Building Email Lists with an Answer

Answers Can Build Your Email List 

You can build your list simply by writing answers to targeted questions, whether you have thought about it or not.

Quite simply, you write and submit your answers on your topic of expertise or business nature to popular answer and question directories where people and readers are looking for the information you provide.

Leveraging your viral marketing efforts on answer writing can be rewarding, if done right. In the real sense, you are actually proving your worth and demonstrating your expertise about your knowledge of the subject through the answers you provide. Many times it is very advantageous to provide a link to a page on your blog that already has a wealth of information on that question. You are not necessarily trying to sell them something you are providing more in depth answers to the question. In fact you might write a blog post to answer the question.

So, how can this method in effect build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your answers. In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL. One big plus is that people will begin to ask for you to answer their questions, they can see you as the expert you are.

I strongly suggested that your  URL links to your blog post that relates to the question. The mailing list subscription is gotten in the most natural way by providing value and asking if they want more. Here is where you can get your visitor’s name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.

If your answers are found worth sharing, readers will share your answers together with your blog for their readers and friends. The wonderful result: viral marketing without effort on your part!
