A mutual consent list
An opt-in list, which is also referred to as a subscriber list, can be a crucial component in any site or Web-based company; and even in the case of a small venture such as a niche profit site, an opt-in list can make a world of difference while also putting some extra money in the owner’s pockets. In fact, opt-in lists are so important to the revenue-generating apparatus to an Internet-based business that e-commerce sites – big and small – seldom operate their businesses without one.
Opt-in lists allow companies to market their wares and websites via email communication and promotions, activities that are commonly referred to as email marketing, but there are guidelines and “Best Practices” that email marketers must adhere to. An opt-in list can be thought of as an agreement between a site owner (email marketer) and a subscriber, whereas the marketer consents to sending a newsletter from his/her company, and the subscriber consents to receiving such a newsletter.
Based on such consent the marketer can keep subscribers abreast of latest trends pertaining to the subscribers interests, as well as what is currently available on the marketer’s website, and whatever is coming next. And as a result of the mutual consent between the two parties, any email sent to subscribers is not considered spam mail. It is also based on this agreement between the two parties that a great number of promotional materials (such as catalogs, newsletters and such) sent to subscribers are read successfully. This is all made possible because the subscribers themselves have signed up for the material which obviously indicates that they do want to be sent those items.
List-building: A nuanced art
Building a list is crucial, but only a small percentage of Internet users actually subscribe to an opt-in list, since many people find promotional email annoying; but if you, as an email marketer, provide quality newsletters or promotional material, you will probably get very positive results in building up and growing your list. Another way you can achieve such results is by having good content on your website; because if site visitors like what they see and read on your website, then they surely would want more, and a newsletter would be a great way to entice them back to your site.
Other than a vehicle by which to market your products and services, an opt-in list can also be used to earn extra money, but not all lists can be used to accomplish this goal, however; because only those who have already built a successful list with a huge number of subscribers should attempt to maximize earnings directly. ultimately, the more subscribers you have, the more money you can make from your list through a variety of techniques, some of which are outlined in the following paragraphs.
Advertisements and affiliations
There are many corporations who will consider paying a fee to have their banners and ads promoted to a list with many subscribers; because since selling or renting out lists is generally not a good idea, many companies forego such a risk and, instead, place ads with lists that have a huge subscriber base. Your newsletter could be placed with many ads and each one could result in more money for your efforts.
Establishing affiliations with Web-based companies that have at least a semblance or similarity to what your site is about can also supportt your list management efforts, because these companies will provide links and brief descriptions of what they offer in the way of products and services. As a result, every click made on the “affiliate link” that directs or leads a subscriber from your list to their site, the company will pay you. This is known as P4P or pay for performance.
Making deals with other companies by asking for a small percentage of the sales done through your list can be an effective way to generate additional income and give your subscribers a variety of items to choose from; and every sale generated by customers that have come from your list and have gone there because of your newsletter, the other company will pay you a small percentage based on those sales. The more people who buy from them, the more money you make.
Consignments and ebooks
Consignments and ebooks have been very popular approaches to doing business on the Internet. Pertaining to consignments, you may get products from other sites on a consignment basis and sell them to your list via a newsletter you create just for that purpose or via your standard newsletter. By placing descriptions, articles and photos of the product(s) in your newsletter, there will be those who will buy from you, and when that happens you can order the specific product from that other site and sell it to the subscriber(s) who requested the item.
Selling or giving away e-books or a compilation of your articles to your list in the form of manuals and how-to articles is in great demand; and there are people who, for various reasons, will consider shelling out money to obtain knowledge about certain aspects, techniques and information about a variety of topics. With your existing subscribers trusting your expertise in a given area, an e-book could be offered and sold; or even used as an incentive.
Networking and credibility
Developing a network out of your list by getting people to invite their friends and relatives to your site and subscribe to your list is perhaps the simplest and most straightforward approach you can take to build and grow your list. It’s important to keep in mind that the larger your list is, the more people will be able to click on your product links and affiliate links which in turn will make your advertisement rates higher.
Subscribers are willing to pay for information if they know that it can be trusted and relied upon; but perhaps the more important aspect of their decision making is whether or not the entity providing the information is credible. Such credibility will go a long way to enhance your list-building prowess, and in helping you to simply use your list to get more and more people to subscribe, as well as browse your site. Lastly, you can earn a lot of money from your subscribers by making them your partners, and your list will be the bloodline of your growth and marketing success.
