    1. Integrate email sign-up forms on a social landing page<\/h2>\n

    One of the easiest ways to get email addresses from social media followers is to connect with your audiences across different channels using a single link.<\/p>\n

    This can be done by simply creating a landing page with the sole purpose of collecting email addresses. You can then share the link to this landing page in your profiles. Once people click to that page, they can sign up for your email list or view any other calls to action you want them to take.<\/p>\n

    You can collect email subscribers by connecting your email sign-up forms to the page and then sharing the link in your social media bios.\u00a0 That said, keep in mind that email subscribers are only going to join your email list if you offer them some type of value in return.<\/p>\n

    For example, let\u2019s say that your audience is most likely interested in growing they\u2019re social media following.\u00a0 Instead of stating \u201cSign up for my email list,\u201d it\u2019s better to say \u201cSign up for my email list and get an exclusive PDF to learn how to grow your social media following.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

    This makes for a better value exchange.\u00a0 Instead of the reader giving you their email address, they\u2019re now giving it to you in exchange for a valuable download that till help them and their business.<\/p>\n

    2. Personalize your CTAs<\/h2>\n

    Another tactic to help you build your list for free is to create personalized calls to action<\/a> for each of your blog posts or landing pages. This way, you\u2019ll appeal to relevant visitors and entice them to sign up for your list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Remember, people who come to your web pages are searching for something specific <\/em>and so if your call to action meets their unique needs, you\u2019ll boost your conversion rates significantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    For example, if you get a lot of visitors to your \u201cHow to build a blog\u201d article, then you might include a super-relevant CTA such as \u201cClick here to download a free blog creation checklist.\u201d<\/p>\n
