Blogging Is The Best Way to Start Your eMail List

24. Feb, 2010 0 Comments

Pro bloggers know that growing your opt-in email list is the fastest way to success online. It’s been estimated that each of your email list subscribers can potentially be worth about $1 per email address per month.

If you have not yet gotten started building your email list, you might be pleased to learn that blogging can be the best way to start, and here’s why. Blogs tend to be very specific by nature. If you have created a blog around a particular industry or niche, then visitors seek out that blog because they are searching for the precise information that they can find there.

Do you see how you have clearly created a community of people with this blog who are interested in the topic that you are writing about? Once you get them to sign up with their name and email address, you can start communicating with them, adding value to their lives and sharing promotional offers that meet the needs of your target market. But now you’ve now assembled a community of potential customers.

Blogging is a great way to start your email list because your subscribers have already had a taste for who you are and what value you bring to the table. An opt-in list built from your blog subscribers will potentially be a more responsive list that will be more likely to remain on your list and take advantage of your offers.

An effective tool for grabbing the attention of your visitors after they have clicked that ‘x’ and are preparing to navigate away from your site is a free, WordPress plugin called, ‘Wp-ExitWindow.’ This plugin allows you to have a higher chance of converting your traffic by presenting them with your squeeze page, affiliate website or another related website. It takes just minutes to install and it only appears once per browser session.

So, now you can grab the attention of your blog visitors as they leave and give them another chance to subscribe to your email list.
