One Of The Best List-Building Strategies I've Known. Copyright by Patric Chan 2004.

 

I bet you know that building a list of subscribers
is one of the MOST important parts of your
online business if you want to make mon.ey.

If you don't know that, let me remind you that the
MON.EY is in the LIST because of your
credibility and relationship with your subscribers.

I'm not going to explain why and so on, because
this whole article won't fit all the details. What
I want to share with you is one of the best
list-building strategies I've personally used to
build over 1,000 targeted subscribers in less
than 5 days.

If you want to build a list quickly with targeted
and responsive subscribers, I strongly urge
you to use co-registration joint-venture list
building strategy.

Phew, that's a long name for a strategy!

A co-registration joint venture is basically a
way of adding more subscribers to your opt-in
list with the help of other publishers. Say, for
example, you subscribe to an ezine. .After
you subscribe, you're taken to a page thanking
you for subscribing and that's about it.

But, what if instead of just saying thanks, how
about saying something like "Thanks for
subscribing... while you wait for your
welcome email, take a look at these other
great ezines below - they're a great compliment
to the information you'll get from me!"

Then you see a list of a few other ezines
that you can subscribe to just by clicking the
box next to the ones you want and filling
in the form.

That's the most basic co-registration joint venture.

Here's another example of a co-registration
joint venture - you could up a f.ree giveaway site.
A bunch of people get together to offer their
best products to everyone's subscribers - all
they need to do is fill out a form to get them.

I know it works because I've done it with
one of my previous campaigns called, 'The
Best Articles Ever Written'.

Here are the details on how I did it so that
you can cop.y it in whatever niche market you
are involved in:

1. Contact 10 JV partners or any number of
partners you want to have. The more JV partners
you have, the more subscribers you'll gain but
you risk getting less targeted subscribers.

Here's why:

If a subscriber subscribes to 10 lists, it's a very
high possibility that thry will unsubscribe
because of too many subscriptions. But if
you have 5 JV partners, they'll be receiving
emails from 5 people only. But then you'll have
5 people only to promote the promotion for you.

2. When you contacted your potential JV partners,
you MUST state very clearly:

i. What are the benefits that they can expect.
Can they make mon.ey? Can their list grow?

ii. What they are expected to do. If you need
them to email to their list, tell them so. Don't
do it at the last minute.

iii. What do they need to off.er to be in this
promotion? Normally, each of the JV partners
will off.er a product to entice the subscribers
to subscribe to their mailing list.

3. Prepare all the necessary materials.

These will include:

i. Creating the webpage where anyone who
is interested in getting the products off.ered
for f.ree can subscribe to the contributor's
(your JV partners) list.

ii. Programming script to make sure that
it's working perfectly that each subscription
will go to your JV partner.

iii. Email templates for your JV partners to send
to their subscribers.

iv. Email support for the new subscribers.
Sometimes, they might face challenges like
failing to subscribe or trouble with down.loading
the products. It's your responsibility to manage
all of these.

4. Thanking your JV partner. You'll probably
agree with me that you managed to build a list
quickly with targeted subscribers is because
of the help you get from your JV partners. Tell them
how much you appreciated their help and if
possible, off.er an extra incentive to them.

You can promote their products to the new list that you
have built from this promotion to show your appreciation
for your JV partners contribution.

Mistakes to avoid:

1. Not setting up the email subscription script correctly.

Sometimes, when you hired a programmer to
write the subscription form so that each subscriber
will be subscribed to your JV partner's list, there's
a bug and the subscription was not successful.

To make sure that your subscription works
perfectly, get professionals to do it for you or you
can use Mike Steup's useful software, at

I recomm.end it rather than hiring a programmer at
ANY TIME. I've used the software and it proved to
be very useful and user-friendly.

2. Not tracking your co-reg campaign

If you do not track, how will you know that your
JV partners did in fact announce the promotion
to their list?

Sometimes, it's not their intention of not helping
out with the promotion, but forgot to announce it due
to their busy schedule. So if you did track, you'll be able
to remind them that they have not done it yet. It's
not fair if 9 of the 10 JV partners are helping out but
the other one is not putting in any effort and getting
his/her list built for f.ree.

In conclusion, you'll need to plan and coordinate
precisely to create a successful campaign. No
doubt it's a lot of work, but isn't it worth the
effort when you can build a list of targeted subscribers
quickly without spending a single cent for ad.vertising?
