Every online marketer should be building a list. We all know that. But what do you do when someone opts in to your list? Do you just send them to the default optin page? If so, you are leaving money on the table.
For the last couple of months I have been experimenting with sending my subscribers to an affiliate offer when they optin to my list. I have used affiliate offers and CPA offers with pretty good results.
The best results have come from this formula…When someone optins in to my list I have my autoresponder (Aweber) redirect them to a page on my site that simply says “Thank You For Subscribing. Check Out This Great Offer Below”. Then below that I say “Our #1 Recommended (insert whatever product you are promoting)” Under that there is simply a banner for the product I am promoting.
So if you are in the dog training niche, you would simply say “Our #1 Recommended Dog Training Guide” and then link out to it with your affiliate link.
Over the last 30 days I have made 7 sales and made around $130.
Am I going to retire on this…NO. But it is free money that I just added to my bottom line with absolutely no cost. I should make me over $1,000 in the next year and it took me about 15 minutes to set up. I’ll take it.
To do this in Aweber just login to you autoresponder account and click on “My Lists” -> “Confirmed Opt-in”, then scroll to the bottom of that page where it says “Confirmation Success Page”.
And enter in the page where you put the offer up. This will all take you at most 30 minutes to set up.
You can also do this in the “Web Form” section under “Thank You Page”. But I use this page to explain to my subscribers how to confirm their subscription because I use double-optin and getting them on my list is my first objective.
So go give it a try and let me know how it works out for you.
