A little known internet marketing strategy

by John Trayhorn on August 17, 2009

How many times have you signed up for someone‘s newsletter, and then see a message
like this:

“Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter – We will keep you updated on the latest internet marketing strategies and Business ideas”

The marketer is building a mailing list, yet is completely wasting the space 100% of people
that sign up to his newsletter will see. Think about the profits this person could be making,
if they had an offer on their newsletter signup "thank you pages".

This real estate is much more valuable than a space somewhere else on their
website (i.e. like a banner ad etc.)

This specific space is valuable because ONLY the people that have proven themselves to
be "action takers" are the ones that will see this page. Think about it. Someone that has
just willingly filled out an email opt-in form for more information on a specific subject is the
EXACT person that you should want seeing your offer for something related directly to that
subject.

You‘re going to be getting extremely targeted traffic directly to YOUR offer, should you
have the owner of this website add your offer to his newsletter signup "thank you page".

Alright, I‘m assuming that at this point we‘re in agreement that doing this would 100%
work and be extremely effective and valuable.

So, the questions that remain are:
1. Why would this person want to add your offer to their "thank you page"?
2. How would we find these people in the first place?
I‘ll address each question individually…

Why would this person want to add your
offer to their "thank you page"?

The answer is simple… When you approach these people, you wouldn‘t just say "Hey man,
add my offer to your thank you page and it‘ll make me a lot of money and help me build a
buyer list."

You would approach them and say something like…

"Hi, I just signed up to receive your xyz report or newsletter, and noticed
that after I signed up, your "thank you page" simply said ‚thank you for
subscribing. Check your email for the free report‘. I have a way that I
can guarantee you will make more money from every single subscriber
without you doing anything but spending about 5 minutes, 1 time, to set
up something on your ‚thank you page‘. I‘ve done this with several other
marketers and they‘ve all been very happy with the results. (obviously
only say that if it‘s true) I sell an eBook related to xyz, that is directly
related to what you teach in your report. It compliments it very well.
I sell the eBook for $29.95 on my website. I can give you some html
code to insert on your ‚thank you page‘. It will be a small little ad for
my eBook and will include your affiliate link. When someone signs up
for your newsletter, they‘ll see the ad for the eBook on the ‚thank you
page‘. They‘ll click it, purchase the eBook and you‘ll receive 75% commission
for every single person that does that. You do absolutely nothing
once this is set up. I‘ll even be happy to edit your ‚thank you page‘ for
you, if you don‘t have the time. As I said, I‘ve done this many times,
and it works very well and is a great way to increase the money you
make from your newsletter, without doing any extra work. Interested?"

As you can see, it‘s a complete win/win for both parties. You could even offer them
100% commission if you have a nice backend product in place, to make your money from
the process. Plus, by doing this, you‘re building a buyer list. A buyer list that you can sell
to, over and over again in the future.

What‘s awesome about this, is that there are literally hundreds of thousands of people that
have these newsletter optin forms on their websites, and simply have the generic "thank
you for subscribing" message on their "thank you pages".

It‘s unlimited as to the number of people‘s "thank you pages" you can put your offer on!
And once it‘s setup, it‘s 100% completely on auto-pilot. You don‘t have to worry about generating traffic etc. You simply let other people generate the traffic for you! What is easier
than that? :-)

Ok, so the second question is…

How would we find these people in the first place?

This is really easy…

Step 1: Go to Google and type in: topic name "your privacy is safe with us"
For example, if you sold an eBook on how to lose weight and wanted to find email newsletter
"thank you pages" you could add your eBook offer to, you would go to Google and type
in:
lose weight "your privacy is safe with us"

Why did we enter that phrase into Google. Because the phrase "your privacy is safe with
us" is a very common phrase that people put directly below their email optin forms. By inputting the phrase: lose weight "your privacy is safe with us", we‘re telling Google to return
web pages that contain the keyword "lose weight" and the phrases "your privacy is safe
with us" on the page.

There are a TON of other phrases that many people place directly below optin forms, but
this is the 1 example I wanted to use here.

If you know of other phrases, you could input those into Google and get an entirely new list
of sites!

Step 2: That‘s it… There is no step 2. Just input that phrase into Google and BAM, you‘ve
got your list of websites to contact.

Now, as we all know, time is limited, so simply starting with the top ranked site and moving
down is definitely not the best way to go about doing this.

Common sense tells us that it‘s best to start with the sites that are getting the most traffic,
and then work our way down the list.

There is also a way to automate this process! Download this free report and check it out here and get 2 other little known marketing strategies as well.
