Do You Know The Holy Grail of Internet Marketing?

Collecting e-mail addresses is one of the most important things you can do to help promote your business. This one thing is more important than almost anything else you will do. How do you gather these needed addresses? Here are 7 Ways to Collect Email Addresses and Build Your Mailing List.

==========================================

=> Way #1 - OFFER A FREEBIE

You have to give in order to receive. If you want people to offer up their email address, you’re going to have to offer up an incentive.

=> Way #2 - USE POP-UPS

Pop-ups are one of the most common methods you can use to capture email addresses and build your email list quickly and with ease provided you use them responsibly. Simply construct a web page containing code for a form and set the page to open (pop up) when visitors ENTER OR EXIT your site.

- Word to the Wise: If you need a pop-up, you can pick one up F-R-E-E (there’s that word again) from Empowerism at: Empowerism

=> Way #3 - USE POSTCARDS

If you have a mailing list that contains snail mail (street) addresses, convert it into an email list by sending out a postcard and inviting people to VISIT YOUR WEBSITE to receive a gift of some kind -- a report, a discount coupon, etc. Visitors don’t have to pay in order to receive their gifts, they simply need to enter an email address.

=> Way #4 - SUBSCRIBER BOX ON EVERY PAGE

This is a clever trick that so many people overlook. Put a RESPONSE FORM ON EVERY PAGE of your website offering a newsletter or other freebie. This will increase the number of email addresses you capture exponentially.

- A Word to the Wise: If you don’t know how to create an opt-in form, no worries. Empowerism has a foolproof build your own tool made just for you! Just click here and create an account: at: Empowerism

=> Way #5 - CONTESTS

Contests very often prove to be a good way to generate traffic and buzz for your business. Create a contest and put a form on your site or in a pop-up box. The entry "fee" is their email address.

=> Way #6 - DISPLAY YOUR AUTORESPONDER ADDRESS

Most people give their website link when they place solo ads, ezine ads, or other marketing messages. To be one step ahead of the game in collecting email addresses, LIST YOUR AUTORESPONDER ADDRESS instead of your URL. This way you can capture email address and funnel them into your follow-up sales letters.

-Word to the Wise: Don’t have an autoresponder? GetResponse will give you one, and make sure you know exactly what to look for to find the "pick of the litter." Just click here and create a free account: at: GetResponse

=> Way #7 - JUST ASK

If you’re chatting with a prospect on the phone or a potential customer stops by your place of business, don’t be shy: ask for an email address or business card (which usually includes their email address).
