When people start a business and need to grow their own mailing list, they ask whether they should buy a list or grow their own. I always recommend building your own mailing list instead of buying.

Building a list will take longer, but the people who subscribe to your list will be much more responsive and are more likely to become your customers down the road, which is what you want. Here are some tips to help you grow your list:

– Offer something valuable to your new subscribers as a gift to get more subscriptions. This can be a report or an e-book that you wrote.

– Feature newsletter subscription box prominently on your web site – use it on all pages of your web site.

– Write articles, use search engine optimization and start a blog to drive more people to your web site and subscribe to your newsletter.
