DR.Mani's Get-'Em Program - Tips To Grow Your List In Just Seven Hours Part 5

GET-EM : THE SEVENTH HOUR

So now that you've gone through all the steps discussed earlier, what should you be doing next ?

Tracking your response rates.

What does this mean ? Well, you've put in a lot of time and effort into this Joint Venture. So you should now determine how this has affected your bottom line.

* How many new subscribers did you get ?

* Where did they come from ? Which list netted the most ?

* Which ad worked best ? You should try different ad copy to see which pulls best.

* How many new advertisers wanted to place ads on your list ?

* How did your present list members react to the new changes ? Ask them. You don't want to antagonize and/or lose them !

There are many ways to do this tracking.

1. One way is to direct new subscribers to a distinct web page for each Joint Venture partner list. For instance, if the URL at which people subscribe to your list is

http://www.mylist.com/subscribe.htm

then you can set up separate (similar) pages and name them

http://www.mylist.com/subscribe1.htm

http://www.mylist.com/subscribe2.htm

and so on, and give each Joint Venture list a unique site to subscribe at.

2. Set up a brief form or questionnaire on your subscription site and ask new subscribers where they found out about your list.

3. Code the subscribe email address with a unique identifier for each Joint Venture. For instance, your subscribe email link would look like this:

mailto:drmani@vsnl.com?subject=subscribe-JV1

mailto:drmani@vsnl.com?subject=subscribe-JV2

and so on for each separate JV list

And what to do next ?

Well ..... Laughing all the way to the bank isn't such a bad idea, now, is it ?!
