 Internet marketers who actually made it big in this business will say that his list is his money. The internet marketer’s bloodline is his list. You can actually monetize your list in a very simple way. Put a US$1 value per contact in your list on average. So if you have 5,000 contacts, that could be your opt in or your members list, you can count on a US$5,000.00 monthly income from your list.
The importance of a mailing list is of the utmost concern for serious internet marketers who want to make something out of their campaign. List building therefore should be your top priority. Everything boils down on how to make or build a very responsive email marketing list. Here are some of the things I’ve learned in the times I did email marketing.

Again, in this business, the trial and error process is very important though some people might say that this is a waste of time, effort and money because there are other tested methods to do effective email marketing campaign. I totally disagree with this since we all have different niche markets we want to penetrate and each market reacts individually on different approaches and we must also find new, fresh ways promote our products.
The internet is a thriving business and evolves almost everyday so we have to keep up with it. So what I do first thing is to conduct a niche market research. There are available tools online that can help you conduct an effective online marketing research. You need to feel the vibe in your niche market.
Get to know them intimately and after that you can figure out the most effective approach for your email marketing campaign. Then work on your email marketing materials. Building a highly responsive list starts with the headlines. Catchy and funky headline that is enough to grab someone’s attention is the only guarantee for that precious ‘click’.
This is the most important element of your squeeze page. Ignore this one and I can guarantee your campaign will go down the drain in record breaking speed. Let those creative juices flow and be as imaginative as you can be. Just don’t forget to direct your headline to your product.
Do not deceive your members by putting in a whole different thing in your headline and discuss another in the body of your email marketing material. This is a turn off so avoid doing it at all cost. Your squeeze page should look crisp, clean and professional. This will help you build integrity and help you establish yourself as an expert in your chosen field.
In the body of your material, add bullets. This will increase the readability of your email marketing material. Place it in a clean and precise manner. It will also help you in your conversion. Add graphics. Majority of readers respond positively to pictures and other visually stimulating graphics. The cover of your free report plays a huge part in whetting the appetite of your readers.
As the saying goes ‘A picture paints a thousand words’. You can also add videos to your report. It could be testimonials or anything that can be associated with your product. There are many ways to make your email marketing collateral interesting. Think of ways to make it more exciting and readable.
Just always remember to associate everything with your product. Do a routine upgrade of your list by taking out contacts who fail to get back to you accordingly. Continue adding new contacts in any way you can and do rigorous follow up on them. Plan your campaign very well and avoid overloading it with sales pitches.
Sell your product in a subtle way, always telling the benefits and how it can help their current situation. These are only the basics that I myself have applied. You can add your own tips along the way.
