How to Build an Email List for Your BusinessDid you know that one of the most powerful tools you can have for online marketing and making money online is an email list? Chances are you didn’t know that the email is still the most important communication tools on the internet and that every major company and top profit generating groups online are working daily on building their list. But isn’t email long dead, you ask? The answer is, absolutely not. In fact, the death of email has been greatly exaggerated. After all, every single social media network out there asks for your email to sign up, and so do all of the other websites, social or otherwise. That’s because email is still the most personal and the most effective ways of communicating with people.

If you’re a business owner, then we can’t emphasize this enough – knowing how to build an email list is crucial for increasing your profits and improving visibility online. Emails are targeted, emails are one on one, and emails are here to stay. Email accounts are integral – we use them for both business and social communication – unlike social media sites that rely on popularity and might eventually die out. And the best part is, it’s actually very easy to start building an email list today. In fact, if you think about it, you give up your email for just about every website you sign up for. By simply asking for your visitors’ emails, you can have your own effective and targeted communication vehicle.

Here’s how to build an email list for beginners, just to get you started:1. Choose an email marketing service provider.We would recommend either AWeber or MailChimp for this. But hold on, why do you need an email marketing service provider to begin with?

There are a lot of good reasons. For starters, using regular mail carriers to send out mass marketing messages can get your IP blacklisted by your ISP which is definitely not good. With email marketing service providers, you also don’t have to handle subscribing and unsubscribing yourself; you can let them worry about those technicalities. They can also tell you how many people actually open your email instead of just deleting them. All in all, your life will be much easier if you choose to handle your email list with an email marketing service provider.

2. Strategically place opt-in forms on your website that grab your visitors’ attention.The best way to get someone’s email is to ask for their emails when they make an account or simply leave an opt-in form where they can leave their email if they want to receive information and updates regularly. Now you probably come across these forms a lot when you’re surfing the net but I bet you don’t leave your email address with a lot of them. That’s because you’re either not interested in what they’re offering or the opt-in form just didn’t draw you in.A well-designed opt-in form is five times more likely to get that email that you need so don’t be afraid to invest in the right colors, the right placement, and even the right font for your forms.

Knowing how to build an email list and actually building an email list are two very different things. Don’t make the mistake that most business owners and online marketers do; start building an email list today and create a powerful network for your business.
