The programs listed below are free list building
programs and they all have great lead
capture pages you can use.
Before you join any of these please read this whole page. There
is alot of information here that you need to know before you join any
programs. I
don't want you to miss out on any of the strategies or tips outlined below.
How To Go About Building Your List.
The list builders below are great tools that you can use
to increase your affiliate sales and web traffic but just remember this:
It's always much better to build your OWN list. Distributing your own
Ezine or Newsletter is the absolute BEST way to build a list of
responsive prospects.
If you think that offering your own Ezine is something you want to do, I
know a secret that will allow you to get an opt-in
form/mailing list handler for capturing subscribers and sending your
newsletter or ezine to for free without having to install anything on
your website except some copy and paste code:
Just join freeautobot.com
and use their opt-in form code on your website. You can put it in a
pop-up window, fly-in ad or just slap it up on your front page.
You really don't even have to have a website to use freeautobot for this
purpose. If you use a link like "yourlogin@freeautobot.com"
(where "yourlogin" is your freeautobot user name) all they
have to do to subscribe is click the link, send an email and they are
subscribed automatically.
Hint: You can create as many freeautobot
accounts as you want. You just have to sign up under a different email
address each time. If you use RoboForm
it will help you keep track of your logins. This way you can use one
account for your ezine and another for an autoresponder series that
promotes whatever programs or products you are promoting at the time.
Freeautobot
has a great feature that
lets you email your list at any time. I use this feature to distribute
my Ezine. They also have a double opt-in option to protect you and your
recipients from spam.
Once you join you will have to modify the confirmation email to suit
your needs. This is what mine says:
Subject:
The Internet Marketing Resource Guide - Your Confirmation Link.
Body:
Hi <%Name%>, [This variable prints the recipients name]
It appears that moments ago you signed up to receive my informative Ezine "The Internet Marketing Resource Guide."
However, in order to protect you from unauthorized email, your confirmation is required.
Please validate your request by clicking this link:
<%Validate_URL%> [This variable provides the confirmation link]
Thank you

After they click on the confirmation link Freeautobot automatically
sends them a follow-up email. This should be used to thank the recipient
and offer some more information about your ezine and your website.
If you don't have a newsletter or if you've never written anything
in your life then I can see how you'd be reluctant to try such a
thing. I thought it was impossible too at first but once you get the
hang of it it's really quite easy. All you need are the right tools and
before you know it, you'll be cranking out newsletters and articles like
they were going out of style.
To get the tools
and find out how you can quickly and easily create an award winning
newsletter in about 20 minutes, you should check out Michael Greene's
"How
To Write A Newsletter Toolkit". It's packed with the tools,
information, and resources you need to get started fast.
If you're afraid that building and maintaining your own newsletter or
ezine would be too much for you then please, by all means, go ahead and
use the list builders below. They are effective, just not AS effective
as writing your own Ezine. Heck you could even use these to get extra
sign-ups for YOUR Ezine if you wanted.

Warning: The list builders above let you send your ads to thousands of other
people who have joined them with the exact same thing in mind as you.
They want to advertise to you. Most of them have created an alternate
email address so they don't have to look at all the ads coming in. They
go clean their email box up once or twice a month and most of them will
never see your email. The newest people on the list are the most likely
to read your emails since they probably don't have much experience. This
is the perfect opportunity to market traffic generating services or
ebooks to them since most of them are looking for ways to get more
traffic and signups for their programs. Alot of them are interested in
learning more about internet marketing too. That's where the ebooks
come in. You could even use them to get sign-ups for your own Ezine
if you write about marketing and traffic generation. This creates a nice
opportunity for you to get extra sign-ups.
Some Helpful
Tips:
If you're going to be building a list you will also be emailing
to them eventually. So you will definitely want to know exactly which of your
campaigns or emails are working and which ones aren't. That's why you
need Ad Tracking. You should join clickaudit.com
for
free so you can track all your ads. To learn more about how to track your
ads using clickaudit read my
article about advertising in Ezines. It explains exactly how to set up
your tracking links for use with just about anything: Click
Here To Read It.
Using traffic exchanges is the easiest and cheapest way to build
your lists up but there is a right way and a wrong way to use them. If
you want to use the traffic exchanges you should read my free tutorial
about How To Squeeze The Most Benefits Possible Out Of Surfing
Traffic Exchanges.
You should also incorporate a
Traffic Exchange Referral Builder if you want
downlines in your Traffic Exchanges. I recommend Traffic
Tornado.
A great lead capture page is essential in getting sign-ups for your
list. If you don't have a great lead capture page then you're not going
to get any results. Most of the list builders above have great lead
capture pages you can use.
If you're planning on creating a capture page for your own Ezine or
Autoresponder series just go to the traffic exchanges and check out some of
the lead capture pages people are using and use them as an outline for
yours.
Once you have built several
lists you can email your newsletter or ezine to them and advertise your business opportunities
to build your downlines.
Don't have a business
opportunity or product to offer? I'm sure you can find a pretty good one
on the Free Affiliate Programs Page.
Or as an alternative you can
join Linkshare
or Commission
Junction
and browse their directories to find companies to partner with.
