Better List Building With Ad-Swaps
List building can be a challenging process, after all, you wouldn’t be here reading this if it wasn’t. Everyone’s always looking for new ways to reach out to their audience, and using ad-swaps can help.
Just what is an ad-swap? Basically the idea is to pair up with someone who already has a list in your niche, and help each other out. They mail for you, and you mail for them. Each of you is now reaching a broader audience than you were before, so everyone wins.
There are a few hurdles to leap over when dealing with an ad-swap. First of all, it can be difficult to find a like-minded partner with a list that’s similar in size to yours, and who operates in your niche. There are a few websites springing up to connect people with others in their niche looking to do an ad-swap. These sites usually provide a feedback system, as well as user profiles so you know exactly what kind of person you’re dealing with. These sites also typically require a fee of some sort to join, but the actual ad-swap happens without any money changing hands.
If you’re having trouble finding someone with a list the same size as yours, don’t give up hope. Sometimes people with larger lists will be willing to work with you. If you have a list half the size of theirs, offer two mails for every one they give you. You get the benefit of having your mail go out to a larger audience, and they get a double dose of exposure to your list.
It’s also important to remain patient. The benefits of an ad-swap aren’t always immediately noticeable. If you’re setting up an ad-swap partnership with someone, expect to deal with them for the long haul, as this particular method of list building takes time to really bear fruit. The important thing to remember here is that you’re reaching out to your niche. It may take time to build up your list, but if you’re reaching your niche, you’re building your list up in the right way.
If you take the time to find the right people to ad-swap with, and you give the swap time to prove itself, the potential for long term list growth for both parties is great. Stick with it, and you’ll see the results you’re looking for.
