Different websites have different ways of building opt in list. However there are some tried and tested formulas to help you guys to develop your own opt in listing for your site.

Strategies for building opt in list and affiliate marketing
There are a number of strategies that affiliate marketers can use for building opt in list and affiliate marketing. One way of building opt in list is
1. By purchasing or leasing a subscribers list from third-parties.
This is usually done by affiliate marketers in order to get easy access to many people who have consented to receiving e-mails, newsletters and e-zines on various topics. For example, if you are using the getresponse opt-in service, they do have option for you to purchase subscribers, and I know a couple of marketers who are pretty successful at raking in the cash using this method.
However, although this is indeed the fastest approach to building opt in list, this method does not provide a focused consumer group for building opt in list. Also, you ultimately may spend more to “buy” your list than what you eventually receive in sales.
2. Constructing a squeeze page
Squeeze page is a very simple webpage created solely to solicit opt in email addresses from prospective subscribers. The goal of the page is to obtain the visitors email address. And, any navigation, hyperlinks or additional information that could distract the user or cause them to “Click-Away” to a different website are absent in the page. The absence of links is used to focus visitors’ attention on one choice: register for the email list or leave the site. To ensure your squeeze page is successful, keep it simple and ensure that your offer is enticing or irresistable.
3. Writing articles is also an effective strategy for building opt in list.
The articles can be published in various newsletters with specific links to the affiliate marketer’s site. This serves as a great introduction to potential subscribers that would encourage them to sign up for an opt in list. This can be used in conjuction with your squeeze page if you plan to collect opt in list big time.
4. Joint ventures are also a valuable strategy in building opt in list.
Yes… the JV word. Joint ventures are a hundred percent free and at the same time can add up to hundreds of subscribers to an opt in list daily. Most business make it big with Joint Ventures (JV). No doubt about this. JV doesn’t apply only to opt in list building, but you can JV with others in almost anything, online and offline for mutual business benefit and really good profit.
The most important factor to consider is how to keep the interest of the subscriber. Remember, it is just as easy for a subscriber to opt out of the list as it was to opt in to the list.
Cheers to all and have a good week ahead! Cherrio for now.
