Build Your Email Marketing List
Twitter - Tweet to your list that you’ll give something of value to those that join your list. Use a bit.ly link to send them to your hosted opt-in form and track.
Facebook - Send an email through Facebook to your Facebook fans and friends asking them to join your list. Direct them to the website address where you have your opt-in form hosted and entice them to sign up by giving them a discount or special offer.
Use What You’ve Got – Send everyone on your list of personal friends and business colleagues who know you, an email from you personally asking them to join your list. Don’t forget to include the value they’ll be getting from you, like discounts, coupons or information that is exclusive to them. And since you know them, chances are they’ll join pretty quickly.
Increasing your email marketing database will be manageable and gradually grow over time with regular and consistent work.
