How Many Lists Should I Build?

If you want to quickly build your list, you need to have more than one squeeze page and more than one list. 3 or 4 splash pages for one list is good. But, if you really want to build your list in a big way, you need to have at least a few lists set up.

Say you have a great ebook on using traffic exchanges. Then, you build 3 squeeze pages to promote that one ebook. You may get one person signing up on each squeeze page each day. So you get 3 subscribers per day.

But, what if you have two other ebooks, or newsletters to promote? Such as how to use Adwords effectively and how to increase your Twitter followers. Now, you build 3 squeeze pages for each of those ebooks. You get one for each squeeze page for each list.

  • Traffic exchange X 3 pages = 3 subscribers
  • Adwords X 3 pages = 3 subscribers
  • Twitter X 3 pages = 3 subscribers
  • Total = 9 subscribers

You now get 9 subscribers each day!

It may seem difficult to build 9 squeeze pages. But, you can use the same three templates for each list that you have set up. Just change the ad copy and the AWeber code (or other autoresponder) in each one.

Remember to put your picture, or video, in the squeeze pages. Branding is key.

Good Luck.

There are three main pages being shown in traffic exchanges, going from best to worst:

  1. Personal squeeze or lead capture pages
  2. Affiliate splash pages
  3. Affiliate links

I would never put up affiliate links in rotation. They are very ineffective. There is just too much information.

The best is to display personal squeeze, or lead capture, pages. You will then be able to promote your programs to your subscribers. This is the  best option, especially when you build a large list of subscribers.

Affiliate splash pages, the splash pages that your affiliate programs provide, can be effective if used properly. In traffic exchanges, you only have a brief moment to capture your visitor’s attention. You need to have a way for your ad to stand out. This is where personal branding comes in.

I do like to promote my programs in traffic exchanges to supplement my email campaigns. In that case, I like to use personal branding. The best site that I have found that does that for you is Vital Viral Pro. You can enter each of your sites and place your picture and a short testimonial on every affiliate splash page that you promoting. Now, when visitors start recognizing your face, they will be more inclined to click on your ad.

You can also set up rotators to group like campaigns to maximize your available sites in your traffic exchanges.

Inside the member area, you will be able to find how many views you have had, how many clicks, and at which exchanges. It is all summarized in a cool graphical dashboard that gives you a good idea how well your campaigns are doing.

Another great thing, and a powerful tool in Vital Viral Pro is that you can have a banner and text links in the “viral bar.” This gives more exposure to your other programs. Not only that, when someone joins under you in Vital Viral Pro, they will be able to join you in your other programs that you have listed in the members area.

If you want another way to brand yourself in the traffic exchanges, stop on by and grab your free membership by visiting the clicking the banner below. Or, you can also download the ebook to learn more about it from the owner by clicking here.
