Use Lead Blogging to Get 60,000 Double Opt-ins
Earlier this week, I talked about Lead Blogging and I proclaimed that “ Lead Blogging is the Answer.” In that post, I introduced you to Aaron Abber over at the make money blogging site FullTiltBlogging, and promised a reprint of one of his posts on Lead Blogging. In this post, Aaron show you a screen shot of his 60,000 subscriber list over at Aweber.
Lead Blogging: Turning Opportunity into Leads
Luck and leadblogging favor the prepared.
Last week I noticed a new blog post over at Aweber.com. Nothing earth shattering, but it dealt with a topic I am intimately acquainted with— getting people to subscribe to email lists then confirm their subscription. In fact, before I sold my online business last year I had captured almost 60,000 double opt-in subscribers ( click here for screen shot of my account.)
So I went over and left a comment about how I get over 15% of first time visitors to subscribe and over 90% of those people to confirm their subscription.
I figured making that comment would generate some visitors and subscribers.
But then I had a brainstorm—why not put the actual codes into an eBook and offer it for download? I figured I could capture more subscribers.
So that’s what I did. I created this “subscriber trap” to capture email address from my visitors:

All in all it took about two hours to set up and has resulted in 183
email submissions (so far) on 312 visits—for a whopping 58.7%
conversion rate from visitor to subscriber.
That’s pretty cool.
In next week’s leadblogging
post I will tell you about how I got a 95.2% confirmation rate from
those visitors, and how I will turn those into $4,209.00 in cash. That
means it it paid me about $2,104.50 an hour. Stay tuned.

I’m just getting ready for an aweber purchase. Just checking and making sure I am ready and finding the time to set up my direction for all my lists.
This whole thing sounds a little dubious but interesting. The claims are amazing and if true probably worth a look, I guess!

I’ve been getting to know Aaron recently. He has lots of experience and good ideas. I am learning some very cool stuff from him, and I will be posting about my lead blogging experiences. I will keep you updated.
Thanks,
Mark
