A responsive opt in list is an unbelievably powerful money-maker
on the internet. With responsive opt in list you can guarantee
yourself a steady income. A responsive opt in list will make
money through you advertising other people's products, through
affiliate sales and of course through sales of your own.
However, responsive opt in lists are not found commonly on the
internet, primarily because owners of opt in lists do not put
the time into building strong relationships with their list
members. Strong relationships with your list members are
essential because they will begin to trust you and will
seriously consider what you have to say. Other webmasters will
notice the great response rate of your list and will beg to be
able to advertise with a solo mailing. Of course if your list is
in high demand for advertising, you can push the price of ad
space up, which will lead to additional profits. Here are some
great ways to build great relationships with your list members
without you spending hours of your time.
-- When you capture list members' email addresses be sure to
capture their first name too. This way you will be able to
personalise all your messages with your list member's name. Not
only will this increase the chance of your list member reading
the message, it will also make him or her feel like they are
being addressed personally. No one likes to be the recipient of
a bulk email, so write the email as if you are talking to one
person in a conversational style. This will make each and every
one of your list members feel like the email is for their
reading and no one else's.
-- By using the power of autoresponders send a free 7 day course
on whatever your internet business is based around. A good free
autoresponder can be found at http://www.getresponse.com. You
can be sure that your list members will be interested in what
your course has to offer, and if your course is helpful and well
written then they will acknowledge you as an expert in your
field and will put trust in you. If you haven't the time to
write your own course, there are plenty of prewritten courses
which you can use as your own for free.
-- Give your list members random free downloads and special
gifts. Surprise gifts are a great way to quickly get on the good
side of your list members. Make sure the gifts are relevant to
the subject of your website otherwise you can't be sure that
your list members will be interested in them. If the downloads
are good then your list members will never opt out (remove
themselves from your list), and they will get to know that all
the products that you offer them are worthwhile and useful.
-- Make your list members feel like they are unique and not just
another member on your list. This is a very simple technique
that you can use to make members on your list extremely happy
and responsive. For example, you could take statistics from your
site and tell the 1000th list member that they were the 1000th
sign up to your list and then you could give them a free bonus.
You could use all kinds of statistics like: 100th download, top
downloader, top purchaser etc? This will make these individuals
feel extremely pleased and will become extremely responsive.
-- Be careful about the types of products you recommend.
Although you may be tempted to advertise the product which gives
75% commission this may not be the best product for the people
on your list and this should always be your top priority. Be
sure to try products yourself before you recommend them so that
you know they are very useful and work properly. If you
recommend a steady stream of good, useful products to your list
members then they will recognise this and will trust you more.
The same goes for selling ad space in your emails. Make sure
they are relevant ads and that anyone who clicks on them will
not be disappointed.
Just remember that your list members are real people and not
just email addresses that don't have thoughts and opinions. Long
and good relationships with your opt in list members will lead
them to become responsive and will mean more profits for you.
