Kick-Starting E-mail Profits Growth From One Single Shot!

by: Valeriu S Popescu

- by Valeriu S. Popescu

Perhaps the most critical step in guaranteeing the success of your e-mail promotions is to send your messages to a targeted list of opt-in subscribers who have specifically requested to receive information on a particular topic from you. That's your "in-house" email list.

Sooner or later, you'll face the same challenge: how to build a list of qualified, targeted prospects from scratch.

When it comes to building an e-mail list, online marketers tend to spread on too many options. Offen, they neglect to focus on a single promotion 'til the end
and exploit to the fullest potential. Here's an example.

Suppose you run a newsletter and have a web page or popup
window which invite prospects to subscribe. As a reward
for giving their e-mail address, you offer them a bonus.

That's fine -- but not enought! You are loosing money simply
by leaving empty profit places in your message.

Wouldn't be nice to build actually 3 different mailing lists
from one "stroke"? Of course! For better understanding, I'll
stick with the same newsletter example. So, clear-up your
newsletter invitation and insert couple of extra carefully
selected phrases. Follow these steps:

Step #1 --> Insert a Newsletter Subscription

Obviously, this is your primer objective. A new subscriber
is a potential new source of profit. It is a common sense to
tell people what to expect up front. The more relevant seems
your offer to the desired relationship, the better.

Step #2 --> Insert a Special Report

Be smart: upload your report to an autoresponder. The trick
is to provide high-quality content AND an offer that will
earn you a profit!

You know the rest: the autoresponder send out automatically
additional reports and follow-up messages to those who get
the initial report. The results: more sales and profits.

Step #3 --> Insert an eCourse

Each lesson of the eCourse provides at least one offer (and
usually multiple offers) for the reader to consider. Many
buy, some don't. But it's another automated profit system.

Step #4 --> Insert a Mystery Bonus

Mystery bonus? Yes! People universally love mystery. Be sure
you won't let the prospects know what is all about up until
they subscribe.

What you need at this point: an ebook that is coded with
your own affiliate links! (Psst... invite them to pass it
out as an incentive!)

The final results: 3 separate lists (from newsletter
subscription, special report, and ecourse) and a viral
marketing tool (the mystery ebook)! Everything easy to set-
up and ready to upload to your web site in less than an hour
of work. Not bad!

Things to remember BEFORE you implement this e-mail
marketing strategy:

- be accurate and clear with your messages.

- spell out features/benefits/advantages in your offer.

- don't go only after e-mail list quantity. Your e-mail list
should balance QUALITY with QUANTITY issues.

- ALWAYS provide high-quality content.

- implement your system ON EVERY PAGE of your web site.

- always use professional sequential autoresponders to
PERSONALIZE each of your e-mail messages.

- test subject lines and messages until you get the highest
results.

- check your messages to make sure links work properly.

- use high quality graphics to first-impress.

- NEVER forget to 'THANK YOU' prospects once they give you
their e-mail address.

- ALWAYS allow prospects to self-remove from your e-mail
lists.

E-Z GRO Opt-In Mailing List Techniques
by: Shon Christopher

An opt-in mailing list can be your most solid internet marketing tool. Think of it as a foot in the door � or better yet, a standing invitation to drop by anytime. Research has shown that it takes an average of seven contacts with a prospect to make your first sale.

It�s hard to count on someone returning to your web site seven times � but if you get them there once, and convince them to join your opt-in mailing list, you have a standing invitation to contact them with your offers, at your convenience.

The trick, of course, is turning your web site visitors into opt-in list subscribers. Opt-in list building is easier than you think. There are a number of tried and true methods of list building that you can use � but don�t be afraid to think outside the box to sign up folks who drop by your web site for a short visit.

Start with a good reason for people to join your opt-in list.

People don�t join opt-in lists out of the goodness of their hearts � they opt in because you�re offering them something of value. What have you got to offer?

� Get a 10% discount on all purchases over $25 � exclusive to members of our mailing list!

� Find out about our newest products through our opt-in mailing list!

� We�ll keep you up to date on the latest developments in [insert your field here].

� Special discount prices and offers exclusively for members of our mailing list.

Get the picture? You�re not saying, �Hey, can I keep bugging you to try to sell you stuff?� You�re offering a service � �I�ll let you know when I�ve got good stuff you want to buy.�

Post the invitation to join your opt-in list prominently on your web site. Simple list building truth number one is that people can�t join your opt-in list if they don�t know about it. Put an invitation to join your email list on every single page of your site � and make the invitation enticing.

Practice opt-in list building everywhere.

Include a short invitation to join your opt-in email list as part of your email signature so that it goes out every time you email someone. If you do a presentation or event, personally invite participants or booth visitors to join your opt in email list.

Bribe people to sign up with a free gift.

Bribery is a tried-and-true fast list building technique and website promotion tool. Selling weight loss products? Put together an e-book of weight loss facts about nutrition and offer it as an incentive to sign up for your opt in list. Be creative, and watch your list grow like a weed.

Offer incentives for referrals.
