and there different ways. Different groups of people would have different approaches

While some may say this is too soon to subscribe for a website visitors application, try
to remember that your homepage should provide a quick good impression. If somehow
a website visitor finds something that he or she doesn�t like and turns them off, they may
just forget about signing up. 

A good web form for subscribing to an opt-in list is not hard to do. Just write a simple
short statement about how they would like to see more and get updated about the site.
Then there should be an area where they could put in their names and e-mail address.

sign in, your list will be growing.

have well written articles and descriptions of your site. Depending on what your site is all
about, you need to capture your website visitor�s fancy. Make your site useful and very
easy to use. Do not expect everyone to be tech savvy. Invest in having good programming
in your site, make your graphics beautiful but don�t over do it. 

Don�t waste your time making the homepage too overly large megabyte wise. Not all people
have dedicated T1 connections, the faster your site gets loaded, the better. Go for a look that
borders between simplicity and sophisticated knowledge.

3) Provide good service and products. A return customer is more likely to bring in more business.
Even then and now, a satisfied customer will recommend a business always. Word of mouth and recommendations alone can rake in more business than an expensive ad. As your clientele roster
grows so shall your list. With more members on the list, the more people will get to know about
what you have new to offer.
