Once you have built your list, there are a number of ways that you can use it to make money. For instance you could sell compilations of articles to your list or as separate products. Manuals and how-to articles are in great demand, and many people are willing to shell out money for information in several niche markets. Another way would be to set up affiliate relationships with companies that have a logical connection to and are non-competitive with your products or services.

Your opt-in list is one of the most valuable tools any type of website or internet based company can have. Even for small ventures, such as a niche profit site, an opt-in list is priceless because it helps add money to your bottom line. Think about it, you almost never see a website that doesn’t spam you with pop-ups and opt-in chances from the very moment you enter their site. In fact, one growing trend I’ve seen is that you cannot even access their website unless you first give them an email address. However, an opt-in list benefits you in many other ways as well.

A company’s opt-in list allows them to market via email, but more importantly it gets your prospects to raise their hand and tell you that they are interested in whatever it is you are selling. This type of marketing is one of the cheapest forms of lead generation advertising that you can do. Using this method, you can keep your subscriber up-to-date as well as sending them sales materials reworked as useful free information. But be careful… email contact is highly regulated now and you will need to investigate what federal, state, and local laws apply to your email contacts. However, the question remains: How do I build a profitable opt-in list?

Building a list is sometimes difficult because only a small percentage will actually subscribe to an opt-in list. You will need to be creative in how you get people to opt-in. The standard, and arguably the best, way to build a good opt-in list is to start your own newsletter filled with free useful information. However, a word of warning, don’t focus your newsletter on your business. No offense, but chances are nobody wants to read about your business or mine for that matter. It is better to create a newsletter that is based on fun facts, interesting anecdotes, inspirational quotes, funny graphics, etc. This way your newsletter will have broad universal appeal. Newsletters are one of the best client-retention devices and they make an excellent way to attract new visitors to your site. It is of the greatest importance that you offer them relevant information that your prospects will find interesting.

Another way to get people to opt in is to include interesting free content on your website. Good candidates for this are free reports, articles, or other information. Still another way would be to offer free widgets such as reseller rights products or other similar low-cost products. If you give people useful and informative content -- they will want more.

Other than marketing your products and services, an opt-in list can also be used to increase your profits. Unfortunately, not all lists can be used. It would be good to first build a successful list with a large number of subscribers, because the more subscribers you have, the more money you can get for your list. In this case, bigger is always better!
