I was looking through some of my Facebook messages today…
From people who’ve sent me a friend request.
I accepted this particular person’s friend request and checked out their profile.
On their profile, they linked to an opt-in page.
This person built a simple opt-in page (below) using Systeme.io.
Curious, I opted in to see how this person was building their list.
And once I opted in, I was then taken straight to a free front-end offer of an affiliate offer.
A free video training that you had to sign up for to access.
From what I can tell, he’s making simple posts daily on Facebook. Although he did make a post on how much traffic he got from YouTube.
So you see, it’s extremely easy to start building an email list.
Find a suitable affiliate offer from, say, ClickBank that offers a free front-end lead magnet of some sort.
(Check the affiliate section for these, I’ve found a few in the past.)
Create an opt-in page using something like the free version of Systeme.io that you can also use for sending emails and more.
As you can see by the example above it doesn’t have to be anything great. Simple is often better.
Create a 3–5-day follow-up email sequence for when anyone subscribes.
Write a daily email and post it on Facebook…
(While also building up your friends list.)
What’s that, you haven’t got an email list?
No problemo…
Open a Google Doc and write out an email as though you have an email to send it to.
Then copy and paste it to Facebook, make sure to have a link in your profile to your opt-in page.
This will do two things.
1. Improve your email copy
2. Get your first couple of subscribers
Will this work? Sure.
But DON’T expect a flood of traffic, but rather a trickle.
And for the past two months or so, I’ve been doing just that…
You could, of course, turn that email into a video and post it on YouTube and a couple of other social media channels.
To help speed this up a bit.
Not that I’ve turned any of my emails into videos.
Or even do a run of solo or Facebook ads to speed up the process of getting subscribers.
If you’re going to this totally organic, then you’re going to need a lot of patience… NOT something I’ve got, lol.
Anyway…
