list in the completely incorrect
manner. This is why they cannot

They act as if their list is their virtual
bank account.

more than ‘slaves’ to their selfish

Good Things You Can Do to Your
List
In order to skyrocket your list’s
response rate, you have to treat your
list in the right way. Only if you do
these three things, you will be able to
make it work for you.

13. You can help your subscribers
Your subscribers are your potential
customers. As any customer, they
need something from you. That’s why
they decided to subscribe to your list.
They need your help. If you can simply
help your subscribers, they will
reciprocate it by responding more to
your recommendation.

14. Remember, you have to help them
first before claiming your reward. If
you fail to help them, they won’t give
you any reward. So think about
creative ways that you can help your
subscribers and you will ultimately be
rewarded with new customers.

15. You can listen to your
subscribers
What do your subscribers want from
you? If only you know what they want,
you will be able to give them what they
want and earn money by doing so.
That’s why you should ask your
subscribers what they want from time
to time. So, don’t just tell them what to
do. You have to listen to their needs as
well.

16. You can connect with your
subscribers
Connecting with your subscribers is an
important part of your email
marketing. You have to build a bond of
friendship with your subscribers. Talk
to them as if you are their friend.

17. Don’t appear as a sales person in front
of your subscribers. Help them
sincerely. Recommend products that
can help them solve their problem and
improve their life. You will be able to
earn lots of money if you can do this.

18. In conclusion, creating an opt in list
strategy that focuses around helping
your subscribers, listening to your
subscribers, and connecting them with
other people of likeness will allow you
to make your opt in list work for you.

19. Apply them in your email marketing
and affiliate marketing campaigns, and
you will be able to prove the teachings
of internet marketing gurus that the
money is, in fact, in the list. And
remember not to do bad things to your
list like sending too many
advertisements, abandoning your
list, and give them anything that has no
value for them.
