3 Proven Ways to Start Building Your Email List Now
Your email list is like the foundation of a house: it provides stability and structure, which everything else needs to move forward. With that in mind, the quality of your email list is what spells the difference between a successful email marketing campaign and something that falls flat on its face. Fortunately, these three steps will help you build an outstanding email list you’ll be proud of:
1. Add a Personalized CTA to Each Landing Page
Your landing pages serve an essential purpose for your company. They give customers a centralized location for knowledge and conversion and provide the information customers need to thrive within your company. Unfortunately, most landing pages aren’t nearly as productive as they could be, were their CTAs updated just a bit.According to HubSpot, merely adding a personalized CTA to a landing page can boost view-to-submission rate by about 42%. The reason for this is simple: people visiting your blog post or page are looking for specific information or invitations, and personalized CTAs deliver those.
2. Start a Newsletter and Share it on Social
If you subscribe to a newsletter like Tim Ferriss’s “5-Bullet Friday,” you know how valuable and engaging an excellent publication like this can be. If you have yet to start a newsletter for your company, now is a great time to do it. Even if you don’t currently have a long list of email subscribers, creating a valuable piece of content - like an email list - is an excellent way to engage would-be subscribers and give them a chance to hop on board. Once you’ve started the newsletter, go ahead and share it on your social platforms. You can also add a link to sign-up to your email signature.
3. Create a Sense of Urgency Around Signing Up
Using a sense of urgency is an old trick in the marketing world. It’s especially applicable, though, when it comes to your email marketing. In addition to adding strategically-placed and highly personalized CTAs to your landing pages, encourage clients to sign up for your email list immediately. You want them to feel like they’re missing out on something if they don’t sign up right away. Once they do, reinforce that understanding by offering a high-quality piece of content - like an ebook or a guide - immediately. Another helpful tactic is to tease the content of your newsletter. For example, you might say, “Get best-in-class marketing tips: sign up now!”
Building Your Best Email List
Email marketing, when done correctly, can be a significant boon for your company. Before you can do that, though, you’ve got to master the process of building your email list. This, of course, can be easier said than done. Fortunately, following the tips laid out in this post is a great way to start building momentum around your email list sign-ups, and to lay the foundation for your long-term email marketing.
