Want To Build Your List of Subscribers?
By Stefani Partin

Do you have a newsletter but don't have the subscriber list
you once imagined having? Going a little extra out of the way
may bring in a few extra subscribers per week. Those few new
subscribers per week can add up, leading to more advertisers
and more sales.

Here are a few ideas to get you going to build your subscriber list.

* Free Stuff - Offer your subscribers a free gift for joining. Heck,
you might want to offer them several free gifts. Some free great
gifts are free ebooks, free reports or maybe free advertising in
your newsletter. There are a ton of ebooks online that you can
download and brand with your website name to give away.

* Ad Swaps - Look online for newsletters that have an audience
that would enjoy what you have to offer and ask the publisher to
swap newsletter ads. There are forums/boards online just for this
ad swap purpose. Here is a forum on Internet Based Moms that
serves just for ad swaps.

* Contests - Offer a monthly or weekly contest for your newsletter.
Make the prize available to those who are members of your newsletter.
You can also ask others to sponsor your contest and provide the
winner with the prize. Of course you would give the contest sponsor
free advertising somewhere but I heard contests bring in lots of new
subscribers.

* Ezine directories - Get your newsletter listed in as many online
ezine directories as you can.

* List Building Services - There are services online that can help
with adding to your subscriber list too. One of the services I
recommend is ListInferno. How these services basically work is
you put a line of code on your site. This line of code produces
a list of newsletters. As you receive hits to your page with that
code on it, your newsletter is then shown on others list of newsletters,
easy enough!

There are plenty of other ways of gaining subscribers to your list.
Just practice with different methods and find the ones that work
for your newsletter.
