It is critical that to succeed in any business you have your own opt-in email list. Building a highly responsive, highly targeted opt-in subscriber list will be the one thing that can catapult you from obscurity to fame and fortune and making a full-time living online.

Throughout the years, those who know me have learned there’s a number of methods to building your list. One such method was to offer them something of value for free in return for giving you permission to include them in your opt-in email list.

You also learned that you should not offer any incentives that has no value or can be obtained free of charge online.

Here are some of the Bonuses, Incentives and strategies that’s worked very well for our company mailing list building -
From Zero in Dec 1998 to over 2.2 Million Subscribers by 2007:

  • - Key information and reports that’ll benefit subscribers immediately in a particular niche.

  • - Building a list of consumers anticipating a big event we’re about to launch in the future.

  • - Closed door sales and discounts we’re about to offer in the future.

  • - Offering credits ($) as a signup bonus.

  • - Offering free trial advertising in return for their subscription.

  • - Giving away popular audio recordings and seminar recordings from experts in the niche.

  • - Building a list around a contest / sweepstake premise.

If you do offer them a gift to subscribe it must be something of perceived value. If you offered them a free ebook that they can get from any site on the net, why would they bother? But if you offered them a free gift that had a high perceived value then they would be climbing over themselves to subscribe to your list.

So what do you have of high value that you can offer to your visitors?
