Another Way To Easily Get Subscribers On Your List

May 10th

I learn a lot by being subscribed to a lot of lists. Once in a while I come across a real gem of an idea. A list that I am on was recommending another marketers list, and one of the advantages of subscribing was that I would get 20 PLR articles a day for free.

I decided to subscribe, and I did get access to 20 PLR articles. The next day, the same thing, as promised. The beauty of this is that as long as I want the articles, I will stay subscribed. I am getting a real benefit from being on the list.

But the question is – why would he give away articles every day? What’s in it for him, and why am I telling you about this.

Simple. In every email he sends, there is a link to a web page to go to where you can download that day’s articles. On that page are ads and promos for other products. And when I click on the link to download the articles, a web site pops up with another offer.

This list owner is monetizing his list by giving away something that a lot of people want, and he gets the opportunity to put his offers in front of his subscribers every day without sending offers in the email.

Once in a while, he sends out additional email messages with offers for free stuff or other products that he thinks his subscribers may be interested in. That’s OK, because he is giving away valuable stuff every day.

This is an excellent example of giving subscribers value for signing up for a list. Most of the lists I sign up for only clog up my inbox with offer after offer. This guy is giving first. And even if you don’t purchase anything at all, you continue to get the free articles.

You can use this idea in your own list building efforts. You don’t have to use articles, and you don’t have to give away something every day. Use your imagination and you can come up with ideas for a way to use this way of doing things for your own list.

Did you miss out on your opportunity to get in on List Control? Too bad you couldn’t spend that extra $2,000 on training that would have taught you how to build a list!

Note: I’m having a bit of fun here. I am a fan of Frank Kern, and if I had the extra cash, I would have considered buying list control.

It is necessary to your online success that you build a list. But it isn’t necessary to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to learn how to do it. What I want to let you know is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to learn how to build a list, and you don’t have to wait until you save up the money to invest in an expensive training system to get started.

You can get started right now for a fraction of what it would have cost for List Control. You can learn from one of the best in the business, Marlon Sanders, who has been building lists for over 10 years.  Marlon Sanders is one of the pioneers of online marketing, and he was building lists when list building wasn’t cool.

Marlon has a product called The Promo Dashboard. In this product, he shows you how he started an internet business at home from scratch and sold $1,000,000.

It’s not about product launches or directly driving traffic to your sales page. What it IS about is building a list of subscribers that will buy from you over and over again.

What he does is take you from someone who doesn’t have a list through all of the steps needed to get subscribers, send them useful information and offers, and getting them to buy from you. Not once. But over and over.

Here’s what is covered in The Promo Dashboard:

  • Discovering where your target market is hanging out – forums, blogs, what sites they visit.
  • Creating a really cool bonus that you can offer as a free gift for subscribing.
  • Setting up and creating your opt-in page.
  • Setting up your autoresponder account.

This is a complete course on list building. You get access to training that includes videos, audios, screen capture examples, and links to free tools you can use to build your list.

Yeah, you can spend a lot of money and purchase several list building products. The Promo Dashboard has everything you need, and it won’t cost you a few weeks salary.

The 3 Easy Steps To Building And Profiting From Your List

Feb 4th

Any time you want to promote a product, you need to get the offer in front of prospective customers. Paid advertising works, but it can cut into your profits. The number one way to get your offers in front of as many people as possible in your market is to have a list of subscribers. As you’ve heard many times, “The Money’s In The List”.

First you have to have a list. And if you’re just starting out, it can seem almost impossible to get 1,000 or more subscribers onto your list. And even if you manage to get a lot of subscribers, if they aren’t interested in buying anything, you’re wasting your time. You want your subscribers to be interested in your market and open to spending money on products related to that market.

The good news is that Marlon Sanders has laid out building and profiting from a list into 3 easy steps. And he’s offering a free report and video that walks you through the 3 steps called “The Only 3 Steps You Need To Make Tons Of Sales Online In 2010″.  Here’s what you’ll discover in the report and video:

Step 1. Find out where your prospects are. In other words, what forums do they go to, what blogs do they read, what products are they buying. What you’re after is making the best use of your time and money. Spend your time posting on forums that are related to your market where you can put a link to your opt-in page. Spend your money advertising where your prospects will see your offer.

The Internet is huge, but not everyone is a potential customer. Remember that all you need is a few thousand subscribers to make a really nice living. Don’t use a shotgun approach by putting your offer on unrelated sites. Targeting your prospects will be the best use of your time.

Step 2. Create a freebie that will entice your prospects to sign up for your list. It’s not hard to come up with a freebie, and you have several options, such as video, podcasts, special reports, or email courses. People are hit with offers to sign up for a list everywhere, and you have to make your offer so good that people will sign up for your list. So step 2 is to offer a freebie to get them on your list.

Step 3. Send emails to your list. Build trust and credibility by giving good information. Put offers in front of your prospects and offer a bonus if they buy from you. And mix it up a bit. Send out a video or podcast once in a while. Create a useful free report for your subscribers. Step 3 is all about keeping your subscribers interested in your content and getting them to spend money with you.

List building is probably the most important asset your business can have, and it all comes down to 3 easy steps. Marlon has created this free report and video that you can access right now. There is the option to buy some of his stuff, but there is enough information in this free information to make it a lot easier to build your list.

Quick Cash From New Subscribers

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.

Why A List Is Your Key To Long Term Profits

If you’ve been online for any length of time, you know how important it is to get traffic to your site. It’s also a fact that most of your visitors will not buy anything. If you can get 1 out of every 100 people to buy what you’re selling or recommending, you’re doing about average. So you need a constant supply of visitors to your site to generate a good income.

On the other hand, if instead of selling a product on your site, you offer a subscription to your list, you can usually get a much better conversion rate. Instead of 1 in 100 people subscribing, you could find that you get 5, 10 or more out of every 100 people to sign up for your list. This is really important if you’re promoting affiliate products. In the typical scenario, you send visitors to a presell page, they click on your link, and you’ll never see them again.

The disadvantage of getting subscribers instead of sales is that you aren’t making any money – yet. But the advantages can be huge. That’s why you’ll hear over and  over again how important it is to build a list. If you’re an affiliate, get them to sign up to your list BEFORE they get to the sales page. You can do this by making the sales page the one that comes up immediately after they enter their name and email address and hit submit. This way, you have a new subscriber and you’ve also sent them to the sales page – and you get the best of both worlds.

What happens when someone get to your site? If it’s a sales page, they either buy or leave, and usually they won’t come back. So you have to constantly drive traffic to your site. You either spend money on advertising or spend time creating and submitting content to drive traffic.

If on the other hand, if you concentrate on getting subscribers, even though the visitor has left the site, you get the opportunity to contact them over and over again. You can build your credibility and send out recommendations for products that you offer or that you can earn a commission from.

It’s been estimated that with a good list of targeted subscribers you can earn an average of one dollar per visitor per month. In other words, if you have one thousand subscribers and you send out offers, you can generally expect to generate one thousand dollars a month in revenue each and every month.

You still have to drive traffic to your site, but instead of making 1 sale out of every 100 visitors, you can offer a newsletter subscription instead, and have a group of people who you can market to. That’s why a list is so important. It’s a little work to write and send out messages each week, but it’s also work to generate traffic to your sales pages. In the end, a list can make you a lot more money.
