How to Promote your Mailing List
by: Matt Colyer
Today one of the best ways to reach customers is with a mailing list. A mailing list will build your credibility, which builds trust in your customer because they know that you are knowledgeable about your subject. It also allows you to build a relationship with your customers. Growing your mailing list is often one of the biggest challenges for webmasters. So how do you go about promoting your mailing list?
1) There are many sites dedicated to listing mailing list on their site for their visitors. Register your mailing list at E-zine announcement directories. You may be able to find some that are specifically for your subject, these are the ones that are going to provide you with targeted readers.
2) Write your own articles and submit them for publication. Pick a topic related to your site, but where you also know what your talking about. Other web sites will pick these articles up and post them on their site or even better in their newsletter. After you write each article post a link to your mailing list at the end of it in the writers resource box.
3) If your newsletter is good you’ll have people sharing it with family and friends, Sometimes people will forget to do this, so make sure you add a friendly reminder in each newsletter to tell their friends about it.
4) If you have a ebook or free guide on your web site, If your newsletter has the same topic, promote your newsletter in it. You can give your ebook or guide to other web sites to give to their visitors.
5) Get active in discussion groups and include a link to your web site in your signature. But be careful, some forums will not allow you to promote your products/services in your signature, so read the rules first.

I don’t mind admitting that every time some new fangled idea or piece of technology arrives online, I have a small fit and wonder how long it’s going to take me to understand what it is, what it’s for and whether I need to use it to stay ‘up there’. It’s even more frightening when the experts start explaining it and really only serve to confuse the matter when they use their ‘techno-speak’.

Do you know the secret that allowed 100% of the top Internet Marketers to become successful?
Amazingly though, even if you read all their books, attend their seminars, or even ask them in person, you’ll probably never discover the one true secret of their success.

Article Marketing Creates a Steady Flow of Fresh Content
Article writers, website owners, and site visitors all benefit through articles posted online. Simply put, the author’s message gets broad exposure. Sites display their articles (some permanently), along with a link to their website. The ezine or website owner gets constantly updated content (site pages) without paying for it. That makes their website sticky - encouraging visitors to stick around. And readers get fresh, useful information on any topic imaginable.

All of us hate spam and all of us have our own methods of fighting it. Unfortunately, all the methods in the world cannot help us to succeed completely. A long time ago, I heard the expression, “If you can’t beat them then embrace them”.
Ok, so what has this expression have to do with the spam problem? In my opinion, a lot! I decided to use the spammer’s knowledge for my own interests instead of just being frustrated and get upset looking at all my emails full of junk.
