Give something away to grow the list and some will say your list quality will suffer. Personally, I think it can be done properly without hurting the list in the right niche and when well thought out. For example, I use to have a health product that I knew worked and worked well. I gave a free sample to let the customer try it out for themselves. Over seventy percent came back to place an order and many became long term customers. That only works if the product is good enough and renewable. A sale/coupon once in a while sent to the list would increase sales by over thirty percent on average. With that said, I've tried similar techniques on other products/lists with complete failure. .-= Brian D.

In my opinion a good bonus is the most powerful thing in the newsletter sign-up wars. I think that it is better to give a great first order discount and even to have zero income from this order than having 0 orders in future. So nourish and cherish your customer!

I have been using Aweber for 3 months now and only sold one eBook through an email, and spent 40 bucks on the service (first month free), I know that it is a numbers game though and I have managed to get close to 100 niche targeted emails...just need to make it profitable, which I really suck at - at the moment. .-= dave@home improvements´s last blog ..<a href="http://homeimprovementteam.com/how-to-fix-a-leaking-faucet">How To Fix a Leaking Faucet</a> =-.
