The more targeted opt-in marketing email sent, the more chances there are to generate sales and repeat sales, which is what businesswomen should be striving for. To do this, you must build a list of clients and potential clients who are interested in your niche and want to subscribe to your opt-in marketing list. 

From your list, you will get your targeted customer, this is an ideal list since they already have shown interest in what you have to present and sell. They have willingly signed up for your list. These are the people who have liked what they have seen on your site and have decided they want to see more and maybe even purchase what ever product or service your business has to offer. 

Many people would think that building their lists would take a ton of hard work and a lot of time to build and collect ideal clients' names and addresses. Again, this is not so, it takes a bit of patience and some strategies; list-building will open your site and your business to a whole new world of targeted clients. 

Sometimes business women can get overwhelmed with so much information and content available about list-building; some of which may be confusing because there is so much presented in different ways. Different groups of people have different approaches on building an opt-in list, but no matter how diverse the many methods are, there are always some crucial things to do to build your list.

Here are 4 Email List Building Steps Every Business Woman Should Know :

1) Create an irresistible website or landing page with an opt-in that immediately invites your website visitor to sign up for your newsletter. While some may say this is too soon to ask for someone to subscribe, I say not at all, try to remember that your homepage should provide a clear and quick impression of who you serve. If somehow a website visitor finds something that he or she doesn’t like and turns them off, they may just forget about signing up.

Setting up a good opt-in form is not hard difficult to do. Just write a simple short statement about how they get to see more and receive updates from you. Then there should be an area where they type in their name and e-mail address. This web form will automatically get saved into your email marketing tool and send you a notification that you have a new subscriber. As more people sign in, your list will be growing. 

2) As mentioned in the first tip, make your homepage very, very impressive. You need to have well written articles and descriptions of your site. Depending on what your site is all about, you need to capture your website visitor’s interest, almost immediately. Make your site useful and very easy to use. Do not expect everyone to be tech savvy. Invest in having good list-building tools for your site and include appealing graphics, but don’t over do it.

3) Provide good service and products. A return customer is more likely to bring in more business. A satisfied customer will recommend a business whenever an opportunity arises.  Word of mouth recommendations alone can rake in more business than expensive ads. As your clientele grows, so will your list. With more subscribers on the list, the more people will get to know about what you have new to offer.

4) Keep an updated and private list. Never break the trust your customers have given you. If you sell or share their e-mails with others and they get spammed, many will probably unsubscribe from your list.  Remember, a good reputation will drive in more traffic and subscribers, as well as strengthen the loyalty of your customers.
