How to Create a Win-Win Situation to Improve Your Email List Building
For email list building to be a win-win situation for you and your subscribers, and therefore have the best chance of making money from it, you should ensure you send your mailing list only useful information which is relevant to them. It’s like with those life Cover Plans for 50s, when you’re in your 20s and 30s – don’t you just hate getting those! Don’t commit such a faux pas with your own list building.
If you do your list building right and know who your subscribers are, you can use your mailing list to really boost your online marketing efforts. You can use it to warm up potential clients or pre-sell goods and services. If you’re not using your list building like this, your business marketing is not as effective as it could be. It’s as simple as that.
Offering free gifts is a great way to pre-sell and is a great inducement to get people to sign up to your mailing list. Let’s now turn our attention to choosing and creating the right free offer to achieve your business aims.
Freebies Build Trust
People love to get something for free. If they can get a useful free gift and all they have to do for that is to leave their email address with you, then they will be happy to do it.
The simple offer of a free newsletter from your website is very effective at building trust and building your mailing list. It will set you up as an expert, capable of passing on useful information. But, be sure to fill it with information that your subscribers will actually be interested in. also, a little humor always helps.
Quality Control
Your list building depends upon providing quality information to the people on your mailing list. If you have a website that is just chock full of good quality information that is useful to people, it will bring in more visitors and many of them will sign up for your mailing list.
A good way of proving your expertise at something is to write about it. Write articles, a book, an e-book etc. and give them away for free. Any type of publication that can get your material out in front of the public can be very successfull. And don’t let the idea of a book overwhelm you. You can simply take articles, short stories, essays etc. that you’ve already done and “stitch” them together.
You’ll be surprised at how all these steps can work together to add prospects to your mailing list.
Here are the most effective ways to get mailing list subscribers using free offers:
Offer a free subscription in relevant newsgroups
Offer a free subscription in related email discussion lists
Offer a free subscription in relevant emails
Offer a free subscription in classified ads
Offer a free subscription in relevant forums
Offer a free subscription in your email signature
Issue press releases to publicize your free newsletter

Offer a free subscription to members of relevant online clubs and organizations
Exchange sponsorships with other related, but not competitive newsletters
Offer “gift subscriptions” in your newsletters whereby someone can go to a webpage and give a subscription to a friend.

Roman at Marketing Maximum has helped me to build ideas and generate the basis of my marketing plan for my photography business. We have done this over the telephone and though we have never met face-to-face, Roman was able to gather the information required about my business via a structured questionnaire. Through this process, he recognised the areas that I need to focus on and has given structure to my marketing plan. He has been available on the telephone when I needed, making communication quick and easy. I would recommend Roman to anyone who needs help creating and implementing their marketing plan.
I have to say before i met Roman my online business was crap! I had very few visitors to my website and next to zero income.But actually after just one meeting with Roman he was right down to business. Me and him had a long detailed conversation about what all of my current mistakes i was making for marketing my website and within that same day we started to make the changes manually one by one. 
I saw Roman's offer for a free short video to help market my business online and took him up on it. He did a fantastic job and produced a very high quality video that was perfect first time.
