series if you have any offer to promote. Based on my experience, some may directly buy it and some may not. That is why the email series is key, because by engaging with them through your email series, you’ll be able to nurture them into buying your offer.
IMPORTANT POINT to take note when setting the frequency of your email series, it’s a good practice to skip a day or two for your email series… You don’t want your subscribers unsubscribed to your list just because they are getting your email everyday or more than one in a day.
You might be asking, what if I have new offer to promote to my list while the email series is still running? That’s the good thing about using LeadsLeap for your list building and email marketing system, you can simply send email broadcasts anytime you have a new offer, update or product.
