Is article marketing effective for building a list? Will a good percentage of my readers subscribe to my list...or only a few? What is the BEST strategy for getting as many people to sign up as possible? Any of these questions sound familiar? If you are anything like I once was, the notion of list building through your articles SOUNDS really great...but actually making it happen is a whole other challenge.
The GOOD news? List building with articles is not only EASY, it's also the fastest and most cost effective way to build a MASSIVE list, without muss, fuss, mess or stress as well.
Here is the ONLY thing you need to know about generating a massive list from your content:
1 - The FREEDOM of Focus: A one page opt in page is FAR superior than a big blog with tons of great content and a form in the sidebar or header. You want to give your subscribers (or in this case, your POTENTIAL subscribers) 2 options: Either opt in, or leave the page empty handed. Believe me, lots of people will tell you otherwise, but if you want 30% + opt in rates, this is the ONLY way of getting them.
2 - BIG markets are BEST. Competition is your friend....and the bigger the ocean, the larger the list building opportunity. Want to know the truth? When I first started list building in 2007 or so, I attacked these little micro niches, and paid HUGE attention to all sorts of silly, and irrelevant keyword data. Now? I go where the BIG boys and girls swim, in the markets I KNOW are popular and evergreen (dating, diet, divorce, et al) and attack with a fearless ferocity and focus that would make Ghengis Kahn blush.
Don't get distracted. Content, opt in page and CURRICULUM (coaching, ebooks, affiliate products) are all you need to make a full time living with your articles, and if your sick of striking out online....the GOOD news is, you CAN start today. (no gurus required)
