Co-registration is the latest buzz word in list building
By Robert Puddy
Everyone agrees Co-Registrations are one of the best ways to build large
opt-in e-mail lists in a very short time. Yet still, 99% of webmasters aren't
taking advantage of them.... why?... It rapidly generates opt-in email subscribers or leads - in a fraction of the
time it normally takes to do it yourself.
Co-Registration services are an established, proven list building tool, It's a
fast, easy, and Free "secret weapon" used by all famous Internet marketers to
rapidly grow their large opt-in (permission based) email lists!
Broadly speaking, co-registration refers to the practice of referring leads,
subscriptions, or memberships concurrent with another registration process. This
might occur a couple of different ways:
Visitors signing up for a free subscription or other service are offered the
chance to opt-in to other offers on the "thank-you page" that appears after the
initial registration.
Visitors to a site are given the chance to opt-in to multiple publications or
lists simultaneously. The most common question was how to find other publishers
with whom joint ventures could be implemented. Look for sites similar to your
own by searching for them in search engines and directories.
If they have an ezine similar to your own that doesn't necessary compete,
they're a perfect candidate. If they don't have an ezine, you may be able to
arrange a deal where they would offer free subscriptions to your ezine from
their site in exchange for a link from your site to theirs.
You may also find interested publishers through the various communities of email
publishers that exist online.
The joint venture set up on the thank-you page of Advertising Know-How is a good
example of publications that compliment each other without necessarily
competing. One ezine covers how to understand and write php scripts, one
marketing tips, one covers the power linking strategy for better search engine optimisation, one covers building online communities,
and one offers tips on publishing an email publication. All interest Internet
professionals without directly competing for mind share
By far, the number-one effort to drive new subscriptions to Advertising Know-How
was the joint venture I set up with six other ezine publishers. It took about
three days to organize and set up, and now Advertising Know-How (and the other
publications) all benefit from significantly more new subscribers each day.
(Some of the publications -- including this one -- more than doubled their
growth rate.)
You can get an idea of how the joint venture works by taking a look at this
page.
http://www.advertisingknowhow.com/jv/index.php
That's the page that new subscribers see after filling out the subscription form
at Advertising Know-How. The thank-you page features names and descriptions of
six other publications and an easy-to-use checkbox form. The publications are
recommended for quality and work well with Advertising Know-How because they
complement the publication (and would interest a similar audience) without being
competitive with it.
The reason this project is so successful is that it took very little time to set
up, while the participating publishers continue to benefit from each others'
efforts over time.
In fact a brand new service was born from this JV, the project was so successful
I had a whole site programmed to allow any ezine owner to join in and use the
thank you page strategy.
Normal co registration services use pop ups to deliver the page views needed to
create subscribers, pop up blockers and the general dislike of anything that
pops up has reduced the effectiveness of these services. Finding a way to carry
on utilising the co-registration model, yet getting away from pop ups was
essential.
Make no mistake - your subscriber list is your most powerful weapon in the
Internet Marketing war. The money isn't in the secrets, the MLM's, the e-books,
or anything else. The secret is just a fact!
YOU NEED A MAILING LIST!
