Four Ways to Improve Your Opt In Mailing List
by John Stone
The methods discussed in this article assume that you
have a first class Email auto-responder capable of
taking care of its business while your computer
is off line.
It goes without saying that you should have a well
constructed home page or marketing page that, in and
of itself, is designed to sell your product or service.
Modify this page in the following way to
Maximize your
Opt-In Email address list.
1. Use an Auto-Subscribe Pop-Up. This feature is designed
to capture the prospects Email address and have them
send you an Email effortlessly. The Email is sent directly
from their Email program. This means the quality of the
Email address is at it's highest.
2. Add a Subscribe Form Near the Top of the Page.
The prospect should not have to scroll down the page to get
to your subscribe form.
3. Provide a 'Quick Subscribe' Button. This is a backup to
steps 1 and 2. If they choose not to respond to the
auto-subscribe and not to fill out the form, they may
decide that clicking a Quick Subscribe button is worth
their time.
4. Configure Your Email Program to use your list subscribe
Email address. To do this, set the 'Reply Email Address'
in your Email program to correspond to your list address.
This is a great way for people to get to know about your
offerings and to get them on your mailing list.
It is a well known fact that Email Autoresponders are a vital
component to build your Internet sales. Collecting Opt-in
leads can be as simple as implementing these four items. As
long as these addresses remain on your list, you can put
your products and services in front of your prospective clients.
To your success,
John Stone

Because access to government information continues to be an area of concern for many U.S. citizens with disabilities, the U.S. government enacted Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in 2001 to ensure that government agencies create accessible Web content, enabling all citizens to access the information they need. A fully accessible Web site makes Web content accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, who may be accessing Web content via a variety of user agents. Common user agents include standard Web browsers, text-only browsers, assistive devices and mobile devices such as cell phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
