Your Attitude Is Everything When Building An Opt In Email List
I’m sure you want to have a business that lasts for the long haul. There’s a lot involved in running a business, but you want to run it to make money day in and day out maximizing your profits while minimizing your work load. One way you can to this for the success of your business is by building an opt in email list. You can talk to just about anyone who is doing well online and they will tell you that building an opt in email list and monetizing it effectively often becomes their bread and butter.
So now you’re all pumped up and ready to conquer the world with your new found knowledge. You start to apply all the techniques to build that powerful list but… after all the time you’ve put in to make it work… it doesn’t. You’ve built it up, but it still doesn’t make you any money like everybody says it should.
In fact you might even be losing money, because of all the expenses to building an opt in email list and maintain that list is more than the profits that you bring in from it.
You sit there and think to yourself that everybody says that their money is in the list. Well you might angrily decide that it’s just for those really successful Internet marketers, but you have to settle for failure of building an opt in email lists that profits and you just give it up and leave it for something else.
Please…..don’t give up on it cause there’s hope. It might seem to you like an impossibility, but having and building a targeted email list is a crucial part of your business success. Just roll up your sleeves and really learn how to do it and do it right. If you’re persistent, you will be able to do it and you’ll be really glad you did.
I know there’s probably resistance in wanting to go ahead and start building an opt in email list. I’m sure you are probably already a little stressed with all the factors involved with really making it work the way that you want it to work. There’s tons of information on this subject, some being great and some down right horrible. Regardless of the info you need to have a certain approach to list building to really make it work. I really feel all the techniques in the world are going to do you nothing unless you approach list building with these things in mind.
Before even starting a list, like building a house, a solid foundation must be laid for the whole structure to stand for years to come. The foundation of building an opt in email list has 3 mindsets. If you apply these in your list building from the get go, you will greatly improve you chances of building an opt in email list the profitable way.
1-Think quality not quantity
It’s been proven over and over again that a smaller quality subscriber list will always out perform even a huge list with low quality prospects. Your mindset has to be to approach building an opt in email list with the addition of only quality prospects. It can be more difficult to do this, but in the long run you will be ensuring your long-term success, versus having to waste you time and eventually dump a list that doesn’t produce.
Let’s face it, building an opt in email list the correct way is going to take the higher road approach. Sticking to the proper mindset during this process will give you the reasons why you are putting forth the effort and therefore will help you do it the way that will ensure your success.
2-Another mindset is having the approach that you have only ONE person on your list. When building an opt in email list many marketers talk to their list broadcasting to them like a news anchor giving the evening news on TV. Please….Don’t do it!
Just be personable and when you are writing an email you are writing it for just one person. You want them to feel that you are there for them (of course you should be) and you really want to help them. They are on your list for your expertise and help you can provide them. Never give the impression that you are too big and important for your prospects.
Keep this in mind and implement it and you will have loyal responsive subscribers that will trust you and want to respond to what you have to offer.
3-Take the time to put together the optimal system to attract your perfect subscriber. Then you can direct your marketing efforts to drive prospects into this winning subscriber funnel.
I’m sure you know McDonalds. Who hasn’t… I’ve probably eaten there 100’s of times in my lifetime. Well Ray Crock the founder of McDonalds developed a restaurant that was efficient, great quality and a real money maker. He kept tweaking it and developed a system that anyone could reproduce, if they followed his plan. He franchised it and now you have McDonalds all over the world having the same great success, because the system was a winner before rolling it out on a mass scale.
So just putting together an opt in form and some crappy report to pull prospects from anywhere you can get them, might not be the best idea for the long run. Take the time to learn, create and implement a system that attracts hight quality prospects. Then when building an opt in email list you can do it over and over producing a quality list.
Some concluding thoughts. Building an opt in email list is created with one person at a time. It’s best to focus on the one and do that with everyone on your list. Don’t act like your a huge business. You might well be big and successful, but don’t act so big that your prospects can’t connect with you. You need to always be personable and approachable.
