How would you like to get more of your perfect clients to join your list? The great news is, social media marketing, such as using Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to share information about your business will help you build your list!

Are you using Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to invite people to join your list? If you are using those social media web sites, but are not inviting people you meet there to join your list, you are missing on a huge source of prospects and clients.

Here are three things that you must do on social media web sites to invite more people on social media web sites to join your list:

Create Effective Social Media Profiles

Effective social media profiles are extremely important for getting results with social media. When you use your social networking profile to connect with your potential clients, you will get better results.

And don’t forget to include a link to your newsletter in your social media profile. If you do not have a link for people to click on in your profile, so that they can subscribe to your newsletter, how are they going to even know that you have a newsletter?

Remember, the best way to ensure that that NO ONE will subscribe to your newsletter is by not sharing a link to it. Make sure that your profile shares a link to your newsletter!

Become More Visible

When you are visible, more people will know about you and will be able to subscribe to your newsletter! Become visible by getting involved. Share information, share tips, connect and start building relationships with people you meet on those social networking web sites.

When you share tips, articles and ideas, people see them. And as they connect with you and learn from you, their natural next step is to learn a bit more about you through your profile. They will go to your profile, see information about your newsletter, and will click on the link to subscribe!

Share About Your Free Gift

Your profile is not the only place to let people know about your newsletter and the free gift that you are giving away to people who subscribe to your newsletter. People should also hear about your free gift from your status updates on Facebook and your tweets on Twitter.

Don’t just share about your free gift – you should also share tips, information and build relationships. When you balance status updates about your free gift with tips and information or interest to your target market, many more people will click on your links and subscribe to your newsletter.

Do you have a plan for building your list? If you do not have a plan, and you are just “winging” it, you are doing a huge disservice to yourself and to people in your target market.

When you do not have a plan for building your list, you are not taking the time every day for list building activities. As a result, you are not attracting enough of your perfect clients to your business, and your business suffers.

When you do not have a plan for building your list, you are doing a disservice to your potential clients as well. Because you are not participating in your list building activities on a regular basis, you are not letting your potential clients know about your business. If they don’t know about your business, they can’t use your services to help them improve their lives.

If you want to attract your perfect clients to your list, then you must create an effective giveaway, or a free gift.

What exactly is a free gift? A free gift is a high-value gift (a special report, an audio recording, an ecourse, etc), that you are giving away to your new newsletter subscribers in exchange for their subscribing to your newsletter.

Here is something to keep in mind: if the topic of your free gift is of REAL interest to the people you want to attract to your list, more people will join your list. If not, then many fewer will join.

I have seen so many service professionals failing at creating an effective free gift, because the topic they chose was not an effective topic. A lot of time service professionals create free gifts on the topics they are interested in, when what they should do is create free gifts on topics that their potential clients are interested in.

What is an effective topic for your free gift? An effective topic for your free gift is the topic that your target market really wants to know about. It is a question that your target market really wants answered, or it is a solution to an issue that your target market is experiencing. Your free gift HAS to be something that your target market really wants.

As soon as your target market learns about your free gift, you want them to say: “I REALLY Want This Gift!” and immediately sign up to get the free gift and get on your list.

And I have seen this happen many times. A service professional creates a free gift on a topic that she THINKS is a good topic, and starts promoting it. She spends hundreds of hours promoting this free gift, but since the topic is not of interest to the people she is inviting to get the gift, very few people request it and very few people get on her list.

If this is happening to you, if very few people are ever requesting your free gift, chances are they don’t really want it, which means you haven’t found a good topic for your free gift yet.

The good news is finding an effective topic for your free gift is not hard. What you are looking for is a topic that your target market is interested in, so how do you find it? Here are three different ways of doing just:

– You work with people who are in your target market. So what questions do they ask you? What do they want to know?

– Social Networking Web Sites, Facebook, Twitter – what do people in your target market talk about on those social networking web sites?

– Survey people who already are on your list to see what kind of topics they are interested in.

Once you find a topic that your people are really interested in, you will be able to create a product on that topic – a report, an ebook, an audio recording, and ecourse. And then, you will need to create a special page, called squeeze page, to outline the benefits of the free gift, give it away and have people sign up for it and get on your list.

Are you using social media marketing without seeing results? Many coaches and other service professionals have been telling me that they have been using social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, but they are not seeing results. Building your list on social networking web sites is extremely important for you, a service professional. It is easier to first convert a person in your target market into a newsletter subscriber, and then into client, than to immediately convert someone into a client.

Another reason you want to use social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, is because you want to keep in touch with your social networking connections even if you or they leave social networking web sites. The only way to keep in touch with them in that case is if they are subscribers to your list.

Social networking web sites fare great for inviting people to join your list. Here is how to get started:

– Offer a no charge report, ecourse or teleseminar.

– Create an effective squeeze page for it

– Promote the free offer on social networking web sites. You can do that by sharing information yourself, sharing your blog posts, having your affiliates share about it, etc.

– Create a plan and keep marketing. In order to get continuous results you must share information about your free offer continuously.

Are you a service professional who wants to add more people to your list? I have been hearing from a lot of service professionals lately who would love to add more people to their lists, but they are not sure how to invite people to their lists and how often to do that. In this article you will learn my top three tips for building your list authentically and effectively.

But first, why should you build your list? Your list has people who know, like and trust you. When you publish your newsletter and share tips with people on your list, you are building relationships with them. And as they get to know you more, they will be much more likely to purchase your products and services.

How often should you build your list? You should build your list every day. This way you will be getting more prospects every single day, you will be able to start building relationships with them and let them know about your products and services. The more people you have on your list, the more successful your business will be. It is that simple. Here are my three tips to help you build your list every day:

1. Commit To Taking Action Every Single Day

Nothing happens until you make a commitment to make it happen. Add list building to your schedule. Building your list every day is the single most important action you will take for growing your business!

2. Automate As Much About Your List Building As You Can

List building becomes much more fun and much easier when you automate as many activities as you can. This way some of your list building will be automatic, freeing you up for other marketing activities. Here are examples of three building list actions that you can automate:

– When you submit your articles to EzineArticles, have your articles posted automatically to Twitter.

– Create an account so that you can pre-schedule your social networking posts on Twitter and Facebook

– Automate posting of your blog posts to LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

3. Decide On Actions You Will Take To Build Your List

When people say “list building”, what they mean is taking a specific action to invite people to start receiving your newsletter. There are many different list building activities, such as blogging, social networking, article marketing, search engine optimization and more.

Before you can start building your list, you need to decide which marketing activities you will use to build your list.

Many coaches and other heart-based professionals have been telling me that they are very interested in building a list of people who know, like and trust them, so that they can get more clients.

However, they have many other business activities that they need to attend to, so they cannot spend too much time on building their lists. Sounds just like you?

Well, I have great news for you! Even if you only have a bit of time each day to dedicate to building your list, you can still build your list and use it to get clients!

List building is very important for your heart-based service business. When you have a list of people who know, like you and trust you, you can get service clients and you can sell more of your products by just e-mailing your list.

But what if you cannot dedicate a lot of time to list building? But what if you only have a bit of time to build your list? Can you still get good results and build a list for your business? The answer is yes! Here is how you can do that:

Make A Commitment To Building Your List.

Building your list is all about taking continuous action. When you continuously attract people to your list, you will get great results.

When you do something to build your list every single day, you will get great results.

Automate Your List Building Activities Wherever You Can.

If you only have 45 minutes a day for building your list, you must automate everything you can. The more you automate, the more you will be able to get done. Here are examples of some list building actions that you can automate:

– Post your blog posts automatically to your social networking profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter

– Have your articles from EzineArticles posted automatically to Twitter

– Create an account so that you can pre-schedule your social networking posts

As you can see, there are different actions that you can automate, and doing that will help you build your list even if you don’t have a lot of time to do that.

Create List Building Theme Days

You only have 45 minutes every day of the week. Create a different list building theme for each day, such as blogging, article marketing, social networking, etc.

That way, on each day you know what action you need to take, so that you can make the most of your 45 minutes.

For example:

Monday – blogging day. Write and post your blog post.

Tuesday, social networking day. Schedule your tweets, status updates, etc, for the rest of the week. That way, every day, for the rest of the week, you will be sharing tips and ideas and will be inviting people to your list.

Wednesday – article marketing day. Write and submit an article.

And so on, for the rest of the week.

Stick To Your List Building Plan

List building is all about taking consistent action every single day. Stick to the plan and take one list building action every day, and you will be growing your list every day as well.

Summer is also a great time for marketing. Don’t stop marketing just because it is the summer. Your potential clients are still here – they are using social networking web sites, reading blogs and reading articles.

This means that in order to connect with your perfect clients, you need to connect with them where they are. Here are a few of my latest articles to help you do that:

A lot of people have been asking me how they can start growing their lists TODAY – what are the actions that they can take today to start growing their lists immediately.

Here are my top three strategies to help you invite more people to your list. Start using them today and you will see more people joining your list:

Strategy #1: Article Marketing

I love using article marketing for list building. It is effective, it works great and you can use it to invite exactly people you want to invite to your list! How do you do that? By writing articles on topics that are of interest to people that you want to invite to your list.

What is article marketing? Article marketing is the process of writing articles that people in your target market are interested in reading and then submitting them to article directories to be published. It is extremely important to write articles that are of interest to your target market, because that is another way to qualify your subscribers. When the topic of your article is of interest to people in your target market, people in your target market will read your articles and find out more about your newsletter.

When you submit your article to directories, your article will also include a Resource Box. Your Resource Box is a one-paragraph description of you and your business and a link back to your web site. Use the Resource Box to invite your article readers to get your free gift and join your list!

Strategy #2: Social Networking

Social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter are great for inviting people in your target market to join your list.

In order to invite more people from social networking web sites to join your list, first you need to have an effective profile page. If you do not have any information about your newsletter in your profile, how are people going to even know that you have a newsletter?

Next, you need to get involved, become visible and start building relationships with people you meet on those social networking web sites. If you are invisible on social networking web sites, people will not be able to sign up for your newsletter. When you are visible, you will get many more subscribers.

And then, make sure to share about your free gift using your social networking updates. Your profile is not the only place to let people know about your free gift. People should also hear about your free gift from your status updates on Facebook and your tweets on Twitter.

Strategy #3: Blogging

Blogging is another great technique to use to invite more people to your list. There are a ton of things you can do with your blog to bring more subscribers to your list.

First, your blog itself should contain information about your newsletter and your free gift. If you don’t tell your blog readers about your newsletter, how do you expect them to ever subscribe? Make sure that your blog has at least some information about your newsletter.

Your blog posts themselves are also very important for inviting people to your list. Remember – you will write your blog post once and it will be seen by people and search engines for a very long time. This means that if you write an interesting blog post and it gets indexed by search engines, you will be able to gain blog visitors and newsletter subscribers from the same blog post for a long period of time.

Use search engine optimization each time you write a blog post. Research keywords and find effective ones to use in your post. Then use the keywords in your blog posts, so that your blog posts can be indexed in search engines for the relevant topics and you can get traffic. Each time someone finds your blog post in search engines, they will be able to read your post and find out about your free gift and your newsletter!

This is just one blog post. Optimize each blog post that you write and you will start getting more traffic from search engines to your blog.

Lots of people are joining Facebook and Twitter (and some of them are probably in your target!). And since people in your target market are using Facebook and Twitter, you should be using these social networking web sites too. Participating in these web sites is great for inviting people in your target market to join your email list.

If you are a heart-based service professional, and you are looking for the best ways to find more clients, then you must get started in growing your list. And social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are some of the best places to invite people in your target market to join your list.

If you are using social networking web site, such as Facebook and Twitter, but are not able to use them to grow your list, chances are you making some of these mistakes. Here are three list building mistakes you are making on social networking web sites and how to fix them:

Mistake #1: Having An Ineffective Social Networking Profile

When you are networking with people on social networking web sites, and they want to learn more about you, where do they go? They go to your social networking profile, of course! But, if your social networking profile is not effective and doesn’t let them know more about what you do, they will move on to the next one.

How to fix this: Make sure that your social networking profiles on web sites such as Twitter and Facebook have information about what you do and links to subscribe to your newsletter. If you do not have any information in your profile, how are people visiting your profile going to even know that you have a newsletter?

Mistake #2: Being Completely Invisible On Social Networking Web Sites

Sometimes service professionals create accounts on social networking web sites and stop right there. To get results from social networking, you must take the next step and start participating and becoming visible. If you are not involved and visible on social networking web sites, people will not be able to connect with you. And if they cannot connect with you, they won’t join your list.

How to fix this: Get involved, become visible and start building relationships with people who you meet on those social networking web sites. When people who you are connected with on social networking web sites talk to you, learn from you and see that you are an expert at what you do, their natural next step is to learn a bit more about you through your profile. They will go to your profile and if they see information about your newsletter, they will at least check it out.

Mistake #3: Not Sharing About Your Free Gift And Newsletter

If your profile is the only place where people can learn about your newsletter, then you are losing subscribers every day. In order to get more subscribers, you must share information about your newsletter using your status update, as well as your profile.

How to fix this: Use your profile updates from time to time to let your social networking connections know about your list and your free gift.

You know, sometimes when something isn’t working, you need to change course. I have always been an accomplished cook, but I had never baked. I didn’t really try, but I have always been convinced that I couldn’t bake.

Pear and Apple Crumble

Well, once I changed course and actually started baking, it all worked out. A few days ago I made pear and apple crumble. It was very tasty. And to think, if I were still thinking that I couldn’t bake, I would not have been able to make that great tasting crumble! This post is about doing the same thing in your business. If selling your services isn’t working for you, here is what you can do instead.

Many heart-based service professionals concentrate on selling their services. I see this every day. When I read someone’s bio on Twitter or Facebook, they tell me right off the bat that they provide services and give me a link to check them out and contact them about their services.

When I read heart-based service professionals’ bios that they attach to their articles, the same thing happens. They tell the article readers about their services and invite them to learn more about their services.

When I visit heart-based service professionals’ blogs, again, I get information about the services that they offer.

Unfortunately, many heart-based service professionals don’t get people to take them up on their offer to become a client, and that is no surprise. When you start promoting your services to people who had just met you on a social networking web site or had just read your article, you are skipping an extremely important step. Before you offer your services, you need to build trust between you and your prospects.

When you offer your services to those who already know, like and trust you, great things happen. People who already know you are much more likely to check out your services and become clients.

What should you do instead of offering your services to people on social networking web sites and people reading your articles and your blog? Instead of offering them your services, create an authentic process to invite them to your list instead. This process has no pressure and offers a ton of benefits to your potential clients. It will come as no surprise to you that many more people will take you up on this offer.

Once they are on your list, you will have many opportunities to tell them about your products and services. However, right now, when they are meeting you on social networking web sites, reading your blog and reading your articles, start by using your authentic invitation process to invite them to your list.

Here an example of how to apply this to your business:

Instead of saying: “I am a parenting coach”, say: “I help parents of teenagers communicate better with their teenagers. Get my no charge gift to learn how. [Add a link to where they can get the gift.]”

Do you see how your authentic invitation process is much more effective? Instead of telling your potential clients about your services, you are inviting them to get something that is of great benefit to them. This will they will take you up on your offer, and join your list.

Learn exactly how to create an extremely effective no charge gift and use it to invite people to your list in the Grow Your List Quick Start Guide. The Guide shows you an effective process to grow your list, which is as simple as 1-2-3.
