Building Subscriber Lists With Email Programs
Should you build a website and you want to monetize it to it’s full potential there is nothing better than AWeber to build a subscriber list, by offering an email “opt-in” to capture your audience for future notifications. While you could certainly add a simple static email form to the sidebar of your website, be aware that such a solicitation rarely generates an input. What you need is a form that pops up within seconds and makes an offer of some type to the visitor.
The offer could be of “specials” that will be sent to the subscriber before it is posted on the site, “secret” information that won’t be posted, or even a free eBook you created using a PDF Program.
Now, I should make it clear that gathering a subscriber list should be done in an honorable manner and only with the best intentions. If you use such a list to spam your subscribers every day with everything under the sun just to send out emails packed with affiliate links, you are likely to lose those subscribers very quickly when they opt out of your email list. There is a fine line between sharing valuable information and spamming people.
For those who have talked with me on the phone, met me in person, or have known me for most of my adult life, they understand that I’m not one for pushing things on people. I had never used an email capturing program because I never had any intention of “upselling” any of my other products to my customers. However, with the success of HomeIncome30 came a mass of email requests from customers who wanted to be updated on the new information, or a program I felt would benefit their Affiliate Marketing business.
I had to go with Aweber in order to keep hundreds of email addresses satisfied. I also have to admit that if I had installed Aweber on my HI30 sales page, I’d likely have all of the 2000 buyers emails, instead of the approximately 500 I currently have (plus more from those who never bought, but would have been offered to “opt-in” to my free information offer).
At $19/month for 500 email addresses, it’s a bargain. As of this writing, you can also test drive it for a month – for only $1.
A Little Secret
I’m going to share with you a small secret that will help you triple your profits on landing pages in three different ways. This technique works best with product reviews, but I’m sure you’ll find a way to make it work with your niche.
Capturing Customer Information
This technique works by capturing the customers data before you expose them to the purchase/pre-sell page of the product that you’re reviewing (or selling, if you create something). By far the easiest way to do this is to offer them a bonus download that is related to the niche (or product) you are promoting.
Choosing a Bonus Product
I’ll always try to choose something that relates as closely as possible to the main product. If you’re doing a review of AWeber and want to capture addresses then you might give away a free 10,000 opt-in mailing list (which of course would be useless to them without an email marketing product such as AWeber). That’s just an example but you get the idea.
Profiting (and isn’t that what you’re here to learn?)
So you now have the ability to profit 3 times from this scenario:
Main Product: If your review is good & your bonus product fits you’ll hopefully convert here easily.
Bonus Product: If you have time on your hands it’s possible to use the bonus product to generate profit. Write an ebook or guide on using AWeber (or whichever product you’re promoting) & give it away free ( of course, you should include affiliate links to any products you truly believe are deserving of your promoting). Include any complimentary items to the bonus (WordPress Themes, etc). This free download also acts as a second sales page, if the person decides not to buy the main product of your review immediately, they may read the bonus download and purchase through a link in it.
Subscriber List: You now have active members of your email list that you can provide newsletters, advice or more product reviews to them when you feel it is justified to do so. This email subscriber list is a valuable tool in your affiliate arsenal. Without an email list these people would be gone for good and you’d likely have little chance of sending them anything that would be useful to them again. More importantly, they’ll likely end up buying a garbage program through an affiliate link from an Internet Marketer who is using an email capture system like AWeber.
Remember, those that subscribe trust you. If you state that email information won’t be shared or sold, keep to your word and keep your lists confidential.
