Did you know that it’s much easier to earn a profit from a person that is
already interested in what you have to offer?
Chances are, if someone has already signed up or “opted in” to receive
information from you, then they are willing to take a look at products
and programs that you tell them about.
So, if you want to make any type of steady income online, the first thing you
will need to do is create a mailing list of subscribers.
Keep in mind the size of your list is not as important as the quality of the names on your list.
Always give your subscribers quality content and they will be more reseptive when you try and sell them a product or service.
Lets start with the goal of setting up a list of a few hundred subscribers and help
earn a some extra cash
There are several ways to quickly build a list of subscribers. I’m going to
list a few ways to start below.
And remember if you have any questions you can contact me at any time.
Here we go…
1. You will want to place a sign up form for your list on your website, blog,
and even your “About Me” Page on your favorite social or auction website,
like My Space or Ebay.
If you need help doing this it is best to check with your autoresponder service
as they should have complete instructions. If you don’t have an autoresponder
it will be a good idea to investigate a few and choose one that suits your needs.
There are free autoresponders but these have advertising and that does not look professional.
2. There are specific list building programs, such as Listopt.com and Listdotcom.com
that you can use if you are prepared to put in the work of building a down line of subscribers.
These can be very good.
3. You can do a joint venture. Once you have a list and you are looking to get more
subscribers then you can get in touch with the owner of a similar list or ezine and make
arrangements to recommend each other to your lists.
Keep in mind that most people don’t just sign up to just one list so it could
be a great arrangement for both of you.
4. Join a giveaway event. These are basically another form of joint venture.
They usually consist of several list owners banding together and offering
one of their products for free to any one who joins the event as a member.
This benefits you, as a contributor by requiring all of the people that join
the giveaway to give you their name and email address so that they can
download your gift.
These events can be very beneficial when building your list.
There are many other ways and places that will help you build your list,
but these suggestions should get you started.
The main goal is to start a list of credible email addresses that “opt-in”
(which means they give you permission) so you can send offers to them.
Using any of the ideas above, or better yet, all of them, you will
begin building your list.
Out of the four ways above the quickest way to get subscribers is by joining
a giveaway event. However at the begining of you IM career you may not have a product to submit to the giveaway event.
You can find these by subscribing to free marketing newsletters and by
joining specialized marketing forums such as The Internet Marketing Warrior
Forum, Free Advertising Forum, or IM4Newbies Forum.
You may also want to check out JV-Network.com. This is great for finding good joint ventures.
When building your list it is a good idea to steer clear of purchasing lists of email addresses….
most of the time they just don’t work!
Now let’s move on to how you will collect and manage your list of email addresses.
You can do this by using an autoresponder system or service. There are two
main types of auto responders that you can use.
1. A script that you run yourself from your own web space.
2 A service that you sign up for and pay a fee.
You can download a free script from Hotscripts.com or any of the other
script sites online. To find one just do a search for “autoresponder script”
in your favorite search engine.
If you prefer not to go through the lengthy and confusing process of setting
up your own mailing list script, then an alternative is to go through a reliable
paid autoresponder service.
As a matter of fact you can sign up for a free account so that can test out the
service before you spend any money.
This is a great way to get started when you’re on a budget.
