Today’s Earning Online Tip – Never offer your bonuses on your thank you page

Today’s Earning Online Tip

Do YOU have a newsletter or ezine or product or 7 day free eclass or free report or …. (you get what I mean)?

If so, tell me now (without looking!):

Do you offer a bonus if people sign up?

And if so….WHERE is that bonus located?

I REALLY hope it’s not on your thank you page!!

You see, that nifty optin form your autoresponder service gives you…it enables you to send people to a Thank You page!

For example, check out a Welcome page that I’ll be testing:

See that nifty optin form?  When you optin, you’ll receive my free report 3 Crucial Challenges to a 6 Figure Income:

Now, if you view the source of that page, you’ll see my ThankYou page is

Thank You For Requesting The Material!

The code that does this is:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect"  value="http://www.barbaraling.com/6figthanks.html">

Now, ANYONE can view the source of my page to find the Thank You page…and if I offered the download ON that page, they could grab it WITHOUT opting into my list.

As a marketer, that’s not good for me at all!  I want to offer my hard-earned knowledge in exchange for building my list.

Thus…if you are offering a bonus to encourage someone to optin to your list, ALWAYS make certain to deliver on your promise in your FIRST MESSAGE BACK (thus ensuring people don’t bypass your optin form to grab your bonuses).  You’ll cut down on tire-kickers while at the same time building your list.

And that, of course, can only be described as a Very Good Thing indeed.  🙂

Enjoy,
