How to Pull In As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold With Opt-In Lists By Jimmy D. Brown The fortune is in the list. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that said, well, I'd already have a fortune! :-) However "broken-recordish" it may sound, it is a truthful statement. The fortune REALLY IS in the list. Fact is, if you possess the knowledge of how to grow and profit from opt-in lists, you can pretty much write your own ticket. And, if you'll read the remainder of this article, I'll pass that knowledge right on to ya. It comes down to getting folks to do four things... 1. REQUEST. First things first, you need to convince people to "opt-in" to your list. That is, get them to join your list of their own free will. Usually, this involves giving away a mini-course, report or newsletter from your web site. All you need is.. - An Attention Grabbing Title. (I could have chosen "4 Keys to Successful Email Promotions" for this article, but is that as attention-grabbing as "How to Pull in As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold From Opt-In Lists"?) - A Handful of Bulleted Benefits. (A short list of 4-6 desirable things subscribers will learn if they join your list. Think "what's in it for me?") - An Opt-In Submission Form. (Your autoresponder system will provide this for you.) NOTE: The BEST way to get folks to join is to embed the above mentioned items DIRECTLY in the most prominent place you have your site visitors' attention. Usually this is 3-5 paragraphs into your sales letter or 1/3 of the way into an ezine article. 2. RECEIVE. After visitors to your site have "requested" information by joining your list, it's critical that your emails be delivered successfully to their inbox. With all of the filters in place (among other hazards) this can be quite a chore. One thing you'll want to do for certain is check your SPAM rating to make certain it's in an acceptable range. Again, most of the better autoresponder services offer this feature for you. You can also do things like... - Get your subscribers to "approve" mailings from you. - Authenticate yourself as a legitimate mailer when you receive a "response challenge" from protection services such as Spam Arrest. - Use alternative formats of your email messages such as "downloadable email messages" in PDF format. 3. READ. When your emails successfully arrive at the inboxes of your subscribers, another task awaits - getting them to actually open your message and read it. This is going to depend upon your "subject line". It is paramount that your subject line be intriguing enough to convince your readers to stop what they are doing and take a look inside. One way to get this done is to create a swipe file of email subject lines that have convinced YOU to read the messages and then modify those subject lines for your own use. Ex. I received an email that had the subject line of "This affiliate tip is almost too easy" that caught my attention and forced me to read the associated message. This subject line could easily be used in a variety of different niches... - This dieting tip is almost too easy - This time management tip is almost too easy - This marriage saving tip is almost too easy 4. RESPOND. When you have convinced your subscribers to open your email message and read its contents, the only remaining "task" is to get them to respond. You want them to take action. Click a link. Go somewhere. Ultimately, spend money with you. The only way you'll be able to do this is follow a simple catch phrase I've been teaching for years: "useful, but incomplete". It simply means this: your messages must provide content that is useful to your subscribers (otherwise, they'll unsubscribe faster than you can say "oops"!), but is also "incomplete" in that there is some additional offer that could enhance or maximize that content. Ex. You might write an article that shares "7 Ways to Profit With Autoresponders" to send to your list. That's "useful" information to those who are interested in that particular topic. It's also "incomplete" because they need an autoresponder service to put the information into action. That's your cue to promote your recommended autoresponder service. See how it works? If you want to pad your wallet with profits by using opt-in lists, this is how you do it: Get people to do these four things - Request - Receive - Read - Respond This is a system that has never failed, will never fail. I've used it. Others have used it. Now, it's your turn to use it. ------------------------------ For the first time, ever, Jimmy D. Brown is sharing his simple, yet powerful 6-step system that will show you how to grow your list, provide your readers with the content they crave and start making more money than you ever expected from your list.

Copyright © Jamie Skinner http://www.AutomatedFortunes.comI recently discovered Squidoo as a great place to get free traffic and promote my business at the same time. It's free and easy to build a lens. (Squidoo lingo for web page) It's also a great tool to bring all of your web 2.0 marketing into one place such as YouTube, MyPlace, Blogs, RSS Feeds, etc. Plus they are monetized with Adwords and your choice of many other modules such as ebay, amazon, cafepress, super store, motley fool, etc. Here are a few of the pages I've created - both business and personal. Here's one I set up on the Top Ten Millionaire Books. One of the many cool things about squidoo is that they have a page rank of 6 which creates high-powered one way links back to your main websites which Google loves.... many squidoo pages are ranking on the first or second pages on their specific keyword search. So, I invite you to use this powerful free tool called Squidoo!By the way, here is a free audio interview from my Squidoo Mentor Bob The Teacher which will really help you get a quick start on building lenses the right way.

Jim Rohn is one of my favorite speakers on personal development. Here are some classic and very valuable thoughts from Jim that I wanted to share with you today. Personal Developmentby Jim Rohn To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract. We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are. The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit. Pity the man who inherits a million dollars and who isn't a millionaire. Here's what would be pitiful: If your income grew and you didn't. The most important question to ask on the job is not "What am I getting?" The most important question to ask on the job is "What am I becoming?" It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development. After you become a millionaire, you can give all of your money away because what's important is not the million dollars; what's important is the person you have become in the process of becoming a millionaire. Income seldom exceeds personal development. What you become directly influences what you get. These quotes are by Jim Rohn, America's Foremost Business Philosopher.

Copyright © Jamie Skinner http://www.AutomatedFortunes.comOne of the advantages of online affiliate marketing programs is that your visitors are already online and are willing to look and shop online for many items. Whether through necessity or with discretionary income, online shopping is gaining ground each year and more people are spending more money online than ever before. As online security continues to improve using credit card numbers or checking account information is being more freely entered and in order to tap the online market, internet sellers need to have what their visitors are looking for. It is unlikely that any one site will be able to offer everything for everybody, but by using online affiliate marketing, you can probably come pretty close to that goal. If you only carry one item on your own website, visitors will probably not come back if they are not specifically looking for that one item. Additionally, if it is not a disposable item, repeat sales may be few and far between. Instead of adding products to your mix, you can become affiliated with other online stores to offer a wider variety of products and services without the expense of carrying them yourself. It is considered good business to have any affiliates you sign up with be relevant to your core business to entice your visitors to look at the additional offerings. If they are coming to your site for a specific type of product, seeing similar offerings gives more of an incentive to click on the ads for the other sites. Not only will it give your visitors something else to consider, if they end up buying something from the other sites, you receive a sales commission on the purchase, which will improve your bottom line. Different online affiliate marketing plans exist that offer a different type of payout, but commissioned sales lead the pack for profitable offerings. Some sites will pay per thousand impressions, meaning every time your page with their ad on it is loaded, you get credit for an impression. Others offer a small payment when someone clicks on the ad and visits their page and still others will pay you if your visitor goes to their site and fills in specific information. The majority, however, offer the incentive of giving you a percent of the total sale, not including tax and shipping, to give you a reason to get more visitors to your site. The benefit of online affiliate marketing to the sites is that they get advertising that they only have to pay for if it results in a sale. This performance-based advertising is unique to the internet as costs to put an ad on the site is minimal, and since most website owners are promoting their site anyway, adding another graphic or text link can be done virtually for free.
