Opt-In Techniques to Build a Targeted List

Writing by Brick Marketing on Monday, May 12, 2008

Opt-in techniques are usually focused on getting as many people as possible to sign up for your opt-in list, but that isn´t necessarily what you need to be doing. Yes, having a lot of subscribers will boost your sales rate . . . but having interested subscribers, a targeted list, will increase it drastically without the need for thousands of subscribers!

It´s often better to have a few subscribers that are fascinated with your product than hundreds who have no interest and only signed up to get a free ebook. You´ll be wasting time and expenses trying to reach all those non-interested readers.

Instead, it´s better to focus on opt-in techniques that build a targeted list. This means making sure that you state up front what your email newsletter is about. It also helps to ensure that any free gifts that you offer in a giveaway or as motivation to sign up for your opt-in list should be related to your list.

Look for ways to incorporate more targeted methods of attracting subscribers. It is well worth the effort to have a group of subscribers that is very interested in what you have to say. Opt-in techniques that create a targeted list are far more useful to email marketers than those designed to grab huge quantities.
