Lead capture page or squeeze page:
The important step that you need to do is build a lead capture page or squeeze page. This is just a simple page where you can offer the freebies, provide the good reasons it is a good idea for them to sign up for your newsletter and then put a capture form from any auto-responder on the site.
Offer Freebies to them:
Let say if you are going to capture the email address and name of a person you should give them something that is useful and free. The first step is to find free items that you will be giving away to them and ensure that it is something people will really want. You can offer a free business tools, software, reports, or anything else that cab entice them to give you their information.
Offer good Newsletters:
You should also sign up for an auto responder for free and start setting up a newsletter or e-zine. It doesn't have to be very difficult, but again you should provide free resources, videos, articles, and other things a person would want. This will definitely encourage them to stay on your email list after they have received the freebie offered to get them there. You also need to send out a newsletter once a week, every two weeks or even on monthly basis to keep in contact with the people on your list.
Marketing:
This is an essential step to take once you have done the other steps. If people don't know about your squeeze page, certainly they will never sign up. Remember that you have to market your page, just like you do it for your online business. This is the only way to get people to sign up and there are more ways you can use for marketing purpose, the faster you build your list.
These are the most important steps that you should take for building your mailing list. So by the time you know how to build a mailing list; all that is left is for you to get started smoothly. Remember that the faster you get started the faster you can build your list and use it as a powerful marketing tool.
