You Need to Build That Email List! 2 Profit Boosting Tips

You Need to Build That Email List! 2 Profit Boosting Tips

December 1st, 2009 @ MsMedia // No Comments

You’ve probably heard the following phrases more times than you can remember: “The Gold is in the list” and “You have to build a list”.

So true. But what is better than a real-life story to drive the point home? A story is always better than “boring” theory, right?

Listen close to this amazing example. Even the niche will probably surprise you. Here we go…

A smart marketer recently managed to get more than 2,600 subscribers paying him $9.95 a month in the Christian youth ministry niche.

If you want to study the opt in page (squeeze page) that is currently making the owner roughly $26,000 a month, visit TeenLifeMinistries.com

The whole foundation for this fabulous success story, has been the opt in list produced via the site just mentioned.

The opt in list consists of more than 10 times the number of paying subscribers.

The free subscribers can be drip-fed with the advantages of becoming a paid member over and over again.

Here are 2 great tips for you, if you want to take action and build your own email list fast:

1) You need to solve a problem or answer a question to get high opt in rates.

The reason why more than 30,000 Christian youth ministry workers have opted in, is that they were promised a solution to a very real problem.

Their problem is obvious and it’s this: Preparing for the youth gatherings take a lot of time.

No wonder the following is an attractive proposition:

“Pay just $9.95 a month and get all the preparation work done for you, including lesson outlines with class handouts and discussion guides!”

So now you know it: Solving people’s “time problems” can become a $26.000 a month business, because of the fact that not having enough time is one of today’s main challenges for an untold number of people out there.

In addition to solving people’s problems, you can expect to see very high opt in rates if you can answer a question for your prospect.

If a searcher is typing “Tulsa plumber” into the search box, this probably means he/she is looking for a plumber in Tulsa, but not sure which one to choose.

If you decide to put together a “Tulsa Plumbing Guide”, with advice on how to pick an affordable, quality plumber in Tulsa, you can be sure a lot of people will gladly give you their email address in exchange for that guide.

You can create such a guide whether you’re a Tulsa plumber or not.

Perhaps you’re not in the plumbing business at all, but just planning to sell these opt in leads to a Tulsa plumber, so that he can follow up with these prospects.

Now to the next tip for generating a high number of opt in’s for your email list.

2) Use Video to Get Sky High Opt In Rates

The use of video has exploded online, but the majority is still not taking advantage of what has been called “the most powerful online marketing tool”.

You should definitely consider getting an edge over your competition, by using video.

Here’s a creative way of using video to build your list: Simply create (or have someone else create for you) a “teaser video” and put it on your squeeze page.

A lot of smart marketers are already using this strategy to get phenomenal opt in rates.

Here’s the way it works:

The “teaser video” shows some kind of proof of the product’s (or service’s) effectiveness, or perhaps a description of what the visitor will get access to immediately after opting in.

Here’s an example for you:

Lately, a lot of ClickBank product creators have made videos showing screenshots of earnings achieved by using the strategies they promise to share with you, if you just go ahead and buy that eBook.

Think it works? You bet! That’s why they’re using it.

Showing testimonials from satisfied customers has also worked extremely well, as part of the squeeze page teaser video.

Even though there is a cost attached to producing such a video (unless you are able to do it yourself), here is the question you need to be asking yourself:

How much will it be worth to me if I can double, or even triple my current opt in rate by using video?

A doubling or tripling of your opt in rates is very realistic with video. It is that powerful.

I hope you got some valuable tips on building that list of yours. Now is the time to take action, if you have not started yet.

If you are already building your list, you should definitely consider adding a video to your squeeze page.

In other words: Why should you not use “the most powerful online marketing tool” available to you? Remember: Your smartest competitors are already using it with great success.
