[...] lots of people like Yaro have explained the benefits of having an email list – especially when it comes to monetization and affiliate marketing, and I think I can use this blog [...]

I just wanted to let you know that most people I know will never really give away their email adress somewhere before they have had a good look at the site, if they need a working email adress, they’ll just put in their “junk” mail adress (yahoo, …), or, as is the case with most namesqueezes, they only need to type something like sqdsq@sqd.com and they are through. So in the end, if the user doesn’t subscribe by himself, it doesn’t have any real value.
As for testing different incentives to get subscribers, I generally have more of bookmark reflex, and don’t really care about the incentives (nowadays pretty much everyone is offering some mini-course on something), but will come back later, and if the owner seems fine and the content is updated I’ll subscribe to know more.

P.S. Sorry if my english isn’t that good.

Danny- When you say newsletter engine, are you referring to a piece of software that will generate a newsletter template for you or the software that handles the email sending?

I use the aweber script to handle email broadcasts and send out plain text emails.

Interesting article.

I wrote two brief articles about the increasing use of “Squeeze” pages a couple of weeks ago.

They can definitely increase sales, but they can also lose you sales.

It really depends on how good the web copy is and what you are offering.

I am very reluctant to part with my EMail address these days, because of the amount of people that use autoresponders to spam.

This means that sometimes I don’t bother giving them my EMail address and just leave.

If I leave, then it is normally because they have not given me enough information for me to part with my valuable EMail address.

Or, it is because they have failed to persuade me that their product or service is going to benefit me.

I’m actually on the lookout for user-friendly and customizable newsletter engines. What are you using? And care to suggest any other?

Cheers.

It’s hard not to at least test the namesqueeze method. You may not like it but if it works that much better than other techniques it’s hard not to use it.

Namesqueeze is the way to go for Niche list building. There is no way around it.

You give away a free report or software or whatever and have the namesqueeze so they can get the download instructions sent to them.

Meanwhile they subscribe to your ezine as well so you can stay in touch with them.

Not only that but you use the namesqueeze so that on your salespage that comes right after they subscribe it is changed so it has their name inserted into it.

This is THE prooven most effective method of building huge lists and converting a high percentage of sales with the customized salespage.

My company is actually developing some new scripts that will make namesqueeze obsolete, but until then its the way to go for building huge niche lists and making lots of sales.

Building An Email List

For the past few days, I’ve been writing about publishing an ezine or building an email list on this blog. And I will be rolling out a few more in the next few weeks.
Some of the articles that I’d like to highlight here are

I’m with Pat on this one. I dislike the concept of the ‘namesqueeze’ and will boycott sites or put in false information if I really require to access the content. Sounds dishonest I know, but due to my paranoia about the legitimacy of many sites, and my complete distrust of many websites, particularly the ones that espouse the mantra of ‘WE PROMISE NOT TO ON-SELL YOUR DETAILS’ leads me to this state of mind.

Thats my two cents, but saying that I’m currently looking into doing a mailing list like feature for the client I work for, and your article has just reminded me that I better get my finger out.
