So you have decided to add the popup window and squeeze page to your site. Then the worst happens, you believed you knew nearly everything about email marketing and you followed the advice given to you only to find out that you are not turning a profit.
You have worked on your list and have done what is possible to give them a fantastic value to get them to buy. After months have gone by you discover that you are loosing money after looking at your stats and sales.
You may think you are doing something wrong since you see others succeeding and you have not yet found the same success. Then you start to ask yourself whether you have picked the wrong topic of an unpopular topic. It is important to not get discouraged and question yourself. You can rejuvenate your list and ideas, following the below tips will help you in getting your list going.
~*~ Building Trust With Your List Subscribers Old And New
* First and foremost you must be able to build a foundation of trust with your readers and any possible new subscribers. When you are dealing with customers, one of the most important things is trust. When you build your list, your customers will want to know that you are an expert of the subject.
Join article directories and then write or outsource 30 or 40 articles on your topic and get them submitted. Do not submit them all at once, spread it out over several weeks. Use the author resource box and fill out your profile in full with links back to your site.
Next you’ll want to join up on related forums that are based on your topic and join the conversations and start offering advice. Let others know that you are here to help in any way you can. When you join a forum be sure to fill out your profile and include a signature file and remember to be kind to other forum members. Do not try to hide anything on forums, tell them your name and how old you are and the state you live in.
Ask others to provide reviews of your products and/or services and provide testimonials. Testimonials should be authentic and no editing should take place, also make sure you link to the persons website. If you have a good reputation on different forums, you can ask your fellow friends to provide a review of your products.
~*~ Find Solutions To Remedy Your Customer Issues
Help cure others problems by creating new products. If you have a great deal of knowledge about a topic, you should not run into trouble creating a product on the same topic. Searching through Google will reveal decent affiliate programs on your topic and will also give you the ability to research some great products on your topic.
* Make sure that you do your research, even if you already know about the topic you have chosen. To find further ideas on topics, you can visit places like Yahoo Answers to see what people want to know. If you have done the research your profits could pay you back 10 fold.
~*~ Making Friends With Other Opt-In List Owners
This would be a great deal helpful to you and your overall business, and especially so if the list owners have already launched a successful list. Experience is the best teacher and these list owners will already have plenty of it. You can ask the help of experienced list owners since they already know the ropes.
* Making friends with list owners can also be beneficial because you could develop a joint venture with them. A joint venture will allow you and the list owners to promote a product and split the commissions that are made. This will prove to be helpful when the list owners are using the same niches that you are using.
Building lists is not going to happen overnight, so have patiences. There is much research and time that needs to go into it and the prepartions need to be properly done. As your opt-in list grows make sure to maintain quality and treat your subscribers very well. Keep things neat and organized and if you run into trouble ask your list owner friends for help. Be sure your subscribers remain happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.
