Have you ever wondered how the big marketers have grown
their businesses? Of course they have some good products in Niche markets but
how do they manage to develop their profitable business?
The answer is very simple. They build opt in email lists which
in turn build profitable businesses. One of the best ways to do this is by
starting a newsletter.
Newsletter: a newsletter is one of the best ways to build a
large responsive list. To do this you need a website and an autoresponder. You
can put up a subscription box on your website and then drive targeted traffic
to your site. The autoresponder will automatically add those who sign up to
your list.
3 ways that you can entice people to subscribe to your
newsletter:
Free
gift: People love a freebie and will be happy to sign up and receive your
gift. It needs to be of interest to your market and good quality. Here are
some examples of what you can give away.
E-books
E-reports
E-courses
It is preferable to either have
these gifts ghost written for you or write them yourself. This will build up
credibility for you in the eyes of your new subscribers. They will also be more
inclined to open your newsletter for more information.
Landing
page: a landing page or squeeze page is like a mini sales letter for your list.
It will have an eye catching headline, benefits, one or more free gifts
and of course a call for action.
Blogging:
having a blog is a good way to get people interested in your site and
newsletter. You write short interesting articles for your blog with a
link. People read it and come to your website for more information. They
will sign up for your newsletter and join your list. Blogging needs to be
done daily for the best effect. The easiest place to start a blog is
blogger.com and word press.
3 ways that an opt in list will help your business:
Announcement
lists: these are lists made up of people who want to hear about your
offers. You announce to this list all sorts of great deals on your
products or add a bonus for affiliate products. You cannot announce too
often, just once a month will usually be enough. The trick is to make the
deal so good that it will be irresistible to your subscribers.
Joint
ventures: this is one of the best ways to make some quick money. All you
need is a responsive list which is 1000 subscribers or more. You partner
with a person who has a very desirable product for your subscribers. When
you offer the product to your subscribers they will buy and you will get a
commission. This is an easy way to profit from your list.
Ads in
your newsletter: you can also ad a couple of ads for some of your
affiliate products or your own service or product. Try not to overdo this
or you will end up with a lot of subscribers leaving your list. Just 1 or
2 ads will be sufficient.
