You’ve probably heard the saying, “The money is in the list.” To make money online, you need to have a list of people who are interested in your virtual assistant business and who want you to keep in regular contact with them.
That makes sense, but when you're a new virtual assistant, how can you build a mailing list quickly and easily?
One of the best ways to build your list is by writing and submitting articles online.
To use this technique, simply write and submit articles on your topic of expertise to popular article directories where ezine publishers and readers are looking for the information you provide.
This is called article marketing, and it’s a very valuable tool; you are actually proving your worth and demonstrating your expertise through the articles you write.
Article marketing can help build your mailing list too.
In your resource box (also called the author’s bio) which you submit with each article, include a brief detail about yourself and your business, along with an active link to your website.
If you want to focus on building your list with your articles, the link in your resource box should be to your mailing list’s landing page. Then you can capture your visitor’s name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.
If your articles are well-written and worth sharing, ezine publishers and bloggers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers, so even more potential subscribers will be exposed to your article.
WAHM Articles’ author Terri Seymour uses this technique very effectively. Here is the resource box she includes with each of her articles:
