Build your Own Opt-in List

Building your Own List is the First Job In Affiliate Marketing.
You have heard the well known phrase: "the money is in the list". You must create
your own free opt-in list if you want to put your online business on the next successful level.
It is not easy but your efforts will pay you off. If you have your own database
of target prospects you can start any promotion by sending your offers
to people who trust in you. There are many strategies to build an opt-in list,
I discuss some ones that bring you good results.

The basic system is to collect your contacts email address.
The method is to put a form on your web page to collect the prospect’s informations. To
make the technique to be successful you can offer a subscribtion to your free newsletter.
You can also offer some freebies to download; your prospect needs to fill out a web form
to get instant access to the download link. The best strategy is your efforts is to
to turn these visitors into hungry customers of your offers.

You can enhance this method by building a squeeze page where the visitor will fill out
a web form. You put a particular attention to build your squeeze page so that your visitor
will be enthusiastic to fill out the form: a very good headline, what you are offering,
what are the benefits for your prospect, who you are, a free report to download,
free e-course delivered directly to his mail box... You call for immediate action
and your list goes on and on! You need to link your squeeze page form with
an autoresponder.

You can also use a pop-under that your visitor will see only after he has read
to the point where he is leaving without ordering. You offer a free product
but you pay attention to not compete your paid product that brings you commission.

There are many programs that offer you their techniques to build your opt-in list.
If you are on budget you could try some free opportunities.

You receive many paid leads opportunities: you purchase the email addresses
from specialised companies. Remember these people have never suscribed to be part
of your list and they are not targeted to your business. You waste time and money
to send them your promotions. The worst point you can be accused to SPAM since
you are sending a non solicited email. The same care will be paid to the free leads
available from some internet promoters.

You know now your "online fortune" is in your list. Go ahead today as soon as
to reach your own opt-in list of 1000 prospects.

To Your Success with Your List
