5 Steps You Can Start Implementing Right Now To Explode Your Subscribers Base

No matter what you do online for your business you should always be focused on what I call A.B.B (Always Be Building).

This means that whenever you do something for your online business whether it be link building, acquiring joint venture partners, pay per click and so on you should always be focused on building your list of subscribers, because these are people you can keep in contact with, create long lasting relationships & can be customers for life.

So with that said here are 5 tips you can start implementing today to grow your list of subscribers.

1. Use squeeze pages
If you’re not using squeeze pages to build your list then you’re missing on on lots of subscribers. You should even consider using a squeeze page as the primary page for you site like I have with Recession Traffic

This means that ever before your visitors are directed to a sales letter or sales video they are in your auto responder so you can provide them with free quality content that will increase their trust in you & eventually lead to higher conversion rates & more sales.

The bottom line is using squeeze pages as your primary page can explode your list size. Imagine every joint venture & every promotion that sends you traffic is going to your squeeze page! Your list size will sky rocket. Of course make sure to TEST TEST TEST your squeeze pages. You want to make sure it converts like crazy so the maximum about of people join your list & see your offer.

(Side Note: Marc Milburn a MarkFlavinBlog.com reader has put together a video showing you how he gets a 70% conversion rate on his squeeze pages. You should check it out.)

2. Use your blog
If you’ve already got a blog that gets traffic then why not give away a free report on your blog in exchange for your visitors email address. You can add a subscription box to your sidebar or even use a lightbox to grab peoples attention straight away once they go to your blog.

3. Create a viral report
Create a viral report on your niche which gives away some really valuable information that people would want to pass on to others. Of course include links to your squeeze page throughout the report but DO NOT sell in the report otherwise it’s unlikely it will go viral. You want this report to provide excellent content so that it goes viral & those who read it are so impressed with the content that they sign up at your squeeze page. Your can use places like scribed & DocStoc to drive some traffic & get some exposure for your report.

4. Use exit pop-ups
Now most people hate exit pop ups & people have actually given out to me before for recommending that you use them but the bottom line is they work! If you have a sales letter & someone is exiting the site that means you’ve lost that person forever. They’re not a customer & they’re not a subscriber. So in my opinion using an exit pop up on a sales letter is a great idea. You can use it to offer the person a free report or use it to offer them a special offer. It’s like getting a second chance at the sale! I use Virtual Smart Agent to do this on my sales pages.

5. Do newsletter swaps

Find people in your niche with newsletters similar to yours. Offer to put a link to their newsletter at the end of your newsletter for a set amount of time if they do the same. Of course make sure that there newsletter provides great quality information because if you recommend crap to people they will just unsubscribe from your list.

This is a win win situation as both of you will get free advertising on the others newsletter. The key here is to write an extremely compelling ad to make people click over from the newsletter to your squeeze page.

So there you have 5 tips you can start using right now to either start building your list or start growing your current subscriber base much much faster.
