Build An Email List To Brag About

Build An Email List To Brag About:

How would you like to have an email list with 50,000 or even 100,000 people on it? This is an email list that most people would die to have. Getting an email list to this size is no easy task, it will take a lot of time and techniques to reach this number. Although there is nothing out there that says you need 50,000 people on an email list, it does help to make more money and get more traffic to your website.

One of the things that most people do to build an email list is they put an opt in form on their website and wait for people to signup. Although this is a good way to get subscribers, it is not the best way to go about doing it. What you need to understand is that each website will have a traffic threshold and because of that the amount of subscribers coming from each website will vary.

What does this mean to you?

To most people they don’t think about this too much but what you need to do is start creating different websites for the sole purpose of getting subscribers. This is called an opt in page and they work really well to get people to do what you want and hand over their email address for it. This is the key to building an email list that you can brag about.

How To Build An Opt In Page

1. The first thing that you should do is find 2-5 different keywords that you can target and buy domains using each one of the keywords. My recommendation is to either use Market Samurai or Long Tail Pro. If you can get a domain that is an exact match, then I would strongly recommend going for it. In your keyword research you will need to target keywords that have decent traffic (500+ local searches) each month.
2. The next thing that you need to do is setup your website as a one page site with the opt in form at the top, middle and at the bottom. My advice would be to use WordPress to do this because it is very simple to do. On the opt in page you want to say why people should put their email address in and in most cases it is to get a free Ebook or something similar. One piece of software that I would recommend buying is Popup Domination because they also have a killer on page subscription form that you can get.
3. Once you have the page built you should interlink all the different sites together so that they pass on link juice to the others (similar to a link wheel). This is very important to do because you want all your keywords to start to rank around the same time, this is where you will see huge upswings in your subscriber count.
4. The final thing you will need to do is start building backlinks. For this I would strongly recommend using Unique Article Wizard because it will automate most of the process. Just know that you can’t build thousands of links overnight, you need to do this slowly (10-15 links per day).

Once you have your pages built you won’t have to do much other than wait until you get more traffic to them. The reason I say this is because you can’t determine how effective your subscription campaign really is until you have had enough traffic to really test it out.

Testing Tips

Rotate Ebooks – Something that I have seen many online gurus do is they rotate their Ebooks between sites to see which keyword and Ebook make the best team. This will take a little while to rotate through all your sites but it is imperative if you want to get the highest opt in rate.

Change Page Layout – Another thing that you can do is change the layout of the page. Most people forget that the page is more important than the Ebook actually is. Trust me, if the page looks like all you are trying to do is get an email address, then most people won’t bother reading it. What you should do is change the wording from time to time, change the color scheme on it and even revamp the entire site if you have to.

Target New Keywords – The last thing that I recommend is to try and target new keywords. A lot of the times people are not getting enough traffic to their opt in pages and if that is the case, then you need to do something to get more traffic. The only thing I recommend is that you don’t target keywords that you have no chance of ranking for in 2 months or less. An example would be to try and rank for “Make money online” as opposed to something simple like “Methods to earn an income online”. Do you see why the second keyword phrase would be much easier?

As you can see, there are some things that you can do if you are not getting as many subscribers as you want. Just do yourself a favor and stick to this strategy because after a while you will start to see your pages bring in a lot of new subscribers and that is the best and easiest way to make more money online.
