Your Free Optin Email List Building Techniques 21 - 30

The *Believe Them* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers about the testimonials or endorsements that you've receive from other subscribers. They will see all the benefits those people received from being on your list. People will believe other subscribers’ advice before they believe you.

The *Collect Them All* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers you offer a free bonus product in every issue. People will subscribe just to start collecting those bonuses. Plus, it will keep people subscribed because they will want to see what the next bonus will be.

The *Next Time* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers what type of content will be in your next issue. They will think that if they subscribe right away, they will be able to read the content in their next issue. It gives them an incentive to subscribe on impulse.

The *Ad Less* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers your list has very little advertisements. People sometimes don't subscribe to free lists or ezines because they think all they get is a bunch of ads. You could even offer an ad-free or an all content/article (with a resource box) version of your list.

The *Give Me Them* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers that you accept article submissions. You’ll get people who will subscribe just so they can submit articles and see them published. You will also get a steady stream of content you can pick and choose from.

The *Swap Me* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers and other ezine publishers that you accept ezine ad trades. People will subscribe just to submit ad trades with you and see if you run their ad. Doing list ad trades can increase your circulation fast.

The *Got Friends* Technique
Tell your current ezine subscribers they can get a free bonus for persuading 3 of their friends, family members or associates to subscribe or by forwarding your ezine to them. You could set up a *tell a friend form* on one of your web pages.

The *It Is Worth* Technique
Tell your potential ezine subscribers how much a subscription to your ezine is worth. You could actually tell them you used to sell subscriptions to it (if it's true). If not, you could say that similar ezines are charging so many dollars per year for a subscription.

The *Targeted Flirt* Technique
Tell or give your potential subscribers a compliment. People like to be complimented and will usually return the favor. It might just tempt them to opt-in to your list. The compliment needs to be something that would be related to your target audience.

The *Give It Away* Technique
Tell your potential or current subscribers they can give away your ezine as a bonus product. Many people need bonuses for their products or services. It will give their prospects an incentive to buy their stuff and build your list at the same time.
