Different groups  of people would have different approaches in building  an opt-in list, but no matter how diverse many methods  are, there are always some crucial things to do to build  your list. Here are four of them.

1) Put up a good web form in your site that immediately  follows the end of your content. While some may say this  is too soon to subscribe for a website visitors application,  try to remember that your homepage should provide a quick  good impression. 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.

Depending on what your site is all  about, you need to capture your website visitor's fancy.  Make your site useful and very easy to use. Do not expect  everyone to be tech savvy. Invest in having good programming  in your site, make your graphics beautiful but don't over do it.

Don't waste your time making the homepage too overly large  megabyte wise. Not all people have dedicated T1 connections,  the faster your site gets loaded, the better. Go for a look  that borders between simplicity and sophisticated knowledge.

3) Provide good service and products. A return customer is  more likely to bring in more business. Even then and now, a  satisfied customer will recommend a business always. Word of  mouth and recommendations alone can rake in more business  than an expensive ad. As your clientele roster grows so  shall your list. With more members on the list, the more  people will get to know about what you have new to offer.

4) Keep a clean and private list. Never lose the trust your  customers have entrusted you. If you provide e-mails to others  and they get spammed, many will probably unsubscribe to you.  Remember, a good reputation will drive in more traffic and  subscribers as well as strengthen the loyalty of your customers.
