The following paragraphs summarize the work of opt-in list experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of opt-in lists. Heed their advice to avoid any opt-in list surprises.
You finally realize that you need a good opt-in list. After reading countless articles and sought expert advices and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advices to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.
In fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.
So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list doesn’t mean they are going to buy instantly.
Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.
1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.
Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you’re business is all about.
If you find yourself confused by what you’ve read to this point, don’t despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish.
The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.
2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.
While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.
3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.
Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.
Building a profitable opt-in list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.
Now you can understand why there’s a growing interest in opt-in list. When people start looking for more information about opt-in lists, you’ll be in a position to meet their needs.

Keeping your eye on the Big Picture
234
It’s so easy to get distracted on the internet, so when you are working on a project it’s important to stay focused and complete it.
We are constantly bombarded by sales messages every second of the day. Buy this. Do that. And quite often the next thing that comes around looks like the next big thing. It’s so easy to get distracted off what you were doing and never quite finish it.
The only real method of preventing this is self-discipline. Make it a rule to complete what you started before going on to the next thing. If you are working in a day job, then this is even more vital, since your time is even more precious. I have tons of projects I am working on at any one time, so I’m not just talking out my hat.
I have adwords, web site development. I also do real live sales. It’s a juggling act and sometimes it’s so easy to just flit about and apparently do nothing. The only time I manage to get something done, is when I say to myself – right – that’s it – I’m going to finish that now.
Keeping your eye on the big picture is key. What is your goal? The goal will align everything and all your activities should fall into place around it. It is like the guide to your daily life. When you wander off. Remember the goal you can get yourself on track again.
This is what I do and it helps me. So I hope it helps you too.

304
Some guidelines you should follow to make your marketing email stand out from bulk of junk mail.
email, email marketing, emarketing, junk mail
Email Marketing is the most cheapest and efficient way to promote products. However, under tons of junk mail, your marketing mail always be neglected and put into the wastebasket. To stand out from the junk mails, follow the suggestions below to increase the power of your email marketing.
1. No “image only” email, use text mail instead
First, email with image will put extra loading on the email server, which will make the processing time longer. Second, some email servers will mark those “image only” emails as junk mails or spam mails. This, of course, will lower the chance to deliver the mail to your customer.
2. No attachment
Similar to the above case, emails with attachment will put extra loading on the email server. Under the threat of virus, some email servers will filter out the email attachment. The customer may not get what you want to provide. Also, nowsaday, most users are very sensitive to those unknown email attachments and they will not take risk to open the attachment.
3. No fancy HTML email
HTML email can provide a feature rich interface. However, not all email clients support the HTML email well. Even the email clients claim they are support HTML email, different email clients performs differently. If the email clients cannot support well, how can your customer read the message? Moreover, many users set the email client as “Do not load image automatically”, your email will have many blank areas in this case.
4. Write down recipient’s name
This will raise the customers’ interest because they don’t want to skip any message that related to them.
5. Provide your sender address
Some email server will block those emails with invalid sender address, or emails’ sender address that not exists in the recipients’ address book. So don’t hide your name, let your customer knows who you are.

We’ve all heard it that in order to stay in business online you need to build a Targeted ‘Opt-In’ list.
Well… I truly have to agree with that simply because this is where you’ll always have a consistent source of FREE Targeted traffic(also referred to as ‘Sticky Traffic’) to promote your offers or related information to for years to come.
It just makes sense, wouldn’t you say?
And, we all know that ‘Email’ is where the $MONEY$ is truly made when it comes to marketing your business online because it gives You the ability to Follow-Up your potential customers until they decide to buy from You.
But, the problem that usually takes place is that people don’t know where to start when it comes to building there own targeted Opt-In list.
Now, for those of you that are new Internet marketing and don’t know what a ‘Opt-In’ list is, here’s a quick definition:
An ‘Opt-In’ list is simply a database of peoples Names and Email Addresses that have subscribed to an email list via a web form giving that list owner permission to send them periodic emails on the topic they are interested in.
Notice how I said, “giving that list owner permission to send them email”.
When they subscribe to your Opt-In list they are giving You permission to send them offers or related information on the topic they are interested in, this is known as ‘Permission Email Marketing’.
This is the ABSOLUTE safest form of email marketing where You won’t get accused of ‘SPAM’.
This is very important that You understand this from the beginning.
So, now that you have a clear idea in your mind of what an Opt-In list is and how it will benefit You and your business, I guess it’s time to share with you the simple ‘Ten Step Process’ that I have put together for you on How-To build your own targeted Opt-In list that you can email your offers to at any given time for $Profit$.
Step #1. Pick your Target market or Niche.
This is a very important step because this is where you need to figure out who your target market is going to be for the Product or Service your going to offer.
So, for example, if I was interested in selling a book related to Internet Marketing, well then, my target market would be Internet Marketing related.
Step #2. Can your Target market or Niche be reach online?
This step is where you need to do a little research on whether or not your particular target market can be reached online.
In order to do this you need to do some keyword research using keywords related to your target market.
You can do this by using the Overture keyword research tool located at the URL I’ve provided below.
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
Simply type in the keywords related to your target market in the form provided.
This will give you a detailed history of how many searches have been made in the last 30 days on the keywords related to your target market.
As a general rule, if your targeted keywords aren’t pulling in 15,000 or more searches per month, then this is a market I wouldn’t pursue simply because there isn’t much demand for it.
Step #3. Are they making money in this Niche?
This is where you need to do some research on your competition to see if people are spending any money in this Niche.
You can do this by going to Google at http://www.google.com and type in your targeted keywords related to your Niche in the form provided.
This will give you a list of search results.
Those results are your competition, but even more important, to the right you’ll notice little ads.
These are paid ads offered through Google Adwords.
This means that somebody is willing to pay to advertise and is paying attention to this particular Niche and must be making money if they’re willing to pay for advertising.
That’s good news for you.
Step #4. Use Forums to find your Target markets problems.
Forums are a great place to find out exactly what your potential customers TOP problems are by simply scanning there posts and looking for the most common threads.
By doing this you’ll be able to know right away what your target markets TOP problems are and how you can help solve there problem.
To find Forums related to your Niche simply visit Google http://www.google.com and type in your targeted keywords with ‘+ forums’ after your keyword.(ex. internet marketing + forums)
Step #5. What’s keeping them from getting what they want?
This is where you have to figure out whats keeping them from getting what they want in order to fix the problems they are dealing with, meaning, this is where you need to work with them to find a solution to there problems.
Whether its a Product they need or a Service of some sort.
Step #6. What can you offer them to solve there problems?
This is where the money is being spent.
Now, the only thing you need in order to receive your share of the revenue is a Product or Service that will solve your potential customers problem.
If you don’t have a Product or Service of your own don’t get discouraged.
I’m going to give you two resources where you can find products or services that You can become an affiliate for that are related to any Niche that will pay you a commission for every sale you make by simply referring your traffic to there website.
The two websites to visit are http://www.clickbank.com and http://www.associateprograms.com
Step #7. Set-Up a simple direct response mini-site.
Here is where you Set-Up your lead generating website with a Follow-Up System that your potential customers will come to and Opt-In to your list to start receiving offers or related information on the topic or problem they are having.
This is a very simple process to do and you can view my website as an example of how one would look.
http://www.internetwondersezine.com
If you don’t know how to build your own website you can always hire someone to do it for you by going to… http://www.elance.com
Step #8. Get an Auto-Responder account.
This is where you’ll be laying the foundation down for your list.
You MUST have an Auto-Responder account Set-Up before you make your mini-site go live because this is where your potential customers are going to come and submit there Name and Email Address so that you can start building a list to send your offers or related information to.
So, do not miss this important step.
Step #9. You need to figure out what ‘Bait’ to use.
What I mean by ‘Bait’ is… what are you going to offer them for FREE to get them to subscribe to your Opt-In list.
Here are some examples of what you can use as ‘Bait’: ebooks, special reports, mini-courses, coupons, etc.
These are the most common. It really depends on who you are targeting, so be creative.
Step #10. Reach out to your target market.
This is the part where you send traffic to your website in order to get subscribers.
I’m going to mention only two methods.
These methods are the most POWERFUL and for good reason, they work.
The first method is Writing Articles.
By Writing Articles your showing your target market that You are someone who knows how to help solve there problem and may have a possible solution for them.
This is the quickest way to build INSTANT credibility in your Niche.
The second method is to send targeted traffic to your mini-site through Pay-Per-Click search engines.

By using PPC search engines, it will get you infront of your target market Instantly.

4 Miscellaneous Email Marketing Advices

Email is one of the most personal advertising medium ever invented. Here are four of the many ways you can improve your email marketing results.
Spread the Word
Get others to sign up for your mailing lists with their consent. Spread the word about your mailing list through word of mouth. The beauty in this is that the list of emails will be self-screened and the database will only contain the people who are interested in your offers. Make sure you have their consent beforehand. You don’t want to risk losing reputation or SPAM penalties.
Persistence
Before the internet, they used to say it takes around 7.3 impacts to make an impression with an ad. Today I would guess it to be over twice as high with the internet present. Make sure you are reaching out to your clients at least once a month in emails or other medium. Just because you emailed a list of people and had little or no response does not necessarily mean your audience isn’t interested in your product. Experiment with different emails, get to know which email strategy works best, and keep using it to reach out to your audience.
They Want Useful Information
Emails should contain something that the customer wants. It shouldn’t be just a summary of your company or your resume. Focus on giving more than just what you sell. Specific content, messages, and other targeted information that interests your customers are good to include. For example, if you were selling makeup, you may want to include advice on how to apply the makeup or any makeup in general.
Make Sure Your Audience Reads Your Emails
Graphics, Flash animations, logos are often blocked by email filters. Although they look impressive on an email, they will often lower your impression statistics. I recommend using flat text with hyperlinks to your site. Once they get to your site, you can show them as many graphics as you want. Although some businesses have both a plain and a rich text edition of their email, for starters, stick to the plain text.
Navigate More Website Activity Through Email Newsletters To Visitors

When you own a business website, you may find if helpful to have a weekly or monthly newsletter full of useful information about your products.

When you own a business website, you may find if helpful to have a weekly or monthly newsletter full of useful information about your products. Newsletters can be a great way to navigate more website activity your way. Emailing weekly or monthly newsletters can be the best way to update or remind past visitors of your services or products. Extending special offers in those newsletters can generate more website traffic, purchases of services or products and possible referrals from the visitor’s friends and family. Customers and prospective customers are the backbone of your business. Without customers, you would have no business. Businesses know this and they know how important it is to maintain communication with their customers in order to build a stronger relationship. Good communication and strong relationships generate loyal customers that will keep coming back to you for more.
Email newsletters are a form of email marketing. This is a great marketing tool for small businesses to operate productive websites. It is a matter of communicating with your target audience. For example, Jane has visited your website looking for a birthday gift for her husband and she decides to opt-in and sign up for your business newsletter. Even if Jane decides not to make a purchase at that time, in a week or a month when she receives your newsletter with a special offer or discount, she may be encouraged to return to your site to make a purchase. If she is satisfied with her purchase, she may become a loyal customer and refer your services or products to her friends and family.
Why send newsletters via email instead of through the postal service? Customers prefer receiving emailed newsletters over regular postal mail because it is fast and convenient. In addition, there is never that extra piece of mail that ends up clogging your mailbox. Businesses like sending newsletters via email because it is easy, fast, and more affordable than regular postal mail. It is also less paper and ink used, and no postage or printing costs. Emailed newsletters are simply more economical and no trees have to die.
When building your website, it is best to offer the opt-in newsletter as a way to maintain communication with visitors and customers through the information they provide. You can also provide special discounts or promotions to encourage visitors to sign up for your website’s newsletter. Offering appealing incentives in the subject line of your emailed newsletters will encourage the recipient to read your newsletter right away instead of sending it straight to the trash bin. This type of marketing will help you to navigate more website activity and boost sales of services and products, not to mention all the recognition your website will receive.
Writing compelling newsletters can help build trust and win the loyalty of your target audience. By sending newsletters on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis, you can remind the recipients of your services how they can benefit from your business and why they need your service or product. This is also a great way to encourage them to buy your services or products with limited time offers, special discounts or extra bonuses. It would also be a good idea to include simple how-to’s in your newsletter. Many people enjoy reading how-to’s and learning how to do something new.
You can easily navigate more website activity through sending emailed newsletters to visitors. Newsletters are a great promotional way to build a stronger and better business through your website and for gaining loyal customers.
For those entrepreneurs who are skilled enough to create a newsletter on their own, this can be a very rewarding challenge. Moreover, it is a challenge that can bring you more website traffic and generate more customers that will eventually create more purchases. Alternatively, you can choose from many reputable businesses that specialize in creating email-able newsletters for you. Many small businesses find themselves too busy to keep up with the demands of creating newsletters and if it is in your budget, you may consider hiring the professionals to take care of it for you. It takes a load off you, but you still get a great newsletter. This way you can focus on promoting your website and in all areas of customer satisfaction.
Using Autoresponders In Your Direct Sales Business
722
Are you in a direct sales business and trying to figure out, like me, how to streamline your systems so that you can spend more of your precious business time working on income generating activities?
Well, I’m here to tell you that there are some simple steps you can take NOW to help your business for the long term and an Autoresponder is one of those ways! An autoresponder is an online program that takes a prewritten email message or series of messages that you’ve created…

Are you in a direct sales business and trying to figure out, like me, how to streamline your systems so that you can spend more of your precious business time working on income generating activities?
Well, I’m here to tell you that there are some simple steps you can take NOW to help your business for the long term and an Autoresponder is one of those ways! An autoresponder is an online program that takes a prewritten email message or series of messages that you’ve created and sends it out automatically when someone signs up either via email or a web form.
That sounds a whole lot more complicated than it really is. So let me give you examples that might work in various aspects of your direct sales business to help you see how easy this really is:
Lead follow up and tracking.
Do you advertise either online or offline? With an autoresponder you can put an email address into your advertisement and when one of your potential customers/recruits emails you to find out more about your company, they are automatically sent your initial packet of information instantly. Take it one step further and you can even put a different email address into each ad, making it easy to track which ads are producing results.
Lead Generation.
Do you have a coupon or e-book that you can give away to potential new customers or recruits? Set it up in your autoresponder and create a web form (all free with most systems) that you can place in your blog or on your website. Then just add a quick statement of “Request more information on my business today and receive a free gift” sending interested prospects to your autoresponder where the gift and the information are sent to them automatically!
Downline newsletters.
If you’ve built a team of distributors under you, you’ll want to stay in contact with them regularly. An autoresponder can do that easily, first with a “welcome to my team” email and then later as you broadcast your team newsletter through the list.
Help your new consultants get off to a great start in their new business with a series of email training messages geared toward those days when they are waiting for their starter kit. It’s a great way to keep the enthusiasm high during those first days!
Is there a specific area in your direct sales business that seems to generate the same questions from all the distributors in your group? Set up another series of emails specific to that business topic and set up your team members there as the questions come in.
Leadership communication.
As your direct sales business grows you’ll promote leaders from your team. Set up a series of emails congratulating them on their promotion and encouraging them in their new role as leader. Many people in direct sales have no idea what it means to lead a team of their own and you can set up a system to get them trained and equipped as well. and have it work for you continually.
Customer newsletters.
Stay in contact with your customers by using an autoresponder series just like you do with your downline. Have a welcome series for new customers to keep your name and information in front of them.
Customer classes.
Set up a series of emails that highlight a product of the month from your product line, or an email class on how to use some of your products.
Contests
Set up a series of contest emails for either your customer base or your downline. For instance, have a “scavenger hunt” through your catalog and use the autoresponder system to create the excitement over a series of days.
I’m guessing that most of you, unless you’re brand new to direct sales, have much of the information for many of the above ideas already in your computer somewhere. With an autoresponder it’s just a matter of transferring that information into the system where it can work for you, even when you’re off doing other things. Give it a try. Many autoresponders have a free trial offer so you can check out how they work before you take the plunge. but after just 6 months of using it with my own direct sales business, I can tell you it’s well worth every penny!

How do you actually make money with Internet Marketing, what steps to you take to deliver the results?
It is easy to get confused with Internet Marketing with everybody saying one thing or another is the Golden key to riches. But how do you actually get started or improve your results?
First you need to take stock of where you are and stop reading your email for a minute.
Ask yourself how many of the great ideas that you have read about have you actually implemented? Then ask yourself how many of those have actually made you money?
For most people the answer is not pretty. But be easy on yourself because there is hope. So where are you now?
For the beginners:
Do you have a Domain Name?
Do you have a Website?
Do you have an auto responder?
Intermediate:
What size is your list?
How is your auto responder setup?
How many products do you have or promote?
Advanced:
How responsive is your list?
How is your SEO?
What results are you getting from your advertising dollars?
What money are you making each month?
Now there are many other things that could go on this list, but has it got you thinking?
To improve on these things you need to look at how well you are executing the basics and how much time are you devoting to improving the things that support your internet empire and how much time do you spend chasing your tail or the latest super hot technique.
By the way, most of those super hot techniques rely on the basic stuff already being in place first to execute them properly.
So if things are not exactly where you would like them to be then you need to decide exactly in detail what you want to do about it and set aside some time to do it.
So how do you prioritize your time? Do what the professionals do and keep a diary. Now this may not sound very cool but it works and has worked for a lot of people for a very long time.
Sounds simple right, but are you willing to just do it?
Set aside time each day (or as you choose) to work on setting something up, maybe a new longer series of auto responder messages that encourages the person to take another look at your products or affiliate links.
Improve the sales copy on your website, submit some more articles to the article directories, and be active in forums related to your niche products.
Now all of these basic things will make you money. And when your start making money with the basics then you can start adding things one at a time and see if they improve your sales. Ask yourself do these new techniques suit your style, your products, your mindset, then try them.
So set some goals in your diary and write down some activities that you will do to help achieve those goals and spend more time working on your internet empire than reading emails that are making other people money.
When you are making money these things become more enjoyable and you feel inspired to take it do the next level.
So be kind to yourself, decide exactly what you want to do, decide when you are going to do it and then do it.
Enjoy your Internet Empire, you are doing it for you after all!
