(Especially If You’re Just Starting Out And Cash Is A Little Tight!)
As you discovered in part one of this three part series about how to build a list for free.
Effective list building (on or offline) is essentially the name of the game. Bare in mine you don’t need to have a gigantic list, but you definitely do need to have built trust and real cred, if you expect to earn any type of ongoing steady income from your subscriber base (your opt in email) list.
Otherwise your merely spinning your wheels!
How To Build A List For Free That Actually Makes You Money!
No matter what your particular niche is and or no matter how you primarily market your product(s) or service(s.) You definitely need an effective (and hopefully) inexpensive way to consistently grow your opt in email or text message list online or offline database.
And one of the main reasons you will be able to create (and) derive a steady income from your opt in list, is because your subscribers trust that your constantly looking out for their best interest. By constantly sharing relevant, cutting edge problem solving ‘how to’ information with them.
Because (without a doubt) there is more than enough information landing in their email inbox everyday from other marketers (seeking) both their attention and money.
The way you’ll stand out is by being one of their main (trusted) ‘how to’ problem solving resources.
Introducing Three Incredibly Powerful Ways To Build Your List For Free! (And In The Process Out Promote Your Big Buck Major Competitors!)
1.) Strategy # one: This mega proven strategy is as old as the hills (but ) my friend, it flat out works. Provided your wise enough to consistently use it.
Because it simply involves you leveraging a business asset that you already have. Save what? It’s often called “ads swaps” or “list swapping.”
Basically, all you do is find another savvy small business owner (such as yourself) that has a list of subscribers compatible to yours.
As well as a list size that’s fairly similar to yours. And you both agree to send one of your best market tested offers to each others list.That’s as simple as it gets.
Of course, if you’re doing some type revenue sharing joint venture .(Meaning) you both agree upfront to share any generated revenue, you simply agree to that upfront and schedule a time when you’ll send your offers to each others list.
Of course this type of arrangement typically works best when you do it with someone you already have an excellent ongoing working relationship with.
There are obviously several more particulars that need to be discussed upfront, but that’s the general idea.
Just remember not to bombard your opt in list with constant sales pitches and you should be okay. Because they didn’t join your list simply to be pitched product after product and service after service.

2.) Strategy # two: This next proven free list building strategy involves (you) once again JVing with a trusted source (be it) a customer, client and or another savvy small business entrepreneur that has some type of quality product or service they’re currently marketing.
Or they plan on marketing in the future. Maybe they have a major product launch of some kind planned in the very near future.
And then need to create a massive response rate. So why not let them include one of your best market tested (free lead generating) giveaways, as a free incentive bonus for ordering by a certain date.
You’ll be exposed to a highly targeted potential prospect that is 250% more likely to eventually become a customer and or long term client for literally pennies on the dollar.
Not to mentioned the incredibly powerful implied endorsement from the product launcher that’s offer your info as a free incentive bonus to their valued subscriber base.
Ladies & gents that’s top shelf.
