Blogs have become a big part of today’s business strategy for many of the most successful Internet Marketers. They understand that people respond favorably when presented with information that they can use for their own personal benefit. This is why a blog can be so useful in that it consists of content that pertains to the theme of the blog.
This post was designed to help you create a blog that can be used to boost your email subscriber list exponentially. The method described below has a proven track record of increasing conversion rates quickly.
Six Things Everyone Should Be Doing For To Build a Huge List
#1 Selecting an Email Marketing software
Everything starts with picking the right email marketing software for your new business. This is why it is so important to select the software that best fits in with your needs and requirements to ensure that you get the most out of it. There are a large number of email marketing software packages available all over the Internet.
Each one of them have features and benefits that make them good for some and for others not so good. I highly recommend two email marketing systems based on my years of experience with using them; aweber or Mailchimp.
If you were to choose either one you would get the benefit of ease of use, affordability and user friendly interface. These are all very important when it comes to being successful using a blog for Internet Marketing.
#2 Setting Up Your First Email Campaign on Your Blog
Whether you chose Mailchimp or aWeber or even if you picked one of the other Email Marketing software pages, it will come with everything you will need to get started. You be given several options when it comes to setting up a subscriber form, also referred to as an optin form.
This is how you get your prospects email address from your blog. By choosing one of three types of forms, you will already be ahead of the blog owners that figure that all they need to do is plop an optin form in the sidebar of their blog and subscribers will just pour in.
This simply is not the case and if you want to blast your email list with tons of new email subscribers. The copy and paste option is one of the easiest to use and works with all WordPress blogs. Once you have your optin form set up, you are ready to move on.
#3 Bring Traffic to Your Website with Lead Magnets
While simply placing an optin form on your blog will work to get a number of email subscribers on your list, but chances are you will not be satisfied with the small incremental amounts of subscribers you are likely to get using this method. Fortunately there are ways that can be used to help drive up your email subscriber numbers, one of the most popular are called Lead Magnets.
These Lead Magnets are like bribes in the Internet Marketing business that are used to entice prospects into giving up their contact information (email address). These inducements include free downloadable eBooks, assorted Internet Marketing templates and free training courses.
Once you understand how much of an advantage using Lead Magnets can be for your Internet Marketing and that you really need to use them in your business.
#4 Using Targeted Contextual Calls To Action
While there are a number of tools that are available on the Internet that can used to draw attention to your site and convert those visitors into email subscribers, you need to know that content is king and your posts are your most valuable asset
One of the best ways to supercharge your email list is to use specific calls to action known as Contextual Calls to Action that are embedded in the content that you post and it encourages each visitor to take advantage of the Lead Magnets on your blog. However, to make these specific calls to action work optimally, you use them in conjunction with evergreen posts (those posts that are considered timeless and will never become obsolete).
#5 Using Specific Pop Ups to increase email subscribers
Sometimes things that you might think would never work to entice prospects to give away their email addresses, could actually work much better than you could imagine. This is especially true when it comes to pop ups and their potential to improve your blog’s conversion rate of getting more email addresses.
Since many people get annoyed with pop ups when visiting a website or blog you might think that it would be counter-intuitive for you to consider using any kind of popup on your blog, however you might be surprised to find out that there a certain type of them called exit intention pop ups that actually improve conversion rates.
