PLUS: (Judging by the previous years) Email will outlast any social media outlet.

Directly contacting your audience gives you the opportunity to bring a visitor or reader back to website over and over again. Whether your e-commerce business is having a promotion, or you’ve added new content to your website that you want your audience to see, direct email has a lot of value in your relationship with your audience.

Here’s the crooks of it: You’re not going to get new subscribers if you don’t ask.

So….

How can you get more email subscribers?

Here are ten tips to get you ahead:

1. Give away something.

Offer something in exchange for an email address. Whether it’s a white paper, a pack of royalty-free graphics, a t-shirt, or anything that makes sense for your company, being able to deliver it by email is a great way to get subscribers. Make sure that you obtain the necessary permissions (e.g. an opt-in) when you are getting email addresses.

2. Use all the copy available to you.

On many online articles, there will be a line of text underneath the title — that’s the byline. It’s a great spot to offer a service, such as alerting readers when new posts are made. When someone signs up for the updates, they’re opting in to getting your emails. This is similar to the Instagram post notifications feature, which allows users to be notified when a certain user posts.

3. Use a widget.

Having a space on every page dedicated to getting email subscribers is a good thing. You might choose to use a widget on the sidebar of your page to ask for emails. However, if you have any significant length of content, that area will disappear as readers scroll down to continue on with your article. For maximum impact, make the widget stand out to really draw attention to it.

4. Use tools.

Familiar with website tools? Try our favourite Opt-In monster , a set of tools aimed at collecting emails. There’s so many options to help grow your list with opt in monster or sumome. Below are a few ideas.

There is a fine line to be toed when it comes to these tools. Overuse could be seen as intrusive and lead to a negative perception.

Make it a menu option.

If you have the background knowledge on how your users are navigating through your website, there could be a big opportunity here. This works best in combinations with the method of giving away something. If you add a link to your giveaways in your menu, you can collect subscribers through that option as well.

Prompts after exit intent.

This method relies on Javascript to track cursor and keyboard actions of website visitors . When the script senses the visitor is intending to leave the website (certain cursor movements or keyboard actions), a pop-up will appear, giving you the opportunity to ask for an email address.

Content specific extras. 

Again, this tip works best when combined with having something to give away. That give away, however, has to be relevant to why the reader is on that specific page in the first place — maybe you had a great article, interesting photos, or a how to guide. By making your content cohesive and beneficial for readers, and including a bonus that builds on what you’ve written, you can get more people wanting to hear what you have to say.

Welcome gate.

Usually shown to first-time visitors of a website, the gate is a subscription box that loads before the webpage is shown. The gate can be modified to be shown in front of any page that any newcomer visits, just the homepage, or a strategy that suits your needs. You don’t necessarily have to give something away for this, either. Simply state what you intend to deliver to the reader that submits their email address, and follow through.

Landing pages.

This can be used in conjunction with promotions through other channels. If you have a social following that you interact with, promote yourself through a link to a landing page that asks for an opt-in. Whether you’re giving something away or providing more information, you’ll be able to funnel a casual audience member (e.g. passive follower on Twitter) to an engaged audience member (one that opts in to receiving your emails.)

Contests.

Continue to convert your casual audience members to engaged ones by giving them a reason to engage. As an example, run a poll on your website to get your readership’s opinion. Ask for the email address to count as a vote, and get their opt-in through this method. You could further the interaction as well by giving something away (a white paper, templates for their own use, etc.)

No matter what tip or tips you use, you still have to get people to your website! Like all businesses, you rely on traffic, and converting that traffic into sales. How can you get more traffic?

Be the poster child.

You might have hated that one kid in your class growing up — always the example that you were supposed to follow — but if you can be that person, it can pay off. When you use someone else’s advice, let them know, and share the impact that it had on you. Dig for resources online, track the ones you use, follow them to a T, and then let the creator know what you did, how you did it (which should be exactly as outlined in their original resource), and what the impact was.

After you share with the creator, share with your audience! Your readership deserves to know what makes you successful, as it may help them in the future. Let the original creator know, again, about your success and how you shared it with your own audience. The original creator may share your results as an endorsement, helping lead traffic back to you.

The social formula.

There are a few steps to the social formula. What it consists of is:

Writing your content — a blog post, an article, whatever suits your company. It has to be great quality, and of significant length. Do your research — what are people looking for? Try to find comments in other articles about the topic you are writing about, and make sure you’ve addressed them in your own content.

Make a list — find the current most-shared articles on the topic of your original content. You can use buzzsumo.com to find these. If your topic was on “how to grow website traffic,” you would probably use terms like build a website, increase site traffic, and so on. Using Buzzsumo, you can find who’s shared an article — voila, you have now found your audience.

Next, contact them! There are many ways to get the email addresses of this audience. Reach out to them and explain that you noticed they shared the article in question, and that you’ve written content that has more information about the subject. Link them to your post, and watch the traffic come.

Reach out.

You probably see this yourself as you surf the Internet — users commenting on blogs, joining forums, talking to Facebook groups, all the with the intent to increase traffic to the content they’re promoting. How can you do this yourself?

If visitors are coming your site because of Facebook, use it! For example, let’s say that you have a website that you want to share with small business owners. See who on Facebook is in your target market, e.g. groups specifically for small business owners in an appropriate geographic area. Join these groups and engage with them, genuinely. Add feedback on posts and comments, read what is relevant to them at this moment via shared articles, and more.

As you continue to engage with the community, make posts yourself. You don’t necessarily have to be promoting your website itself, but contribute to the well-being of the group. This brings you to the top of mind, and drives more traffic to your website. Don’t spam, though — you need to show since interest and deliver on what you say.

With the amount of tactics outlined above, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Some will be more appropriate for your website and email list than others. Gaining email addresses and driving site traffic takes time, but all it takes is starting on one — and maybe only one — tip to get the ball rolling for you.

Hope this helps.

So, you should be getting on snapchat. For your brand, company, clothing company etc etc.

Snapchat doesn’t have an internal follow unfollow network, so its hard get found…. So here’e how you get traction.

Create a Snapchat Code . So if people scan it on snapchat they add you. 

Then add the account to http://snapchat.codes & http://ghostcodes.com

It may be best to style the Snapchat QR code so it has your brand logo, and so your logo is in the ghost.
This will need careful testing however to make sure it works, as stylising the QR can often cause errors.

 < Example.

Make the Snapchat QR  your profile image on your Facebook profile and Twitter page, as well as placing it anywhere else that your brand is seen most frequently online

You really want to publicise this code as much as possible: promoted posts with it on Facebook (you can always make it a dark page post if you’re worried about it not fitting with your current wall content, and can make this post public when it has had a good amount of engagements), stickers, t-shirts — any promotional material and promotion medium you have at your disposal

Content 

Snapchat can be scrappy throw away content, so feel free to do that….but if you want…..

Content

Snapchat can be scrappy throw away content — there’s no rule that says you can’t do that, and many brands treat it this way with some great results. However…

You can upload your own edited images with the apps ‘Snap Cracked’ or ‘Upload n Roll’

The image size ratio is 9:16, so it fills the fullscreen (1200 x 2134 is recommended). Getting your designer to make daily images or videos this size will allow them to  fill device screens when they’re uploaded.

And that’s all there is to it!

So here’s a script you can copy and paste to ask for shout outs. Nice and simple really, so simple its usually overlooked.

First off you have to be able to message the account on Instagram you want the shout out from. Some accounts won’t allow this. Most should.

SO HERE’S THE SCRIPT 

DIRECT MESSAGE PART 1.

<COPY> Hi, love your account! Seeing as we are both in the INSERT YOUR NICHE HERE sphere, do you want to give each other a shoutout on our respective pages to direct new followers to each other? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks < END COPY>

People will usually get back within a day or so…

DIRECT MESSAGE PART 2.
<COPY>Just something like “Follow our friends at @INSERT YOU USERNAME HERE for great INSERT YOUR NICHE HERE photos like this!” would be great.< END COPY>

and then send them a picture. Don’t forget to ask what picture & text they’d like sharing. and share it.

Nice and simple, as long as your niche’s are the same and your images are quality. You’ll be able to get some decent shout-outs if you choose the right accounts.

This might not be for everyone, but should work for smaller accounts trying to grow.

Content quality is important too, but what usually gets overlooks (because it’s not all that sexy) is commitment to frequency.

Commitment to your marketing frequency, strategy & commitment to running your ads.

Instant results are rare, ( not as rare as you may think) when people don’t see instant results they want to pull the plug on their marketing, they don’t want to be seen as spamming….they’re not, and chances are you’re not either.

The following was written by Thomas Smith on effective frequency…

1. The first time people look at any given ad, they don’t even see it.

2. The second time, they don’t notice it.

3. The third time, they are aware that it is there.

4. The fourth time, they have a fleeting sense that they’ve seen it somewhere before.

5. The fifth time, they actually read the ad.

6. The sixth time they thumb their nose at it.

7. The seventh time, they start to get a little irritated with it.

8. The eighth time, they start to think, “Here’s that confounded ad again.”

9. The ninth time, they start to wonder if they’re missing out on something.

10. The tenth time, they ask their friends and neighbors if they’ve tried it.

11. The eleventh time, they wonder how the company is paying for all these ads.

12. The twelfth time, they start to think that it must be a good product.

13. The thirteenth time, they start to feel the product has value.

14. The fourteenth time, they start to remember wanting a product exactly like this for a long time.

15. The fifteenth time, they start to yearn for it because they can’t afford to buy it.

16. The sixteenth time, they accept the fact that they will buy it sometime in the future.

17. The seventeenth time, they make a note to buy the product.

18. The eighteenth time, they curse their poverty for not allowing them to buy this terrific product.

19. The nineteenth time, they count their money very carefully.

20. The twentieth time prospects see the ad, they buy what is offering.

He wrote that in 1885. Flash forward to 2015 and this still holds true.
Commitment and longevity to your marketing strategy is important if you want results.

Keep that in mind and hold your nerve.

It’s much easier to create a product for an existing market, than create a product and find a market.

2. Link your product to a primal desire.

Don’t try and create a desire for your product. Find an existing desire.

3. Get specific.

You gonna go with the guy who does a bit of everything or the guy that specialises in solving your problem? So specialise (within reason)

4. One call to action.

Asking people to do one thing always out performs multiple options.

5. Focus on the benefits.

What does your product solve? Start with that. More money? more time? Less stress? Better sound quality? Longer lasting caffeine buzz? What?

6. Your customer knows nothing.

When creating your content, use your caveman voice. Ask yourself, can anyone understand this? Be basic, clear and concise.

7. It’s never about you.

Know-one cares about you, your product etc etc.
Who really reads the about page?

8. Tell your story.

Good* stories are remembered and told again and again. Make one up if you have to.

9. It’s not for everyone.

Defining who your product isn’t for is equally as powerful as defining who it is for…

10. Use social proof.

10,000 people cant be wrong, right? People generally look to other people similar to themselves when making decisions.

11. Use Testimonials.

Everyone knows you think you’re great. It’s better to show who else thinks you’re great.

12. Help as much as you can for free.

Give as much information away for free as you can. Answer every question before they arise. Reciprocation is powerful. People feel obliged to return favours offered to them.

13. Data will get you part of the way.

Think freely, teardown and rebuild.

14. People like people like themselves.

People like people like themselves, & who they want to be.
It’s that simple. Google “Mirroring in Body Language”

15. Feelings win.

People don’t remember what they read, they remember how they feel.

16. Adverts work.

Everyone thinks “Adverts don’t work on me”.

17. Keep it simple.

The best landing pages, adverts, and and ideas are the simple ones. Cut the fat, remove anything that isn’t necessary.
