Hit that button down there give me a thumbs up if you would and don't forget ring the bell turn on all bell notifications so you're notified every single time I do a new video or I go live. Now let's jump right into this we don't want to waste any time I want you to start building your list and the quicker the quicker you do it the better and that's the first thing I want to tell you is don't wait man don't wait in the beginning I waited and I didn't build my email list I was really sorry later. Now here's the important thing about an email list. Did you know it costs you five times as much to add somebody to your email list than it does to just keep them on the list? So the first thing we want to do is keep them on the list okay we don't want to lose any subscribers you want to focus on long-term retention of your subscribers and the best way you're going to do that is provide them with good content okay you can't just always ask them to buy something from you or you're going to lose subscribers. Number one you want to create a personalized CTA or call to action so on every page that somebody's on on your website it should be a personalized thing so let me give you an example let's say you have a blog in one particular blog you're talking about camping okay and you're talking about surviving in the woods you may want to have a pop-up on that page or a place on that page where it gives them 10 tips to survive in the wilderness or 10 tips for camping in the Midwest or whatever it is but that pop-up that opt-in should be specific to whatever that article is. Now you may say well jr I don't have opt-ins I don't have PDFs to do all these things man I recommend you just go over to something like textbroker.com you outline what you want and you have somebody write some of these PDFs for you I mean literally you can get these done for maybe 10 or 20 dollars you know eight steps on a PDF that's two pages long and you know for you know 50 or 100 bucks you know you could add five or 10 of these that you could use in your website and as downloads and lead magnets to really help you build your list. And number two since we're talking about pop-ups and all this stuff make sure you have one for every single page of your website you don't want to miss a single opportunity it's like where do you want to get subscribers from just these three pages or all the pages on your website so make sure you create a pop-up or an opt-in for every single page on your website. Okay now here's an example I want to show you that Digital Marketer did and they actually did a case study for retargeting for this experiment what they actually did is they introduced a pop-up ad to returning visitors only okay so these are people had already been on the site which appeared to the visitor after 15 seconds of being on the site. They made sure that this pop-up didn't show up for someone who just came to the page for the first time in which case they were already signed up okay so what they did is they put this pop-up in here they noticed the people who had already been to the page that they retargeted this did a whole lot better than just having a pop-up on the page. Now you can see they also put meaningful content there get the ultimate digital marketing toolbox yes I want all the free tools know my business is already perfect okay so nobody could really answer know my business is perfect. Number three create a timed pop-up survey start to survey your customers people love surveys they love taking them and the thing is they feel like they're really included when you put a survey on there pop-up surveys do great University of Alberta put this particular survey on here it says you seem interested in you Alberta news would you like to sign up for a daily news email this one here did amazing okay and this would pop up after about 10 seconds that they were on the actual site. Number four use humor or sarcasm in your CTA. Now I like this one here it was really pretty cool it says uh I always pause and laugh when I see a CTA with a small no thanks I don't want to lose weight button underneath the prominent yes sign me up link uh it reminds me that there's a person behind that button and while it's meant to be a joke okay it also incentivizes me to you know not hesitate before clicking no thanks it's easy to say no when you know the CTA sign-up says for no more emails okay that's pretty easy to do but it's harder to say no to losing weight or getting rich I like this one right here it says get our on-site retargeting guide yes send me the guide no my business isn't important okay so you know it's kind of funny but it actually works a whole lot better if you interject a little bit of that humor a little bit of that sarcasm. Number five describe value in your CTA okay if you make it something really important if you say it's exclusive or it's a one-time only something along those lines you're much more likely to get opt-ins as opposed to saying sign up or subscribe you want to change it up you want to change it to things like I don't download featured uh exclusive access stuff like that that's going to make them feel like it really is important so you could say something like download our exclusive limited time book now okay that means so much more than get the book or sign up or something along those lines this here will have a lot more impact now next thing is use social media pitch your email newsletter in social media let people know you have something like that a lot of times people don't do that they want to get them over to the website to sign up for something what if you had a sign up on social media all they had to do is click and they could actually sign up right there now even if you don't have a huge following any following could get some sign ups and what we're talking about is incremental increases in those subscribers which ultimately is going to help you build your list number seven yeah this is pretty obvious but a lot of people don't do it create more landing pages okay if you got more landing pages if you got more places for people to go to if you have more opt-ins if you have more PDFs okay lead magnets you're obviously going to get more people on your list i see too many sites that will have one or two opt-ins or one or two downloads you can get and that's it you know what if you had 20 downloads and they hit a whole bunch of different areas and all these different areas could draw in new people for your list number eight encourage everyone to sign up immediately okay you could be a it could be a limited time offer i'm only doing this for a week i'm doing this for the next 72 hours you know sign up now download now make it urgent okay to where you know a lot of people will just put stuff off they'll go yeah maybe i'll sign up for that later but if you put in there that it's going away that it's a limited time offer you're going to get a whole lot more sign-ups number nine you want to include a cta or call to action on your about us page now a lot of people don't do much when they're about us page you know you click on it and there's a paragraph or two about the company or about the founder or something like that and that's all there is there but you know that that page there is so very important because that's where people are going to learn about your company learn about your brand learn about your products and if they go there and then there's a pop-up where they're going to get something free that's where you're building your relationship think about it as the first date right the first date you want to have a good impression so when they go to that about us page make sure you've got some type of pop-up or opt-in in there too too many sites and you can check this yourself you can go around to a lot of business sites almost none of them have a pop-up on that site almost none of them have an opt-in on that page that about us page it's crazy number 10 try interactive boxes now this can be a scroll box this can be a timed box i don't like personally when i go to a web page as soon as i get there a pop-up pops up and it blocks what i was trying to read that's irritating to me it also doesn't allow me to consume some of their information now think about this if they're consuming some of your information then they're getting to know your company they're starting to like your company and they're spending some time on that relationship so you don't want that pop-up to immediately happen okay that's just not a good thing what you want to do is you want to have a timed one so after they've read for 15 seconds or 20 seconds whatever you determine then you can have that pop-up opt-in offering them something exclusive and great or it can also be a scroll pop-up to where as they scroll down the further they get maybe it's 50 percent maybe it's you know 75 percent of your page that's when the pop-up happens now if you don't have the ability to do this i would suggest using something like kartra kartra is amazing it's one of the best marketing softwares i think i've ever seen it's one of the few softwares i even talk about i am an affiliate for kartra but i use kartra matter of fact all my marketing is done through kartra and you will find a link in the description below if you want to watch a video on kartra and all the things it does it does pop-ups it does emails it does funnels does sales pages it does membership does it all in one place for a whole lot cheaper than you could do that by trying to frankenstein together a bunch of different pieces of software so it makes it really easy for you to do these pop-ups and these opt-ins without having to have other software to do it so all in all there's not one particular thing that you could do to improve your your subscriber base but there's many things and that's a good thing because if there was only one thing and you had to be really good at that one thing then you know it would be tough to you know improve what you're doing but i just gave you 10 things you can do 10 things you know if you only did five of these you're going to improve your opt-in ratio but imagine if you did all 10 just put them all in the practice tell yourself you know what i want to build this list i know the list is important i'm going to go ahead and take what jr said and i'm just going to go ahead and do these things now the reason most people don't do all these things is it's overwhelming to them they go wow that's a lot of stuff to do that would take me forever i don't have time to sit down and do all that maybe i'll do that next month maybe i'll do that next week maybe i'll do that next year here's what you do you pick one of the things you list the 10 things i gave you you pick one of the things and you incorporate that onto your website okay and then maybe next week you pick another one of the things and in 10 weeks guess what you've got them all incorporated so don't think of it as all these things you have to do right now think of it is a bunch of different pieces individual pieces and if you think of it that way it makes it less daunting you know less overwhelming for you to do and uh when you take it in small pieces like this you get it done and that's probably true with everything you do okay take everything in small pieces but just make sure you're moving forward if you say it's too much work to do i'll have to put it off i can't do any of it right now that's the wrong attitude never say i can't do any of it you can always do some of something you know whether whether it's you know eating better you know maybe you can't change all your meals maybe you're not going to eat all perfect meals but maybe you could change one meal a week or one meal a day uh maybe you can't exercise an hour a day but maybe you could get up and walk around the block for 15 minutes okay so it's all those small incremental changes that's going to make all the difference in the world now i hope you enjoyed this video i hope you got some good information out of it if so give me a thumbs up and don't
