If you’re building a list, you need to generate traffic to your optin page. Some of you may decide to spend some money on advertising to get subscribers. While it’s true that building your list is a good investment, it would be a lot better if you could make some money up front so your advertising costs are covered. A way to make money before you warm up your list and start sending out offers.

There are two opportunities that you are presented with every time someone enters their name and email address and subscribe to your list. The first opportunity is on the page your new subscribers are sent to immediately after they subscribe. Here’s the first opportunity that you can use to make money right away.

When you set up your autoresponder and get the code you need so visitors can enter their name and email address, there is a page that they will be sent to after they hit the submit button. The service you use will usually have a default page that they are sent to that tells them that they have successfully subscribed. These default pages are very basic but useful.

There is an option to direct a new subscriber to a page of your choice after subscribing. Here’s where you can make money right away. Create a page that informs them that they have successfully subscribed, and then offer them the opportunity to take a look at some of your products. These can be affiliate offers, or they can be offers for a product of your own.

To make this work, the offer has to be really enticing. You could offer a substantial discount if they buy right now. Or you could offer a bonus that is not available to people who buy from the sales page.

Here’s your second opportunity to make some quick cash. After someone subscribes, they will get an email with a link that they need to click on to confirm that they want to subscribe to your list. Again, most autoresponder services have a default page that is very basic and informs them that they have successfully confirmed their subscription.

On this page, you would probably want to make a different offer. You could offer a substantial discount on a product. You could make this a one time offer. If they don’t buy from the page they’re on, they will miss out on the discount, and will have to pay the regular price if they wait to make a purchase.

It’s a good idea to make your offer one that is relatively inexpensive. They don’t know you yet, and they may be reluctant to spend a large sum of money up front. So concentrate on lower cost offers.

This is a way to make some cash while you’re building your list. It’s easy to do, and you can be sure that everyone who subscribes will see the pages that you create and will see your offers. Not everyone will be interested, but there’s a good chance that you can generate enough cash to pay for any advertising costs. And if they become a customer and are happy with what they’ve purchased, they’re more likely to buy from you again. Try it out and see what happens.
