List Building Secret #32 - Start Your Own Forum
This is a great way to get new subscribers to your newsletter. Building a community within your website brings back repeat visitors, which means people will more then likely sign up for your newsletter if they keep coming back.
You can see an example of this at Howtocorp.com and go look at the forum. He has his newsletter signup form there and product recommendations. People love to help other people and answer their questions, so after awhile you won't need to be answering many questions yourself.
The best way to start your own forum is to do it yourself with software and host it on your own webhosting. Don't use a 3rd party service, especially free ones.
A good piece of forum software can be found at
