Discover Co-Registration Services - The Secret Weapon For Flooding Your Opt-In List With Subscriptions

It just wasn't happening. Yes, visitors
were coming to the site, but the opt-in list was growing painfully slow. A new approach was called for, and a friend recommended trying a co-registration effort. And darned if it didn't work!

With both free and paid variations
available, co-registration is based on the practice of presenting a prospect with multiple opt-in opportunities (usually subscriptions or memberships) at the same time.

The Free Way:

The free method of co-registration involves a cooperative effort between competitors, where each offers their list the chance to sign up for a competing ezine(s), often on
a confirmation page after a purchase is
made.

Announce It- Or Not!
Having an online business means that you need to find as many
free or very affordable ways of .....

In this way, members of the co-op 'share' each others traffic. You can think of this as a type of joint venture. It works best when you
partner with one or two other ezine publishers, offering 3-4 ezine options. You must limit the choices, as too many can be overwhelming

to the prospect.

The Paid Way:

There are a number of services popping up across the Internet where an ezine publisher can pay to have their ezine posted with others, in a directory setting. A prospect visiting these sites will be presented with a
number of sign up opportunities to opt-in. These services are also known as
pay-per-subscriber directories.

However, as with other forms of paid
promotions, before investigating a paid
co-registration service, you MUST have a firm understanding of your numbers. Do you know how much a new subscriber is worth to you'

Once you've grown your opt-in list to around 500, run your conversion rates; know how much you can afford per lead beforehand to break even.

If you're brand new and haven't yet gotten a firm sense of your return-on-investment (ROI), wait until you do before signing up. Without an understanding of your revenue and
conversion, you could end up overpaying.

Remember, the internet is a numbers game - make sure you know yours before proceeding.

When considering a co-registration service, there are a few critical questions you must ask:

*Does the service provide only opt-in traffic' If it doesn't, move on. The more targeted the lead, the better.

*Can the new leads be automatically
subscribed/added to your opt-in list' Or will the service give you a list of new subscribers that you'll need to input manually'

Attack Smaller Searches To Get The Big Ones!

Searching online can not only be fun, but you sometimes need to be downright inventive.

For .....

*If you're paying, try to avoid buying leads that have been shared too heavily with ezines that have a target market identical to yours.

*Only use those services that allow potential subscribers to read short descriptions of the ezines being offered - again, this serves to
sort, target and pre-qualify the potential opt-in traffic. The closer their interests match your offered information, the better.

*Avoid those services that ......
