One way to add PAID buyers to your list BEFORE they opt in.

Ok,

This is just something I thought might help some of you struggling with list building and trying to make a go of this internet marketing thing.

Again, if you haven't heard my rants before, they generally involve fiverr as the best way to do these things and to test theories.

Ok so here's a method that has worked just fine for me;

1. Find a FREE WSO (there are hundreds if not thousands), preferrably a software tool where the user has to opt in to either get access to the info or to activate the software.

2. Find out the problem that the tool solves and come up with a compelling HOOK headline that fits fine within "I will ____ for $5".

Make sure the sentence makes sense when you read it out loud.

3. Complete the description as well, and try to be as transparent as possible in letting the potential buyer know what your gig does for them and in this case, usually, the bullet points from the free wso should help you figure that out just fine.

4. Make a squeeze page ala the war room where the person gets access to what was promised, but they DO NOT have to opt in to anything.

Instead, you want to incentivize the optin by giving a beefy bonus if they decide they'd like more stuff.

*For this part - make a quick bonus - either video or guide/report or something that gives more. Make sure its something valuable, but do it in the "one problem, one solution" fashion so that you can just bang it out.

Make sure it compliments that freebie nicely.

-The requirements are definitely to have an autoresponder service in place, and perhaps a subdomain of something you have not in extensive use, if not, remember getting a domain is cheap.

You might consider using another 3rd party platform to host the responder form....anyways, I'm not trying to get to in depth here. This is just meant to give you some ideas.

5. When the person buys the gig - you deliver either a PDF or a text document that has the link to the FREE WSO page and the optin form to get the bonus stuff.

6. Some will, some won't so what...you made some money.

7. Caveat - if ever anyone gives you guff about having to give their email address in order to access what they paid for - my policy - if I'm trying to retain 100% positive feedback that is, give them an option to get another freebie if they give you a thumbs up and collect/share the gig or refund (its not a big deal).

I have built a list of over 200 people - paid buyers - with similar techniques.

Hope that truly helps some of you get on your way.
