Building Email Circulation

Watch this revealing Mequoda/SIPA Webinar with 41 Sources You Could be Using to Increase Website Traffic & Attract Qualified Email Subscribers

Discover 41 priceless strategies that real-world publishers are using to drive traffic to their websites.

Dear publishing colleague,

How are you driving traffic to your website? Is that traffic being converted into email subscribers?

Have you tried social media? Perhaps you’ve tried link-building by leaving comments on the blogs of your competitors? I’ll go ahead and assume that you’re posting online press releases, but are you including links back to your website, freemiums and landing pages?

Some publishers, like Real Simple have discovered that putting their URL on every piece of home improvement products they sell in retail stores. Once someone types in the URL, it’s up to Real Simple to have adequate conversion architecture set up to capture that person’s email address.

Others have found that building internal links on their websites (through website navigation, embedded text links and restricted site access) works well for building email circulation.

If you’ve already tried a few of these, I hope you’re still looking for as many ways as possible to build your email list. Publishers are getting clever, and the 41 ways to build email circulation that we’ve compiled into this list is proof.

Email circulation and revenue per email subscriber should be the two key metrics for every Online Publishing and Marketing System. The first priority for system operators is building email circulation.

In this Building Email Circulation webinar, industry analyst and consultant Don Nicholas will take you through all the brilliant strategies online publishers are using to develop their audience.

You’ll walk out of this webinar with a checklist that includes dozens of best practice examples that Don has either observed or helped to create.

Go beyond the basics when tackling audience development

There are three components to building email circulation once you have your complimentary products. Your complimentary products are special reports, white papers or otherwise, easily-downloaded or viewed products  freely given on the web in exchange for an email address.

Your rapid conversion landing page (aka: name-squeeze page) is the page that describes your complimentary product. Every rapid conversion landing page deserves a unique campaign around it.

Beyond free products, it’s important that every page on your site is optimized to convert visitors into email subscribers. This way, no matter what page a user lands on in  your site, they’re enticed to join your list and keep in contact with you going forward.

In this webinar we’ll go over all the necessary elements of conversion architecture you can use on your own website in order to collect more email addresses, no matter where a user comes from.

Once you have all of these items set up, you can start digging into a giant list of ways to start building your email circulation including:

  • Giving access to premium content in exchange for an email address
  • Adding a “subscribe to our email list” check box to your magazine or newsletter order forms
  • Collecting email addresses even when someone abandons an order form
  • Using social networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn
  • Pushing traffic from your print products to your online content
  • Printing your URL on any physical products you sell
  • and many, many more ways that we’ll discuss during this webinar.
