The Fastest Way to Tons of Subscribers!
by Ewen Chia
What's the use of an opt-in list or ezine IFthere are no subscribers to appreciate your efforts?
It's easy to start a list, no problem, I can do oneby lunch tomorrow, but getting tons of subscribersis a different thing altogether.
Strangely enough , it does take some work if you preferNOT to invest in paid advertising or co-registrationservices to gain subscribers.
With that said, here's ONE simple, straight-forwardbut devastatingly effective technique to attract them.
Do not let the simplicity fool you, it works like a charm.Everyone should include this as part of their list-buildingstrategy : )
=====================================
Create A Killer Subscription Page!
=====================================
Not exactly new news here, but as I mentioned,many internet marketers are missing out on thisdeadly technique.
You've got to build an attractive subscription pageWITH an irresistible offer to entice potentialsubscribers to hit the subscribe button!
The best types are those in the 'direct response'style - clean, simple, eye-catching web pagescarrying action-oriented sales messages.
For example, this is how I've designed it :

=====================
Now let's break it down, what must you include inyour subscription page to build your list? Here'rethe THREE most necessary factors...
* Benefit-driven Headline *
Tell them WHY they should subscribe. What do theygain, what can they expect? Sum your biggest benefitor unique advantage in the main headline!
* Irresistible Bonus *
It's a fact that bonuses still draw the crowds,contrary to what you may have heard.
You've got to create a superb subscriptionbonus that any breathing prospect would becrazy to miss out on!
How? Do something different, packed it fullof value, and make sure it's relevant to themarket you're targeting at. A good bonus wouldbe something you feel you could SELL equally well.
If you've seen from my subscription page,what I've done is created a huge bundled packageof quality ebooks. Notice the high 'percieved value'attached? This is an example of what you can do.
* Eye-catching Image *
Words sell, yes, but so do pictures, perhaps evenbetter for this particular strategy.
Your subscription page should (no, make that a must)have an ecover of your ezine or whatever you're givingaway. An ecover provides 'tangibility' and increase thepercieved value of your product dramatically.
It can very well increase your subscriptions by asmuch as 400%!
Promote your new subscription page everywhereand in no time flat, you'll be able to have your ownhuge guru-size opt-in list.without having to pay asingle cent for it!
