Building a mailing list should be one of your priorities as an Internet marketer. It enables you to follow up on offers closely as many prospective buyers needs time to consider before making a purchase especially if it involves a costly product. Here are some tips to helping you build a huge mailing list.

1. Name Squeeze Pages – This type of pages are specifically built to capture your visitor’s name and e-mail address. They are basically only simple pages with a subscription box and an offer or freebie available normally in the form of an e-book or downloadable software. This method is one of the popular choices because it is easy to implement.

2. Forums – Take advantage of the forum traffic. Reply to unanswered questions in the forum and show that you are familiar in your niche. Do not forget to put a link to your subscriber page in the signature box. Make sure you read all the forum rules and regulation before posting.

3. Sales Letter – Write a sales letter as if you are going to sell something but at the bottom of it is only a subscription box to your mailing list. Bring up the benefits of your newsletter and present it as if it were a product to sell. You will be actually selling something, which is your newsletter at no cost.

4. Use Pop-Ups – Many may not favor this method but it does bring results. Try to keep the size of the pop-up window small and not too flashy. As long as it is a pop-up visitors will notice it anyway. Make sure that your pop-up will be able to close with a simple mouse click.

5. Ads Exchange – Contact other newsletter or e-zine and propose for an ad exchange. Make sure your mailing list subscribers and his are more or less of equal size else it would be a one sided deal. Scan through the e-zine providers in the Internet and choose one of the same niche.

6. E-zine Directories – Submit to as many e-zine directories as possible. There are paid and free ones available in the Internet. It is good to have a mixture of both to maximize your e-zine exposure to readers. Look thru the search engines and find one that is within your budget.

7. Article Banks – Write free articles and submit them to article banks or article directories. At the bottom of each article there is a resource box for the author or contributor. Include a little bio about yourself or your website and most importantly include a link that points to your subscription box.

8. Solo-Ads – You can buy solo-ads in other e-zines. Solo-ads are slightly more expensive but worth the attention. The readers only get to see your ads and not any other distracting ads that are around. Make sure your ad is well written with only one purpose, which is to attract subscribers.
