The Secret To A Huge Mailing List – EXPOSED

November 16, 2009 | Marketing

This is the secret to list building that they don’t want you to know.

  1. Find or create something which people in your market will find valuable or helpful,
  2. Give it to them in exchange for their email address.
  3. Do this a lot.

Now you know. If you tell anybody else this secret, be sure to whisper.

P.S. Oh, just one more thing. It also helps to have a mailing list solution worthy of building a big list with. and for that, I recommend Aweber. That one isn’t any secret because most people worth their salt like Aweber, too.
