Two ways to build your opt in list using Facebook

facebook today is more than a social networking site. It's almost an all in one business platform for every adventurous marketer. One of the great many qualities it has is its potential to help internet marketers build an increasing number of opt in list subscribers.

Here are the two list building methods you can use on facebook:
The first method is through the use of a facebook application popular known as Notes. This tool is built into facebook user profiles and can also be added to pages, where members can post lengthy information. As you may have noticed, normal status update has a limited number of words you can use, so the notes app gives more writing space to those with more information to share. Even at that, most internet marketers have little knowledge of the tremendous impact this tool can create in their opt in list building efforts.

The application is found just at the left side of a facebook user profile or business page - just under the applications tab. Here, you can write relevant short articles of not more than 250 words, with your full name and website inserted at the end, then post it to your profile using the notes application.

This application also has another feature which is the tag a friend box. Using this, you can tag your friends on the note you have created. Your friends will likely find the post valuable to read and will visit your website to eventually opt into your list.

The second method is by using the events tool. I have noticed a lot of marketers using this feature and it has really been effective. It is primarily intended to serve as a means of inviting your friends to your upcoming events and sharing the event details with them.

Internet marketers have recently diversified their opt in list building campaign by effectively utilizing this feature to advertise their websites. One other observable thing is that these advertisers have a lot of friends whom they'll invite to the event they have create. So you just have to create an event which advertises your website and then invite your friends. Even when your invited friends do not indicate whether they'll attend or not, they eventually see your website.

This makes it a great way to build you opt in list especially when you have a good squeeze page.
