How to Start a Mailing List in 3 Simple Steps

How to Start an Email List

 

Learn how to start a mailing list by following these 3 steps. One of the keys to building a successful business is to build responsive, targeted mailing lists. This includes your prospect list and your list of buyers. For the purposes of this article, we’ll focus on how to build a prospect list.

When you are building your email list, always keep in mind that you don't want everyone to sign up for your freebies. Instead, focus on your ideal client or customer's needs. Know their pain points and focus on attracting those people.

To have a quality list, you need a specific target that craves what you offer.

 

How to Start a Mailing List

Step 1: Create an Enticing Lead Magnet

Your first step is to do your market research to find out what your market wants. You can do this by visiting marketplaces like Udemy.com, ClickBank.com, and Amazon.com to see what sort of infoproducts they’re already buying. Look for bestselling products in your niche and multiple products on the same topic, both of which are signs that a product is popular.

The key here is to find out what type of product people are buying, but then create something fresh. In other words, don’t copy anyone’s product. Instead, create a product on the same topic with your own fresh perspective and unique tips and information.

Step 2: Capture Leads

The next step is to set up a landing page so you can start capturing peoples’ information.

Here you need two things:

#1 A Trusted Autoresponder

For example Aweber, GetResponse, ConvertKit, or something similar.  Follow their instructions for setting up a mailing list and inserting an opt-in form into your lead page.

#2 Compelling Content for Your Lead Page

 If you’re not familiar with how to craft benefit-driven sales copy, then outsource this task to a professional. Search Google for copywriters, or post a job on a freelancing site like UpWork.com.

Step 3: Create Emails

Every email you send from your initial autoresponder series through all live broadcasts should seek to build relationships and presell your offers.

With Those Goals in Mind, Follow These Tips

Provide Useful Yet Incomplete Information

The useful information helps you build good relationships with your subscribers, while the “incomplete” information gives you an opportunity to sell the rest of the solution on the backend.

For example, you can provide really good and useful dieting tips, and then sell a diet guide at the end of the email.

 

Promote One Offer Per Email

This helps boost your conversion rate.

Create a series. People rarely buy a product the first time they hear about it. That’s why you’ll want to send three to five emails for each product you’re promoting.

 For example, if you’re selling a diet guide, then you might send out a three-part series called “The Three Keys to Rapid Weight Loss.” Each email would provide one useful key and then promote the offer at the end.

 

Why Build an Email List?

Building a solid, responsive list of your ideal clients and customers is vital for the success of your business. You need buyers, right?

Done correctly, your list will be loyal, repeat customers.

Building a responsive list is about taking these steps:

Offering something people really want in exchange for their email address.

Sending really useful content on a regular basis so that people keep opening your emails.

When you build a responsive list, then making money is as simple as promoting offers that you know your audience will really love. So, go ahead and put this information to work to start building your list as soon as possible!

I have been floundering around trying to make my gardening site profitable for two years and just could not get it to grow.

I spent tons of money on affiliate and website building programs but was getting nowhere.

I started working with Jen and David following their exact systems and saw exactly where I was going wrong AND what I needed to do to fix it.

In 30 days, I quadrupled my list and started making sales!

NO ONE else is doing things online like you guys are doing it...You guys are building and teaching what I want to learn how to do with my online efforts...Today I saw the future!"

I have wandered around blindly for over 4 years wondering why things weren't working...the things y'all teach are not being taught elsewhere. Instead, the advice is vague and leaves you feeling stupid because you're not figuring it out.

I cannot say enough good things...the only problem is that there's so much good stuff that I don't want to sleep b/c I want to learn it all.

 
I'm beginning to feel like a plan is forming and that I might actually make things work.

You won't have a profitable business if you don't have a targeted buyer's list. People who you have pre-qualified as potential buyers.

Think about it - it's a vital part of your sales process. Without it, how will your ideal clients and customers know when you are launching a new program or product?

Just a couple of weeks ago, one of my favorite online business guys posted on Facebook about the terrible relationship he had with his dad. I felt his pain across the ocean and through time.
