List Building Tips - How to Build Your List With Articles

Building our subscribers list, as they say, should be our number 1 priority whatever products or services we sell online. We always hear that the "money is in the list", and we should expect to earn at least $1 per subscriber per month. That's true, because by building your list, you are also building stability to your business. Your business is not stable unless you have thousands of subscribers where you can market your product and make money on demand.

Even if you are an expert in driving traffic to your website, and let's say you are converting high with the traffic that you get, it is still not enough if you are aiming for a long-term business. Yes, you can still make money, but it's not enough. Imagine, driving traffic to your website every single day without building your list. What if the traffic slows down? How do you make money in that scenario? If you have thousands of subscribers in your list, you can still get instant traffic and make money even if the traffic from other sources slows down. All you have to do is send an email, and wait for the sales come in, but of course it all boils down how well do you manage your list, and how responsive they are, so make sure to build a long-lasting relationship to your subscribers.

At this point, you know the importance of having a list of subscribers. But how do you build your subscribers list? There are a lot of ways to build your list, but one of the most effective ways to do it is with articles. Write a simple, straight-to-the-point, and informative 300-500 word article and submit it to top article directories. You can just focus on the top 10 article sites. Always keep it simple and don't bore your readers with a long 800-1500 word article, your goal is to make it simple for them to read and direct them to your squeeze page or blog on the resource box. Once you have them on your squeeze page or blog, offer something valuable, a free gift that is also related with the article.

For example, if your article talks about "how to lose 10lbs in 30 days", you can offer them a free report about "discover how to lose weight without starving yourself with diets, and still eat 3 times a day". The person will probably be curious on how they can lose weight without making any diets and still eat 3 times a day, and most likely will enter their details to download your free report. They found it valuable and became your subscriber.

The best way to build your subscribers list fast with articles is to have multiple products on a different topics to give away. Let's say you are in IM niche, you can set-up 5 squeeze pages for "making money online", "article marketing", "list building", "traffic building", and "affiliate marketing. What you can do is, write 10 articles for each of those topics, that's a total of 50 articles, or you can let someone write it for you if you don't like writing. Then watch the articles to build list for you passively. For each of those articles, make sure to provide a link to your squeeze page on the resource box that also relates with your article. Remember, keep it simple and provide more once they became your subscriber. Internet Marketing is a numbers game, so work them out. There are several people saying that article marketing is dead. What they don't know is building your subscribers list with articles still work if you know the proper method of doing it.

Don't just focus on one thing that you can give away, the more you give, the more you gain. This is what I call "selling less, and giving more". Focus on building your subscribers list by giving more. Once you have their trust, money will come in naturally, because they know that you are credible, and if you recommend a product, they know that it will benefit them. Building your list with articles is still one of the most effective ways, and by using articles, you are driving targeted traffic, and building targeted list as well.

There are other ways to build your list, but always include articles as one of your ways to build your list. It may be slow in the beginning, but imagine, once you have 10 articles for each of your 5 squeeze pages, it will build list for you passively for the years to come. And of course, don't stop there, continue to add articles and if you have another product on a different topic that you want to give away, then write another 10 articles for that topic. Always remember, "many streams make a river", add more streams to build your list, and you can do it with articles.
