Build Your List For Less Money

By Lisa Angelettie

There are literally tons of ways out there to build your opt-in list. Really good strategies. Trouble is - is that many of them can take years to cultivate and work for your business, or the other problem is that many of them can cost big bucks.

Haven't we all heard the story of online entrepreneurs who are told by experts to build their lists fast by using pay per click strategies, then 30 days later they have spent hundreds even thousands of dollars (depending on keyword selection) with pretty meager results.

Not to mention that they paid probably a couple hundred bucks for some pay per click guru to teach them how do it!

Well it's horror stories just like these which is why I prefer low-cost and no-cost strategies for building my various lists - and building them quickly - with highly qualified prospects. And when it comes to building my lists for less money, there is no better method than writing articles.

Writing articles for your business is one of-- if not the most time-tested list and traffic building strategy that will literally cost you nothing to implement. Best of all, you can do this even if you've never written anything in your life. Especially when you follow my formula for success...

1. Think about a problem that your niche needs you to solve

2. Write a 400-600 word article on that topic

3. Optimize your article with keywords for maximum exposure

4. Write a bio at the end that leads readers to what you want them to do next

5. Make sure there is a way to capture leads at that next step

6. Do it all over again with another article

Each and every step in this article success formula is easy-to-do and best of all costs you nothing but a bit of your time. It's a perfectly recession-proof method of building your list consistently -- and best of all the more you write -- the bigger your list. You totally control how fast you want to build your list, by how often you want to work the formula.

So if you've been really stumbling around for cost-effective ways to build your online business in this tough market - try writing a few articles on your business, your products, your services, and your solutions. Remarkably, you will watch how fast you can build a high-quality list of prospects -- and love it!
