And that is a good thing. Because those that remain are
serious prospects, people who are really interested in you, your product, your service. They are potential customers.
So here are ten reasons to go down a double opt-in route.
With double opt-in, you can
1. Attract
most interested, responsive target audience as subscribers
2. Gain respectability and professionalism for your ezine by behaving responsibly
3. Quickly establish a trusting relationship with readers
4. Ensure most subscribers will actually read your ezine, since they asked for it - twice
5. Enhance
value of your ezine to advertisers who can now reach receptive opt-in audiences
6. Improve
effectiveness of your ezine as a marketing vehicle for your own product and services
7. Have documented proof that subscribers asked to be included on your mailing list
8. Avoid mischievous people signing up someone else's email addresses for your ezine
9. Save yourself time and money otherwise spent handling complaints from angry 'subscribers'
10. Spare yourself
anxiety and anguish of being shut down by your ISP, or worse, legal action
For all these reasons and more, a double opt-in subscribing process is today's 'gold standard' for ethical and responsible ezine publishing.
Short cuts work in
short term. In
long run, however, quality and professionalism in your ezine publishing efforts will reap
greatest rewards.
Here are a few more resources that explain
most effective ways to grow your list quickly -- and ethically!
