[F767]Free Opt In Email List

by Patrick Sia, Pat

We worked hard to build a list and it would be great if we could make full use of it. There are three simple keys that you could make your opt -in email list could be the single biggest money-maker.
All it takes is to have Consistency in QUALITY, Regularity and Delivery. Let me go through these areas.

Providing value to your list members.
It seems common sense. However, the overwhelming majority of owners miss out from the beginning. If you don't provide genuine value to your list members you simply won't make money from your list. The reader will simply unsubscribe, or they may stop reading your mailings.

To provide genuine value to your list members, we need to publish original content. While it is absolutely acceptable to reprint other people's content in your publication, you should also have your own voice as well. People join your list because they want to hear from you.

It is important that that you publish your own original articles, tips, ideas in each publication you send out to your list. Be understand that if they can get it elsewhere, why should they join your list in the first place?

When it comes to information, Value = Usefulness. How valuable content is to a person is directly related to how useful they find that information. You content must be applicable to your reader. Give your reader those information that they need they'll give you their attention, and eventually their business.

Sending promotional mailings regularly.
From research studies, it was noted that if we don't send promotional mailings regularly, the response rates will go down dramatically. This was also been tested by a lot of other people. However, it doesn't mean that send many mailing a day will help to increase the response rate.
They key is balance.

As a general rule of thumb, one promotional mailing per week should be sufficient and could produce the best results. However, it must be consistent and regular.

Verifying your members is receiving your mailings.
You can have good content in your mailing and send them out in a regular basis. However, if no one on the other end of the line is getting these mailings, it's a waste of your time.

Research shows that as few as 10% of the total list members on any given list may actually be receiving the messages. If you're getting poor results from your offers, then the first place I'd look is to make certain your list members are actually receiving and reading your email messages.

One of the most powerful techniques to build your online business is building an opt-in email list. Email is the most convenient way to contact people these days. Also if you are trying to promote a web site, then all of your prospective visitors should have access to email. To build an opt-in email list, you will have to obtain people's email addresses, which is not the easiest task to accomplish.

People are not too eager to give out their email addresses to just anyone. With spam at an all-time high, many people already receive many emails everyday that they do not want to receive. However if you give a person an incentive to give you their email address, then they will be more inclined to do so. Usually a nice gift, consisting of a product, a magazine subscription, an e-book, etc. is a nice incentive to get a person to give you their email address.

Another good way to build an opt-in email list is to create a series of emails like “7 Ways to Build an Opt-In Email List”, and then send one email a day for a week. Then at the end of the week, you can send them an email that lets them know they have received a free subscription to your email list. After that you have two ways to allow them to accept or decline your invitation. You can tell them they are signed up for the newsletter, and give them the chance to opt-out, or you can tell them they have a chance to receive this email, and allow them to opt-in. Most of the time people will not opt-out of an email list, but they also might just send your email to the trash folder without reading it. With an opt-out email you will build a large email list, but the users might not be very responsive to your message. However, if the user has to opt-in to your email list, then you will receive fewer people on your list, but they will be more apt to listen to what you have to say. These users will be more likely to purchase your products as well!
