Your Free Optin Email List Building Techniques 11 - 20

The *Future Problems* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers the goals they will not accomplish if they don't subscribe to your ezine. You could tell them how not reading your information or content could cause future problems or make their life worse.

The *Prize Fest* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers what prizes they could win by subscribing to your ezine. You could tell them that you will randomly select a subscriber every week to get one of your products for free. Also, you could have them complete a certain action to be in the contest.

The *Las Vegas* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers how much money they could win by subscribing to your ezine. You could tell them that you will randomly select a subscriber every week to get a cash prize. You could have many cash prizes, like $100 for 1st place, $50 for 2nd place and $25 for 3rd place.

The *Fast Forward* Technique
Tell your current ezine subscribers to forward your ezine to their friends, family or associates. If they like it, they'll end subscribing too and forwarding it to their circle of acquaintances. It's a viral form of word-of-mouth marketing.

The *See It Everywhere* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers to subscribe on any page of your web site. You want to put your opt-in form or pop up on every page of your web site. The more times people see it, the higher the percentage of people will be who will subscribe.

The *Multiple Choice* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers they can choose between text, PDF or html format. People that like text may not want to subscribe to an ezine that just offers html. You can lose an awful lot of subscribers by not offering two or more options.

The *My Credentials* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers your business credentials. People don't want to optin to a list that doesn’t have the experience or authority to really give them the information they need and want. They just don't want an ad with every email.

The *Confidentiality Agreement* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers you will keep their subscription information confidential. People don't want you to share, rent, lease or sell their contact information. They want you to protect their privacy at all costs.

The *100 Percent Pure* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers your content is 100 percent original. People subscribe to a lot of lists that just publish articles that are found all over the Internet. If you can't always offer 100 percent original content, at least publish some once in a while to keep your subscribers loyal.

The *Look Who Is Here* Technique
Tell your potential subscribers about the famous, expert or reputable people who have subscribed to your ezine. Most people are followers rather than leaders. They want to model themselves after people they respect, admire and look up to. People will think your list must be good if so-and-so subscribed to it.
