4 Ways to Boost Your Profits By Building A Massive Email List
Many people just getting started in world wide web marketing don’t realize the critical importance of building a quality opt-in mailing list. They think it is enough to be making sales from their salespage. While it is good to make sales directly from your site, you’ll lose a massive percentage of your future customers if you fail to build an opt-in mailing list.
Having a list allows you to keep in touch with your site’s visitors and slowly build a relationship with them. If done properly, you can then convert a high percentage of otherwise lukewarm prospects into paying customers. So exactly what does it take to build a great opt-in list quickly and easily? Here are some useful tactics:
* Offer an incentive, when possible, for people to leave their email address. This is one of the ideal ways to get people to sign into your list. I like to offer a special report or free Internet marketing training. For optimum results, it is essential to give them something for signing into your list. This tip alone can easily double the number of sign-ups you’ve.
I see many people trying to build a list without offering any kind of incentive for signing up which can be a large mistake. Incentives are so easy to create that it only makes sense to offer one. Anything with a high-perceived value that you offer free will help boost signups significantly. I’ve test both ways of list building and I have to state that offering incentives will give you far better results.
* Include a clearly written privacy policy. In all likely-hood, the main reason people refuse to leave their contact information is because they are afraid of being spammed. This has been a huge problem on the Internet for years. No one likes spam. If people have any reason to suspect that you will share their email address with others they’ll usually not let you have it. Give them a rock solid guarantee that you’ll not share their email address with anyone. This will put to rest the worries of people wanting to avoid spam. At one point I did not have a clearly defined privacy policy, however, after I added one I saw a 61% increase in the number of opt-ins I was receiving. Easy things like this can make a massive difference.
* Create several tightly targeted lists. Few people realize the power of a targeted list option. It depends on what you’ve to offer on your site, but this is something that if it can be used will greatly affect your opt-in rate. One of the lists options could be for periodic updates, another could include “how to” tips that your prospect would find helpful, while another could be for a newsletter with ongoing information. No matter which option they choose, you’ll still harvest their email address.
Think about what your market might be the most interested in and offer that information or access to it on your site. A visitor might have little interest in your general announcements mailings but be keenly interested in your newsletter. If you don’t provided several options that person would have signed up for nothing. Two or three options are plenty. If your visitor has not found something that interests them in your two to three choices they are probably at the wrong page anyway.
* Make all your lists double opt-in. Double opt-in allows people to first sign up on your site, and then activate their subscription via a confirmation email. There are plenty of good reasons to have the double opt-in format. Number one, it will take away any chance of being labeled a spammer and secondly, you can show proof that people actually did request your emails.
Also, a double opt-in list will generally have higher quality readers, rather than those from a singe opt-in list. The reason for this is because since these subscribers are interested in your messages enough to reply to the confirmation email, they’re much more serious about what you offer. Therefore, they will be more responsive to what you have to offer when compared to those who half-heartedly sign up for your list without a lot of interest. Having a high quality list is completely critical to making substantial sales.
By putting the above tips into use you will be able to build a massive, high quality list in the shortest amount of time possible. I’ve personally tested all of these methods and they work marvelously. They’ll work for you too.
