List Building: How to Make Your Visitors Come Back

If a person visits your website and leaves, chances are that he or she will not come back, especially if there are no compelling reasons to do so. After all, we all behave rather impulsively on the Internet, so much so that we can easily forget where we were 10 web pages ago.And if your visitor signs up to be on your mailing list, you can still follow up with him via email. You can get your subscriber to consider your offer, or endorse another offer to him or her.Building your Subscribers list with articlesSo, how can this method in effect build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL.It is strongly suggested that your resource box URL links to your mailing list's landing page where you can get your visitor's name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.Building your subscribers list with paid eZine advertisingThis can be a wise method, but with ifs and buts. For one, the advertisement must be compelling and attention grabbing. Secondly, there is no telling if the eZine's subscribers constantly practice a buying habit until you put some money to find out.While you are not making a hard sell through your advertisement just yet, building your list by getting other eZine's subscribers subscribed to your eZine allows you to follow up with them in the future, as and when you have new offers.Using free reportsAside from pre-selling your products and affiliated offers, the other purpose of your free viral report should be to build your mailing list.So try to write out as many reports as possible to get many subscribers. Having said that, it is always wiser to start your own mailing list and build it with opt-in subscribers. This will bring you lifetime customers and payers.
