Build A Profitable Opt In List

Finally after reading countless articles, sought expert advice, and have read many success stories of
people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you realize that you need to build a good opt-in list of
your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists
and have followed their advices to the T and you still were not able to make a profit.

In fact, you may be losing money. You may be hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses
incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still
losing profit. You�ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.

So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common
mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and
would earn you money. This certainly is not the case. Just because you wrote to people from the list does
not mean they are going to buy instantly. 

Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can revitalize
your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable
opt-in list.

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 establish a forum 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 your 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 an 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 sould 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 does not simply happen overnight. There are many preparations and much
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.
