Excerpts
1) Relevant Content
Research and write content that your market is interested in. In this way, not only will you keep your subscribers happy, you will also boost the amount of people who will recommend your newsletter to their friends.
Research can be done by sending out an email asking your readers what they want to read. You can also sign up for other ezines in your market and see what they are writing about.
2) Using Feedburner
www.Feedburner.com allows readers to subscribe to your blog updates by email. So even if you have not started your own newsletter yet, you can still update your readers of new content on your blog via email.
3) Ad Swaps
Ad swaps are exchanges of advertisements. By incorporating someone’s advertisement into your mailing, they agree to do the same for you. Swap ads with people in the same industry or related non-competing industries. Use this technique every 2-3 weeks and you should see your subscriptions climb rapidly over time.
4) Subscription Boxes
Subscription boxes can be added anywhere on a website. Integrate more subscription boxes so that more people can see the boxes and subscribe to your list. We recommend Aweber for your autoresponder account: http://www.aweber.com
5) Newsletter and ezines
You can rely on RSS feeds to build your email list. However, a more effective way of building your list is to start a newsletter or ezine on appropriate topics that are popular, address a genuine need, or solve a problem. This makes it easier to attract new subscribers for your email list.
6) Safelists networks
Joining safelists networks will gain you access to a large group of individuals who may be interested in joining your list.
