Seven
Ways to Add 100 or More Subscribers To Your Ezine Daily
By Terry Dean
The best way to make money on the Internet is to
build your own opt-in list. This way you can build a relationship with
thousands of potential customers all over the world without spending more
than a couple hundred dollars a year for the Internet access and the list
management tools you use.
Once you have built a list, you can make money
through it by selling advertising, doing Joint Venture deals, listing your
affiliate programs, etc. There are dozens of ways to make money from your
opt-in list, once you learn how to build it.
We have spent the years of our Internet life coming
up with the best ways to build opt-in lists, and I am going to show you 7
ways to build your list quickly and easily.
1. Post It Prominently On Every Page Of Your Site.
This one should go without saying, but many opt-in
list owners still aren't doing it. You need to give people the opportunity
to subscribe to your list on every page of your site. The more people you
expose to your message, the more that will respond.
2. Add an Ebook Bonus for Subscribing
We first tested this over a year ago and it doubled
our daily subscribe rates from our site. It was proven years ago that your
sales rates will increase if you add a bonus to a product or service you
are selling.
Well, we have proven that more people will sign up
for a free newsletter if you also include a free bonus with that as well.
There are hundreds of free ebooks floating around the net which you can
use for free bonuses. Find one that relates to your site and use it to
increase to your number of subscribers.
3. Create a Signature File With Your Ezine
You should have your email software set to include a
signature file on every email message you send out. Your signature file
should include an ad for your opt-in list along with your free bonus ebook
for subscribers.
You will find it is easier to use an ad to get people
to subscribe to your ezine than it is to get them to purchase a product.
Then, once they are on your list, you build a relationship with them and
sell them your products.
4. Submit it to all of the Listings.
Continually find places to list your newsletter. For
example, pick out some of the main subscribe pages of your competitors and
find all of the sites linking to them. This can be done using the link
finder at
http://www.siteowner.com/
Then, go through and submit your site to the same
directories. Marty Foley also has a listing of some of the best places to
submit your ad at

5. Trade Ads with other Newsletters.
Once you have built up a list of at least a few
hundred subscribers, you can start trading ads with other publishers.
Create a recommended ezine section (instead of classifieds) and start
trading with ezine publishers in every single issue. You publish their ad
in your ezine and they publish your ad in their ezine.
If you consistently do this with every issue, your
newsletter is going to start growing exponentially. There are several
lists of ezines willing to trade ads out there, and we have one you can
use at

6. Do a Newsletter Joint Venture.
Joint Ventures are one of the best ways to build an
Internet business and opt-in list building is no exception. Find three to
five other ezine publishers who would like to trade with you and do this.
After someone subscribes to your ezine, have another
page there which asks them if they would like to subscribe to your
partner's ezines (give the names and a short description of each). Then,
have your JV partners follow the same strategy in return. If you were
receiving 20 subscribers a day from your site, five publishers teamed up
together could be doing 50 to 100 new subscribers a day.
7. Use a Pop-Up Ad for Collecting the List Members
I know a lot of people don't like popup boxes, but I
have found they will triple your subscription rates. Basically you can
pick up a Java script that will run a popup box on your site from the
BigNoseBird site for free.
You can see it working at

What, you don't see it? That's because you must have
been to my site before. This script has a special advantage. It doesn't
keep bothering your visitor. It only works and pops up to the visitor the
first time they visit the site.
