Three Tips For Building Your List Now
One of the reasons that your list building efforts may not be producing the results that you want could be that you are not relating to your market. Internet marketing requires that you stay on target with you niche.
Here are three tips that will help you relate to your market.
Tip 1. Stay Relevant.
The content that you provide for your ezine and/or your blog must be relevant to your particular audience. For instance, if your market is internet marketing, than you don’t want to make post or send email content that talks about horses. The exception would be if you are in internet marketing and your topic is horses.
Staying focused or relevant will make your subscribers or blog readers happy. After all, that is one of the reasons that they subscribed. Well maybe they subscribed for the free ebook you were giving away. But, they knew that you would also be sending them additional information and when you do, it should be on topic and useful to your readers as they work in the market area that you stated when they subscribed.
Staying relevant may also encourage you r subscribers to recommend your newsletter or blog to their associates. If that happens, it will give a boost to you efforts to make money online.
The point here is that you need to write subjects that your subscribers are interested in.
Tip 2. Make sure your blog or website has lots of opt-in forms.
Your blog or websites may have a lot of pages on it. Unless you have identified some specific reason not to do so, every page should have a place, an opt-in form, where you reader and subscribe to your newsletter. If you have 10 pages, you should have 10 opt-in forms – one on each page.
You blog will likely be set up to make this happen. But you will need to set up a standard website in order to accomplish this.
If you insure that you have excellent content and that it is relevant to you topic, over time you will find that your website or blog readers will be subscribing to your newsletter.
Tip 3. Offer Something For Free.
It is a truism that people like to receive free things. Don’t be afraid of making these free offers. They work and they work quite well. For example, I get a much larger response from my list when I offer something free.
I am sure that you really would like for your subscribers to subscriber to your newsletter because they to read your newsletter. All of us do. But for some reason it is easier to get subscribers when you offer something for free.
So, create an ebook, an ecourse, get an ebook from someone else that you can give away. Then, use that as an enticement to get subscribers. Once you have subscribers start working to build confidence with them. Build a relationship with them so that they do want to read your newsletter.
Following these tips will help you in your efforts at list building and that in turn will help make your internet marketing efforts more profitable. Build your list now.

Great tips again Lonnie! Your right, it is very important to stay on topic and share information that your reader actualy want to read about.
I see it too often (mostly with beginners) that they see a new affiliate program and sign up to it, along with every other one they see, and then try to promote them all, while many of them have little to do with the topic the reader wants to read about.
Keeping on topic will greatly help to build a long lasting relationship with your readers.
Great tips, Lonnie – and #1 & #3 are just as relevant on Twitter and other social sites too!

It is very important to stay on target with your list. After all that is what they signed up for. If you start going off on tangents with un-related topics then you will definitely see your unsubscribe rate skyrocket.
Also, the list building resource you have listed is fantastic. I picked this up not long after James released it and there are definitely some not so common list building techniques that he covers that you just have to stop and say to yourself ‘Now why didn’t I think of that!’
