Double Opt In Email List: The Secret of Making Big Money With Your List

The most common statement in internet marketing is "The money is in the list". What this means is that once you have an opt in email list, you'll never go broke again. All you have to do is keep sending emails recommending affiliate products to them and you'll continue to get paid.

Building a list is an essential skill if you're trying to make money online. I see it as the most important aspect of internet marketing and that is why I wrote a book on it at http://www.akinalabi.com/list.html

But if you want to maximize the profits from your list, then you should consider building a double opt in email list. What this means is that you should ensure that your list members click a link in the first email they recieve from you to confirm that they were actually the ones that asked for information from your website.

Let me explain.

A lot of people put in bad or non-existent email addresses when they get to your squeeze page. Because they put down a bad email address, it's unlikely that they will read the messages you will send to them in future.

But if they put down their best email addresses and confirm that they were actually the ones that opted in earlier on, then it will be very likely that they'll open your emails in future.

Here is the tactic you should use to make sure they double opt into your list.

On your opt in page, make sure you state it clearly that they should put down their best email addresses and also, a confirmation email will be sent to them. Also state that it is after they click the confirmation link in the email before they can access the free stuffs you're giving away.

Informing them of all these from the onset will drastically reduce the amount bad email addresses you'll recieve.

The downside of using double opt in is that many people will not remember to click the confirmation link so your list building process will be slowed down a bit.

It's worth the wait though. You'll rest assured you're building a quality list.

Put this strategy on your opt in page and your list building campaign will be better for it.

Thanks for your time.
