DR.Mani's Get-'Em Program - Tips To Grow Your List In Just Seven Hours Part 4

GET-EM : THE FIFTH HOUR

Ever heard of the Boy Scout's motto ? Be prepared. It applies to you too. Many things need to be checked now, before you start getting a response to your offers.

Keep a copy of the welcome letter you send out to new subscribers of your list handy. Re-write it if necessary. As and when the list owners reply positively to your joint venture proposal, you must add their information into the welcome letter. This avoids delays, and spaces out your workload.

Inform your current list members about the forthcoming addition of the new section on OTHER EXCELLENT LISTS THEY SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO. Preparing them in advance for this new feature will build up eagerness and curiosity, and this translates into a higher response rate. Create a new template for your ezine or list to accomodate this section.

Prepare to accept payments for any ad referrals from your joint venture. Ideally, you need to be able to accept credit card payments online. Having other methods to receive payments is an added bonus. However, you could manage by asking the advertiser to snail mail a check to you - but this will lose you some potential advertisers.

GET-EM : THE SIXTH HOUR

Boy, aren't you tired after doing all this hard work? Thought you could now stop even THINKING of this Joint Venture thing for another week or so, right?

WRONG

The mail will come flooding in. If your offer is attractive enough, you will get atleast a 50% response rate. Many of these list owners will have already taken up your ideas, and made the changes you are still thinking and talking about. For instance, within a day of sending out my first offer letter, three ezine owners had included my short write-up in their list's welcome letter. I couldn't delay adding their information on my welcome note any longer without seeming selfish and insincere.

So get prepared to make changes to your existing structure atleast once daily. For the next few days. Until the mail in response to your offer stops pouring in. And of course, that means it is time to send the offer again to the next batch of prospects !
