3 Critically Important List Building Tips - By: Heather P. Knight

List building is the heart of sales conversions in internet marketing. Not only can it bring you faster sales funnel conversions, but it's the foundation to the holy grail of running a profitable home based business: 100% Profit Repeat Sales. Most people ignore 3 critical, under the radar tips of list building which are:

1. Think beyond the old generation lead capture page.

Think outside the box. Everyone has seen the old and trusty lead capture page, but since it's not such a novel idea anymore, many people are becoming resistant to just "opting in" because you say so. Take your list building to social media, and be sure to use an invites on your Facebook profile and fan page.

Be sure to invite and call viewers to action on your video scripts and descriptions and invite them to your blog (with a hover/floating capture form video etc.) and use tweets and and networking on YouTube channels to invite people to your Facebook fan page to "hang out" with you. With a well thought out and simple, subtle fan page strategy, you can get people to grab a "free training vid or ebook" in exchange for clicking and opting into your "inner circle" e-newsletter.

The point is to think outside the conventional list building box and be creative in ways to work and weave your fans, buddies, subscribers and traffic into your lead capture offers.

2. Put the "Social-ism" Into Your List Building.

While we're talking about social aspects to list building, let's talk a bit about your list building "style" too. Relax and put a little social-ism" into your marketing. Invite and ask people BEFORE they opt in or buy from you to "get to know you first" on Facebook, YouTube or any other 3rd party social site and extend the sales process.

By extending the process and giving people a chance to "hang out" with you, you can then, in a casual and relaxed way, send out private messages or updates and invite your "buddies" to grab some cool stuff by getting on your list. Inside Facebook fan pages you can actually "broadcast" a message to all your fans at one which is a HUGE piece of leverage.

The psychology is this: Who moved my cheese? Things have changed fast with social media, and now list building is easier when you're simply taking on the mindset of finding "like minded strangers" and then "turning strangers into friends" and you can do that by directing your cold traffic into a social environment, adding increase into them and being social, and then simply inviting your "buddies" to your list.

Psychological Concept:

It's easy to say NO to a "salesman" and "internet marketer" but it's almost humanly and physiologically impossible to say NO to a friend. "Hey man, it's my free newsletter and I'll send you cool free stuff!" Totally different psychology and it can build you a more warmed up and positive list than just your cold marketing alone.

3. VIDEO List Building. SHOW me the love!

Be sure to warm up your cold traffic and relate with them with video. Share your story with them and paint a word picture of your "crusade" and how fighting with you, you can buddy up and conquer the world! Video adds a whole new dimension to your list building and it doesn't only have to be performed on a lead capture page.

You can inject your awesome and authentic personality on videos and share them on video email post cards, on Facebook, in your press releases, on your blog and just everywhere. Use the power of video media to warm up cold traffic and at the bare minimum, to help filter, sift and sort in only like minded people that are resonating with your story and your message. It blows my mind how many people totally ignore the power of video in list building.

Putting these list building "under the radar" tips in mind and taking action on their implementation will go a long way to helping you increase the magnetic pulling power of your overall list building campaigns. Be sure to take some action immediately on some of these tips as they can quickly be implemented in any niche.
