You have heard many people say (including me) that newsletters are important.
But having a newsletter is only half the battle. You have to have readers to go along with it!
Need some ideas on how to promote your newsletter and get more sign-ups? Read on for some inspiration:
- Put a sign-up form in the sidebar of your website (preferably the upper right hand side). Have some sort of headline above the newsletter box to draw attention.
- Link to it via the status updates from your Facebook page. (do this on the page you have set up for your business, not your personal page)
- Use Pinterest. Post good, quality pictures that catch attention. Pinterest is very visual, and if your pictures don’t look good, no one will want to share them.
- Write guest posts for other people’s blogs. Give a short blurb for your website or newsletter at the bottom of the guest post.
- Participate in giveaways. You can offer giveaways on your own blog of course, but you can also ask your biz friends to host giveaways on their blogs. This will help you introduce your business to new people!
