How to build an optin list
Everyone who is anyone in Internet Marketing preaches that you need to have a list to be successful. I have to agree. I’ve spent time trying to do the affiliate marketing thing and found that anyone can send tons of traffic to an affiliate website. Once that traffic is there, it’s out of your control. You are depending on someone elses ad copy to make you money. AND you have just handed off a lead to someone else without anyway to benefit.
What you need to build a list
- Auto Responder:To start, you need someplace to build your list. I recommend Aweber. This is one of the best auto responder, mailing listing services available. I’ve been using them for a year and have never had a problem.
- A Giveaway: You’re going to need something to give your prospect in order to get them to hand over their name and email address. This can be a sneak peak at your product, some information, software or something else of value. This may and maynot cost you money to obtain.
- A Website: So now you have an auto responder, a giveaway and now you need a website. Something that may not look pretty, but that’s reliable. It needs to present some good sales copy. Words that are going to charm the pants off of the person reading it. It won’t just be about the giveaway, although that helps. The copy has to be compelling.
- Put it all together: Once you have all three, you have to put them together and begin driving traffic to your new optin form. Easier said than done, but it can be accomplished.
Is there an easier way to this?
Absolutely! It’s not often I come across truly innovative concepts in Internet Marketing. Then I found Prospect Blazer. This site does everything I mentioned above and then some. Now, you do need to have your own Aweber account, but Prospect Blazer has amazing sales copy, templates, giveaways and have it all bundled together.
In a nutshell, they have links that you promote through your normal traffic building techniques. The landing page is on their server, using their ad copy, their templates(you get to choose from several) and YOUR option form. That’s right, they did all of the work and you get to collect the names. How amazing is that? Even better? There is an option to have a paid optin form.
What’s a paid optin form?
A paid optin form is one where your prospect will actually pay you to give their name to you. In return, you give them a really good deal. Want an example and a good product? Check this out. If you want to learn to write really good ad copy this software is ONLY $7.95 with a money back guarantee. The optin form is part of the process.

Once you see that demo you’ll need to get an idea of the big picture of how all of this works and save you time and money. Prospect Blazer has a yearly fee of $199.00. In my opinion, that’s pretty cheap. Especially for everything you get.
Here’s a link to the

If you are looking to build a list and make it as painless as possible, I would strongly suggest looking at the above sites.
Finally, I put together a free option that will give you some very good software. In fact you over 50 free marketing tools and a video that shows the three top producers of internet marketing sharing some of their secrets.
