Youve finally realized that you need to build your opt-in list. You may have read articles and found advice from experts and gurus telling about the success theyve had from building their opt-in lists and now youve decided that you need one of your own. So, youve started trying to build your opt-in list Youve followed all the advice and you still havent been able to make a profit?

Maybe you are even losing money You cant figure out why others have succeeded and you have failed.

Well the truth is, you need to build a responsive list, not just a big list.

One of the biggest mistakes is that you may have just dived right in without thinking out your business strategy.

In this article I will outline 3 of the best and quickest ways you can start to build your opt-in list correctly and how you can make sure it will be profitable.

1) You need to build a good relationship with your subscribers. Just because you have an opt-in list, doesnt automatically make you an expert. You need to provide your subscribers with some meat first. Try to give your subscribers very good information that they can grab onto. This will start to make you become an authority with your subscribers and they will start to depend on you for their information. You can also participate in the forums in your niche so that you can find out what your target market really wants to know and learn about. This will help you connect with your subscribers on a deeper level.

In addition, post on forums and provide expert advice and recommendations. Get your name out there so that people will see you in more than one place. Use your posts as an opportunity to place a link to your website in your signature and get people to your site so they can subscribe to your newsletter.

The truth is that the money will only start coming in when your subscribers believe in and trust you. They will not buy something from you if they feel like they dont know who you are. You can do this by providing some sort of value to the right off the bat.

2) Only offer products and services to your list that they really want and need. You need to keep a strong relationship with the people on your list, so never recommend something that you havent actually used or reviewed yourself. Never, recommend something just to make a quick buck. This is the fastest way to lose your credibility.

3) Find ways to make friends with other opt-in list owners. This is good because you can network with them and do cross promotions. If they already have a successful opt-in list, many times they will be willing to give you tips and ideas that have worked well for them. While there are many articles and information about how to build your list, nothing is better than getting first hand advice from someone you trust.

As your list grows, make sure you maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable.

Always remember, that building a profitable opt-in list doesnt happen overnight. You are building an asset with your list. Your subscribers are always number one, so treat them like you would want to be treated. Dont pound them with offers for this and that. Give them quality content that they will be happy with, and when you do put an offer in front of them the response will be much much greater.
