Marketing your services online or offline can be a daunting task and one that never ends and building your opt in list can be even more challenging. In today’s marketplace every business competes with thousands of other companies and sometimes it all comes down to how well you market your services that count. I have spent a better part of the last 6 weeks concentrating solely building my opt-in subscriber list.

Building my subscriber list is a valuable marketing tool for me and I give a lot of value to my subscribers that sign up to receive our FREE SEO Tips of the Day. They are readers that are truly interested in what I have to say and I am excited to share my knowledge about search engine optimization and internet marketing with them on a daily basis.

Let me share with you my 10 marketing approaches that helped double my subscriber list in six weeks.

1. Make blog posts that entice readers  to learn more. Add a call to action at the end of all your post…in our
    case it was to sign up for our FREE SEO Tips.

2. Answered questions on Yahoo!  Answers. Set up an account with Yahoo Answers and frequently sign into your related subject area and share some of your knowledge by answering  questions in your field. Invite your reader to signup for your newsletter to  learn more about your subject.

3. Set up a Google Alerts for some  of your keyword phrases so when any one blogs about your subject you will be notified via email. Comment on the Blogs that you feel you can contribute to  and it will send new traffic to your site.

4. Answer emails from authorative sites. Often authorative Web sites will send emails out looking for  information from its subscribers in exchange for free listings or  advertising in their publications. Take a few extra minutes to read what  they have to say …who knows it may just land you a free listing in their  newsletter or magazine.

5. Submit articles to Industry related  newsletters. Most publishers are always on the look out for new articles  to publish in their publications.

6. Look in your own backyard for  publications you can submit your articles to. Chambers of Commerce’s are a good place to start. They are always looking for material to help their  members and if you have an article that could be of interest they often will  include it in their publications sending you new traffic and most times for free.

7. Hold free mini seminars or  workshops to answer questions in your field of expertise in exchange for  sign ups to your subscriber list.

8. Participate in business expos  and offer a chance for a give away in exchange for a signup to your subscriber list.
