Email lists are a necessity for the serious internet marketer. If you aren’t collecting email addresses with double optin verification you aren’t making the amount of money you should be. Following the email marketing best practices will help you build your email lists quickly with high quality addresses.
Using the double optin or email verification method will give you lists of customers that you know really want your communications in their email. If you don’t use the double optin method you run the risk of being labeled a spammer just because you didn’t verify the address. Email lists that are double optin or have verified addresses are worth more than those that are just single optin.
Why should you start collecting emails for your email lists?
- More repeat sales
- Loyalty of customers
- Trust
- Branding of your website or product
- Sending Newsletters to customers
Your email lists will allow you to communicate with your customers in a more intimate way than your website can. You can gain their trust and make more sales when you have good lists and don’t spam them with all kinds of junk. You can use your lists to build trust and loyalty and keep your customers for a longer time which means more money for you.
The biggest problem with building email lists is it can take a long time to get a good sized list. There are a couple of ways you can get around this problem and they work and can help you build your own email lists to a much larger size.
You can do a joint marketing venture with someone who already has a large list and you will be able to get some of those people to signup for your email list. The biggest obstacle to this method is you need a product to promote that your JV partners are also interested in promoting. If they aren’t interested in promoting it your email lists won’t grow much.
Another way to build your email lists if to buy a list from someone. However you really do want to make sure it’s a legitimate list of people who are interested in what you have to offer them. Preferably the list should have been built with the double optin method so you don’t get labeled a spammer. After all that is done you should have a great chance to get those people to subscribe to your own list. Most lists go for a one time fee so it can be a good way to build a high quality list of email addresses.
