3 Ways To Build A Profitable Opt In List Quickly and Easily

Building a profitable opt-in list doesn’t have to take a ton of time or skills. In this post, I wanted to share some approaches and ideas for quickly and easily building up a list that will appreciate your work.

1) Use a Quality Opt-In Offer - The first thing to do when building up your opt-in list is to make sure you offer something of quality in exchange for the email address. There is no point in giving your list something that’s not of value in exchange for their email address.

2) Use a CTA To Your Email List - Every blog post should have a CTA to your email list. This can be something like “Join my email list to get more tips” or “Join the email list to get notified when I publish more articles like this” or any variation that makes sense for the particular article. Just make sure you have an open CTA on every page of your blog and use it on every new blog post you publish.

3) Focus On A Niche You Can Promote Online - Building up a list shouldn’t be all that difficult. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to build up a list if you are trying to promote yourself in a way that is totally generic and doesn’t have any built in benefit for your email list. As a result, focus on building up an email list where you can get your offer or product out there and still make money from it online. If you are trying to promote something like “5 Ways To Make Money From Home” then your audience will probably be far too general and too large to focus on as an opt-in source. On the other hand, if you are focused on a niche like “10 Ways To Make Money Building iPhone Apps” then you have already limited in your market and can be more specific with the content you deliver to that audience.

4) Find A Way To Build Relationships - If you want to build an email list that is going to respond well to emails from you, then make sure you focus on building relationships with them. As a result, spend time interacting with them online through social media or forums. This might seem time consuming but these people are the ones who will respond the best to your emails so find ways to get connected with them online.

Conclusion

Building an email list can be a great way to market yourself online. It can also be a great way to monetize your blog efforts. Ultimately, anything that you have to offer in exchange for an email address is going to become more valuable over time as people actively respond and respond well to your emails. As a result, take the time to build up a good relationship with your opt-in list and make sure you offer them something of real value in exchange for their email address.
