How To Build Your Opt In List On A Shoestring Budget!

Theres been a disturbing trend the last month or so.

Im seeing many publishers shutting down their ezines and others whove mentioned doing the same in private emails.

These are publishers who have been around for some time.

The problem is not their newsletter, many of them are excellent. The problem seems to be the changes taking place on the net.

I wrote about the ad scammers some time back and theyre still up to their old tricks.

<> Fake Addresses

<> Autoresponders

<> Accounts that bounce within a week

<> Subscribing and unsubscribing, over and over.

Many fine ezines have gone the way of the dinosaur, rather than continue having their time and efforts abused.

Looking for a way around this problem, I decided to look for a simple way to build an opt in list, and cut down on the hit and run scammers.

Its not fool proof, but its been working so far. Its cut down on my bounces and unsubscribes.

Theres only one way to subscribe to my ezine. If I get any of those bogus subscribe requests that tell me how much they look forward to reading my newsletter and by the way heres their free ad to save me time.

I know Ive got a scammer. Theyve joined some program that gives them a canned spiel.

So how can you build a list and avoid some of the headaches?

The first thing I did was set up a simple page telling who we are.

Next I added a list of bonuses.

Finally, I added a subscription form.

Once theyve subscribed their bonuses are emailed directly to the address they supplied. This guarantees the address is real and it wont bounce.

How long does it take to set up a simple page like the one I used? 10 or 15 minutes.

So how has this simple page worked out?

<> No bounces

<> Only 1 request to be removed

So save yourself some headaches and spend 10 or 15 minutes to make your life easier.

Wishing You Success,
