How To Build A Better Email List on BetterNetworker
Check out this really cool article - 5 Steps on How To Build a Better Relationship With Your Email List on BetterNetworker
Email List Marketing - 5 Steps To Building Better Relationships With Your List
"Hey, My name is Andrea."
"Hi Andrea. Nice to meet you!"
"Would you like to buy my online course? It's only $47 bucks and I guarantee it will teach you all you need to know about building a business online...Hello...HELLO?!
No matter which end of the conversation you are on, it's not pleasant for either. I didn't get my sell and you feel bothered and annoyed!
Cold selling, which is similar to "cold calling," is when someone who doesn't know you, doesn't know what you want or what you are
Do you like getting calls from telemarketers? Do you like signing up for email newsletters expecting value, only to be slapped with offers? Do you click links for products on facebook or in tweets from people you haven't heard of?
I can't tell you how many times a day I get phone calls, emails, and facebook messages showing me some kind of cold offer. Cold selling is the fastest way to lose credibility and respect from people who may have eventually purchased from you and maybe even help you promote and market your products.
- So the question is, how can we as internet entrepreneurs, bloggers, and online network marketers sell something to people online, without cold selling?
The answer is simple: Turn cold traffic warm by building a RELATIONSHIP with your list.
Relationships create trust, credibility, security... Build a relationship with your list and you'll quickly find that the cold selling dissipates. Become their friend, be real, be candid, invite them to interact and engage with you. The more you interact with your list the better chance you'll have of them sticking around and helping you out in the future. Whether it is sharing your next blog posts, linking to you on their website, buying something from you, or becoming an affiliate.
Here are 5 super simple ways you can interact and engage with your list so you can begin to build and solidify those so important relationships.
1. Be Present
There is no way to build a relationship with your list if you are hiding all the time. Be upfront, be authentic, tell people exactly who you are, what you do and what you are all about! I am a big proponent of being candid and transparent. That is one of the reasons why this blog has as successful as it has.
If you can create content and provide information that let's your personality shine through, you are primed for connecting with readers on a deeper level. Show your picture every once in a while, share your family photos. People will be attracted to what you have to say and what you have to offer. So make sure you put your face on your website...and don't forget to smile!
I mean really, how many successful blogs have you come across that don't have a face or personality connected to it?
2. Comments Bring Your Blog To Life
Another great way to build relationships is to get the other party to interact with you. There is not easier way to do this than with commenting. If people take time to fill out their name, website, and email address when making a comment, that's time they are giving to you. That's time they are contributing to the vitality of your website.
Not only will people ask you questions or add to what you've posted about, but it will encourage others to step out and do the same. So make sure you ask for comments! Encourage your readers! Talk about things that will get them commenting!
Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below =)
3. Respond!
For every comment that someone makes on your blog or website, it is important to respond and to engage back. Let your readers know you are listening to them and appreciate their feedback. It may take you a little bit more time or add a few extra minutes of work to your day but it is simple to do. Responding to people's comments, emails, and inquiries is the next best thing to meeting that person and having a conversation with them
People do notice and appreciate when you take the time to respond. They'll remember the gesture and feel a sense of connection. So when you do post something or offer a product, they will be much more inclined to give it a look.
4. Network, Network, Network
Joining social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter and becoming friends with people of similar interest is a great way to get to know people in ways that others do not. Some of the greatest business success I've had has come from friendships I've built with friends online.
By simply accepting a friend request, you are planting the seeds to a new relationship. How you nurture and cultivate that seed is up to you but the more seeds you plant to more chances you have of developing long lasting and meaningful relationship.
Make sure you give people the opportunity to because your friend on the various social media platforms. Include links in your blog posts, in your sidebar or in your emails just like I did above.
5. Take Baby Steps
A great way to set yourself up for a sell is to prime your traffic with baby transactions. Take them through the process of Thought ==> Action ==> Receive. These are small things like:
- Answering a survey
- Entering contact info into an opt-in form for a weekly newsletter
- Entering contact info into an opt-in form for a free gift
- Offering a prize or reward for taking some type of action
These baby transactions train the mind, so that when you offer a product your traffic actually has to pay for, they are not paralyzed by the unknown, but a re comfortable because they trust you and have gone through the thought process before.
So based on your experience...which one of these steps has made the most impact on your online business?

Quality traffic for your online business always outweighs the quantity traffic your website sees. As you may know, quality traffic is buying traffic and traffic that buys means more product sales and more profits for you. Too many marketers focus on the number of leads they collect for their email mailing list versus targeting people who are more likely to be interested in your product, service or business opportunity.
When you have the right tools and resources you can hone in on the quality traffic for your online business and stop wasting time with traffic that is never going to buy from you. This means that for those of you in the home based business industry – perhaps internet marketers, network marketers, or affiliate marketers – focusing on the following free traffic tips will help you convert more traffic into sales. Finding a quality stream of traffic is extremely easy when you have the right resources. This way you don’t need as much traffic to get some awesome results.
Free Quality Traffic For Your Online Business – Tip #1
Capitalize On Facebook. Facebook is the king of content and targeted marketing. Their whole social networking platform is based on grouping people together that share similar interests. You have the ability to target quality traffic for your online business based on the books they read, their education level, down to where they live. Once you learn how to tap into this endless pool of prospects…all your traffic problems are over.
Free Quality Traffic For Your Online Business – Tip #2
Use Syndication Tribes. Syndication tribes are the ultimate bloggers paradise. A tribe is where you can share your content and have it syndicated or submitted to Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Digg, etc. by others in the group in exchange for sharing a few posts of theirs. It’s the law of reciprocity. You share my content and I’ll share yours on all the social network and bookmarking sites on the internet. Pretty simple concept, but EXTREMELY POWERFUL!
In fact this tactic is SO powerful that if you are just getting started online it will help you get tons of quality backlinks AND your blog posts will get shared by thousands of others which will help you build up your daily traffic and leads fast. You can join a syndication tribe for free here to start getting your content shared. I HIGHLY recommend that you take advantage of the paid trial period so you can immediately being to use the auto-syndicate feature. This way you are running on autopilot and you don’t have to worry about manually sharing individual tribe member’s content. You can also have others automatically send out your content each time you publish a post too. I get hundreds and hundreds of shares on the content I create using this tool.

Free Quality Traffic For Your Online Business – Tip #3
Focus on Forums. With social media being all the rave, forums tend not to get as much credit as they deserve. Sites such as BettwerNetworker and Warrior Forum are great niche specific communities of network marketers, internet marketers and affiliate marketers. These sites get tons of quality traffic and you can find people who are involved in home based businesses, many of whom are just getting started. These sites are excellent for posting content, participating in discussions and connecting with people who are actually looking for some guidance. By posting quality content and posting it as an article you can attract massive traffic as these sites are high authority sites with high pageranks and are popular with google.
Free Quality Traffic For Your Online Business – Tip #4
Hypnotic Headlines. What good is it to implement all of these quality traffic building strategies if no one reads your content. Whether you are in a tribe, on BetterNetworker, or posting on Facebook. you must be able to attract targeted traffic and grab peoples attention. Too many people neglect the power of a good headline and even more neglect choosing a keyword that people are actually searching for. You must have a good, descriptive, engaging headline with a targeted keyword phrase that draws people in and makes them want to read more about what you have to say. Don’t you look at the TITLE of the blog post, video or article first before deciding if you want click through to continue viewing?
Think about what kind type of people you want to attract with your content. Do you want the kind of people who are serious about building a business from home and genuinely looking to invest money on quality products? I do! Be careful how you craft your headline and before your hit publish, ask yourself if your ideal prospect would click this link.
By implementing these free quality traffic tips you can begin to drive targeted traffic to your blog quickly. If you want to learn more about how to get more traffic, more leads and more sales online click the link below!
