Subject: Welcome to BizWare Magic
Lesson #1

Hello,

Welcome to BizWareMagic.com. My name is Titus Hoskins and I am a full time online marketer.

What I will be doing in these lessons is showing you a very simple method of building your OWN opt-in list or ezine.

Other lessons will follow over the next couple of days that will contain all the information you need to get started on building YOUR LIST.

First, let's start with some basic questions.

What exactly is an opt-in list?

An opt-in list is simply a list of people (subscribers) who have opted-in to your ezine or contact list. These people have given you permission to contact them thru e-mail.

What is a targeted opt-in list?

A targeted opt-in list is the same as above but you are 'narrowing' or 'targeting' a certain group or subject area with your list. If you have a website on golfing you would want a list of 'golfers or doctors!' and not say 'Tibetan Monks' to market your products to.

What do they mean by double opt-in?

Just that; you opt-in twice. First, on the website when you place your name and e-mail address in the subscribe box. Second, when you click to confirm your subscription in the link that has been sent to the e-mail address you placed in the subscribe box.

Please Note, if you're operating in the USA - it's recommended that you have a double opt-in list because of the New Spam Laws that came on the books in 2004. (See The Bob Silber Link below to Read more on this.)

What is the difference between an opt-in list and an ezine?

An ezine is a more formal mailing, containing articles, tips, advice, etc. An e-mail magazine mailed daily, weekly, or monthly. An opt-in list is less formal - still offering tips, and advice but it's usually shorter and more 'time sensitive' i.e. mailed to announce a new product or program launch.

In Reality, most ezines are a hybrid of the two! An ezine owner will sometimes make a short time sensitive mailing to his ezine subscribers when a hot product or program is launched.

Why is having an opt-in list so important?

Many reasons...

Most marketers agree that it takes 5-7 follow-ups to get most customers to buy your product or offer. Therefore; creating an ezine or follow up list is very important to your bottom line.

Most marketers also agree - one of the 'surest' ways to earn an online income is through your own opt-in or email contact list.

How much - depends on the quality of your e-mails and the quality of the relationship you have built up with these leads.

You Should Know:

“69 percent of U.S. e-mail users have made purchases online after receiving permission-based e-mail marketing, 59 percent have purchased in retail stores, 39 percent have purchased through catalogs, 34 percent through call centers and 20 percent through postal mail."

Plus, "78 percent of those surveyed say they want to receive e-mail from their favorite online merchants." – Source: Doubleclick.com

Unless you already have an opt-in list and seen it's power - you will be very skeptical.

Actually, the contacts you make and keep in your 'list' system will be your business.

Yes, this is a business! The sooner you approach it as such the sooner you will reap the rewards.

Not only is it a business but it is perhaps the most important feature of your website or your online marketing. In other words IF you have a website or online business - you MUST have your own Opt-in mailing list or Ezine.

"...list building is basically about giving people valuable information by e-mail"

This information must be of some value and use to your subscribers. It must teach them some valuable information like how to build an opt-in list! The marketer, that's You! will earn money when you occasionally endorse a new product or business opportunity to your opt-in list.

By using their opt-in e-mail list, Marketers can create a consistent source of high income by cultivating their list. What do we mean by cultivating? Using your opt-in e-mail list to establish an ongoing relationship with your subscribers by helping them to succeed.

Credibility is the key to cultivating your list. Unless you can show what you're done, created or built - no one is going to follow you!

If there's one thing that I wish I'd learned when I first got started into Internet Marketing, it would be creating killer email promotions.
