How can you use this tool for zero cost & zero risk?

In some circles co registration is equivalent to a four letter word.

Everyone seems to have an opinion although many are divided on whether it’s a good or bad idea.

The truth?

Well from my perspective at least, co-registration is nothing more than a tool. Like a hammer or a spanner, it can be used to do great or dastardly deeds.

If you’re like most, you get signups from one place only:

Your site.

To get to the kind of list numbers you hear others bandy about, you need to use the power of leverage and get others to work with/for you.

Get other webmasters to get people to signup to your list - the more you enlist to help (and it’s a 2 way street as you will feed them with subscribers too), the faster your list grows.

That is all co registration is: Advertising for your list on other people’s websites.

The idea is, when visitors become subscribers on someone else’s site, they get the opportunity
at the same time (or soon after) to sign up for yours!

How is this done?

There are 3 basic ways:
1. Pay someone to collect signups for you.
2. Coreg exchange
3. Personal coregistration (My favourite)

1. Pay someone to collect sign ups.

This is the most prevalent.

You will have to contact a lead house, pay them an agreed upon fee (dependant on numbers you want) and they then put up advertising links for your list around the net.

They collect sign ups and provide them to you as a “lead list”.

A lead list usual comprises:
-Name
-email address
-the ip address (where the person in question signed up from)
-a timestamp (when the person signed up)

You then plug the details into your autoresponder and start sending them emails.

This is hands off as far as you’re concerned (apart from the import into your autoresponder).

Disadvantages are numerous:

*As there is a latency from lead registration to delivery, the person may have totally forgotten they agreed to signup to your list.

When you do email them, they cry foul and accuse you of spamming.

So make sure your leads are ALWAYS less than 30 days old if you use this route - the fresher the better.

*The next disadvantage is one of uniqueness. Often the lead you have paid for is shared with another list owner.

You can have exclusive “ownership” but for a premium.

The more times a lead is shared, the more likely they will cry SPAM.

*False emails are a fact of life. People signup to lists just to see what’s on the Thank You page. With lead houses, the info is not verified using double optin, so you get a lot of false leads.

You can get around this by paying for double optin leads - again at a premium.

2. The second popular method is to use is a coregistration exchange.

Similar to a banner exchange, except instead of rotating banners, they show a sign up form and rotate sign up forms for related websites - yours included.

This is a simple way to start with zero cost.

Now for the downsides:

*Some exchanges are not very well targeted. Your signup could be on a page totally unrelated to the kind of site you are trying to promote - result: very few signups.

*Like traffic and banner exchanges, you normally get a ratio of signups returned to you. Look for exchanges that give you a better rate of return for every signup you provide, get as many back from the exchange you can.

3. Personal co registration - my favourite.

Personal co registration is a co reg network you build personally.

You create joint ventures and exchange sign ups with other websites owners. It can take a little time to start but once it does, hold on!!!…

It can be hard to buid up if you are new. There are no limits on how big you can grow - NO LIMITS.

There are no “exchange ratios” and there is no time lapse between a coreg signup and addition to your list!

Plus - no sharing - you get exclusive leads.

Recommended Resource:

Floyd Fisher’s Coreg Master - this is the script I use, I highly recommend you purchase one yourself.

But…

Should you not want to dip your toe into purchasing right at this moment, how about I help build your list instead for FREE?

Interested?

Thought you might be

Now, I’ve got to put a couple of caveats up front:
1. I will do my best to add all requests to the coreg process I have setup. If you’re not added as quickly as you’d like, bear in mind you are in a queue and I will get to you in time
2. Your site must be “related” to one of the following subjects:
A. Internet Marketing/Business Building
B. Self Improvement
C. Astrology/New Age
D. eBooks / Publishing

As, the co-registration systems will be for the following websites:
www.pdqprospects.com
www.selfhelptips.com
www.fengshuiastrology.com
www.grabacoffee.com

3. No spamming - if you are found to spam at any point, you will be removed from the system.

4. Double optin - This is not mandatory but is preferred. You will have higher quality leads and
face less spam complaints.

So, all you need do for now is register your interest by signing up (double optin naturally)
to the following list - I’ll work through the signups on a first come, first served basis.

Conclusion

No matter which co-reg option you choose, you need to drive traffic to your sites in multiple ways:

• Articles
• Blogs
• Joint Ventures
• …

And most importantly, you need to concentrate on CONVERSION at every step - signup, follow up, back end.

There is no point filling a bucket with water if it gushes out of massive holes in the bottom after all.

All the best,
Tom
