10 Opt-in Email List Building Tips

Before you can get people onto your list, you need to find effective ways to drive traffic to your squeeze page where they can sign up. On top of that, you must have a valuable giveaway that they just can't do without. Once you have these two elements in place, your list will grow rapidly.

Here are 10 opt-in email list building tips to get you started:

1. Build a squeeze page with an irresistible, value-packed giveaway. To make it successful, use highly relevant bullet points and pique your visitor's curiosity so that they want to sign up. Done well, a good squeeze page can easily convert at 50% or higher.

2. Locate high-traffic social media sites in your niche and comment on posts that relate to your squeeze page offer. Put yourself in front of those who are most likely to appreciate and need your product. Convince them that you have the answers they seek and they will gladly sign up to receive more of your valuable advice.

3. Use article marketing to attract webmasters who are looking for relevant content. You can post your articles in article directories and wait for people to find them. Or you can find popular, high-ranking sites in your niche and contact the webmasters directly and offer your articles for their use. Be sure your articles contain an enticing invitation and link to your opt-in form.

4. Participate in giveaway events. This is an excellent opportunity to leverage the marketing efforts of everyone involved in these events. Make sure people have to visit your landing page and sign up to get your product.

5. Locate marketers in your niche who have a sizeable list. Strike up a deal to swap promotions for your squeeze pages. This method will get you loads of traffic and build a relationship that will benefit both of you for years to come.

6. Invite your current subscribers to promote your free offer for a small financial return per subscriber they send your way. Think of it as the price of advertising, which would cost you far more.

7. Use PPC to drive traffic to your opt-in form quickly. Your ad will work best if it promises a benefit and has an element of curiosity.

8. Utilize paid to click services to build your list. If your giveaway is relevant and in demand, you will add subscribers quickly.

9. When someone buys from you, send them directly to an opt-in form where they can register for upgrades or just to complete their order. This works well, since they have already agreed to buy from you and will readily fill in the form.

10. Begin a viral marketing campaign. Create a product with your squeeze page links inside and encourage people to pass it around. Offer it to your list members, have your friends and business associates pass it on to their list members, and post it on free book sites.

These 10 list building methods work extremely well. Use them all or combine your favorites and you will grow a quality list quickly.

World's first 256 GB USB Flash drive

Kingston has revealed the world's first 256 gigabyte USB flash drive, the DataTraveler 300.

Offering a capacity equal to 54 DVDs or 365 CDs, the DataTraveler 300 is a convenient method of storing large amounts of data without the need for large external hard drives and a mass of wires.

Files can be written to the flash drive at a rate of 20 megabytes per second (MB/sec) and read at 10MB/sec, allowing for access to files and applications straight from the USB stick.

Packaged in a durable yet lightweight shell, the DataTraveler 300 features a retractable USB connector and a reinforced key ring hole.

Users storing sensitive or vital data can also use Password Traveller software for Windows alongside Vista ReadyBoost to ensure protection of key files.

The DataTraveler offers plug-and-play connectivity via USB 1.1 or 2.0 and comes with a five-year warranty.

Up to 90% of the drives content can be password protected and conveniently accessed due to the new Password Traveler software. No administrator rights are required. Fast transfer speeds guarantee smooth data flow to your host device.

256 GB of data, allows you to store:

  * 10 Blu-ray discs (~25 GB each)
  * 54 DVD discs (~4.7 GB each)
  * 365 CD discs (~700 MB each)

Features/Specifications:

  * Capacity1 — 256 GB
  * Speed 2 — Data transfer rates of up to 20MB/sec. read and 10MB/sec. write
  * Safeguarded — includes Password Traveler security software for Windows
  * Convenient — does not require Administrator rights to access the Privacy Zone
  * Dimensions — 2.78" x 0.88" x 0.65" (70.68 mm x 22.37 mm x 16.45 mm)
  * Operating Temperature — 32° to 140° F (0° to 60° C)
  * Storage Temperature — -4° to 185° F (-20° to 85° C)
  * Simple — just plug into a any 1.1 or 2.0 USB port
  * Practical — durable, capless design
  * Guaranteed — five-year warranty
  * Enhanced — for Windows ReadyBoost™ on Vista-based systems 3
  * Compatibility Table

As always, cutting edge tech isn’t cheap: the “Buy” links in Kingston’s website all come up empty, so its quite probable that the Data Traveler 300 is not available yet, but Hardware Sphere and Gizmodo both claim that the flash disk will sell for about $900 (USD). For comparison’s sake, you can get a 320 GB external hard drive for about $70. Even Western Digital’s 4 TB My Book external hard drive is much cheaper at $700. But I guess there are people who are willing to pay for the small form factor.

World's Fastest Computer Gets Underway

A supercomputer named Novo-G described by its lead designer as likely the most powerful computer of its kind in the world became operational this week at the University of Florida.

Novo-G gets the first part of its name from the Latin term for “make anew, change, alter,” and the second from “G” for “genesis.” A “reconfigurable” computer, it can rearrange its internal circuitry to suit the task at hand. Applications range from space satellites to research supercomputers — anywhere size, energy and high speed are important, said Alan George, professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of UF’s National Science Foundation Center for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing.

Traditional computers use so-called “fixed logic devices” to perform a large variety of tasks. But this jack-of-all-trades approach requires a substantial amount of overhead in space and energy, no matter what work needs to be done. On the other hand, special-purpose computers can be built to perform certain tasks very well but are not flexible.

Reconfigurable computers make the best of both worlds, George said. That is because they can rearrange their internal circuitry like Lego blocks, creating the most appropriate architecture for each assignment. As a result, a reconfigurable computer can be from 10 to 100 times faster than other computers its size while using five to 10 times less energy.

Although the concept has been proven, reconfigurable computers remain at the research stage and are not easy to use. One of the main goals of the NSF Center is to pioneer techniques to make reconfigurable computers more accessible.

“It is very powerful technology, but it is also very complicated technology,” George said. “We don’t want this important technology to be accessible only to experts.”

UF has three partner universities in its reconfigurable computing center — Brigham Young University, George Washington University and Virginia Tech — as well as about 30 industry and government partners. The center was founded in 2007.

Till now I haven't gotten pictures of this thing but I will soon get my hands on it.

To sum up. This Florida people are making the world's fastest computer and one of it is already on the run. Next, this thing is damn fast. Our Jukeboxes would not stand a chance even if you think of increasing the RAM and all those upgrades available because if you would get a hand on it, then Floridans would already hire you and you would be in a Limo right now.

This guys also want to make it available to common people, thats us though, what the..what are they??

This beauty has some transformers kind of reconfiguring capability which I thought that there was nothing on earth that complex.

In short I didn't understand it too much but thats the fastest computer we mere earthling's have got right now.
