Co-Registration Services - Should you Use Them?

In writing my simple toolkit and putting out this newsletter on list building each week - I have looked at countless ways of building an opt-in list.

There's one area that I usually shy away from - Co-Registration Services.

Now this is NOT the co-registration method that I explained in last week's Newsletter; where two website owners make a deal and display each other's subscription forms on their sites.

For example, a website on How to sell antiques would place an additional sign-up form on his/her site for a website on How to Find antiques - and vice-versa.

Rather these are names gathered from High Traffic sites, where people have opted-in to a list. They have given permission to be contacted on a certain topic - say internet marketing.

Internet marketers buy the right to contact these people who have opted-in. Don't get the wrong impression - these are not harvested names - taken illegally by software/robots roaming the net.

They are legit?

But the Big Issue here is Spam. You have to be very careful in using co-registration services. Like anything on the net - some are very reputable; others less so.

If you do use these kinds of services - make sure you have an 'unsubscribe' link in every e-mail; offer some valuable information and don't mail these contacts too often.

If you're interested in using this kind of service to kick-start your 'opt-in list' or ezine; there is one site run by NitroListBuilder.com that you should have a look at.

To give you more information on how these co-registration services work I have included an article by Willie Crawford.

If you haven't heard of Willie Crawford - your Marketing Education is missing one important factor! Maybe, he's not as 'well known' as some of the other so-called gurus but he offers good, down to earth, practical advice.

I have been reading his ezine and visiting his forum for years. He's one of those marketers I alway recommend to my lists - but judge for yourself by reading his article below:

Just as a side note - the days of spam may just be numbered! Microsoft, AOL and Yahoo are scrambling to put out new identity authentication software in their email clients or systems.

Basically, making sure 'who' is actually sending you an email. To read more on this subject try this CNN article:

Why didn't someone think of this before?

Actually, someone did! Revolution Email has been around for a while. I have been keeping my eye on it for some time.

Don't know if they will have the resources to be able to compete with the 'Big Boys' but I always root for the little guys.
