When you want to attract new subscribers to your opt-in list, it can be overwhelming to get started, especially when you know you’ll be competing with several other Internet marketers. The best way to build a massive list to improve your affiliate marketing sales is to entice your visitors with incentives to subscribe.
Here are 7 excellent ways to entice your visitors to subscribe to your opt-in list:
1. Newsletter
Starting a newsletter is one of the most popular incentives to use when building an opt-in list for your affiliate marketing efforts. With an online newsletter, you can position yourself as an expert in your field, build credibility and trust, and ultimately more sales. However, one word of caution: don’t blast your list with nothing but sales. The reason your subscribers signed up is to get some free valuable information, so be sure to give it to them before pitching and affiliate product or service. Also, be sure to keep your content fresh, The biggest reason that people unsubscribe to newsletters is that they don’t feel the information is relevant to them any longer.
2. Free download
Often combined with a newsletter, the free download is a great incentive because it’s instant gratification and if it’s presented right, it can be perceived as a must-have item. For instance, if you were to provide the “3 secrets to making more money in your niche” in exchange for an email, that can be very enticing. The download could be a set of articles, an ebook, free software, or a number of other ideas. Make it valuable and you will have a happy subscriber list in no time!
3. Free Course
Another great way to get visitors to subscribe to your opt-in list is to offer them a free course on a relevant topic in whatever niche you are promoting. A course can be small (but informative) consisting of as little as 5 or 10 articles spread out of a month’s time. This is just enough frequency to keep you in their minds and build a relationship, but also infrequent enough that it doesn’t seem like you’re bombarding their email
