Last Saturday, I sent you a weekly report of the best converting sites that grew my list by 82 new subscribers. If you missed it, you can read it by clicking here.

Now I add between 300 and 600 subscribers to my email list every month. They come primarily from safelists, and I send them at least three pieces of content every week. 

I don't brag here. I understand that when you just starting out, even 100 subscribers is a big deal.

However, you shouldn't lose heart because if you are building your list, you are literally sitting on a gold mine. Even if your list grows by a few subscribers every week.

And here's why.

First of all, a total list size doesn't matter. What matters is how responsive it is.

How many opens and clicks do you get on every email you send? How many people follow your advice and join programs that you suggest? How many of them take their credit cards and eagerly buy products that you recommend?

So you need to focus on making your list responsive. The best way to do that is to spend more personal time on every new subscriber. For instance, chatting through email.

You have an advantage compared to those who have list of thousands with dozens of people joining every day. They simple can't conversate with all this flow.

You can!

After a new subscriber joins, send them a personal email from your email address, thanking them for connecting with you and asking them a question, like "What are you promoting online?", etc.

Asking questions is the best way to start a conversation and the best way to keep it going. Each time someone writes you back, always end your reply with a question which prompts them to write you again.

Most people who you write to will not respond, so send a follow up email 24 hours later asking if they received your earlier email.

Don't give up if they keep silent. They just not ready to talk to you yet. As long as they remain your subscriber, they can wake up any moment...

to answer you, join your program or buy something through your link.

Soon you will notice how this approach increases your conversion rates. You will see that first people who respond to your newsletter are those who you had personal conversations with. 

Not only will this increase your conversions, but also it will teach you so much about your audience.

I highly recommend that you start building your list if you haven't already. I also recommend that you use the right platform for your list (no surprise it is AWeber that I use myself), because your list is your gold mine.
