 Opt in email marketing can be a very lucrative way to make
money online. The sad thing is that many either don't know how
to start or go about it the wrong way. In this article I am
going to give you a few pointers on how to start an opt in email
marketing campaign, what products or services you should promote
and how to keep your subscribers happy.

First of all, what is opt in email marketing? Let me sum it up
this way: Opt in email marketing is the art of building a
relationship with individuals who are either on your list or
will be, providing them quality content and supplying them with
solutions to their problems. First, you need to get people on
your email list and here's how.

First of all, you need to get an autoresponder service to
handle your email list. I personally use http://aweber. com. Once
you have an autoresponder you need to build an opt in form to
collect email addresses. Any reputable autoresponder service
will show you exactly how to do this. Now all you have to do is
put the form on your site and your ready to go.

To get people to join your list you need to give them something
of value for opting in. If you are just starting out and don't
have anything to offer you can try these things. One, you can go
to http://surefireweal th.com and sign up for a membership. They
have plenty of products you can give away for free as your opt
in bonus. Two, you can go to http://sourceforge. net and find
something for your prospective email list members. This is an
open source site where you can find all kinds of free software
to download and use under the GPL. Finally, you can create your
own bonus. Here's how.

To create your own bonus you can get a collection of articles
from sites like ezinearticles. com dedicated to a certain niche
or topic. You can choose about 5 articles and put them all into
a pdf along with the author's bio box. It is very important to
give credit to the authors when you do this. Now you have your
very own bonus to give away.

Now that you have a few subscribers you now need to provide
useful content to them. If you can't come up with content
yourself you can either hire someone to write articles for you
or again, you can go to an article directory and find articles
to either send out in your email's or post on your blog if you
have one. If you choose to use other people's content you again
need to give them credit by publishing their author bio box.

Now that you are providing quality content you need to find
products and services that your subscribers may be interested
in. One of the best places to find these products is at
http://clickbank. com. You can sign up for free there and then
search their marketplace for a product that will fit into the
niche you are involved in. So let's say your niche is golf. You
can cruise on over to clickbank and peruse their marketplace for
golfing products you can offer to your opt in email marketing
list members. Easy enough right?

Here is a quick tip on how often you should send out a
promotion to your list. You should follow a 5/1 ratio when
promoting products to your list. For example, you should send
out 5 pieces of quality content and then send out a promotion
for something you are an affiliate of, I.E. a certain golf
product you found at click bank. This will keep your list
members happy and they won't feel like your just out to sell
them something.

Opt in email marketing is a way to a very lucrative business
online. You just have to make sure that you always provide much
more quality content than product offers. You will have some
people unsubscribe from your list from time to time. Don't let
that discourage you. This is natural and happens to everyone who
is involved with opt in email marketing. Just remember, the more
you give the more you will receive.
