List Building – Using The Power Of Article Writing.

After looking after your customers, list building should be the most important business task that you undertake. Without customers you are lost. With repeat customers you are more profitable. Your list is so important that a large responsive list can be place on your balance sheet. So how can you build your list using article writing?

It goes without saying that you want opt in subscribers to receive your entertaining, informational and promotional materials.

A well written, informative article, posted on a major article site such as ezinearticles.com or articleshut.com will more than recompense you for the time and effort you have taken to write the article. Good articles get passed around the internet, used in ezines and published on web sites. They also establish you as an expert in your field. Keyword packed articles also increase your search engine rankings. All of these activities work towards increasing the flow of traffic to your site. More visitors means more list sign ups, more sales and more profit to you.

So how does this increase your sign ups? Well the key to this is your resource box.

Fill your article with interesting information that piques the interest of the reader. In your resource box put two things:

* A link to your web site
* The email that people contact to join your list.

Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.

The Power of Ten - Do you want to save money and time? Make the most of your marketing efforts? The Power of Ten™ is about taking the concepts of repurposing and leveraging “to the max”. It allows you to innovate and discover new possibilities for any marketing you already have in place. Here’s how it works: Make a list of the most recent 10 marketing items you’ve created or paid to have created. If you don’t have any materials, you can simply list the pieces you plan on creating. Now pick one. It could be an article, ad, poster, anything you have used recently as a marketing tool. Take a fresh look at it. Brainstorm and free write until you find at least 10 different ways to use that piece. You can do this with as many pieces as you want, but for now start with just one. It’s amazing how much time, effort and money you can save using The Power of Ten™. Below is an example using The Power of Ten™ with this very article. Even a very short piece, such as this, can benefit from The Power of Ten™. Here are some ways I can use this tip: 1) It’s part of a new marketing program I’m creating that may be called Marketing Full Circle. 2) It’s on my blog. 3) I can tweet it (knowing that it will show up on LinkedIn and many other sites which display tweets). 4) I can go over to LinkedIn and post it to a group. 5) I can it to my ezine subscribers. 6) I will send it to my clients. 7) If it is a longer article, I can try submitting it to an Article Bank, or two, or three. It started out as part of an answer on Focus.com 9) Eventually it will be part of an eBook on marketing tips. 10) I mention the concept often at speaking engagements.
