Does anyone have opinions as to whether or not asking for an email prior to forwarding to the pith page is a good idea for the sake of faster list building? For example making the index say something like "enter your email address to get your free info on whatever sent straight to your inbox" and then have a thank u page saying to check their inbox to confirm their subscription and immediately forward them to pith page while your autoresponder forwards them a free info pack as well? Or something to that effect...I have seen this done before. Just wondered if anyone has experience with this or opinions?
A lot of affiliates won't promote products that have a forced opt-in like that. However many affiliates will. Personally I'd rather get eyeballs onto the sales copy sooner rather than later, so my products don't include a forced opt-in.
Yeah you are likely to put some affiliates off if this is all you offer, you could offer it as an option, or use it yourself for list building - I am all about list building, but perhaps a totally closed off system like this is a step too far imo.
Hate it and won't promote it.....I'd at least like to guarantee that traffic I send gets to see the sales page
Good info thank u. Do u think I should take all optin stuff out entirely? My goal is to please all affiliates. I don't know if it depends on the offer or what. The one I am referring to is WWW.videogamegodfather.com. I appreciate all of your opinions and means a lot since you guys seem to be actual affiliates.
If you are really interested in list building, you may offer a gift like a free report to those who willing optin. Just put it at one side of your main page. Do not force people to sign up.
