5 Steps To Build Your Own Subscriber
List
Anyone who owns an online
business must know about this: the subscriber list is the most important thing
to an Internet marketer. A list of subscribers is what you need to earn a
steady income and the bigger the list, the better it is.
Your list of
subscribers is the best source of selling your product to. You can do a lot of
things with your list - for example conducting a survey, get ideas for your
products, and the greatest reason, where you earn most of your money from.
What should you do if you don't have a subscriber list? Simply start
building one right away, and that is what you will learn through this article.
1. Where do you start? You need to choose the right autoresponder for
yourself. The more reputable paid autoresponders are
1ShoppingCart.com ,
aweber.com and
getresponse.com. Though
using a free autoresponder is not encouraged, you can get a descent one at
freeautobots.com. With
an autoresponder, you can collect the emails of your subscribers so that they
will be able to receive your newsletters, e-zines, mini course or promotion. I
personally use
1ShoppingCart.com
2. Opting in The most basic
requirement of an Internet Marketer is to have a website. You need a website so
you can include your autoresponder's opt-in form, and allow your prospects to
subscribe into your list. Every single visitor that comes to your website is
important and you can't afford to lose any of them. Try to offer an
irresistible free bonus to your visitors at a visible place on your website
with the condition that they must opt-into your list so that you are allowed to
send them the free products. It can be an e-book, a newsletter, an e-zine or
just a mini course. If you are selling an informational digital product like an
e-book, it is a good choice to offer few chapters of excerpts from your product
as a free gift.
3. Using a double opt-in for safety It is important
that you use an autoresponder with the double opt-in feature. Many of times if
you do not have this feature, you'll be easily shut down for "spamming". This
is a result from people who has forgotten that they subscribed to your
newsletter and reported that you have spammed, or someone else had inserted
another person's email into your opt-in box. Using a double opt-in ensures that
you get targeted subscribers as well, which means people who are interested in
receiving your newsletter.
4. Contacting your subscribers You must
continue in following up with your subscribers once they are in your list. Put
up an autoresponder series of newsletter, e-zine or mini course, when it is the
right time you can promote your product etc. This way, you make sure you are in
close relationship with your subscribers and that they can trust you more, and
trust can turn you more profits.
5. Personalize your email It is proven
again and again that personalized emails are the best way of approaching your
leads. If your messages can start up with "Dear Bob," "Dear Sam," not only can
it increase your credibility and response you can sound more personalized -
like speaking one on one and people like that.
To do this, you need to
have a good autoresponder which allows you to do it by using services such as
from 1ShoppingCart.com, which is the one I use.
There you
go with your own subscriber list, once you have completed all these 5 steps
you're ready to go get more and more subscribers and build your castle online.
