Eugenijus Sakalauskas

 An opt-in list can be quite crucial to any site or  internet based company. Even for a small venture such  as a niche profit site an opt-in list can make a world  of difference and also add some extra income for your  pocket. Rarely would you see an e-commerce site, big  or small, that is without an opt-in list.

An opt-in list allows for a company to market their wares  and site via an e-mail. With an opt-in list, a site  and a subscriber consents to sending and receiving a  newsletter from your company. Through this, you can keep  your subscribers abreast of what is currently available  in your site as well as whatever is coming out.

And because there is mutual consent between the two  parties, any mail sent to the list is not considered  as spam mail. There is a great number of successfully  read promotional materials such as catalogs, newsletters  and such that are sent because the subscribers themselves  have signed up for them, meaning, they do want to be  sent those items.

Building a list is crucial, only a small percentage  actually subscribes for an opt-in list. Many people find  promotional mails annoying but of you provide a good  newsletter or promotional material, you will see your  list build up and grow. You can also achieve this by  having good content on your site. If people like what  they see and read on your site, then they surely would  want more. Newsletters would be a way to attract them  back to your site. A little teaser or appetizer if you  will.

But other than marketing your wares and your services,  an opt-in list can also be used to earn extra profit.  Not all lists can be used though. It would be good to  first build a successful list with a huge number of  subscribers. The more subscribers you have, the more  money you can get. Here are seven ways to make money  using nothing more than your list.

1) Place advertisements. There are many corporations  who will be willing to pay to put their banners and ads  on a list with many subscribers. Selling or renting out  lists is not a good idea so rather than doing that, many  companies would just rather place ads with lists that  have a huge subscriber base. Your newsletter could be  placed with many ads and each one spells money.

2) Have affiliations with other companies that have at  least a semblance or relation to what your site is about.  Here other companies will provide links and brief  descriptions of what they offer, products and services.  With every click made on the link that directs or leads  a subscriber from your list to their site, the company  will pay you. This P4P or pay for performance.

3) Make deals with other companies by asking for a small  percentage of sales done through your list. With every  sale done by customers that have come from your list and  have gone there because of your newsletter, the other  company will pay you a small percentage of your sales.  The more people who buys from them, the more earnings you get.

4) You may also get products from other sites on a  consignment basis and sell them to your list via your  newsletter. Place descriptions, articles and photos of  the product in your newsletter. There will be those who  will buy from you and when that happens, you can order  the product from the other site and sell it to your buyer.

5) Sell e-books or a compilation of your articles on your  list. Manuals and how-to articles are in great demand.  Many people will be willing to shell out money to gain  knowledge about a certain topic and subject. With your  existing list trusting your expertise in that area, an  e-book could be offered and sold or used as an incentive.

6) Create a network out of your list. Get people to  invite more people to view your site and subscribe to your  list. The larger your list is, the more people will be  able to click on your links and affiliate links as well  as make your advertisement rates higher.

7) Subscribers are willing to pay for information if  they know that it can be trusted and relied upon.  Use your list to get more and more people to subscribe  to you as well as browse your site. Lastly, you can use  your list to earn money by making them your partners.  Your list will be the bloodline of your growth and increase.
