1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just
launching your opt-in
list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put
many articles first
before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know
and have started and
used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge
about your customers
about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.
Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and
recommendations.
When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to
start your own opt-in
list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You
can ask them to join
your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to
your site so that
they may be able to see what you're business is all about.
The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the
consumers and subscribers
believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that
could be a good exchange
for their money. People are not going to buy something out of
your recommendation if
they don't know you.
2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although
it may not be your
forte, if you provide a service and product that you have
researched and learned about
well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and
money that you could
sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list
can use.
While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have
interest in, there
are not many people who have the same interest as you if you
decide to sell something
that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research
well and you would see
the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with
promotional material that they
could actually use and spread around.
3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically
beneficial especially
if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in
list. These are people
that have the experience in this venture and experience is still
the best teacher.
While there are many articles available for you in the internet
to use, there is
nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you
trust.
Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to
do and what not to do
because they have gone through it. While different situations
occur for different
people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are
many things to avoid
and these people will be able to tell you which ones.
Building a profitable opt-in list don't just happen overnight.
There are many
preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from
scratch, as your list
grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep
it organized and
manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that
your subscribers are
happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.
Have a great day!!
