Winning the Trust of Your Audience

Just launching an opt-in list may not be enough to help you achieving your goals of building a profitable list of loyal subscribers. Rather it will be a great idea if you put some articles and valuable content on your site first. Once your visitors see & read your content they will like to follow you and learn from you. This way you will be able to build your list more effectively.

I am not telling you to wait for 6 months or a year before putting an optin form on your site, but at least you should have 10-15 quality articles and some pages with good quality content before taking a step of building an optin list.

This way you will be able to win the trust of your readers. They will be able to know how knowledgeable you are about your niche and how valuable your content is for them.

Other ways of prove your authority and knowledge about your topic is to join relevant forums & put your article links there (with signature or through posts). Give recommendations, provide expert advice & build your credibility.

Once you feel that people are starting to trust you, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you’re business is all about.

The truth is people become customers when they trust and believe in you & your products or services. By creating a level of trust in your reader’s mind, you will be able to build the most profitable email list of hungry buyers who are always ready to believe in your recommendations.

Offering A Product or Service That People Need

Always focus on offering the product or service that people are looking for. This increases your chance of making more sales and income from your email list.

For example, If you have a list of subscribers who are interested in losing weight, you need to know what the biggest hurdle is that makes it difficult for them to achieve their weight loss goals.

Are they taking too much Junk Food?

Is exercise missing from their daily life routine?…etc

You can learn more about your subscribers by taking a survey. A short survey of 5-10 relevant questions that can give you as much required information as possible about them so that you can offer them relevant products or services. This will greatly increase your chances of improving your sales through your email list.

So, Do your research well & know about your email subscribers, you would see the profits come in.
