Having an opt-in list is not easy, it is hardwork but with some relieving advantages too.

Having an opt-in list is not easy, it is hardwork but with some relieving advantages too.

1. Choose your target market or niche. Remember you are not the only one competing in the product or service you offer. You have to be sure who your audience is and what they need…this is such a key point that I don’t want you to miss it. Seth Godin teaches in his book “Meatball Sundae” that the New Media Marketing era demands that we have to reach out to our audience and ask them what they need and then provide it to them!

2. Be sure that you can reach your target audience online, and let’s face it most everyone these days has an email address, so communicating with them is not an issue.

3. Do not waste on time on typical advertising spending like the phone book….unless you make the ad a “direct response” draw offering a free report on something your target audience needs, and then direct them to your opt-in form on your website. Always monitor your spending, and make the most of it by this method
.
4. Forums and discussion boards are available for maximum use. Find your target market problems by giving your expertise in the different forums in your niche…..never ask for business until you’ve done this. Then direct them to your free offer and they can opt-in to your list!

5. Identify what is keeping your customers from getting what they want and help them get it. Try offering your viewers solving some of their problems, and send out the Top 10 answers to the questions received this week to the entire list!

6. Set up a simple direct response mini-site.
7. Get an auto-responder account. It is important for you to acquire and set this thing up because this is where your visitors will come.
8. Bait your potential customers through giveaways like: ebooks, special reports, mini courses and coupons, etc.
9. Reach out in any way you can to your target market.
10. Always be looking for ways to bring value to your list!

Opt-in building is a tedious work but with amazing results. The process of building it takes time and effort but persists. Always treat your list members as a goldmine so that you will offer them the best deals in the market, those with great quality and value. Doing all these, would earn you credibility and a profitable business.
