Fastest way to create an optin incentive??

10 replies
Hi guys,

I kinda struggle to create an attention grabbing incentive for my salesfunnel.

So I was wondering what is the fastest way to create an incentive to capture leads into my salesfunnel?

Creating a course takes too long, I have no money for PLR products since I'm on tight budget. I have a few giveaway rights reports but they are stuffed with affiliatelinks from other marketers:p. So tips are welcome.

I'm thinking of creating a short report, but I don't know what it should be about. I'm in the IM niche by the way. I don't want to reveal too much and still presell my lead to buy.

Hope someone can help me come up with great ideas.

    Tutorial videos are pretty quick and easy to create. You can even download a free trial of Camtasia so there's no cost to create the video. Just choose something that your niche would find useful, learn how to do it yourself, and then show them how it's done in the video.

    You could get on Skype with someone who works in your niche and shoot some questions at them -- record that call and you now have an interview that nobody else offers.

      I don't have network partners since I'm just starting out. Neither do I have video equipment (no camera) or a great mic for recordings. I assume you need a mic/headset+mic for camtasia?? :confused:

      Though the idea of creating a report sounds appealing but coming up with great content is hard. Hope someone can help me out on what to include into this report. I'm promoting a product for newbie marketers.

    Another idea...

    Approach 10 or so Warriors with good reps and ask if they'd write a 3-400 word article on _____ for your report. In return, you'll do a solo mailing to your list within the next X months.

    You might have to approach more than 10 to get 10 to go for it, but it could be done fairly quickly and you'd be giving a good trade for the service.

      Great idea expect I don't have a mailing list yet. I'm starting from scratch.

      I wanted to skip building a list at first, but realized that's the stupidest thing I could ever do since I will lose leads that way.

      Anyway I love your creativity and the fact that you're really trying to help.

    A headset mic is great for recording screen capture videos. But even the mic built into your computer is better than no mic. I've done screen capture videos with my 2-cent laptop mic in the middle of a Starbucks -- if the content is good the presentation can be scruffy and people will still thank you for it.

    Good that you're not ignoring the list building part of things. I did for the first several years I was in IM and kick myself every morning just to remind myself that LIST BUILDING should be front and center of just about everything that you do.

    Though the idea of creating a report sounds appealing but coming up with great content is hard. Hope someone can help me out on what to include into this report. I'm promoting a product for newbie marketers.
    Well, what have you learned to do that newbie marketers might still be wondering about? That's the kind of thing you put in your report.

    To put it another way, what's something YOU want to know more about? Whatever it is, read up on it, ask questions of people who have done it, and learn to do it yourself. *NOW* you have something that you can write about for newbie marketers!

    Good luck!

    Hi KatyaSenina

    There are a good site with lots of PLR and its free.
    I use it myself they have (ebooks,videos,courses etc).

    You could for example download an ebook relationed with
    your niche make some changes to it to make it unique and give
    to your optin subscribers.

    Even you could recomend some products and put your affiliate links,
    I think this is an easy way to start.

    Have a look at the site,here are the url:

    Private Label Rights And Master Resell Rights Products For Free!


    Hope this helps.

      Hi thank you, already a member there. Wasn't really happy with the quality. I'm really really picky and hard to please haha. :p I think I'll have another look at it and see if I can find something useable.

    Ask a group of marketers (hint: ask here!) what the top 5 questions they have on...

    Internet Marketing
    Affiliate Marketing
    Blogging
    ect...

    Then answer those questions as best as possible. You can just answer them in a Q & A format or you can take the answers and create a short report from them.

    Good luck!

    A short report is a good idea. They seem to have disabled it, but you used to be able to go to the WSO forum here and sort it by views. I would sy just go through there looking for things that got lots of views. That means it was a good headline that theoretically addressed a hot problem.

    Write a free short report about any likely things you find there and don't be afraid to put some affiliate links in there (with disclosure of course).

    Since you're giving it away for free, you could actually make the whole report out of free articles from directories too if you wanted.

    Regardless, I'm on the same page as you and my goal for 2010 is to have a new list-building report out every month. So I'll be busy this week. Hope what I said helps, and PM me if you need any help or encouragement along the way, since we're working on the same thing right now.

    Fair warning: It's possible I'm arguing with you because I have nothing better to do.
