Best ways to collect email subscribers?

7 replies
I heard that most successful clickbank affiliates are email marketers or people who manage to send mass promotion emails to their subscribers.

But isn't collecting emails (generating leads? I guess?) the most difficult part of it?

1. How do you collect subscribers?
2. How do you get traffic to your squeeze page or website which has the subscriber form?
3. What kind of emails do you send to your subscribers?

Do you try to sell different products to your same subcribers over and over again?

As a programmer who has software on the market, I have customers too and I have their emails and if I develop a similar software, I know I can make some money by sending mass promotion email to them. But I never get how affiliates manage to do the clickbank version of this, it looks like a very tough business and a very long term project.

    Building an email list is definitely a long term business! Because having an email list is like having an asset. You can market to those people over and over again!

    Basically what you are going to need is an autoresponder, which is the software/database where all your email subscribers are stored. I personally have used Sendlane, but switched to Aweber a couple months ago. There are dozens of them, but Aweber and Getresponse have been getting good feedback over the years. You will have the option to build a squeezepage with the autoresponder or a simple form, which you can take the code of and paste it into your "Custom" made squeezepage.

    Usually, you are giving away something of value for free. A free report, an eBook, Video Course, Audio, Cheatsheet, etc. in exchange for their email address. Something they can digest fairly quickly and don't get confronted with a 110 page eBook (ain't no body got time for that - unless you know it's amazing). That's how you collect the subscribers.

    There are literally tons of ways you could be driving traffic to your squeezepage, paid and free... The probably quickest way to get traffic are Solo Ads. This basically means that you are using the work of other people - other peoples lists, and pay per click. The cost is around 0.30$-0.90$, but can get higher of course, I wouldn't suggest going lower than 0.30$. Solo ads are a fast way to get traffic, but the magic is to convert that traffic into sales! Once you manage to get a decend ROI on your traffic campaigns, you are almost building your list for free, and have the ability to market to them over and over again, unless they unsubscribe.

    Once they opted in to your list, your job is to make them like and trust you. Give them more value and show them that you are a source of expertise. Show them that you know what you are talking about and that they can learn something from opening your emails and following your recommendations. Tell them stories and combine them with products that might fit to the story. And yes, you basically try to sell different products (in the same niche tho) to your same subscribers.

    Let's say you are in the MMO Niche and you are giving away a free report on how to make 142.37$ per day on complete autopilot. This report will be a quick overview of how the system works and after that you give them the opportunity to "upgrade" to a paid offer and tell them that they can learn even more from that offer. Always try not to sell them the features of the product, but the results they will be getting through the product.

    You are not selling weed seeds, you are selling a green lawn.
    You are not selling a weight loss program, you are selling the bikini body they want to have.
    You are not selling a way to make money online, you are selling them time freedom and the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world.

    You get the idea...

    While you are sending emails and promoting stuff, don't jump from product to product every single day. Keep it at one product for about 3-5 days, because people usually need more than one "touch" to make a decision. Maybe they are in a bad mood or not ready for change at the first time around they see the product, but if you sell them the outcomes and the results they might have, they could change their mind and give it a go!

    Feel free to send me a message if you have some more questions!

    I hope I was able to help.

      Thread Hijacking and posting affiliate links is responses is a really not helping anyone on this forum. So why don't you edit your post to conform to the rules and actually try to provide some value to the OP question?

    Like they said here you need
    a good autoresponder where you can
    deliver them emails and stay in contact with
    your list.

    I don't know what niche you are on,
    But one of the good ways to get converting traffic
    is via solo ads or google adwords.

    Now about promotions give them some
    value, not free stuff people don't appreciate that
    and usually after you give them something free once
    they will except for that every time and
    when you will ask for money

    for some product of yours they will get
    mad and won't buy
    a thing from you.

    So find some value to share with them
    treat them as people not cash.

    Wish you luck!

    The basic gameplan is to give something to somebody for free in exchange for their email addy...maybe it is a free report...maybe it is a free audio...maybe it is a video...maybe it is a course or something...

    you prove your value to them by providing them value in the niche...Like Jimmy D. Brown used to say "valuable but incomplete..."

    then....you start emailing them continual value, but remember to not give away the farm...

    finally....you sprinkle in offers here and there that are related to the niche..

    the key is finding a niche that is not too hard to gain traction in but has folks in it that got money and are desperate to fix something...
