Finding Valuable Info For List Building Purposes

by doctorgringo
5 replies
So, I have a question, I have Aweber and am going to build preliminary opt-in pages which give info about my list. I want to do this across a couple niches and grow trust in the niche. I have a question, where would I find quality information?

1. Google?
2. Magazine/Infozine hot topics?
3. Niche related tips/info (how to lose weight, how to communicate better with ex, etc?)

I am thinking of crossing my use of Kindle where I make money and building lists but incorporating portions of my books and offering them ahead of time to the viewers of the list through "valuable information" and build trust. I mean, I know this might be a lot of work but I think it might be fruitful.

My second question is:
1. When should I offer them the clickbank product?Which email? I am trying to build trust here so I'm guessing like the 3rd email?
2. Can you give me a one or two line example of how I introduce the product?

my guess is something like this:

"Hello
I've got a special treat for you today... we're going to talk about x(niche related topic)
Here are some things you should know:
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
Value 4
The reason you should do these things is because of
Benefit 1
Benefit 2
Benefit 3
Benefit 4
(these should be emotion provoking)
I've found a product that can help you get this process done quicker, faster, or get your ex back today!
This product has
x, y, and z and it can help you do x, y, and z
Click here to check it out!"
(something like this?)

4. Also, would Facebook Ads be a good way to send them to my list? Bing after I get the hang of the ads.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me!

    To avoid freebie seekers, I usually don't offer a freebie but instead make the headline so irressistable that they need to opt in to check out the sales page on the other end (usually a $27 product). This is to pay for the lead generation cost.

    As for the email itself, don't be like any other marketers out there. Tell your story first. People don't give their trust someone they don't know. And People relate well with stories rather than a promotion. So by the time you promote (2nd or 3rd email), you can do it along the lines of:

    Subject: I need a favor

    My friend (insert name of product creator) just launched a (whatever the product is about).

    It's a simple blah blah blah system that (insert benefits and features)

    I'm checking it right now on my laptop and I think you should too if you want to (insert claim here)

    P.S. Don't tell him I put you up to this.

    Thanks!

    John the (insert monicker or whatever you told them about you on your first email.)

    1. This sends their guard down
    2. This puts you up on the same level as the product creator boosting your authority
    3. The friendly tone makes them click the link even more.
    4. This works for me =)

    Re 1st response: Interesting approach but it assumes you already have credibility. The original poster seems to be talking about getting people to sign up in the first place. I agree that freebies are not the way to go. Instead, build small info pages that give free info with increasing value per page. For the final page (once you have filtered and pumped up the interest of the prospect) goes to an optin page and the optin form redirects to the answers they are looking for. If you use the same tired free ebook model, you get lots of list squatters.

    Nothing wrong with freebie seekers, we've all been there from time to time. But they don't generally make you money in the short term. Long term, there's potential.
    So I like to go with a dual approach. Offer a freebie AND a paid product. There's something for everyone, and the real buyers will make themselves known by opting in and /or purchasing.

    here's some trust building tips:

    Open up a Facebook Group with your name on it. Promote it on your 1st email, download page, thank you page.

    Create a blog and post valuable stuff on it. can put it on the autoresponder or broadcast it as you post them

    Send a few email that provide beneficial content only

    make a video that provides beneficial content only and send it to your list

    The best time to promote a product is right after they opt in and are directed to an offer page. but as for emails, "when" is determined by price and trust. low-tickets can be sent on the 3rd email. mid ticket can be sent on the 5th email, and so on.
