5 Killer Ways to Build an Email List

by on February 22, 2023

The most important asset in your online business is your email list.

90% of my income currently comes from email!

In this quick article I would like to share with you 5 killer ways to build an email list.

1 – Solo Ads

Solo ads are the primary way I build my email list and my favorite form of paid advertising.

With solo ads you pay an email list owner money to send out your offer to their email list.

Most list owners charge around 40 to 70 cents per click. I buy all of my solo ads from a service called Udimi.

Udimi is a great place to buy solo ad traffic if you’re in the marketing,business opportunity or weight loss niche.

2 – Podcasts

A unique way to build an email list is to appear as a guest on another podcast with a similar audience.

Most show hosts will let you do a plug during the podcast because you’re providing value to their audience.

Instead of pitching your product share with the audience your lead magnet so you can get them on your email list and market to them later.

3 – Blogging

A lot of people visiting your blog will be first time visitors.

So instead of trying to make the sale right away get your visitors to subscribe to your email list by offering them a lead magnet.

A great way to promote your lead magnet on your blog is by using a popup. My favorite tool to create popups with is OptinMonster. Check it out right here.

4 – Lead Magnet Funnel

One of the easiest ways to build an email list is to drive traffic to a lead magnet funnel.

With a lead magnet funnel you offer your visitors something valuable (PDF,cheat sheet,software tool) so they will give up their email address and join your list.

I like building my lead magnet funnels with a funnel builder called ClickFunnels.

5 – Gated Content

A unique way to build an email list is with gated content. Gated content is exclusive content on your site that you offer your readers in exchange for their email. Here is a great article about gated content right here.

Conclusion

According to Statista.com email marketing’s average return on investment is anywhere between $36 and $45 for every dollar spent.

So it just makes sense to be growing your email list on a daily basis.

Hope these tips helped.

5 Secrets to Building a Profitable Online Business

by on January 25, 2023

I’ve failed a lot since starting my online business in 2011.

But through the years I’ve learned a few secrets about growing a successful online business,the few things you must do if you want to move the needle in your business.

Here Are 5 Secrets to Building a Profitable Online Business

1 – Focus on one niche – You can’t grow an online business if you’re focused on too many niches at one time. Focus on becoming an expert in one niche. Experts get paid the best too.

2 – Build your email list – If you want to build a successful online business for the long term you need to be building an email list. They say the average person is subscribed to 100 or so email lists. Email is far from being dead. I like building my email list with AWeber. You can email up to 500 subscribers for free. Check out AWeber right here.

3 – Create useful/helpful content – The way you build a strong brand and attract business is by creating content that solves people’s problems. What are questions that people in your niche frequently ask? Simply create content that answers those questions.

4 – Email your list daily – I try to email my list daily because I want to stay top of mind with my subscribers. Email is also responsible for most of the income my business generates.

If you want to learn how to write emails that entertain,educate & sell I highly recommend subscribing to Ben Settle’s Email Players print newsletter. You can check it out right here.

5 – Master one paid traffic strategy – Content marketing is awesome because it’s free but it does take a lot of time,energy & patience to start generating traffic,leads and customers.

That’s why it’s good to master one paid traffic strategy. I’m in the internet marketing niche so I like to buy solo ad traffic.

I buy all of my solo ad traffic from a website called Udimi. You can check them out right here

Here a few other paid traffic strategies worth considering:

-Google Ads
