An effective way to build your email list is through article writing, even if you’ve not considered that possibility before.

In a nutshell, you write articles based on your topic of expertise or business experience or any other topic that interests you and submit those articles to article directories where newsletter publishers and readers alike go to look for content.

Maximizing your viral marketing efforts through article writing can be very effective, if done correctly. You are actually proving your expertise and demonstrating your knowledge about your business by the articles you write.

So, how can this method in effect build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL.

It is suggested that you directly your link in your resource box to a landing page for your mailing list’s sign up page so you can get your visitor’s name and email address, which will be your mailing list.

If your articles are worth publishing, newsletter and webmasters will republish your articles on their sites and newsletters with your resource box to be seen by their readers and subscribers. Viral marketing for you!

To start with, submit your articles to article directories and submitter sites that have been around and are established. Do a simple online search for these as there are many great ones out there to choose from.
