Articles are great for list retention. How do articles help build your newsletter list? When you use good informative articles, preferably written by or for you, in your newsletter, you will keep subscribers happy and interested enough so that they will want to stay on your list. This helps to build good relations with subscribers. Also, building a feature in the newsletter to allow it to be forwarded or emailed to their friend will help you to gain a greater more
targeted list.

Articles are great tools for website content. Informative articles on your website will help to draw visitors into your site and encourage sign ups to your lists. You can allow reprint rights for these articles. This will encourage back links, by visitors using the articles on their websites and newsletters. It will also attract more visitors to your site.

If you focus on article distribution, as a powerful promotional tool for your website, over time you will develop a ’stamp’ online and a reputation as an authority in your choosen field.

Consider this, if you write one article a week with the sole aim of list buiding….and continue this for 6 months….at the end of that time, you will have 26 articles published online pointing back to your list subscription page - and that assuming no other website or ezine has picked up your article and published it.

While it takes time to build a responsive list of subscribers. list building should always factor into your home business plan.
