How many times have you heard that the money is in the list?
So then the very common question is “how do I grown my email list?”
Here are 13 ways to grow your email list:
- Add social sharing and “email to friend” buttons to emails
- Send more targeted content by creating multiple email subscriptions lists
- Add your landing page link to your all your email signatures
- Test different call to actions
- Put sign up link in your newsletter
Social Media
- Add call to action to your Facebook page
- Comment on blog posts
- Test different call to actions
Website
- Add offers that capture email sign ups throughout your website and various positions of each page (top in header, right sidebar, bottom of page)
- Make sure your opt-in form is highly visible on your website
- Clearly say what benefits the subscriber will get by opting in
- Create a reason to sign up page
- Test different call to actions
Bonus
Ask family and friends to subscribe!
Hi Dawn,
Well it’s my first visit to your blog and wanted to stop by to see what you share.
I can appreciate what you’ve shared here about how to grow a list. Theses are definitely ways to get their attention but you only briefly touched upon that they need to “clearly say what benefits the subscriber will get by opting in”.
No matter how many options you give people to subscribe, they aren’t going to get on your list if you don’t have anything worthwhile to share. The money may be in the list too but if you don’t have a relationship with them and only promote to them like so many people do then you’re just wasting your valuable time.
I know this post was intended to share the different things they can do to get the attention so that people can easily opt-in if they want but just wanted to add my two cents worth.
Hope you are enjoying your week and you take care.

Hi Adrienne, yes I briefly spoke to all of the 13 ways. Sometimes I think a quick list is a good way to get folks thinking. This post wasn’t meant to go into detail, so I chose the bulleted approach. Each of these could probably be a post or two on its own 😉
Thanks for stopping by.
