When it comes to list size, while numbers are definitely a huge plus, you can produce results even when your e-mail list is not large. Creativity is the catalyst that turns the situation around. Attitude is the mortar that will keep the bricks together. Arm yourself. Ready?
Go down the “Wrong Way” on the highway of relationships!
Internet Radio Show? Podcasting? Why not interview the experts on your list; it will be a feather on your cap! And go the other way too – ask the people on your list if they would have an interest interview you! Asking if their audience would have an interest in hearing about your expertise will probably fall on eager-to-listen ears, especially if you can present the benefits their audience will receive, as well as the credits to anyone interviewing you (Healthy Attitude). Post the interview on your internet radio channel. Use it as a podcast on your website. Priceless; you are building rapport with the host’s list, and subtly promoting yourself for the length of the interview! Remember, be memorable, be there in service to all concerned.

OK. You are not alone. There are millions of people out there who have the same issues as you; their e-mail list is in need of being improved … yesterday. Be the leader, the beacon of light. Invite the people on your list with similar interests to create content for your site. They will. People love to talk about themselves and their expertise, even more when they can present themselves as authorities on the topic at hand. Guest Blogging opens the door to the possibilities of great content for your audience – and hopefully, you can do the same for their site.
Use Social Media to promote these events
Blast all your events –interviews, podcasts or guest blogs – out to your Social Media communities, and ask the guest to do the same. Social Media promotion is for their list’s benefit. Show your excitement and appreciation! Outside the box thinking: Would the host or guest blogger be a good fit for a future affiliate?
These tips are not to derail you from your focus to grow your list the traditional routes. They will help to keep growing while building the all-important rapport with your core supporters on your existing list.
