Stop me if you've heard this one before... Having endlessly sought expert advice, read countless articles and listened to numerous stories about people who've built unimaginable wealth on the Internet using their vast opt-in lists, you finally decide it's time to have one of your own. Now under the illusion you know everything, you follow all the advice to the Tee. And you fail to make even a single penny. In fact, you're losing money. Fast. Being rather lazy, you hired writers to help out with your articles, and when that didn't work your month's budget on a doomed Pay-Per-Click campaign. Perhaps your list even got quite big. But only a tiny percentage actually converts to sales. However you look at it, your quest to make even a tiny profit, has failed. After a few months of scrutinising your statistics and sales figures, you come to the conclusion that your dreams of Internet wealthbuilding are doomed. You wonder what wrong. Why have others succeeded where you have failed? Perhaps you were too hasty, diving straight in like that. Maybe the product is rubbish, after all. Or maybe it's you - you're just not cut out for this... Have similar thoughts ever crossed your mind? Before you get any more disheartened, remember that just because you emailed people on your list does not mean they'll buy instantly. Or, put it another way, HAVE PATIENCE! And, if you've already started an opt-in list and think you failed, I strongly urge you to follow the following advice, too. Same thing applies if you're just starting out. The advice comes in the form of three quick and easy steps: 1) Make sure your product or service is one that people really need. And learn all about your product. Many people forget this vital element of their affiliate business. Do they really think their subscribers are going to buy something they haven't bothered to learn about themselves? Not very likely. Your knowledge and belief about your product, or lack of it, is transferred onto your customers. Time spent researching your product thoroughly is time spent wisely. 2) Join forums. Providing expert advice and recommendations will build an aura of trust around you. You could then build a base around other forum users, inviting them to join your opt-in list. Friends make good customers. Placing a link to your site on your forum posts will enable them to see what your business is all about. They'll begin to believe in you and your products. Writing and submitting articles and posting blogs will further increase your credibility as well as building more potential subscribers and customers. 3) Get a mentor. Forums are great for this too - if you can find someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list, they will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do, as they've gone through it themselves. These people will be able to point out the many pitfalls and mistakes to avoid. There is nothing like getting it first hand. Learn from the mistakes of others! Building a profitable opt-in list doesn't happen overnight. It takes great preparation and effort. Opt-in lists have to be built from scratch and, once built, take some maintenance. Keep yours organized and manageable. But use it to Keep your subscribers happy and they'll be willing to buy from you time and time again. Build your list, build Internet wealth!
