Part 2: How to Start Getting Subscribers Now that we've discussed about some of the things that you should consider when choosing an autoresponder service, the next thing that you must focus on is how to attract a good number of email subscribers. Allow us to guide you with that. Be Interactive If you're an online marketer, you're probably aware how green and red can affect one's choice. Yet, you'll often see that a lot of websites use the big, red call-to-action button. Have you ever considered using a submit button to interact with the visitors instead? Apparently, a submit button with a red border that changes into green when clicked can be visually stimulating. It triggers the visitors to click on it and see what will happen next. Make Everything Simple Have you ever seen those opt-in forms that are already pre-filled with everything, such as the “enter your email address” and the like? All you need is a little extra scripting, to make it work smoothly. Inspire People to Forward Your Newsletter Inspiring your subscribers to forward your email to their friends and acquaintances is a great way to increase popularity. Though, this isn't similar to adding a “tell-a-friend” button to a website, or asking your visitors to share the content via Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and so on. In order to persuade people to move forward an email, it's important to ensure that they can click on a link that will allow them to compose on a message line-- because not all programs allow its users to forward attachments or simple images. Also, by allowing your subscribers to send your message directly,

5. tracking how many people have actually promoted your site becomes possible. Minimize Clicks for Subscription A lot of people place their opt-in form on the homepage of their site-- which isn't wrong at all. However, what will happen if those visitors landed on other pages instead? In order to make the subscription process as easy as possible, put the opt-in form in the sideboard of the site. For those who are using WordPress, GetResponse, Aweber, MailChimp, and many more, the autoresponder widgets will allow the user to drag and drop the form on the sidebar. Make Use of SMS Opt-in Technology LeadPages.net has a feature which enables people to opt-in to your list via SMS. With almost everyone on their mobile device, it makes it easier than ever to opt-in. Offer a Special Deal to New Subscribers An opt-in page serves as a golden opportunity that can attract subscribers if utilized correctly. Most opt-in simply thank their users after signing up. This will do, but if you want to ensure that you'll get plenty of subscribers in a short amount of time, having a“gimmick” that will persuade them to join your mailing list is crucial. For example, hold a giveaway and those who have signed up on your mailing list will be qualified to enter the contest. Keep in mind, you're not trying to up-sell, but it's the perfect chance to introduce what you can offer to your new subscribers. The Users Should Be in Control

6. In any case that your list of unsubscribers continues to increase, don't think that these people find your newsletter irrelevant or useless. The probable reason might be, they find it difficult to keep up with whatever you are sending. Most newsletter owners simply send a mail asking their subscribers why they chose to leave. This wouldn't change their mind at all. Instead of that, try to ask if they would like to modify the frequency on how they receive the emails or the type of messages they want to get. Giving them full control of what goes in their inbox can be a great way to decrease your unsubscribe rate. Utilize Social Networks Keep in mind, there are a lot of ways on how you can connect to your readers aside from newsletters. Try to answer this question, when was the last time you asked your Facebook friends or Twitter followers to subscribe? Now that Facebook has updated its API, posting newsletter directly to a page has never been this simple. It's a great way to give a quick overview of what your subscriber is going to receive. The Preview Pane Should be Maximized A lot of popular email programs, such as the Yahoo, Gmail, and Outlook are capable of displaying the first few lines of an email. This will allow the user to determine if the message should be downloaded or not. Each program offers a limit on how many characters will be visible in a snippet, but these characters aren't as important as a content. Just try to think about this, what do you want to see in a preview pane that will motivate you to check the entire message?

The reason why this is considered to be economical is the fact that it can be easily tracked in just a matter of seconds. The goal of PPC is to break even. There's no need to build much profit, but the focus is about building a list. If you can get around 100 people a day on your subscriber list, then it'll be a break even and that's a good starting point. The key to PPC is that it's testing and improvement. No need to start all over again, but just a little modification will do. Way #2: Article Marketing Article marketing is an affordable way to get traffic, but it's also a little bit slower as compared to PPC, because time is used instead of money. Basically, it works in a way where you'll need to write several articles and submit them to directories. Then, these contents will get indexed and if the appropriate keywords were used, as well as a good SEO principle, then your article will get the traffic it needs.

Way #3: Affiliate Marketing The secret to affiliate marketing is good statistics. A lot of marketing experts believe that it's usually ideal to test the stats with the use of AdWords first. A lot of refining can be done with the use of PPC and it's usually best to do this before approaching the potential affiliates. The reason behind? If an affiliate promotes the product, it wouldn't convert and the bridge you're trying to build will instantly collapse. However, if an affiliate successfully promotes the product and it does convert, then the possibility of having the product promoted will be endless. These are just some of the best ways on how you can get the traffic to your squeeze page. Bear in mind, each of these techniques can either break or make your success. Likewise, there's no need to do everything right. As long as you'll stay focused and determined, you'll be able to attain your goals with ease.
