Creating an opt in list of subscribers is critical to online success. It isn't that hard if you know a couple of thesetips but most important of all is to just to do it! The biggest reason for affiliates and others seeking web income is lack of ACTION!
OK, so you're buring with desire to get started. Here's what to do to start building your money-producing opt in list.
I have found that I build a list very fast with a quality report, e-course or newsletter.
So you say, "but I'm not a writer?"
You need to write what people are interested in.
Not "5 Ways To Murder Your Mother-In-Law". OOP's thatis not nice of me to think of that :o)
Or "How To Make Dandlelion Wine". OK, maybe you areinterested in that...:o)
But you get the idea. Write what is a hot topic thateveryone is talking about or asking about. If it's about murder, go somewhere else :o)
Don't know what they are looking for? Ask them. Askyour friends or family what they would like to knowmore about in your subject field. Or if it's marketingput up a survey or poll form on your website or sendemails to your contacts.
Browse hot forums and see what everyone is talkingabout. The messages with the most 'views' or 'posts'are the hot topics.

Develop a list of 'burning questions to ask the'expert'.
Send the expert your list with a good reason to answerthem. At least a nice bio with a link to their websiteand the right to distribute the report in anyway theywant.
What is probably the most important step in creatingyour free report? The HEADLINE! As with ads, unlessyou capture the attention of the reader in the first1-2 seconds you won't have many subscribers.
Here are a few headlines:
? Quick Tips To Overnight Profits?/p>

Which one would you pick? The first? In my humbleopinion it would be the last. It has two eye catchingfactors. 7 and $650. People will know its not a longdrawn-out report but 7 quickie type tips and everyonewould like to make $650 by knowing these tips.
Bottom line. Remember the old worn out by don't everyforget the famous radio station, WIIFM or WHAT'S IN ITFOR ME. Keep that in mind every time you write aheadline and you will see 100's or even 1,000'ssubscribing to your free report.
