THE OPT-IN OFFER: YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET

Converting web visitors into customers is rarely completed during the website visit, but by crafting an irresistible opt-in offer and following up with e-mail messages designed to build rapport and a relationship with the prospects, conversion rates of 15 to 25 percent (and sometimes greater) can be achieved.

Naturally, if they have constructed a series of follow-up autoresponder e-mails effectively, they could conceivably amass considerable monthly revenues from their website.
