Building an Opt-In List, Building Relationships
If you do not have a website then you can not put an opt in form on your site, but there are other ways!
The world wide web is a huge market and your business or marketing program is exposed to it. Imagine the whole online community as potential clients!
Now, as I said, one of the best marketing tools that you can use in your online business is building a list. An opt-in list is an effective way to offer future promotions and to continually promote. This means you can make enormous amounts income from your sales. You want your business to be a profitable one.
Any visitor that comes to your web site is a potential client. If you have information your visitor is interested in, then offer them more. If they subscribe to your information, then provide that for them.
Building a list works. Over and over again we hear the words…’The money is in the list!’ For every subscriber, you can work on 50c to $1 income per month. It doesn’t sound much but a list of 1,000 subscribers is still $500 to $1,000 every month.
When your list is a big fat zero those words are very disheartening.
Once you have a list you will also save money, time and effort. When you come up with a new product or new information, you know exactly who you will send updates to because you have a definite market.
This is one area that you will have to maintain if you want to have a steady source of income.
At the same time you should also be careful when building your opt-in list.
Don’t ever spam to potential subscribers. Right from the start they are not going to trust you. Lists are built on trust.
The benefits of having many regular subscribers are undeniable. They will definitely keep your business going and you will definitely enjoy the profits that will come in.
Once you’ve build up on a substantial opt-in list, make sure that you maintain it properly. Keep in contact with your subscribers. Send them updates. Give out special offers and helpful tips.
Go the extra step when building your list and their trust. ‘Over deliver’ in other words. Be prepared to give, before you start promoting your products, and don’t be in too much of a hurry to make dollars. delayed gratification is what it is all about.
Google Adwords PPC
Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE!
A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an “oversight” on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.
And no, nothing about his “secret” is illegal - nor does it require that you know someone on the “inside” at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.
Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it.”
This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children’s toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses - all the while applying his mastermind secret.
Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses “I’ve actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for … and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines … all of which I got for free …”
So powerful is his secret that he’s able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.
He still has to set up an account with the search engines - but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.
Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.
One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret “Wow! Ha! This is really unique … and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!”
The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years’ period of time since applying his secret he’s done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really “buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential.”
Now to everyone else’s fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he’s not promising any of us for how long.
A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says “We’ll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things.”
One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret “he’s already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it’s still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this.”
