*How to Build Your Opt.in List*
       - Lesson -
 Welcome to OptInMagic.net
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
What I will be doing is showing you a very simple method of building your OWN opt in list.

I used this system to get my first 1000 subscribers.
Of course, I didn't stop there and neither will
you!

Basically, if you understand how to get just
100 subscribers - you're ahead of many marketers
on the web. It's the system you're after - a way
of building a large contact group.

Don't let the numbers confuse you or hold you back.

All you need is a simple method of building a list.

This is the system I used to build mine.

Other lessons will follow in intervals over the
next few weeks that will contain all the information
you need to get started on building YOUR LIST.

First, let's start with some basic questions.

*What exactly is an opt in list?*

An opt in list is simply a list of people (subscribers)
who have opted in to your ezine or contact list. These
people have given you permission to contact them thru
e-mail.

*What is a targeted opt in list?*

A targeted opt in list is the same as above but you
are 'narrowing' or 'targeting' a certain group or
subject area with your list.  If you have a website
on golfing you would want a list of 'golfers or doctors!'
and not say 'Tibetan Monks' to market your products to.

*What do they mean by double opt in?*

Just that; you opt in twice. First, on the website
when you place your name and e-mail address in the
subscribe box. Second, when you click to confirm your
subscription in the link that has been sent to the e-mail
address you placed in the subscribe box.

Please Note, if you're operating in the USA -  it's
recommended that you have a double opt.in list
because of the New Spam Laws that came on the
books in 2004.

*What is the difference between an opt in
list and an ezine?*

An ezine is a more formal mailing, containing articles,
tips, advice, etc. An e-mail magazine mailed daily,
weekly, or monthly. An opt in list is less formal - still
offering tips, and advice but it's usually shorter and more
'time sensitive' i.e. mailed to announce a new product or
program launch.

In Reality, most ezines are a hybrid of the two!
An ezine owner will sometimes make a short
time sensitive mailing to his ezine subscribers
when a hot product or program is launched.

===========================================
Why is having an opt in list so important?
===========================================

Many reasons! - please keep reading!

Most marketers agree that it takes 5-7 follow-ups
to get most customers to buy your product or offer.
Therefore; creating an ezine or follow up list is very
important to your bottom line.

Most marketers also agree - one of the 'surest' ways
to earn an online income is through your own opt in or
email contact list.

How much - depends on the quality of your e-mails and
the quality of the relationship you have built up with
these leads.

Unless you already have an opt in list and
seen it's power - you will be very skeptical.

Actually, the contacts you make and keep in your
'list' system will BE YOUR BUSINESS.

Yes, this is a business! The sooner you approach it
as such ... the sooner you will reap the rewards.

Not only is it a business but it is perhaps the most
important feature of your website or your online
marketing. In other words IF you have a website or
online business - you MUST have your own Opt in
mailing list or Ezine.

 "...list building is basically about giving
people valuable information by e-mail"

This information must be of some value and use to
your subscribers. It must teach them some valuable
information like how to build an opt in list! :- )

The marketer, that's You, will earn money when you
occasionally endorse a new product or business
opportunity to your opt in list.

By using their opt in e-mail list, Marketers can create
a consistent source of high income by "cultivating"
their list. What do we mean by cultivating? Using your
opt in e-mail list to establish an ongoing relationship
with your subscribers by helping them to succeed.

Credibility is the key to cultivating your list. Unless
you can show what you've done, created or built - no
one is going to follow you!

Show Some Proof ! Add something about yourself!

It basically tells the story of these e-mails and my life!

Please don't get the wrong impression!

If you're looking for a 'guru' making zillions
of $$ - you're in the wrong place. I make a very good
living, but a zillion $$... :-0

I am just your average guy who found a system for building
an opt in list TO MAKE MONEY and I'm passing it
on to others who want to build theirs as well.
-------------------------------------------
To sum up: you (the marketer) should be sending,
by way of e-mail, valuable FREE information to your
opt in list. Over time your subscribers on the opt in
e-mail list or Ezine will get to know you and hopefully
grow to trust you.

Having built such trust, when the time comes for you
to endorse a product to your list, you can reasonably
expect to produce anywhere from a 2% to 20% response
rate.

This might not seem like much but with only a 1% response
rate - on a list of 1000 - means you could make 10 sales!

Obviously, the more times you communicate with your
subscribers - the higher your sales will be.

There are no shortcuts in this business. Once you understand that you will not be successful until you can teach others what they must do to be successful, then and only then will you succeed! This MUST be your bottom line, your credo.

YES ... this (showing others how)is when you will succeed and make money...Lots of it.

However, your first goal is to acquire an opt in list of
1,000 subscribers. It should be your main objective
if you want to make any real money online. A good responsive
opt in list may take months to build.

But  don't let these numbers fool or mislead you;  your
main goal is to build a "responsive" list. A list of 100
well targeted responsive subscribers is worth far more than
a list of 10,000 unresponsive subscribers.

But once you have an opt in list of highly responsive
subscribers - other options open up - like doing joint
ventures (deals) with other large list owners. If you
have a list of 1,000 or even 5,000 or 10,000 subscribers
--- other marketers will "WANT" to do business with you!

By completing the steps I will outline and implementing some
of the e-mail strategies you will be on your way to building
your own opt in list or ezine. Earning extra income or
a full-time income online can be well within your reach.

In ongoing lessons - I will be presenting numerous
strategies and programs of building your List.

Future lessons will follow containing information on
the different steps you need to take in order to build
your list or ezine.

REMEMBER: Do - Teach and - Duplicate!  In other words...Follow My Lead, I think you get the idea!

Thanks again for your time!

Look for another lesson soon.
