Actually this list building tips are Really little known to most people and i have tested them myself.
So action it’s an important part of the equation and you need to Action them in your Business right now.
Pure Actionable content here. And i give examples also.
- Having a Long Video on Your Landing Page Will Decrease Your Landing Page Conversion. You Need an Attention Grabing Headline a Call to Action to get Your Free Report or Video and the Signup Form in Order to Optin. I have Seen 60% conversion Rate on Optin Pages Like This.
- Using WordPress to Make Your List Building Landing Pages is Essential. There are many tools you can use to create a Landing Page on WordPress. You get many benefits from this. Easily Edit and Make a Professionally Done Landing Page with Tools Like Optimize Press and Other Themes and Plugins.By deploying your landing pages with WordPress you will also get the SEO Benefit because Google Loves WordPress and it is fully loaded with SEO in Mind so you don’t need to think about Complicated CSS and Page Semantics.
- Actually Having a Series of Pages (3 or more) of Useful Content Increases Your Landing Page Conversion.This is a tricky one. If you want to filter out people and qualify them then this is the best way to build a list and growing a long term online business. I have tested this method and it is incredible. You get optin rates as high as 84% !!!It is crazy i know but it is true. People read content on one page and you leave a “Cliff Hanger” to continue reading. (Check it out in action here) And that way the Zelgarnik Effect kicks in and we have curiosity to continue reading. Also Robert Cialdini Talks about this in more detail in his book influence. When we take one action we are committed and we more easily comply to continue in that path.So at the end extreme optin conversions appear and high quality subscribers get in your list. Also Look at this model From the 20 Million Dollar Per Year Sales Page
- Setting Up Your Autoresponder Account to Single Optin. I have tried both double optin and single optin and i have Talked About that in the Past. Single Optin is more profitable because you get a lot more people in your email list. And you won’t have any problem if you provide quality content and not just promotion after promotion. If you send copy paste emails to your subscribers then that’s another story and i can’t promise that you will get spam complaints and all that. Singles optin is the way to go because you don’t delay the buying process or the pre sale process and that’s why you will make more money with single optin. You reach more people and if you get a relationship with them with good content, like podcasts and videos of yourself in the camera or screen flow videos you are good to go.
- Creating A Soap Opear Sequence in Your Autoresponders.Nobody talks about this and it’s a Valuable form of communication that shares a story and you don’t give the story all in one swoop. You give it like in 3 or more messages to your subscribers so that they can get excited and grasp the specific part of the story at a time. Just like a good Episode of 24 or Lost the have Cliff Hangers that get you excited and thinking for what’s next.Also stories are critical to creating a relationship with your list and selling to them. So you also want to make money from your list building efforts. Do things differently.

– Dan Kennedy - Outsource Anything You Don’t Want To Do or Know How To Do. Focus. You need to build your list and do what you are good at. Don’t wait to have that long 30 Page report ready until you have the mind power and inspiration to finish the Report. Get Help from someone that enjoys Writting and give the task to him or her. I had a Report waiting for me to finish and until i payed a measly $30 dollars to get the report done fast and easily i now have a product that makes me money 24/7.If you don’t know how to setup a Landing Page and paste Aweber Code on there, then OUTSOURCE IT. ASAP.
- You Need a Blog an Build Your List. I have Talked about the Authority Plataformand really a blog can be a very good way to build your list. You interact with you readers and you can syndicate all that content from your blog to various places on the web. It’s the only place on the internet that you Own. You don’t own your Facebook Page, or Your Twitter Account. They can shut you down any minute and you are sure your blog it’s you home.Get an editorial calendar setup for your blog. Schedule what topic your are going to talk about on your blog and at what date.The Hour of Content Creation and Posting.Get Organized and this Blogging thing will not be difficult.If you don’t want to write get someone to contribute to your blog, or syndicate their existing content. So Create a Blog and Build Your List creating Pilar Articles.
Also you can use your blog as a Launch Pad for projects of your own, getting the pulse of the market on what they want and not what you think your customers want.
Now it’s the time to take action on your own business.

Hey Jorge!
I definitely agree that single optin is the way to go. At one point, I had 200 unconfirmed subscribers that would never see my message. Since using single optin only a few emails bounce here and there so its definitely worth it!
Also, having a longer video (that is also to the point) will of course decrease the conversion rate, but those who watch the whole video and still subscribe are naturally going to be a higher quality subscriber. Like I said, the video should be very concise, but can be even 5 minutes long. Video, when done right, can be very powerful!
Thanks for the awesome post!

Hey Gabriel
Thanks for sharing your experiences with single optin.
I remember when everybody was using video squeeze pages or reverse squeeze pages that shared a lot of content and then you opted in.
Those don’t work now so everybody uses no video at all, or a short to the point video, like Brendon Burchard and Others do.
It all depends in what you want in your optin funnel.
Qualify your prospects or get as much as possible.
Definitely!
I don’t know why I forgot to say this, but I actually have a really great free offer only asking for the email, then provide good content and then have another squeeze asking for name email and phone number.
This way, I can get in front of practically everyone and sort out the serious people, the potentially serious people, and the freebie seekers.
Also, your number 2 tip about Wordpress landing pages is awesome and I am testing out some SEO techniques on my page optimized for a particular keyword. I can let you know how that goes.
Thanks again,
