15 Tested and Proven Ways to Build Your Subscriber List

A list of engaged subscribers is one of the most effective and reliable marketing resources. A good list so valuable that it can’t be bought. Why? Because when subscribers sign up for your list, they’re signing up to hear from you and your company. Subscribers have to be earned. What are the best ways to build a list? We’ve collected the top 15 to share with you today.
The permission model allows you to fill your audience with people who are genuinely interested in your brand and what you have to say
With information collected during sign-up (or later), you can precisely segment your list and design your email communication to suit your reader's preferences.
As you attract qualified leads, you’ll be able to guide them through the decision-making process by aligning content to specific buying cycle stages.
Take a look at the 15 tips we’ve collected to help you build your email marketing list:

1. Offer quality content. Nobody gives up their email address for free. If you want to build a valuable relationship and engage your audience, you need to provide content that is worthwhile and interesting.
   
2. Put sign-up forms on every web page. Your sign-up form should be everywhere your potential subscribers are. Make sure it’s visible and easy to fill out.
   
3. Use social media to collect email addresses. Integrate your sign-up forms with social media platforms. Driving traffic from multiple sources allows you to build a strong email marketing list much faster.
   
4. Design your sign-up form carefully. Ask only for information you plan to use. A good rule of thumb is that less is more — the shorter the sign-up form, the higher the conversion rate.
   
5. Show your privacy policy. Inform your readers that you will not share their personal information with third parties. A clear privacy policy helps you build trust and convince visitors that it’s safe to subscribe.
   
6. Show samples of your content. Let your subscribers know what they are signing up for. Use your older content samples to “sell” the email sign-up.
   
7. Include a call to action. Put a call to action in your submit button, e.g. Sign me up! This makes the sign-up process more engaging and improves the conversion ratio.
   
8. Give away freebies. Think of a relevant incentive for your audience (e-book, infographic, whitepaper) and provide it for free.
   
9. Ask subscribers to share. Take the time to prepare valuable, shareable content. Remember that putting the social share buttons is not enough; you still need to ask your subscribers to use them.
   
10. Build a content distribution strategy. Producing great content is only half the battle. Make sure it’s visible to the right audience. Define who your ideal audience is and find out where they like to congregate online. Then choose communication channels accordingly.
    
11. Publish landing pages. Create a squeeze page where visitors can download premium content in exchange for their email address. A dedicated web page helps users focus on the call to action and increases conversions.
    
12. Include testimonials on your landing page. Social proof helps build trust toward a brand and its products. Use testimonials from satisfied customers to help visitors make a decision.
    
13. Blog regularly. Great content brings more traffic. Develop a realistic content publishing schedule and stick to it.
    
14. Guest post on popular blogs. Publishing your content on other blogs is a great way to build relationships with other bloggers in your industry and introduce yourself to new people. Include a backlink to your blog, and your blog’s search rankings will go up.
    
15. Collect email addresses at offline events. Be ready to collect email addresses at trade shows and conferences. Ask for business cards or use the Forms on the Go app to instantly add people to your list.

"Free Followers" watch out.

There is a lot of free followers scam sites for both Facebook and Twitter and many other big social networks out there which only are out after your login details. There is plenty of exchange sites out there where you do exchange likes/followers with other site users. So if you need to do this do not look for 100% free likes/Followers but after the exchange sites and be on the safe site.

You can also go with paid followers or likes from big sites but also there will you have to be carefull, both because there is scam sites there is not gonna give you anything and we know for sure you would not be happy with the result anyway since most of the time the likes will be from areas you never heard about and none of them speak english and you will for sure lose a lot of likes after some time, so the only paid traffic and the best traffic is what you pay for from Facebook or twitter with advertisement.

 We do recommend that you do none of that above since you will get a better revenue from real fans and not what you have paid for or exchanged for with random sites. Then you may ask "How do i get more Likes/Followers then?"
Well first of all do most social networks come with modules that you can ad to your websites so Number 1 would be to have a module on your site somewhere where people would see it easy and it can gain you some likes from it.

Number 2 would be to have links in your news letter or emails you send out to the costumers or what ever they are for you like SendinBlue has on their emails they send out. See Image below. SendinBlue is a email and SMS marketing system. 9000 free emails a month.

Number 3 is also one of them there can help you a big deal, it can be done 2 ways or both. Share it to your own profile if possible and ask people to help get the word around. The other would be mouth to mouth method with both friends and loved once. 

Number 4 and last i got right now is to include the URL on all sort of advertisement like flyers and what not you give out to people.
