How many times have you heard that the money is in the
List? Yes, the money is indeed in the list.

Emails are faster and cheaper, consequently they are
rapidly replacing regular mails or snail mails. They can
be sent instantaneously anywhere in the world.

undoubtedly, emails are being used to distribute news
letters, promotional mails, and other stuff. How then
would you be able to round up email addresses to send
those marketing mails you have and not be accused of
spamming? Here is where an opt-in list comes in.

An opt-in list is a directory of email addresses you can
send mails to. Though it seems to be easy to find email
addresses, if you are talking of thousands in numbers, it is
going to be hard. Besides, you have to determine the
recipient of the email. Would you want your readers
mostly male if you are selling ladies' shoes?

A good opt-in list should include the profile of the
email address owner. Here is how you create a comprehensive
opt-in list:

Build a Website

Building a website is very easy nowadays. Search the web
and you'll find lots of website programs. Some website
creator just needs you to cut and paste, like that of a regular
paint program. Several web hosting sites are available too.
Some are even free. If you have a site of your own, you can
ask visitors to register with you or sign your guest book
as they leave

Set up a promotion or freebie

Not all the best things in life are free, as they say.
But you can definitely try to give something out for sure.
You can see this done all over the web. Free screensavers,
free games, free download of programs (oh, by the way download
a free software @ BuySmartly.com or eazy20.net)
. And what do they need from you? They just ask for an email
address, your name and a little something more about you.
Then you can place a check box on the registration form for
sending of email. For sure, you can think of something to give out as well.

Write articles

Yes, write articles or hire someone to write one for
you.There are some web magazines where in readers can
submit their writings for a particular topic. If you had a
chance to do so, add a link to your article providing
information about what you are trying to promote.
Some readers of your article may enjoy your work so
much they'd like to contact you, so don't forget to leave your email address too.

Give your readers an easy opt-out option

People who like to join your opt-in list would, along the
way may want to opt out of it somehow. People who are
wary of joining may not join at all if they see that it would
be near impossible to remove their email address from the
listing. Show them that it is as easy to opt-out as it is
opting in.

Get a partner to split the expenses and profit

It would be better if you can find a partner in
generating an opt-in list. This way, you can split the expenses and
both of you can share the list generated. It will be best
to partner with a company that has a business similar to
your own line. Both of you can profit more should that be the
case.

Use offline ways too.

You can put up a small raffle preferably in a supermarket
for a certain item they buy. You can place an email
address opt-in part in the raffle entry to add to your list. This
way, you'd also know the buying preferences of the
participants if you mark the entries systemically.

Creating an opt-in list entails a lot of work and funds.
You should outline how much you will spend in creating an
opt-in list. People appearing at opt-in lists are sales
prospects. They are those interested in a certain product that you
may be selling. Obtaining an optimal opt-in list would boost
your sales up so these tools are undoubtedly essential.

Acquire an opt-in list now or generate one. Either way,
you are reaching to people that can be one of your treasured
customers for a long time to come. Go ahead, my friend,
build yourself an opt-in list and rake in the money. You can thank me later.
