7 Ways To Make Money Using Nothing More
Than Your List
An opt-in list can be quite crucial to
any site or internet based company. Even for a small venture such as a
niche profit site an opt-in list can make a world of difference and also
add some extra income for your pocket. Rarely would you see an
e-commerce site, big or small, that is without an opt-in list.
An
opt-in list allows for a company to market their wares and site via an
e-mail. With an opt-in list, a site and a subscriber consents to sending
and receiving a newsletter from your company. Through this, you can keep
your subscribers abreast of what is currently available in your site as
well as whatever is coming out.
And because there is mutual
consent between the two parties, any mail sent to the list is not
considered as spam mail. There is a great number of successfully read
promotional materials such as catalogs, newsletters and such that are
sent because the subscribers themselves have signed up for them,
meaning, they do want to be sent those items.
Building a list is
crucial, only a small percentage actually subscribes for an opt-in list.
Many people find promotional mails annoying but of you provide a good
newsletter or promotional material, you will see your list build up and
grow. You can also achieve this by having good content on your site. If
people like what they see and read on your site, then they surely would
want more. Newsletters would be a way to attract them back to your site.
A little teaser or appetizer if you will.
But other than
marketing your wares and your services, an opt-in list can also be used
to earn extra profit. Not all lists can be used though. It would be good
to first build a successful list with a huge number of subscribers. The
more subscribers you have, the more money you can get. Here are seven
ways to make money using nothing more than your list.
1) Place advertisements. There are many corporations who will be
willing to pay to put their banners and ads on a list with many
subscribers. Selling or renting out lists is not a good idea so rather
than doing that, many companies would just rather place ads with lists
that have a huge subscriber base. Your newsletter could be placed with
many ads and each one spells money.
2) Have affiliations with
other companies that have at least a semblance or relation to what your
site is about. Here other companies will provide links and brief
descriptions of what they offer, products and services. With every click
made on the link that directs or leads a subscriber from your list to
their site, the company will pay you. This P4P or pay for performance.
3) Make deals with other companies by asking for a small percentage of
sales done through your list. With every sale done by customers that
have come from your list and have gone there because of your newsletter,
the other company will pay you a small percentage of your sales. The
more people who buys from them, the more earnings you get.
4) You
may also get products from other sites on a consignment basis and sell
them to your list via your newsletter. Place descriptions, articles and
photos of the product in your newsletter. There will be those who will
buy from you and when that happens, you can order the product from the
other site and sell it to your buyer.
5) Sell e-books or a
compilation of your articles on your list. Manuals and how-to articles
are in great demand. Many people will be willing to shell out money to
gain knowledge about a certain topic and subject. With your existing
list trusting your expertise in that area, an e-book could be offered
and sold or used as an incentive.
6) Create a network out of your
list. Get people to invite more people to view your site and subscribe
to your list. The larger your list is, the more people will be able to
click on your links and affiliate links as well as make your
advertisement rates higher.
7) Subscribers are willing to pay
for information if they know that it can be trusted and relied upon. Use
your list to get more and more people to subscribe to you as well as
browse your site. Lastly, you can use your list to earn money by making
them your partners. Your list will be the bloodline of your growth and
increase.
