9 Tips To Building A Relationship With Your List

Hopefully, you're aware of how important it is to have the asset of a list of subscribers in your business.

But knowing that you need one, and even having one doesn't mean the job is done.

Nope... It's just getting started.

The next step is to build a relationship that will make the list profitable.

Today I'm going to share with you 9 tips to help you get that process started.

The only way that you will not get unsubscribes to your list is to never send to them. Not everyone will like your personality or writing style. Those that don’t will never follow your recommendations so it is not a great loss when they unsubscribe.

Let your personality come through to your list. People will buy from you because they trust you. Try to be something you are not and it will come through to your list and you will never develop that trust.

Make sure that you are supplying quality information to your list. Even if you are presenting a product for sale make sure that you are also supplying information. Create the problem and your product as a solution but also let your subscribers learn something about the topic even if they aren’t interested in the product.

If your list is about desserts that should be the topic of your email. Now don’t send marketing tips to your dessert list or desserts to your marketing tips list. Yes, there may be a few that have interests in both (I am one), but the person signed up for a specific topic and you are violating that trust you have worked so hard to create.

Sending multiple items to your list can be extremely confusing to them and never get you the action you are looking to get. Make sure that you have a call to action in every email. Never leave your subscriber wondering what you wanted them to do.

This tends to go with number 5. Make sure that there is a reason for the email that you sent. If you have a purpose then people will tend to keep reading. If they have no idea what your reason is for your email then they will quickly stop reading all of your emails.

Tracking is the only way you will know which of your emails work and which don’t. This will allow you to improve your emails to your list.

You are building a relationship and that is based on trust. Let people know who you are and how to reach you.

If you receive an email from a subscriber, answer it. That goes a long way to building the trust that is necessary to create a customer. People buy from those that they trust.

These tips will go a long way towards helping you to build the relationship that is necessary to build a profitable list.
