Seven Ways to
Add 100 or More Subscribers To Your Ezine Daily
The best way to make money on
the Internet is to build your own opt-in list. This way you can build a
relationship with thousands of potential customers all over the world without
spending more than a couple hundred dollars a year for the Internet access and
the list management tools you use.
Once you have built a list,
you can make money through it by selling advertising, doing Joint Venture deals,
listing your affiliate programs, etc. There are dozens of ways to make money
from your opt-in list, once you learn how to build it.
We have spent the years of
our Internet life coming up with the best ways to build opt-in lists, and I am
going to show you 7 ways to build your list quickly and easily.
1. Post It Prominently On
Every Page Of Your Site.
This one should go without
saying, but many opt-in list owners still aren't doing it. You need to give
people the opportunity to subscribe to your list on every page of your site. The
more people you expose to your message, the more that will respond.
2. Add an Ebook Bonus for
Subscribing
We first tested this over a
year ago and it doubled our daily subscribe rates from our site. It was proven
years ago that your sales rates will increase if you add a bonus to a product or
service you are selling.
Well, we have proven that
more people will sign up for a free newsletter if you also include a free bonus
with that as well. There are hundreds of free ebooks floating around the net
which you can use for free bonuses. Find one that relates to your site and use
it to increase to your number of subscribers.
3. Create a Signature File
With Your Ezine
You should have your email
software set to include a signature file on every email message you send out.
Your signature file should include an ad for your opt-in list along with your
free bonus ebook for subscribers.
You will find it is easier to
use an ad to get people to subscribe to your ezine than it is to get them to
purchase a product. Then, once they are on your list, you build a relationship
with them and sell them your products.
4. Submit it to all of the
Listings.
Continually find places to
list your newsletter. For example, pick out some of the main subscribe pages of
your competitors and find all of the sites linking to them.
Then, go through and submit
your site to the same directories.
5. Trade Ads with other
Newsletters.
Once you have built up a list
of at least a few hundred subscribers, you can start trading ads with other
publishers. Create a recommended ezine section (instead of classifieds) and
start trading with ezine publishers in every single issue. You publish their ad
in your ezine and they publish your ad in their ezine.
If you consistently do this
with every issue, your newsletter is going to start growing exponentially. There
are several lists of ezines willing to trade ads out there.
6. Do a Newsletter Joint
Venture.
Joint Ventures are one of the
best ways to build an Internet business and opt-in list building is no
exception. Find three to five other ezine publishers who would like to trade
with you and do this.
After someone subscribes to
your ezine, have another page there which asks them if they would like to
subscribe to your partner's ezines (give the names and a short description of
each). Then, have your JV partners follow the same strategy in return. If you
were receiving 20 subscribers a day from your site, five publishers teamed up
together could be doing 50 to 100 new subscribers a day.
7. Use a Pop-Up Ad for
Collecting the List Members
I know a lot of people don't
like popup boxes, but I have found they will triple your subscription rates.
Basically you can pick up a Java script that will run a popup box on your site
from the BigNoseBird site for free.
You can create UNLIMITED
Pop-Up Ads using the pop-up generator software which comes with your Autoresponder
PRO account!
This script has a special
advantage. It doesn't keep bothering your visitor. It only works and pops up to
the visitor the first time they visit the site.
