How To Convert Online Like It’s Going Out of Style

By Michael H. Fleischner On November 20, 2009 Under Internet Marketing

Do I have your attention? Anyone trying to make a living online is interested in one thing, improving conversions. As an Internet marketing veteran, I’ve seen plenty of web sites and blogs miss one their biggest opportunities for growth. The answer is actually quite simple, making the most of your list.

If you’re already online, you probably have a list of some kind. Whether you have 100 names or many more, your list is your greatest ally in succeeding online. And keep in mind that you have the right to email individuals who have emailed you as well as signed up for your list. Many web marketers overlook all of the individuals who have submitted questions and comments as being potential prospects. To improve conversion rates, you must focus on building your list from your traffic and utilizing that list effectively.

The first way to leverage your list is with the use of an auto responder service. This type of service is ideal for anyone who wants to fully leverage their list with little effort. Auto responders work because they are automatic. You sign up for a service like Aweber and pre-load all of the messages you want registered users to receive. Once a user registers, they receive various emails at set intervals. This is the most powerful strategy for improving conversions available today.

The second way to make money from your list is to generate pre-sale emails. The concept of the pre-sale is to create interest and desire among prospective customers. When targeted emails are sent notifying individuals of a new release, they take notice. This also builds interest and anticipation. If you want to start earning large sales or affiliate commissions, consider using your list to pre-sell offers.

The third technique for levering your list is to build an even bigger list among a target audience. The good news about niche markets is that there are tight communities that openly share information, tools, and resources. Use your list as a viral tool to continue building your database of individuals who want to receive more information from you and learn about your products and services. This keeps you list fresh and relevant to your specific goals.

The final method for leveraging an email list is to communicate on a regular basis. Your auto-responder sequence should integrate a series of messages spread out over time. By continually staying in front of your list and utilizing the content that you have to provide value, these individuals will stay engaged and have a higher propensity to purchase from you.

If you’re not that far down the path of building a list, I advise you to start today. Using this list effectively will improve conversions significantly, generating a nice income stream over the long term. Be sure to utilize your list properly to be effective.
