Converting Every Web Page into Subscriber-Snatchers
Whether you own one-page sales letter business models or large content-based websites, you should turn every webpage possible into a subscriber-snatcher for you. The good news is that not only is this method very effective, it is just as effortless when it comes to applying the concept. OK, it takes a little effort, but I keep reminding you that this is a business, unless you decide to keep it as just a hobby.
Since visitors can and do come and leave without even remembering your website in the future (sad, I know, but true), you can still follow up with your visitors easily by seeking their permission to opt-in to your mailing list through your web pages – on autopilot.
You can create a pop-up window to appear after your visitor tries to close the window or leaves your website, asking for your visitor’s name and email address so that you can follow up with him or her in the near future via subscribing to your mailing list for free. Offering a free ebook or report makes a good incentive for them to sign up. People just like free stuff!
This way, you can convert at least a portion of your visitors into subscribers, giving you a chance to follow up with them on other offers you may have in the future, while regularly providing good content in between.
Another option is to insert an opt-in form within the virtual real estate of your web pages. This method is effective, especially since many internet users now have pop-up killers installed in their web browsers, set to block any pop-up windows. If you have an opt-in form on virtually every page, and sometimes two on one page, you’re much more likely to gain a subscriber. If they aren’t interested in subscribing, they’ll just ignore those forms anyway.
To sum up, turning every webpage you own into a subscriber-snatcher with little effort can be responsible for huge list-building results.
Free Leads! No, Don’t Use Bulk Mail Lists
I’m sure you’ve seen those advertisements that read something like: “1,000,000 email addresses for $39.99”. These bulk mail companies even offer you these names on a CD shipped to your doorstep, ready to upload (or so they say).
Sure, having 1,000,000 subscribers is the best thing that could ever happen to any Internet Marketer, but unfortunately, it is a case of “too good to be true”.
What many newbies don’t know is that these bulk companies often harvest the email addresses using robots and other malwares via the Internet. That is how the 1,000,000 email addresses generally come about, whatever the selling price is.
Now, the really bad part is that if you purchase the so-called 1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a waste of money, you are risking being accused of spamming. It is no longer a surprise how you frequently receive spam emails on Viagra, OEM Software, get-rich-quick schemes, and things you do not even need in your inbox. That is possible because, of the 1,000,000 names, no one knows you or even asked to be subscribed to your mailing list, and you will be a “spammer”.
Even if the company is offering you “Double Opt-In” leads, they did not opt in to your list.
There are also companies which offer free leads, say 2,000 per week. They, too, should be considered unusuable by you. Virtually all autoresponders online do not allow you to upload such addresses. Sure, you can get an autoresponder script and handle it all yourself, but why?
First off, not all 1,000,000 email addresses are really viable because a portion of them can either be owned by the same person or business or are obsolete and no longer in use.
Secondly, your webhost can and will shut down your site if you are accused of spamming.
But most importantly, as a result of spamming, legislation has been enacted in many countries, such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the USA. Emailing to someone who has not requested your email can get you fined, put out of business, or even jailed. Even emailing to your own list requires certain protections nowadays, such as a way to unsubscribe and identification of the sender.
When you read such ads or see such sites again, tell yourself that it is a waste of time and money. Take the time and effort (there are those 2 words again!) to build your list yourself.
Unless you want to go to jail. Makes it kinda hard to run your business, though.
Building Your List with Articles
You can build your list simply by writing articles. Previously, I discussed using re-written, edited, and spruced-up Private Label Rights (PLR) content), so I won’t go into detail on that now.
Quite simply, you write and submit articles on your website’s area of interest to popular article directories where eZine publishers and readers are looking for information you can provide.
Focusing your viral marketing efforts on article writing can be rewarding if it’s done right. In a very real sense, you are actually proving your worth and demonstrating your expertise about your business through the articles you write. You are building up your reputation and trust.
So, how can this method build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as a bio box), you include some brief details about yourself and your business site, including its website address, or URL.
I strongly suggest that your resource box URL links to your site’s mailing list “capture” or “landing” page, where you can get your visitor’s name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost, perhaps by offering a free report or software program.
If your articles are found worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The logical result: viral marketing without further effort on your part!
You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article submitter sites such as Article City or Ezines.com and actually begin your article marketing odyssey today.
