How to get more sales from your opt-in list (Part 2)

Here's another idea for using your TrafficWave autoresponder that will get results if you set it up right.  It's simple, effective and quite powerful.  This is something that you anyone can do.  Once you have your website up and running (which could even be a blog like this one!), you simply create a password-protected special/private area that has free giveaways in it - good, useful stuff like ebooks, ecourses, helpful software downloads, audio interviews, instructional videos, etc..  Then, as part of your autoresponder series, simply provide your new subscribers with a username and password to access this area on your site.  The kind of website or blog that I am talking about is one that is specifically tied to the theme of your AR series and the squeeze page ads that pull in subscribers for it.

Believe me when I tell you that there are plenty of excellent resources out there that you can get for Free, and then compile on your website.  Just tell your subscribers (via a 'welcome message' in the first letter of your AR series) thank you for subscribing and that you would like to reward them with access to some great freebies.  Again, there are plenty of great ebooks out there that you can customize with your own affiliate links.  There are dozens and dozens of them out there - same for re-brandable reports and/or articles.  A dedicated afternoon or evening with Google should produce more than enough material for you to use.  Of course, your subscriber website should have other money-making links and banners as well.  But keep these discreet and few.  Too many people ruin their sites by overloading them with this stuff. 

Remember to mention in your autoresponder welcome letter that this private site is FREE and exclusively available to your subscribers.  Try to arouse curiosity about it and give exact, idiot-proof exact instructions on how to use it.  Yes, this is work.  And yes, it might take a day or two out of your life to set it up... but it's worth it.  Trafficwave is a powerhouse MLM business all by itself.  But to get the most out of, you should be using the product to generate sales and commissions for you in a variety of ways.  And when it comes to list-building, the #1 thing you are trying to do is create loyalty.  To 'get', you must first give!  With loyalty comes higher open rates, more interaction with your subscribers and more back-end commissions.
