I'm sure you've heard building a list is essential for online success. But it takes more than building a big list of subscribers. In order to make your list building activities profitable, you need a responsive list.
Let me explain...
It makes no sense to build a list if you can't make any money from your efforts. And to make money from your list, they actually need to DO something. This normally means they need to buy your product or take you up on an affiliate recommendation. So, your list needs to be responsive if you are going to make any money. Your opt-in subscribers need to RESPOND to your offers.
Here are 7 tip to help your build a responsive list...
Tip 1: Create a squeeze page with a high conversion rate.
By this I mean, you need to have a page where the only thing to do is sign up for your list. Nothing else, no other distractions. Now getting it to convert well (I have some as high as 70%) you need to test and track your squeeze page. Keep testing a tweaking until you get the conversion rate you want.
I don't build squeeze pages on a website like most people do. I use the Squeeze Page Express option within This is only one of the ways I use ACS, but it allows me to easily build squeeze pages using a proven formula, track the conversion rate and split test different versions of the page to get the best rate possible.
Tip 2: Use a professional autoresponder service.
Building a list is only part of the equation. You need to be able to get your emails delivered to the subscribers on your list. SPAM filters and other measures have made this harder. So, you definitely want the power of a big, well respected company behind you. Even if you do everything right, it is still nice to know you have a company behind you.
Tip 3: Send targeted traffic to your squeeze pages.
Just getting people on your squeeze page is not enough. You need to get the people who want what you are providing on your squeeze page. If you want to see your conversion rates skyrocket, offer something for joining your list that appeals to a very specific problem, and then get your squeeze page in front of the people who have this problem.
Tip 4:
Only send your subscribers valuable information that's on-topic
Your subscribers joined your list because they want something from your, normally a solution to a problem. Give it to them. Don't take the fact they are on your list as a sign you can send them offer after offer on any type of product under the sun.
Tip 5: Create a strong subject lines to get your messages opened.
If no one opens your email, you can't build a relationship with your list and no one can respond to your offer. This means no money in the bank. Creating great subject lines is easier than you think, especially when you use the swipe file of another famous marketer.
Tip 6: Make sure your email messages get read.
So, you've got them to open the email. Now you need to make sure they actually read it. In today's world, time is precious. So you must make your emails compelling and easy to read. Here is a resource to help you write emails people are begging to read:
Tip 7: Understand the overall objective of list building.
You are not building a list just to build a list. Your list is an asset to your online business. It is valuable and it can make you a lot of money if done correctly. So, take the time to build a list of quality subscribers and respect the relationship you have with them.
Then they will be more likely to respond to your offers and DO something that leads to more money in the bank.
So, what are you waiting for? Go out there and build a responsive list of opt-ion subscribers!
