Have A Happy AND Profitable List Of Subscribers...

When you first start building a list of subscribers in any niche as an internet marketer, it is very easy to fall into the freebie seeker trap and give away too much free information which in turn creates a list of people who expect you to provide for free, so when it comes to selling to them it is almost impossible and you will be wasting your time.

But on the flip side to this there is also the trap of over promoting to your list and annoying the hell out of them, you do not want to upset your subscribers by pitching them every single day with a new product and not being any help to them at all.

The key to email marketing is finding a balance between the two and whilst you are providing plenty for your subscribers you also leave the door open for products sales and profits.

Check out these tips to help you make a happy list which stays profitable for you:

 

List Building Tip 1:

Fully research your market and learn about them, if you are not familiar with what they want then not only will you not be able to connect with them and help but you will not know exactly what they are looking for and how you can make a profit. Your number one aim as an e-mail marketing apprentice, should be to fully know and understand the wants, needs and desires of your target market.

Spend some time in your niche forums and message boards, conversing on Twitter with people in your market. In essence, you should become one of them to truly understand. And if that means getting knee deep in information, research and facts that you would normally have no desire for, then so be it.

But that is the price you should pay if you want to profit in markets you aren't well versed on. Alternatively, you could follow a niche/market/topic that you do know about and have fun, but that might not be very profitable for you.

Rapid List Profit Formula 

If you haven't yet heard of Chris Rempel and his Rapid List Profit Formula, then I can be confident in saying you have either been under a rock these past two months, or you are just starting in the marketing world today.

Following on from Chris' massive success with the Conduit Method, he has continued to follow up with more products and one being a bible for e-mail marketing and how to do it in a quick and successful fashion... turning profits hand over fist.

Priced at a reasonable point for all levels, from newbie to advanced, this report will guide you to e-mail marketing success. No guide, report or e-book is going to do it for you. But this will SHOW you the what and how. Your next job is simply to take action on the information contained.

List Building Tip 2:

Survey your list regularly, trends change and you could soon find that your ships are sailing in completely different directions if you are not in direct communication with your list, so create mail that elicits a reaction from your subscribers, not in terms of sales specifically but surveys that help you to learn about them.

Once you have even a short list of subscribers, you can ask them questions, this will then serve two purposes. You get to learn more about your target market, and you can show your subscribers that you have a real interest in helping them get what they want or solve a problem for them.

You can do this instantly on your thank you page after subscription, a short survey engages your new subscriber and "trains" them to take action when you have something to say, which sets the tone for your future communication.

 

List Building Tip 3:

Think about your ethics, choose your promotional products wisely. Your list will be buying on your recommendation so you do not want to be promoting products that do not deliver.

Choosing to promote each and every product you can get an affiliate link for will only serve to ruin your reputation before you even get started. Find products that are directly related to helping your subscribers with a problem or want that they have and you will build trust and respect with your list AND be more profitable because you will be feeding your hungry crowd with the food they are looking for.

People looking to lose weight aren't looking to be cross-sold on body building pills, and acne sufferers aren't looking to be sold on other facial products. Target the need of each target market and serve them with what they want.

Sell what your people are buying and you will profit!

Inside The List 

If there is one product that I would say can really knock your socks of in the e-mail marketing arena, it is Inside The List by Kyle and Carson, the owners of the famous Wealthy Affiliate University for internet marketers.

Travis Sago said:

"Take inside the list and an autoresponder and you have a powerful business in a box"

Just with this one product, a guy like Travis is claiming big things, because it is that strong on content for list building and e-mail marketing for profits.

Want to build a profitable list of subscribers whilst providing value, building trust and credibility and being happy knowing that you are helping people get what they want?

Inside the list is for you.

List Building Tip 4:

Give plenty of helpful and useful content and information to your subscribers, but make sure you do not get hung up on sending out mail that doesn't help you in some way, this is a business first and foremost and you are looking to make a profit, so be helpful but do not allow yourself to become a slave to your list.

Internet marketing is a constant balancing act of helping and profits, without balance you could soon find yourself being chained to helping your list without a profit or you could be viewed as too desperate for sales if you promote too often to your list.

DO NOT be afraid to market, your subscribers will talk with their fingers if you are over-zealous with your promotions, so keep a good balance and learn as you go along.

E-mail marketing is marketing all the same, so do your research, provide value and when choosing your products to promote, be sure to tie it in with what your target market is looking for. If they subscribe for one thing, you can be fairly sure that they have an interest in what is on offer around the same subject.

List Building Tip 5:

Give them something to get then to opt in to your list and to keep them opening your emails. There are many things you can choose to give but make sure you give them something that has value to them. It can be a report, guide, tip sheet or even software.

The thing is a lot of the stuff being given to lists right now are reports. The majority to them are worthless. They are either copies of a report that is being passed around or a rewritten PLR report with minor changes. Why because it all takes time. We often don't have a lot of free time to put into a quality report.

There are times that we get so busy it would be nice to have something already to go. I found a place where you can get free software you can give away. This also has another benefit. You can rebrand the software with your affiliate ID. This gives you software you can give away for free and you get the possibility of affiliate income at the same time.

You can also download the software and use it yourself. It's worth checking out. I have been a member there for almost a year. It's set up really well. They have videos that show you how to rebrand the software and how to use it too. I think they are up to 12 different software products. You can take one or take them all.
