Sure enough, every Internet marketer would like to succeed in list building. The greatest advantage of building a list of subscribers who are into your kind of market is the fact that it can help you earn profit - not only through direct sales but also through cross selling, follow-up marketing and even through repeat customers.
One of the biggest mistakes you can do to your site is to bombard it with popups. This can be annoying on the part of your visitors. If you are on their shoes and you visit a site having more than 2 popups and having them one after the other - wouldn't you get annoyed as well?
Then again, this usually happens whenever visitors try to leave a site. If you think about it - they are leaving your site anyway so why not do all you can to get them to opt in? Actually, if you want to keep it clean all the way. It is not a good idea to harass your visitors this way. As much as possible, you need to have a good opt in and an effective exit strategy.
Looking back at the annoying popups, these are only good if you expect one time visitors to your site. Surely, they would definitely do their best not to land in your page again. Besides, with regards to popups - do you think they even cared to look at the offers? No, most of them didn't even get the chance to read them since they're in a hurry to take them out.
One way to go about this is by putting in scripts in your opt-in page. One would be the opt-in script and the other would be the exit script. If you add in more scripts, it would already annoy your visitors. For your opt-in, entice them with a product giveaway, a free report or newsletter. Most Internet marketers actually find this high converting and very powerful.
Another thing you need to consider is an autoresponder. Two of the commonly used are Aweber and Getresponse. Among the two, many find the latter as more user-friendly. However, the two are very reliable and affordable.
Other ways to help you with your list building projects include using an exit opt-in script (as mentioned earlier) offering a free giveaway for subscription; putting an opt-in box by the side bar and front page; using a footer slide-in for popup still offering a free giveaway for subscription; using a comment script which subscribes people automatically to your list whenever they comment to your blog posts; and having an opt-in form at the end of a video presentation (if you choose to use videos). For the latter, you can try using Easy Video Player - it is high recommendable according to a lot of Internet marketers.
