Multiply your List-Building Efforts!


Hello Again!

Hope you're doing just great today, friend! We're into
April now, and the temp is supposed to be above 60F
this week - the first Welland's seen those numbers since
last October! Can't wait for the 80's!

OK - By now you've gotten your autoresponders set up
at
GetReponse, loaded them up with Jimmy D. Brown's
e-course
and/or the e-zine that came with your PlugIn Profits site,
and are driving opt-in signups to it through all the sources
we've talked about here, including giving away the free
Super Bloggers Report from the page I gave you there,
right?

If you've done all (or most) of what I've recommended,
your list will be growing by about 15 - 50 names a week.
If you already have a busy site or used a lead-capture page
like the one at
The Affiliate Marketing Special Report
it may even be growing by 100 a week for you...

But even at that speed, it'll take a year to get to 5,000
names, without allowing for the inevitable attrition! Don't
despair, though - there are ways to pick up more subscribers
in chunks at a time. Through Joint Ventures I've added as
many as a thousand in a week, and our
Becoming A Super Blogger
e-book has added another 574 names in the last 2 weeks alone.
When coupled with our other sources, that's 1,000 more
than 2 weeks ago!

It's true, though - not everyone has an e-book to write
at any given time, and big JV's are hard to come by when
your list is still small. But don't lose hope - everyone started
with that first subscriber and built their opt-in list from
there, one way or another...

About a month ago I recommended you consider buying some
leads through your
GetResponse Account because they were
co-registration leads, or co-reg for short.

Co-reg is a simple system - someone with a busier site
puts YOUR subscription form on a page, often with theirs
and a few others, and you get some of the visitors signing
up specifically to your list. Generic leads aren't worth the
electrons it takes to record them, but those who've joined
YOUR list are gold - the same as those who've joined
right from your site or blog.

Most co-reg leads come from one of two sources - a lead
'broker' who specializes strictly in building lists for
people, or from JV's with other publishers. You can, and
should, consider using both types...

Buying leads from a co-reg dealer is a simple matter if
you know of a reliable source - you place your order &
they mount a campaign to get you your leads. In most
cases they can fill your order quickly. Remember that
these people usually have dozens or even hudreds of
campaigns running, and use some money from each to do
that much more advertising, so they have access to
promotional budgets you and I can only dream about. ..

Co-reg JV's are just as valid, but take longer to get you your
leads. In this scenario, you might partner up with 4 - 6 other
publishers, and you all display a form with each other's e-zines
advertised on it. When people subscribe to Bob's list, some will
check off yours too; Some of your new opt-ins will want Jane's
e-zine, and some of Jane's will pick your and Bob's e-zine too.

Since you're starting off small, none of you will have a lot of traffic
to expose the offers to, but collectively it's a much better number.
With 6 or 8 partners involved it can potentially double your rate
of opt-ins, and there's no expense to any of you except the time
it takes to put it together and implement it across the sites.

Later this week I'll post info on the most reputable independant
co-reg list-builder I know of, so that you can boost your opt-in
list by 5 or 10 thousand at a time if you have the budget for it.

It's worth it even if you have to stretch a bit to do it - maybe set
your budget so that you can place an order every other month, or
once every 3 months. Even doing it quarterly will add another
20,000 names in the next year alone. And by that time those
20,000 will be helping to pay for the new ones!

As well, I'll introduce you to some new software for setting up
exactly the type of list-building JV's I described above -
software that will produce the multi-ezine forms you need to
put it all in place. Far from expensive, it should pay for itself
within the first 3 or 4 months if you put a little effort into it.

You CAN set these up without the software if you know the
HTML needed, but the program makes it so simple there's
no reason to bother with it...

So hang on to your pennies, wring a little more out of the
budget and I'll talk to you later in the week, ok? Have a
super few days and be sure to spend some quality time
with your loved ones, the ones you're doing all this for, right?

All the best,

Doug Champigny,
Welland, ON, Canada
