Your email list can be your most powerful profit generating resource. – Amy Porterfield

It’s common knowledge that email marketing has become one of the best and fastest ways to make money online. Unfortunately, when it comes to building a responsive mailing list, it’s easy for business professionals to get stuck in a rut. Repeating the same tired message over and over on your website will only result in low or non-existent opt-in rates. By keeping your ideas, offerings, and approach fresh you will ensure new subscribers will keep coming, and better yet, staying. Here are several list building strategies that work successfully for a wide variety of professions and industries.

Offer new subscribers a bonus product, free gift or a discount on their next purchase when they subscribe.
Send new subscribers to a webpage where they can download a free guide, ebook or report related to the product they purchased.
Offer new subscribers free access to a member’s only website where they can get access to customer perks, additional information and special offers.
Offer a chance to win a prize, by holding a free contest or giveaway for subscribers only.

Having a healthy subscriber list will enable you to keep selling to your clients again and again, and keep your business growing.

Last Thursday’s blog post was about the do’s and don’ts of popup opt-in forms, so today I thought I’d follow up with three WordPress plugins you can consider if you are thinking of testing a popup opt-in form on our own site!

Pippity: Pippity is becoming a popular WordPress popup opt-in form plugin because of it versatility. This plugin supports all the main programs like Aweber, InfusionSoft, MadMimi, MailChimp, and more. Pricing is $49 for one website.

Popup Domination: Popup Domination is a popular WordPress popup opt-in form plugin that set itself apart from the pack with range of beautifully designed PopUps that are optimized for high opt-in conversion. This plugin also supports Aweber, iContact, Constant Contact, MailChimp, and others. Pricing is currently around $77.00.

WP Subscribers: This option also has a footer bar or header bar opt-In form option which is handy if you want to attract the visitor’s attention without being “in your face.” This plugin works with Aweber, GetResponse, Mailchimp, and other mailing list service providers. Pricing is $47 for installation on three WordPress sites.

By convincing readers and visitors to opt-in, you begin the necessary steps in the relationship building process with the goal of turning these one-time-visitors into potentially committed customers.

Tips for building an effective opt-in list

April 4, 2013 By Terry Green

Ask business owners today, and most will tell you one of the keys to their success for getting and keeping clients as well as generating more sales and leads is building a great opt-in list. It is so true that a solid opt-in list can be one of the most effective marketing tools around. It allows you to not only reach out to those who originally visited your site to find out more about your business, but also presents a direct way of communicating with your audience once they are on your mailing list. While some may brag about their large lists of hundreds of thousands, the majority of us are simply motivated to continue to build and effectively communicate with the list of targeted subscribers we already have. We are more interested in having a smaller more targeted list of subscribers who are really interested in who we are and what we do than we are in having large lists of people who really don’t care and are not interested in what we do or say. These tips should help you do just that.

Ezine Marketing 101 – Making the Magic Happen in your Ezine Marketing Campaigns

March 15, 2012 By Terry Green

Does sending out your ezine seem more like a chore than the fun adventure it should be? You know you need to do it, but if you dread it week after week, it can be having more of a negative effect than you think. In fact, it can be showing in your content and leaving your audience feeling your lack of energy and excitement. Now they might stay with you for a while, but it won’t be long before they totally tune out and eventually don’t even pay attention to your ezines when they arrive. They may even unsubscribe, and that’s certainly not the result you want from your ezine marketing efforts.

It’s time to find that magic again. It’s time to get re-energized about sending out your ezine and the opportunities it provides. It’s time to reconnect and realize all the potential you have with the amazing contact list you’ve spent years creating. Who’s ready? Let’s do this. [Read more…]
