[W445]What Is A Good Profit Margin

by John Savage, Joh

You finally realize that you need a good opt in list. After reading countless articles and seeking expert advice and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt in lists and have followed peoples advice to the T and you still were not able to make a profit.

In fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You will realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.

So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic which you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just is not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list does not mean they are going to buy instantly.

Here I will offer some advice, for those who have started an opt in list and have failed. You can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt in list.

1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advice and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what your business is all about.

The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they dont know you.

Now, before you read any further I just want to step in here and say that I really do hope that you are finding this helpful. All of us need to know more about this subject, and hopefully this article will provide just a little extra knowledge for you. So, having said that, lets continue.

2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money into something which you could sell and which the buyers or subscribers of your opt in list can use.

While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have an interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you will see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.

Building a profitable opt in list does not just happen overnight. There is much preparation and effort to do. Opt in lists are built from scratch, and as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.

So let me finish this article by saying that there is lot and lots of information available on how to build a profitable list, you just need to research it. Try your local bookstore, your local library, the internet or, as mentioned earlier, ask other people in the business.

First of all please adhere to Google's Terms of service (TOS), policies, rules and regulations of the programme. These TOS may be regarding placing of ads, quality content, webmaster rules and clicks etc.,

Do not click on your own ads: We may come across some of them who click on their own ads to earn a quick money and getting banned from adsense. But in some cases we click our own ads by mistake which we need to avoid. In case if you want to view the landing page of the ad, you can directly check thru the Internet explorer rather than clicking on our own ads. Google keeps record of all clicks.

Do not place ads exceeding the adsense requirement. For better result place few ads per page. You can try placing in different locations. Usually, Medium rectangular type ads provides good results. It is suggested to place ads inbetween the body of web page.

Now coming to content of website which is the base of website and adsense. DO NOT place google ads on the webpages with no content. Google pays for the ads displayed on the content page. Your website should have a good quality content. Please try not to have a duplicate content which you may get from various sources.

Please follows website rules strictly. Your website should have a friendly navigation. Readers should not have any problem while navigating your webpages. It is better to have a sitemap. Do not display google ads on website which is under construction.

Now lets talk about how to earn more revenue from adsense. The first only way is "Traffic". More traffic means more hits which means more earnings and more conversions, more money. But the questions is how to drive traffic?

There are many ways to drive traffic like search engine ranking. However, we all know search engine ranking is a time consuming. Your website shall take several weeks/months to drive a reasonable traffic.

But there is another way to drive traffic instantly, that is buying traffic. For instance I have bought traffic from Google Adwords. Signing up process for Google Adwords is easy. You can visit google adwords for signing up.

When I started using Google Adwords for driving traffic, I started getting lot of traffic but at the same time I was also paying towards Google Adwords ending up not making much profits. Then I started analyzing on costing and ad placements. I found that my CTR - Click thru rate is only about 40% to 50% which is not so good for profit. Later, started placing ad in different directions and with different sizes of ads.

I found most of big banner ads on the top of the page and medium rectangular ad inbetween the content working fine. My CTR went up around 65%. which is reasonably good. However, CTR around 70% is said to be very good for good profit. Even after 65% of CTR I was not able to make much profit. There was something wrong with my website. No, actually, there was excess investment towards adwords.

Hence, I started working on Adowrds costing vs. Adsense earnings. I found that, I was paying to Adwords equivalent to what I was getting from Adsense. This was my main key point for profit. Finally, I selected some low cost keywords from Adwords and fixed CPC lower than the adsense CPC. Now, I am getting reasonable profits.

Finally, we shall conclude with the understanding that for earning good profit from adsense it is just not enough working on ad placement and ad campaign but it is also equally important working on costs.
