How to grow your email marketing list
Using email is an effective way to market your business, as long as you have subscribers (nobody likes spam).
So here are 10 ways to keep and get more subscribers:
1. Make your newsletters interesting
2. Tease your newsletters on social media
Don’t post your complete newsletter on social media. Instead, post a snippet and ask readers to subscribe to read the rest.
For example, a mortgage broker could write: “This month, I include three ways clients can pay off their mortgage faster in my newsletter. Sign up here to find out what they are.”
3. Write blogs
4. Offer something readers will want
To entice readers to sign up for your newsletters, you can offer them something of value.
For example, a credit repair agency could write a short ebook on how to improve your credit score. A lender could write a short ebook on how to maximise your chances of qualifying for a home loan.
If writing an ebook seems like a daunting task, why not outsource it to Hunter & Scribe? Give us the outline and we’ll do the rest. And to keep your ebook interesting, we’ll include case studies.
5. Tell people about your newsletter
Display the fact you have a newsletter everywhere you can – even on the back of your business card.
Invite people to subscribe to your newsletter in your email signature, on your home page and on your social media pages.
6. Include special offers in your newsletters
7. Ask people to forward your newsletters
8. Guest Blog For Other Websites
Offer to write a guest blog for other websites in your industry. For example, a mortgage broker could offer to write a blog for The Adviser. Or a buyer’s agent could write a blog for a real estate agent and vice versa. And yes, writing guest blogs is also something you can outsource to Hunter & Scribe.9. Customise Your Newsletters
Your clients are not all the same, so they may not appreciate receiving the same newsletters. Keep them subscribing by sending them only the information that is relevant to themFor example, property managers could tell their tenants about available properties and how to buy their own homes. In a separate newsletter, they could tell their investor subscribers about the timing of rent increases and where they could buy their next investment property.10. Offer a prize
