Ten Tips to Building Your Opt-in List.


To build and maintain your opt-in list requires constant attention.

As either a bricks and mortar or a cyber space business itis always easier and more cost effective to promote to yourwarm market.

Many shops and department stores provide debit-cardsand even membership cards for their regular customers.

These return customers are classed as your warm market.It is far cheaper to post out a special promotion to existingcustomers as opposed to sending out many thousands of leaflets covering the whole city in the hope of obtaining new customers.

It boils down to you Return On Investment or 'ROI'

Its far more profitable to invest a thousand dollars in sendinga special discount offer to existing customers or warm list.

In a bricks and mortar business your list will almost alwaysbe made up of existing customers. The other way to build a list is to go to a Trade Fair or show and provide formswith a lucky draw. You are providing a prize and askingpotential customers to fill out your form that may ask people to guess the number of jelly beans in the jar orto answer a question about your product which is on display.

Running a business on the Internet is similar to running a business in a store except some of the rules are different.

To build your list on the Internet can be achieved in a numberof ways.

5 Tips to building a list.

1. Buy leads. Very simple, by purchasing quality bulk numbers of prospects to place in your marketing campaign.

2. Own and promote your own website and then promote it some more.

3. Have some way of collecting peoples information like providinga service or offering a free gift for people who fill in a form.

4.Create your own weekly newsletter that contains useful and relevant information related to the content of your Web site.Provide a form for your Web site visitors to receive your Newsletter.

5. Networking with others on the internet. You can become a member of the Ryze.com or PowerfullIntentions.comnetworks and even ICQ and other internet messengersto meet and form friendships or network with other members.

5 Tips to maintain and keep your list healthy and interested in your product, service or ...

1. Keep in contact with your list on a regular basis, sent thema weekly or monthly newsletter with helpful tips and product news.

2. Send out special offers from time to time.

3. Provide information of value to make your prospectsor customers life easier.

4. Ask your readers a question that requires either visitinga web page at your site or send you an email for a bonusor special report, just to see if people are reading theemail you are sending to them.

5. Give something useful away for free.

Once you have your own list there will always be peopleopting out so you have to continually build and maintain your list. If anyone sends you an email about a problem they are experiencing and ask for your help, always go thatextra mile. If I were to be ask about headlines or keywords on on a persons site, I will visit their site and make a point ofcomplementing them on one or two of the positive things I see on their site.

Personally publishing my own weekly ezine I have people every week asking for help. Two questions that stand outare firstly "How does one check what the opposition is doing?"This was in relation to promoting your site and checkingto see how others are marketing similar products.

This person was searching for promotion ideas and found one of my articles listed in an ezine directory. This personhas a sports Web site and would not have normally read this ezine. My thought here is that you may not necessarilyneed to publish a weekly or monthly newsletter as long as you write articles and send them out to article directoriesor write in forums that deal with the product or serviceyou are promoting.

The second person asked me this week about site mapcreation software after finding an article I wrote somemonths ago about site maps. I had not even realizedthere was such a software available. I thought I hadtrouble keeping a site map up to date for a site containing200 pages but this lady had 800 pages of graphics soI instantly knew the problem she was facing.

These two people used a search engine and found 2 of my articles and had contacted me asking for my help.I don't claim to be an expert but in saying that I usuallyspend time researching an article - topic if I am not familiarwith it.

BUT as these two people found what I had written on the topic they were having difficulty with, and some how my articles managed to get listed in search engines among the tens of thousandsof other similar pages and read by these two people.

Well, maybe I do have some skills after all, with search engines,Web sites, promotion and writing but I wouldn't go as far as tosay I was an expert in these fields, just that I have researchedenough to know a little more than the basics. You can do the same as the Internet is a 20 lane super information Highway.The information is there, its just a matter of finding it.

Guess what - I bet you have Skills that I don't have, skills thatyou can use to help and share with others too.

The 2 most important factors in any Internet Entrepreneurs success is owning your own Web site and your own list.

May your week be a successful one.
