How To Get Your Subscribers Begging For More - by Jesus Moreno

The following article presents the very latest information on opt-in lists. If you have a particular interest in opt-in-lists, then this informative article is required reading.

Just as an experiment, a friend of mine subscribe to ten different opt-in e-mail marketing lists to see which ones are effective. Many websites and online businesses have resorted to sending promotional materials to people who have subscribed to them in an effort to boost their sales or traffic. Opt-in email marketing sends newsletters, catalogs updates and many more promotional materials to website visitors who have agreed to be updated whether monthly, weekly or semiannually.

Through e-mail, an internet user that is on the list will receive their updates through email. If a promotional material piques their interest they will go to the site to learn more or to purchase outright. For the website operators or owners, this is a chance to remind their list of their existence and parlor their wares. With the numerous sites in the internet that offers the same products or services in one way or the other, the competition can get pretty tight and it is easy to be forgotten.

Back to my experimenting friend, he tried to find out which opt-in marketing strategies grabbed a person into begging for more. Some would send in very simple fashion, some would very outlandish while there are some that would just lie in between. The differences could easily be noticed and some have gotten the idea of an effective opt-in marketing strategy. He dubbed them effective because he felt like he just couldn’t wait to go their site and learn more, the more persuasive ones even got him halfway to reaching for his wallet and to his credit card before he realized this was only for an experiment.

Many companies and site present their promotional materials in a wide variety of concepts. Each has their own distinctive style and designs, but more than the outline and the presentation, the content and the articles are what keeps the attention of your potential customer locked on to your opt-in marketing medium. Creativity is the key here.

From talking to many satisfied opt-in list subscribers and forums, I have learned of what is essential in opt-in marketing and what makes the subscribers begging for more instead of lining up to unsubscribe.

So far, we've uncovered some interesting facts about optinlists. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.

Keep your promotional materials light, creative and original. Many people are stressed out as it is. Getting a stuffy business proposal rather than a light hearted e-mail may just agitate them more. A warm friendly smile or banter is always more welcome than a serious business meeting or proposal. While you do want your customers to take you and your products and services seriously, you also want to show them that you know how to have fun.

Splash some color in your emails as well as provide some photos and articles that can be related to you but show good news or good light hearted images as well. Provide a newsletter or promotional materials that will keep them in a light mood. Make your materials eye catching and grabbing that they wont be able to take their eyes of them. Pique their interests.

Have good content and article, even if it means investing in an experienced and professional copy writer to write them for you. An effective copy writer should be able to build trust between you and your customers. They should be able to establish your credibility in what they write. It must be informative but not too stuffy. Let go of the professional jargons and “talk“to your recipients.

A good article and content should be able to outline the benefits of your product and services and why they need what you are offering. But do not look to be overeager and too persuasive. It should be able to entertain as well as lead them to buying from you.

Your promotional materials should be clear. Don’t leave people guessing. You should lead them to you and not vice versa. Explain to them what they need to do in a manner that won’t be confusing. Try to anticipate also what your target client needs. Do your research and information gathering, many sites will be able to help you with that.

Provide clear and crisp images of what you are offering. If the people know what you have for them, they are more likely to beg for more. For example, if you are selling a car, provide them photos but only enough to encourage them to go to your site for more.

Take time to consider the points presented above. What you learn may help you overcome your hesitation to take action.

This earthquake caused by StormPay. - by Jesus Moreno

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.

Sometimes the most important aspects of a subject are not immediately obvious. Keep reading to get the complete picture.

To all people affected by StormPay actions: Of course, I'm one of them. You can't believe what's happening with this SP stuff. I understand they are just a payment processor. But, at the light of what's going on, you can see that they are behaving the bad way: DA, jury, judge and executioner, for the least. I recently received payouts from 2 auto surf programs that have been paying me (and to others, for sure) and for that I was glad. Well, this joy lasted a few hours. Why? Imagine? StormPay made charge backs to my account to another programs. They say that charge backs can be made when: because of fraudulent actions or because of solicitation of the merchants. Non of these apply. Still, they made those charge backs. What does this mean? Simple, just one word: robbery.

I am a mexican citizen. I don't know about U.S. laws. I can hardly write english. I just have common sense. Definitely I'm sure StormPay is behaving the worst manner. Even if we suppose (only suppose) that they are right about the "ponzi or pyramid" schemes, what they are doing is outrageous. Closing and frozing accounts, debiting and making charge backs, WOW, what do they thing they are?

I'm realy disappointed about the internet; well, to be fair, it's not the internet. It's human being that makes bad use of one of the most great inventions of mankind. Hackers, crackers, scammers, spammers, etc. These ones make use of this sublime invention to harm us all.

I personally am member to several autosurf programs like 12dailyPro, My Cash Trader, Safari Cash, AutoSurf.biz, Grand Hits, 911 Hitz, Dadndaves and 4daily. All of them always paid me. There are other like Estrix Surf, Daily Trust and 12Daily, to name a few, that came to be BIG SCAMMERS. They stealed the money and for sure they're having nice sun on a tropical island. And laughing at us, of course. As always, we fair people suffer because of the sinners. It's on these cases when authorities should really prosecute them.

Isn't there any group that can be able to beat these scoundrels of StormPay that are trying to steal great amounts of other people money? Are they going to succeed? I deeply hope someone comes up to save us all.
