If you are doing any sort of internet marketing, you should be first and foremost constantly building your list. Using article marketing sites to do list building is ideal.Here is how you can use article sites to work for you in building a mailing list.Most people enjoy doing article marketing for the increased exposure to their sites. Using article sites is a great long term strategy, but as a lot of them no longer accept affiliate links, it is getting harder to make salse from your articles.When most people visit a website from a link that they have clicked on via an article, they will normally take a quick look around, and vow to come back later, but they hardly ever return, and in this way you have lost a prospect or sale forever. You will have the advantage of increased traffic, but that is about all that you will see.Use your articles to drive prospects to a squeeze page, or an opt in box on your website, so that prospects can sign up for further updates from you. You can sweeten the pot by offering some free bonus's, and in that way you will be able to build a relationship with your visitors, and perhaps get them to buy at a later stage. Make sure that the articles that you use relate to the subject of the squeeze page for higher conversions.A good idea is to place an exit pop up box at your website, so that your visitor is tempted to sign up as he leaves the page.Successful internet marketers all have massive opt in email lists that they have built for themselves. Most of the sites that affiliate marketers promote online today, are disguised as other people's list builders, and you are thus building other people's lists instead of your own. Think about yourself for once, and build your own opt in email lists so you too can be successful online.The first priority for any internet marketer should be to become a list building expert. It is always easier to sell to an existing customer than it is to get new customers, and people will normally purchase from somebody they know and trust, rather than a complete stranger.
