1) Get your customers to trust you first. Just throwing a bunch of products at your list will not make you an expert and a believable seller. Prepare the way by writing articles or blogs on the subject of a particular problem that your product provides a solution. Write about topics you are familiar with and have used for your business. You can visit forums to gain knowledge about your customers wants, needs and problems. Target those wants, needs and problems. Give free information that offers solutions and your value increases with each helpful bit of information.
2) Join forums and make meaningful comments on competing sites. If your comments are helpful to others you will gain respect and a following from other members. Be sure to have a link to your site in your by line for people who like and appreciate what you have to say to follow to your site. Never be shy about asking other forum users to join your opt-in email marketing list.

If you offer solutions and not just opinions, you will gain a greater audience because you are valuable to them. If you have a product or service that provides an easy solution to their problem, then you will have more subscribers to your opt-in email marketing list and gain customers and increase your sales.
The certain truth is, the money will only flow when and if your subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that will be a worth the money. People are not going to buy something from your recommendation if they don’t know and trust you.
There is one axiom of marketing that you should keep foremost in your mind. It is very simple really, “Pain Sells.” People are very motivated to avoid pain. Do your research with this in mind and you will strike oil in that well. One of the most effective ways I have found to help people avoid pain is to offer them a way to make money online for free.
Building a profitable opt-in email marketing list does not happen overnight. There is much to do in preparation for presenting revenue generating ideas and products to your opt in list. Make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and view you as a source of valuable information and they will be willing to buy from you when you, the expert, present solutions to their problems.
