Opt-in list is a very essential element of successful email marketing strategies

 is a clean list of targeted email addresses of people who are really interested in receiving the emails from. 

We call this an opt-in list.

The email addresses that you obtain through most other methods will not be emails belonging to people that really want to hear from you. You must only email to those who want to receive your emails. 

By sending emails to those who did not choose to be on your list as one of your subscribers you will guarantee that you will begin to receive a lot of complaints from people for sending unsolicited emails, and ban of your email account.You want your list to be built up of emails that contain the people who are interested in your offers.

Make sure you have their consent beforehand.

The opt-in method may not be as quick and easy as buying a list or generating or harvesting email addresses but you will find that it is the best and most reliable way there is.  You will not be sending unsolicited emails and you will have proof that the recipient has subscribed himself to your mailing list.Now don’t get me wrong there are tools you can use to help build your list and end up with good quality leads if you do it correctly.

One that I use regularly is one called “List Bandit”  List Bandit was created by Gary Ambrose and you basically sign up and you will begin to have a list of leads that have agreed to let you send them email in exchange for them to do the same in return.Well this is fine but not very productive in my experience. 

What is lacking is the relationship building which is very crucial.  So I do not usually try and sell to these types of lists, as they are not very responsive.  But can be very valuable if you set up an opt-in page. 

Instead of just promoting to this list, drive them to your squeeze page. 

By doing this you are allowing them to opt-in to your list because they can see the value of your offer you are offering, and in return you can begin to build relationships with them.

Have a great day!
