6 Advanced List Building Strategies For Bloggers & Solopreneurs
1. Advanced List Building Strategy – Reward People For Sharing
Look for more free word of mouth marketing & social proof? (Who isn’t?). But just asking subscribers to tag a friend or share your freebie on Facebook isn’t going to cut it anymore.
Nope. If you want the share, you’re going to need to make it worth their wild by offering them an exclusive free gift for telling their friends about you.
Services like GoViral (free) and Upviral (paid) make it super nice easy for you to shower new (and current) subscribers with extra goodies for sharing out about your stuff.
Upviral will only release prizes if subscribers get other people to sign up for your freebie (hint the extra cost.) While GoViral will release your extra free gift after someone shares your landing page on social regardless if you get a new sign-up.
Instead offer subscribers a free bonus of content they can only get if they share out about your freebie. You can use a free service like Goviral which rewards people merely for sharing, or a paid service like Upviral who will only release your bonuses after a certain number of people sign up for your freebie under subscribers’ personalized links.
