Build a List of Eager Subscribers

An online business is like any other business, you have to have satisfied customers that trust you. When you have there trust you will be able to sell to them.
If they are happy with your products and service they will keep buying from you and even recommend friend (I have had customers forward on my email to friends and family, increasing my database with no effort on my part)

It stands to reason the more traffic you have to your site the more sales you will generate. Although in theory this is correct but you need the correct type of traffic coming to your site. As you drive traffic to your site you will entice visitors to your site to opt in to your e-mail alerts, you will keep them updated on newsletters new and relevant products.

Now for all intents and purposes e-mail can be free although you will need some sort of auto responder to get your opt in list started. (You can get free trial software to start with but they are limited to 100 emails a day and most do not come with web opt in forms on the free trial) With auto responders opt in list you are pretty much guaranteed that your e-mails will be received and opened. You will be wasting your time if they end up in the spam bin or deleted before they are opened.

I will also point out that people will be unsubscribing when they feel they are not getting value or what they thought they subscribed to.

So the trick to keeping your subscribers eager to stay on your list and wanting to open your e-mails is a difficult one.
You need to keep your emails interesting and fun. Use a little creative flair mixed in with some humour. “oh what has he been up to now” will keep them opening your emails.
Research the latest trends and find offers that revolve around that trend. This will keep you one step ahead of your competitors and give your list the latest products.

Write articles on products that are informative yet light reading. If the readers like your article they will look to you for more information and guidance.
Don’t worry if you do not like writing there are many professional writers out there that will do the job for you at minimal cost, they know what you are trying to achieve and all the sign ups and potential profits that you will receive will off set any cost that you will incur.

Create and send e-books on a topic that is relevant to your site of business.
Use your knowledge and expertise in this field to help people with similar interests. Offer this e-book for free on your site and other sites, if you have your name and site link in the document then you will get visitors from other sites and generate more profit from this book.

If your followers can see benefit from receiving your newsletters, they will be eager to receive them, do not just flood them with offer after offer after offer this is the easiest way to get them to un subscribe.
