5.5 Tips That Boost Your Subscriber Profits By Brian Terry Have you ever wondered how you can make the subscribers on your list more responsive? Here's what I mean... I'm sure you've done this before, you send your subscribers one email after another full of valuable, useful content, then you make a recommendation to a product and virtually no one orders through your link. Sound familiar? It took me many years of trial and error to create this list of 5 tips that help you boost your subscriber profits. Pay close attention to what I'm about to reveal because it can and will increase your listbuilding profits. Tip 1: Use double optin subscriptions Getting people to confirm their subscription ensures you have people on your list who definitely want to hear more from you. This is one of the most important steps to take because it helps you to build a quality subscriber list. Remember listbuilding is about quality not quantity. Tip 2: Use personalization It's been proven time and time again that personalization significantly increases the effectiveness of your communication with your subscribers. By including your subscribers name in the emails you send them gives the message a sense of it's being sent just for them and no-one else. Tip 3: Train your subscribers For every 2 emails you send out that are content orientated send out 1 email that's an honest recommendation you make for a product you think will help them. Train your list to expect to receive offers from you that will be of use to them. Tip 4: Regularly survey your subscribers Find out what your lists wants, then give it to them. Simple. You could ask them questions like what's their biggest problem online as well as ask other demographic style questions. This helps you to build a profile of your subscriber and gives you great understanding as to how you can help them better and what offers they're more likely to respond to. Tip 5: Give your list special offers It doesn't matter if you own a product or are an affiliate, make your list an offer only they'll be getting. It could be for the next 48 hours you're offering 20% discount on your product. Or you offer an extra bonus but only if they order something through your affiliate link. Tip 5.5: Keep in regular contact with your subscribers It's when you email your list 2 times a month that they begin to forget who you are. Stay in regular contact and people will begin to know, like and trust you. Above all don't forget this one golden rule of listbuilding... the money is in your "relationship" with your list not it's size. -------------------------------- About the Author Brian Terry is the Co-founder of ListHero where he provides you with the fastest, easiest way to build your list for free. http://www.listhero.com/44487 --------------------------------

I feel there are so many angles from which I could make a review of Andrew Hansen's new blogging software Firepow. I thought I might focus here on one particular element of the program which I consider to be particularly intregal to the success of a blogger, namely, the ability to drive traffic to their blog. If you've ever started a blog, or any form of website trying to earn some cash, you'll know it's not exactly a case of "if you build it they will come". Even a great blog doesn't guarantee traffic and a major part of a bloggers focus has to be spreading the word about their blog in a variety of ways in order to continually increase traffic and profits. Sure, I could have talked about the blog creation and management aspects of Firepow, which I know so many new online marketers and bloggers will find so valuable. But for me, I'm more concerned about how the program can help a user increase traffic and make more money. Anyway, that said - I thought I'd make a brief mention of some such features of the program in order to open your eyes to the ways this program might be as much a benefit to you as I predict it will be for me. The first thing I like, or perhaps category of thing I like, is the ability the user has to easily generate backlinks to their blog once it's up and running. When you start a new blog, you want enough search engine spider juice to your site to have it able to rank well for long tail uncompetitive keywords, purely by on page optimization, within a few days of being created. In addition to giving you powerful on page optimization capabilities (like allowing you to set the meta data AND h1h2 tag data for every post or page), Firepow lets you quickly generate the spider juice you need to get indexed and potentially ranking for an uncompetitive term. For example, as soon as your site is created, you can click a button to have your RSS feed submitted to a bunch of RSS directories. You'll get some valuable link backs, plus some great spider activity right off the bat. Not to mention the ping from your post. Furthermore, if you choose to, you could use a tool called BlogLove Builder, to quickly and easily implement a trackback to a popular blog post within your own blogs first post - and instantly generate more link juice, and even a few visitors right from the get go too! Furthermore, if you focus on search engine traffic you'll know about the importance of link building in locking in long term rankings. Initial spider juice can get you a quick ranking, but for a LASTING ranking, you need an assortment of relevant quality backlinks establishing your page as an authority on that keyword. Firepow has that more than covered, giving you the ability to obtain links from social networks, blog comments, and in content links from Firepow's own network of high PageRank blog sites as well. I stress that even what I've mentioned here isn't close to all of the tools Firepow gives you to drive traffic to your site. And it's for that reason among many that 'm recommending all my blog readers to check it out for themselves. Here's the link: http://www.urlfreeze.com/daniel77/fire

The final step in the process of having a successful and profitable niche blog is the management of your site. Here I'm talking about management in terms of keeping your site running, monitoring what's working and what's not, and monitoring the success of your site so you know how much effort to commit to it on a continual basis. Here are some of the elements involved in the management area of a successful blog. 1. You need to manage and track your search engine statistics. Here I mean two things. 1. is the doings of your search competition and 2 is the rankings and traffic from various pages of your site. In 1. You need to be always checking up on your search competition. Just by knowing what sites link to your competitor site can allow you a way to gain new backlinks. You contact the same people and get the same links PLUS keep doing all the good SEO you're already doing, you can steal their spot. in 2. You need to monitor your own search rankings to see what search terms are bringing you traffic. At this point you can either choose to focus more of your content on those terms, giving readers coming from those terms more to look at and more opportunities to get pushed to your affiliate link OR you can look harder at the monetization of those pages. This might include testing different affiliate link positionings, changing the text, and more. Following on from that, something else that needs to be tracked on your blog, is how successful your content is at converting visitors to sales. This has traditionally been tough on a blogs because the way they are set doesn't generally allow for any form of split testing. However, a new blogging software called Firepow has made this possible. What you can do is test which content your audience responds best to. You can use variations of two different posts, have them alternate for each new user to the blog, and see which version of the post generated the most affiliate link clicks. Optimizing your content like this may be the easiest way to increase your bottom line. After all think about this: If you want to double your profits from a site, you can either double your site traffic, or you can double your conversion rate... what's easier? In a lot of cases, it's doubling your conversion rate. Finally, something that needs to be managed on your blog is the updating of your content. The most successful blogs and mini sites always have something new for their readers all the time, and when you're running more than one blog, this can be an ongoing challenge. The best thing you can do here is get yourself the help of some software like the above mentioned Firepow, which can help you manage a number of blog's content from one control panel. Something like this will give you the ability to post content on schedules, get notified of when a blog needs updating, and offer you options of how to get relevant content on to your site without your effort. Combined with all the elements we've talked about in previous articles, managing your blog will put the profit icing on your blogging/mini site cake. I trust that you've found this series informative and helpful. Author Bio:Arthur Hansen Publisher: David Disch-Owner of ddisch77.com online since 2005 http://www.ddisch77.com

The next article in this series will look at how to drive traffic to your blog or mini site - the element of online marketing that most people get stuck at. Here we'll look at the primary ways of driving quality traffic to your niche site. Keep in mind that the phrase QUALITY traffic is important - we only the want the visitors who might buy our products and make us money - we don't want freebie seekers in this business model. The first and best way to generate traffic is to do as I've described in the previous article, which is to produce content based on long tail keywords from your niche. After optimizing your page well for this term, and using the in built pinging fucntion to notify other websites of your new content - you can be ranking and getting traffic for uncompetitive terms within the first few days of your site's existence. After this, there are many ways to approach your traffic generation. 1. Article Marketing: This is essentially (though often misunderstood) the process of having articles you've written, published on websites other than your own, for the purpose of including a link back to your site and funneling traffic from their site to yours. You can do this with article directories or with other blogs and websites by contacting the site author. Either way, the extra exposure from these sites can drive through important relevant visitors to your pages. 2. Ongoing Keyword research and SEO: The reason I believe in having a big focus on SEO is that the people who have a specific problem and are looking for a solution, tend to gravitate toward a search engine. Yes there are millions of web viewers who don't go near a search engine but they can be harder to target and can represent not as high a quality traffic. In other words they don't tend to make you as much money. Continually finding new keywords that represent relevant traffic for your products, and continually creating content to target those visitors is about as smart as you can be with ongoing traffic generation. 3. Link Building: This is both for the purpose of boosting your search engine rankings and increasing exposure to your website. You have probably heard that links back to your site from relevant websites indicate your site is more trust worthy and worthy of better SE rankings. At the same time, a link on a relevant website, whether in a piece of content on a sidebar, can increase visitors to your website. You should make it a point to continually do activities that motivate similar sites in your niche to link to you - or even if not in your niche, site's that could send you relevant visitors. 4. Using Social Networks: Using the myriad social networks like Digg, Mysapce, Facebook, Stumbleupon etc can be another great way to increase traffic to your website. Just by submitting all the posts you make to your blog to site's like Digg and Stumbleupon, you can earn yourself extra backlinks, and the potential to have your content seen and then shared by new members of your target audience. As is becoming clear, almost EVERYONE online hangs out at some social network for some reason, and if you can find where your target market is hanging out and leverage that, your traffic can increase exponentially. Finally, remember that when trying to generate traffic to your blog, you should consider your niche before deciding which methods to utilize. As I've said before, using a social network might be great, but certain niches might be too technically unadvanced to know about social networks, and they only use Google. Some niches might be more easily approached by use of visual media like video rather than article content. The bottom line of traffic generation is where are my target market hanging out, and how can I get my site in front of them in a way that contributes value to their lives. I hope you've found this traffic generation article helpful. Next we'll look at the management of a successful blog.
