Viral List Builders

Viral list builders are software programs that leverage your own list building efforts by allowing you to gain access to not only the people whom your personally add to your list, but everyone they add also, and so on to some number of levels. I will tell you this, I am not a fan of viral list builders like these, because if you use them to create your list, you lose control of your list---it is not really your list, it is the list of the web site that you choose to use to build your list. So, I do not recommend using these to build your list. Build your list using any and all the other techniques in this book, then join some of these list builders for the purpose of gaining access to your own subscribers’ mailing lists by promoting these sites to your own subscribers. But in all fairness, you should let them know the same thing I just mentioned—that these should be tools for accessing their own subscribers’ mailing lists, not to create their list itself. List Building Coops

List Building Coops are programs that multiply your efforts at marketing by combining your efforts with those of other marketers. Typically, you will simultaneously promote another marketers’ opt in page with your own and the other marketers will do the same. For example, on your opt in page, instead of having one opt in box with just the opportunity for your visitor to opt in to your list, they would see an opt in box that allows them to opt in to your list and other marketers at the same time. In exchange, other marketers do the same thing.

Start Page Exchanges

Start page exchanges are networks that show your web page on other people’s when they open a browser on their computer, in exchange for you doing the same. I have not personally had any success with these, but some marketers who heavily promote them apparently do, so I wanted to mention this only so that your traffic building knowledge would be well-rounded. As with the viral list builders, I only recommend using these if you already have a list, and simply promote these to your list to use. When you are first getting started, if you have a lot of extra time, you can treat these almost like the traffic exchanges, and click on others’ links to gain credits for your own, but I certainly do not recommend these as a long-term strategy.

JV Partners

What are JV partners? JV stands for joint venture and a joint venture partner is, quite simply, someone just like yourself that is marketing online, has a list, and is looking for a way to build his list, just like you are. Now, you cannot do this when you have no list, but as soon as you have about 500, you can get pretty aggressive with this technique.

If you write a strong email and offer a valuable incentive to opting in to your list, you can get as many as 25-35% of a fellow list builders list to opt in to your list. Imagine if you were to assemble a collection of other marketers who have between 500 and 10,000 names each on their lists---perhaps a total of 40,000 email addresses all together. Now, imagine if in one huge JV email swap you could come up with just 25% of their subscriber base as your own. You would add 10,000 subscribers nearly overnight!
