7  Easy Tips to Create Email Lists
Creating an email  list of contacts for your campaign is one of the most important pieces of the  email marketing puzzle.  
Don't know where to  start? Don't know how convince customers to sign up for your email list?
Don't worry!
Creating an email  list of contacts doesn't have to be a cumbersome and confusing process.
Follow these 7 easy  tips to create email lists:
1. Offer an incentive  to join your email list.
That  could be a product coupon, a free sample, an industry whitepaper or case study,  or an invitation to a special event.
2. Host a contest for  subscribers.
Give  your subscribers the opportunity to be entered into a drawing, sweepstakes or  other fun and exciting contests.
3.  Reward your customers who refer their friends.
You could launch a new email marketing campaign for the "Refer a Friend"  program, or simply highlight the program in your existing messages.
4. Make it easy to  sign up.
Your customers likely lead hectic lives, full of family obligations, work  obligations, and other interests and hobbies. So require them to provide as  little information as possible to make the process quick and efficient.
5. Reassure your  subscribers that their personal information will be kept private and safe.
Respect that promise by not sharing subscribers' information with any other  parties or businesses.
6. Ensure your signup  form is prominent on your website.
If  you are placing a signup form on your site, be sure it's easily accessible on  the home page, as well as on other pages of your site.
7. Make sure your  subscribers can easily share your messages.
Allow your subscribers to forward your emails to others. You can also provide  the ability for your subscribers to share your email content on social networks  such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.
Once you've  built your email list with these easy-to-follow tips, the EasyContact Wizard  makes the rest effortless. Simply enter your list of subscribers one by one, or  import them from your email program. After you've entered or imported your  contacts, you can choose the ones to receive your message.
