Module 5:List Building - Part I How To Quickly Build A Profitable List Starting Today
Why Have A List? It is The True Asset of Your Business Allows for Instant Cash Flow on Demand You can earn $0.50 to $1 per month for each member you have on your opt in list in many markets.
Things to Consider Average life of an email address is 2.5 years You must constantly continue to build Concentrate on consistency more than frequency. Do not be afraid to sell, just as long as you train in every email. Keep emails interesting and in your own voice. Be yourself, do not email based on “the polls.” Do not get hung up on unsubscribe’s. Monitor the rate and stay within the norms.
Things to Consider… Always Use Double Opt In Stay away from Single Opt when ever possible Do not broadcast emails from your desktop. Do not broadcast emails from your server. We STRONGLY recommend using a 3rd party service like all of the top internet marketers do.
Not Recommended ARP PLUS at ARP3.com MailLoop or Desktopemailer.net Group Mail plus/pro Mailing thru your server or BFM site

What is Double Opt In? D.O.I. means that any email address entered on a web page is sent a confirming email in which the party needs to open the email and click on the link in the email to confirm that they are indeed the person requesting to receive emails from you. Low D.O.I. Rates are 50%-70% Good D.O.I. Rates are 80%-90%
Ways to Increase D.O.I. Rates Use text in the submit button like: This makes it look like the info comes via email and they are more likely to give a “real” email. Send information to continue process only via email. Send to a confirm now and white list page after name is entered. (See next slide) Trade off- Can hurt OTO process.
Confirm Now/White List page http://www.mikefilsaime.com/optinyes.html
What to Capture… Always First Name and Email Any additional information can lower conversions. Use VIP Strategy when gathering postal and phone. Ask for passwords on step 2 to increase conversion rate. Use audio or video to tell people what to do.
Use Entrance/Exit Pops Jim Edwards Sites –Notice Entrance and Exit 7dayebook.com/ Focus Pop Ups http://www.instantimpactpop.com/
Additional Exit Strategy Pops http://www.trafficregenerator.com/
Automated Follow Up For every capture you must have a call to action in email follow up. Minimum of 7 email follow ups. Each follow up should have a compelling reason to return to site or take action. Follow up every day. Review these emails every 6 months. Make sure all forms contain the most current reflection of your marketing funnel.
Segment Lists • Always make sure you “Drop” prospects from follow up lists when they become “Active” in a customer list. • Segment your lists for each site as • Prospects • Customers • Affiliates • Use Tracking tags on every form regardless of list. (i.e. Site, squeeze 2, pop up, focus, from TAF, exit pop up.)
Confirm Email Redirect Link <input type="hidden" name="meta_redirect_onlist" value="http://www.viralfriendgenerator.com/step2.pre.htm"/> This will allow people to go to your sales page if they already exist in your database. (ProSender.com example)
