Building Your Business With An Opt-In List
One of the things that any online marketer should give priority to is in building a list of
opt in subscribers. The reason for this is that it is much easier and much more lucrative to market to people who
have already shown a desire and interest in your product by subscribing to your list.
Before revealing the list building techniques, here are some misconceptions that need to be cleared before one
indulges into building a list. These marketing misconceptions could pose so much of an obstacle towards your
profiting from your business.
Email marketing campaigns can offend a lot of
people
Well if not done in a right and professional way that is probably true and that is one of
the main reasons that you should build a list of opt in subscribers. Its no secret to more seasoned marketers that
by having a list of opt ins you have permission to contact them periodically with your offers without the worry of
being accused of spamming.
It's stupid to send email to all the people
The key to this is to build a list of double opt in subscribers, that is, they have shown a
pronounced interest to your offer of a product/information by signing up to your list on the opt in form, and then
by confirming that they wish to receive information from you by clicking on the link in your email sent from your
autoresponder. By employing this method you can be reasonably sure that your subscribers will read your emails
containing your offers, and also you won't be accused of spamming. Having cleared up the two main misconceptions
about email marketing we can now discuss the tools, methods, and list building techniques needed to build a list of
optin subscribers.
No1. You will need a domain name, website/blog and
hosting.
lets be honest without this how will we be able to build our list. Now if you are new and
just starting your internet business and working to a tight budget you can start off with a free blog hosted with
one of the free hosting companys, but make sure that you will be able to install an autoresponder onto your blog.
If your budget allows it I would recommend buying hosting from a good hosting company, there are many around, but
the one I use is Justhost, the price plans
are very reasonable, the support is excellent and you can host multiple domains on the one plan, great for when you
want to expand your business.
No2. You will need an autoresponder.
This tool is an essential piece of equipment for internet marketers and without it building
a large list of subscribers would be virtually impossible. What this tool does is capture the names and email
addresses of your optins and replies to them automatically with your preloaded messages that you have set to be
delivered at specific times. The big question? Is it best to subscribe to a autoresponder company such as Aweber or
Getresponse and pay a monthly fee, or is it feasable to pay a one time price for a autoresponder, well while the
monthly fee companys might be quite good, personally I think that if you are just starting out then the one time
payment for an autoresponder is a better option solely because until you have built your list and you are making
some profit the fee you would be paying monthly could be put to better use in your business, and the one I would
strongly recommend you taking a look at is Rapidresponse. who at the moment are
offering a lifetime account plus bonuses for a ridiculously small one off payment.
How to Build An Opt-In Mailing List?
One of the most potent and important tools an online marketer can have is an opt in mailing list. . An opt-in
mailing list is a database of peoples’ names and email addresses that have subscribed to a marketers email list via
a web form, giving the marketer permission to send them periodic emails on the topic and products they are
interested in. The benefits of marketing through an opt in mailing list are manyfold with the most important being
able to legitimately contact people who are particularly interested in your product or service whilst also reducing
the cost and time of advertising your service or product.
There are do’s and don’ts in building a list of opt-in subscribers which shouldn't be ignored if you don.'t want
to fall foul of anti spam laws. Here are some of the most important tips worth mentioning:
Do's
1.Put a subscription form prominently on your website, usually above the fold is the best place to put it ( near
top of page ).
2.Put a link in your thank you email for the subscriber to click on and confirm that they would like to receive
information and offers from you, this is called double opt in.
3. provide a link that your list members can use to unsubscribe from your list if they no longer wish to get
information from you.
4. Be clear on how people can profit from subscribing and how often you will contact them. Let them know exactly
what they will be receiving.
5. Always try to provide good quality, interesting and relevant information in your follow up emails to lessen
the chance of members unsubscribing.
.
DON’T
1. Add everyone who has ever emailed you to your list. Always ask permission initially.
2. Purchase lists that you are not 100% sure are opt-in. Always have proof to prove the legitimacy of the
opt-ins.
3. Abuse people’s trust by hammering them daily with offers of every affiliate programme on the market. Doing
this will only ruin your reputation as a legitimate source of quality information and products and soon enough they
will ignore your messages and probably unsubscribe from your list.
To start Building your opt-in mailing list there are a few basic, but at the same time very important
things to do. Firstly you must set up a simple website or blog containing a lead capture page ( squeeze page ), a
hosting account and
also an autoresponder that links to
that site, once these steps have been completed you have all the tools required to start building your list.
There are numerous ways to entice visitors to your site into signing up to your list and some of the most common
and widely used techniques include giving away a free report, ebook or piece of software in return for the visitors
name and email address. This is a method that I fully recommend as long as the product being given away is of good
quality information relating to your chosen niche. If you don't have your own product to give away you can always
find some decent PLR material that you can rebrand as your own, from one of the many online PLR membership sites a
few will even allow you so many free downloads, one word of caution though if the product is a free download always
review it first to make sure that the product meets your requirements in both content and quality, or you could
even consider investing a few dollars in buying some better quality PLR to rebrand knowing that once you have
started to build your list that investment will pay for itself many times over.
So you now have your site set up complete with a squeeze page and product ready to give away, you have your
autoresponder ready to send
out your preloaded messages, what you need now is traffic to your site because without traffic all the work you
have already done is going to be a waste of precious time. This is where some work and effort is needed to
create targeted traffic to your site.
Make sure you submit your site to all the main search engines, google, yahoo, msn etc you should only have to do
this the one time. Add new relevant content to your site on a regular basis, the search engines love that.
Write content rich Articles> about your
specific niche and post them to as many article directories as you possibly can always putting your URL in the
resources box.
Join and participate in as many forums that deal with your niche again leaving your URL on any posts that you
make.
Post free classified adds offering your free information or software.
Get accounts at hubpages and squidoo and build your own lens with links pointing back to your site. The trick is to
be original and creative by using as many on line resources you can find that will give you the opportunity to
direct traffic back to your site. For a more in depth look at traffic tactics click here .
