For that reason, it is very important to grow your list as large as possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In fact, it should be an ongoing and never-ending project for your business, since you will doubtless encounter attrition as you lose subscribers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>There are many ways to build your list. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Article marketing, blogging, and pay-per-click advertising are all examples of effective list-building methods. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Those methods are beyond the scope of this article, however. Instead, this article is about using eBay as a resource to tap into to grow your list, naturally and inexpensively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With about 8 million visitors per day and over 200 million registered users, <strong>eBay is a great potential source for traffic that can help you grow your list.<\/strong><br \/><br \/><strong>There are two methods eBay can be used to grow your list<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The first is to <strong>create and sell small reports or ebooks<\/strong> using the buy-it-now auction format. The minimum price you can set and still sell multiple items is .99, so you are practically giving away these reports or ebooks that contain useful information.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In these ebooks or reports, you can place your links to a squeeze page for your list. The information in these reports should be informative, but should also entice the reader into wanting more and sign up for your list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can specify that the purchaser can give away the report or ebook, but they can not alter the content.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This may result in getting more sign-ups in the long term. The point of selling your report is not to make money, but to grow your list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Since the insertion and selling fees on eBay are relatively low, this can be a very cost-effective way to get sign-ups to your list and if you sell enough reports or ebooks, you may turn a small profit while simultaneously growing your list.<br \/><br \/><strong>The second way eBay can help grow your list is through the use of classified ad format<\/strong>. This ad format is often overlooked by many on eBay, but it is a simple and very cost-effective method you can use to grow your list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The classified ad is set up similarly to a standard auction. The major difference is the ad will run for 30 days instead of the 3, 7, and 10 days that standard auctions run.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The title is subject to the eBay search engine just like auctions, so it&#8217;s very important to optimize your ad title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Since HTML can be used here, you can paste a squeeze page that contains an opt-in form in your ad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The insertion fee for a classified ad is 9.95 for 30 days. If you purchase a Pro Pack for your classified ad, it will cost more, but it works out to a little over a dollar a day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By comparison, buying a Pro Pack for a 7-day auction would be about 4 dollars a day. Using the classified ad format can be a very cost-effective method to grow your list.<br \/><br \/>There are doubtless other ways to use eBay as a list-building tool, but these two methods are effective and far less expensive than using pay-per-click advertising or purchasing leads and may result in a small profit or enough income to cover your eBay fees.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is an adage in Internet Marketing: The money is on the list.
