Let me warn you that this is not the easiest technique to implement but it's far worth the effort. I developed this technique myself after I studied other list building techniques by the experts.

You know when you sign up for a list using a form on someone's website and then you get redirected to another page which usually has a few words telling you your submission was successful?

That redirect page is prime opportunity for real profits and many people actually have no clue how to utilize it. The easiest way to win the hearts of your subscribers before they even get your first email is to offer them a surprise gift.

Most ezine publishers simply have a thank you message. You can really profit from this fact. You simply email the publisher and tell him that you can improve his relationship with his subscribers and even make him some money by changing his thank you redirect page.

You then write a highly informative article that pertains to the topic of the ezine. It's best to target the information to the publisher's subscribers. Then you offer a free ebook. A book that you either wrote yourself or that allows giveaway rights.

Make the page a minisalesletter for the ebook. You will put an opt in form on that page so people can sign up to get the ebook. The web is set up in a way so that people go from link to link in a continuous and smooth flow of actions. What happens in most cases when people sign up for an ezine or list is the continuous flow is abruptly halted.

The visitors are forced to think about where they want to go next on their web session. If you provide a profitable solution for ezine publishers, and point out how profitable changing their thank you redirect page is, they'll graciously accept your proposition.

Contact a handful of high trafficked sites and you'll be up to 100 subscribers a day like me. For additional profits for yourself and your joint venture partner, on your thank you redirect page, offer a product for a steep discount and make it known to the visitors that they will not get the special price again.

If you don't have your own product, there are tons of sites that offer resell packages of products. Group a number of those products into your own package and sell the package for a steep discount. Beware of the rules of resell for each product though or else you can get yourself in a lot of trouble.

Say I was doing a joint venture with an ezine publisher who's ezine is for webmasters and people who sell digital information products. I would create a resell package of products that prevent digital product theft.

I would then create an affiliate program for that package and give 75% profit to my joint venture partner. You can set up an account to sell products through Clickbank.com for $50. They will pay your affiliates for you.

Now why 75%? You're building your list which is much more important than losing a few dollars in commission. You're still making 25% and building your list at lightning speed.

Let's summarize what's going to happen in the whole system for your visitors. People come to your joint venture partners' websites and sign up for their ezine. The visitors get redirected to your minisalesletter which contains an article relevant to the visitors.

When they see how good the information is, they will opt in for your list. They then get redirected to a special offer page for your resell package. When they buy, your joint venture partner gets 75% of the selling price.

In turn, you get to build your list at record pace so that you can sell them backend products. Go sign up for a bunch of ezines and check out their thank you redirect page now to look for joint venture partners.
