Email List Building - How Responsive Is Your Email List

Is your email list responsive enough? If not, then consider that this is an issue

that is directly related to your relationship you're building with it. What do your emails contain? If they're full of useful information, that entices your readers, fine, but if they're unattractive, you've no chance.

Remember that your subscribers have signed with you as they want quality content, and you told them you could supply it - otherwise why would they be with you? Also, you are being judged on your quality. You can see that if you start to supply poor grade content, and hashed information that's full of poor grammar it will be a forgone conclusion that your products are the same.

You need to furnish your email list building with the kind of information that's easy to understand, fresh, and that readers can immediately apply - and that's before they've even seen your product! When they can act - with success - on what you tell them in your emails, then they'll start to warm to you and will feel more inclined to come to you when you begin offering them low-end ticket products.

Is email list building easier said than done?

No, but you must take an intelligent approach

1.As you're an expert in your niche, there's no reason why you can't write intelligent content about it in your emails.

2.Write in an easy style. Your writing should be in the context that would allow them to read it in a relaxed manner over a cup of coffee with you. Your grammar should be free flowing and at all costs, jargon-free and non-technical.

3.Don't try and push your product at every opportunity. Discreetly place a link to your website in say 20% of your emails. Don't push your product in their faces every day. That is not the way to building a list your email should be a pleasure for them to read. Think about what comes into YOUR inbox? Do you enjoy reading them, or feel like unsubscibing?

4.Yes, your email rate depends on the nature of the niche - and the subscriber's frame of mind too - but send the correct amount of emails. At he beginning of building your relationship, when everything's fresh, send up to 5 emails a week maybe. Then as you get to know one another, ease up a little, as they'll come to recognize you. If you have emails that give heaps of sound information though, then don't feel shy about sending it to them. Sending out sales letter every day will leave you without any subscribers at all, so just be sensible, and all should be fine.

5.Put your self in the mind of the recipient, and ask if you'd be happy to get your email. How would it make you feel - excited, or like deleting it?

6.Above all, treat your readers as you would expect to be treated yourself - with respect. Because that way, building your email list works.
