1. 8 DIY Tools to Grow Your Email List Fast
It`s time to kick your email list into high gear. We`re talking warp speed here. Since a healthy email
list is one that keeps growing, we`ve put together a list of eight do-it-yourself tools to help you
collect emails at full throttle.
Let`s not idle any longer. Here are eight tools you should try to boost your email list:
1. Create a sign up form
Tool to use: VerticalResponse sign up form
One of the best tools to collect email addresses is a sign up form. Encourage visitors to provide their
email address when they stop by your website. How, you ask? We've made it simple for you.
VerticalResponse offers free sign up forms. Just log into your account, create the form and we`ll host
it on a landing page for you, plus you can place it on your website and on your social networks.
When a new contact joins the list, we`ll add it to your email list.

Know About Sign Up Forms.
2. Add a pop up form to your site
Tool to use: PopUp Domination
Grow your list by enabling visitors to enter their email address in a pop up message on your site.
With PopUp Domination you can create a tasteful message that appears on your website and asks
users to sign up for your newsletter or claim a special offer in exchange for their email address. You
can pick from ready-made templates, customize the message, add your own images, create your own
call to action button and get access to analytics.
3. Offer an on site incentive
Tool to use: Justuno
Give website visitors an incentive to sign up for your email list with Justuno. This tool collects emails
by offering visitors an on site incentive, like a downloadable coupon in exchange for an email
address. Pretty cool, huh? That`s not the best part. VerticalResponse has an integration with
Justuno, so when a new contact signs up, it goes directly to your email list. Instant growth!
2. 4. Add a Facebook tab to collects emails
Tool to use: Pagemodo
With Pagemodo you can add a tab to your Facebook page so visitors can get in touch with you. You
can set it up to look like a contact form. Visitors just fill in a few fields, including their email address,
and submit it to you. You`ll get an email with the new contact information and the message.
Pagemodo has additional features too. You can run social media contests and customize your
Facebook page with this tool as well.
5. Collect emails via text message
Tool to use: Tatango
Your subscribers can text their email address to you with Tatango. The subscriber texts a keyword,
which triggers an automatic request for their email address. You can create a customized response
when a new email address comes in. That new contact is added right to your email list within
VerticalResponse.
6. Gather emails while selling products
Tool to use: Shopify integration tool
Does your small business sell products through Shopify? If so, you can collect email addresses when
a customer makes a purchase. A customer is already typing important information, so it`s the
perfect time to ask for their email address too. Those new contacts will flow seamlessly into your
master email list with the VerticalResponse integration,
7. Use your email signature to encourage sign ups
Tool to use: WiseStamp
How many emails do you send out a day? Yeah, it`s a lot. Why not put those business emails to work
for you? Use WiseStamp to create a custom email signature. In your signature, you can include your
picture, contact information and business updates. One of those business updates could be a link to
a contact form, like the one you set up in VerticalResponse. Just add the URL to your email
signature. The text can read, "Sign up for our newsletter" or "Join our email list." When clicked, the
subscriber is taken right to the contact form to sign up.
8. Run a social media contest
Tool to use: Woobox
A social media contest can rack up email addresses. From a simple giveaway on Facebook to a 'Pin
in to Win it` contest, Woobox can help you create and manage all kinds of social media contests on
all of the big platforms.
When you create a social media contest, one of the things a participant should be required to do is
enter their email address. As more people participate, your email list grows larger.
