How to build a profitable opt in list in 3 easy steps
So, you've just heard that all these big gurus out there on the internet are making money with opt-in lists..and I'm talking big money, not just a few measly pennies per month. Now, you're probably saying to yourself: "Oh, this sounds easy. I can do it too. How hard can it be? I've already finished reading and learning all the tricks of the trade, and I can get started right away." Obviously, the next step you'd take would be to build your very own opt-in list, following the steps you've learned earlier and listening to what your "mentors" have to say, while they would "guide" you to become "rich and famous". Only that, after a few months of high hopes and maybe even a few hundreds/thousands dollars spent on maintaining your list, you will see very little to no results.
At this point, you'll wonder what you've done wrong. I mean, you've followed all the necessary steps, but still, you ain't making those big bucks you're waiting for. The thing is that you've simply dived in, choosing to talk about a topic you thought you knew lots about it and thought it can bring you truckloads of money and popularity. It's not enough to only write a few articles, send them to your opt-in list subscribers and hope they'll go to your site and buy one of your products or sign up for a service you're promoting. But don't worry, as I have decided to give you 3 easy steps to follow, in order to start seeing profits from all the efforts you've put in creating, maintaining and growing your list. With no further useless chatting, I present you the steps:
1. The first thing you should do when deciding to make money with an opt-in list, is to get your customers to trust you and the products/services you sell. Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because you've started a list and have a few hundred people subscribed to it, would make you a believable and respected seller. Take time and write articles about the topic/product/service you want to promote to your list, join some forums and ask for people's opinion about what you have to offer. While you're at this forums, try to get involved in discussions as often as possible, so you can show your potential customers that you know a thing or two about your products. Once you'll gain enough trust and respect from the others, you'll start seeing customers coming to your site, subscribing to your opt-in list and buying from you.
2. Next, you'll have to find a product or service that people really need it. Again, make sure you do a research about it first, and learn how it works and what benefits can bring you and especially to your customers. They will want one product which is simple to use, doesn't requires them to be rocket scientists and which will satisfy their needs. If you have such a product or service, then you're on your way of making some sales and some cash :). And don't forget to give your subscribers some promotional materials, so they can promote it if they liked it.
3. And the final step ( at least in this article you're reading ), would be to make friends with other opt-in lists owners. Try to find someone who already launched a list and had success with it. You may ask why? Because even though you might think you know everything and you don't need to learn anything new anymore, you still need a person who knows more than you and can give you a few more useful tips about building an opt-in list.
This people are experienced opt-in list owners and they'll be able to tell what it's ok to do and what's not, as they've gone through the same situations before and know how to deal with them, when they appear.
Conclusion: building an opt-in list is not a thing which will happen overnight and will make you rich instantly. There are many efforts and preparations to be made, as lists are built from zero and as the time goes by, you need to be sure you're maintaining it properly, to ensure quality content being delivered to its subscribers. I guess you wouldn't like your customers to start unsubscribing from your list, just because you weren't able to keep it organized and manageable, right?
