  internet marketing *master* "terry dean" says..

"large jump in additional profits for web gold"

"in testing, our web site itself averages 25% sign-ups per unique visitor for the ezine. with the additional pop-up box provided by opt-in lightning, we've been able to get that number up to 35% of the unique visitors. this is going to create a large jump for us in additional profits for the web site... since each subscriber to our ezine is worth $5 a year or more, it makes the software a very good deal in the long run."
terry dean - bizpromo.com

"$400.00 profit in 3 days with optin lightning"

"already got 3 people on the list the first 20 minutes it was installed! my word, you won't believe this brian... the first follow-up subscriber i got had just ordered the ezinetactics package through the initial follow-up response! at the start of january, i wasn't even sure if ezinetactics.com was going to survive very much longer. in the first 3 hours, i've had 47 visitors and 5 of them added themselves to my list. that's a 1:9 ratio! more incredibly, i received 2 sales yesterday from the initial followups sent to my 5 subscribers. optin lightning more than paid itself off in 3 hours! today, i received 5 sales as a result of the followups, and i just run a small site. imagine the profit potential for a larger site!!"

     why optin lightning?

who's behind optin lightning?

optin lightning was built from the ground up, currently being passed back and forth to 4 very experienced programmers, one with a masters in computer science. "team lightning" thought of every single feature an internet marketer could ever pray for, and not only implemented it, but coded tons of error checking and beta tested it for over 3 full months on different servers before release to ensure that it was virtually bug free.

click here to check out some cool videos that teach you how to use oil.

we really mean lightning speed

optin lightning has already been "put through the paces". remember, the backbone of this new technology is php, so it doesn't have the "bog down" effect of perl based email software. it will send out mail on a dedicated server at a rate of 500,000 emails within a 6 hour period. on a shared server or "low-budget server", it will send mailings out at an average of 40,000 emails per hour, depending on current shared server load of course.

another nifty send feature only optin lightning has is that once you hit the "mail prospects" button, it calls up the database and will send the mailing out to your entire lead list, even if you happen to get disconnected from your isp or even if you hit cancel.

multiple subscription methods

unlike many optin solutions, optin lightning offers the ultimate in versatility for attracting subscribers. i'm going to cover all 3 of these methods right now.

"several reasons pop-up email capture will change the way people manage optin lists for the good and why we have no doubt popup email capture will become the standard within 2-3 years for managing optin lists!"

reason #1 10x as easy to subscribe once you visit this site or any other site optin lightning is installed on, you'll notice that it captures the visitors email address without them having to fill out a form. this is known as auto info-capture or popup email capture. this makes it 10x easier for people to subscribe to your list! obviously, the easier you make it for people to subscribe the quicker your list builds. it's at least 1,000% easier to click an 'ok' button than to fill out your name and email address on a form. just think about it!

reason #2 capture 12x as many subscribers these are not imaginary prefabricated numbers. we have plenty of references available on request that are our customers that will verify this to you. people that were averaging one subscriber per day are now averaging 12. people that were getting 5 subscribers each day are getting 50-60 subscribers each day. this is nothing short of incredible.

reason #3 capture only "real" emails when you use optin lightning, you capture the email address from the visitors client browser. the ratio of hotmail and yahoo addresses is practically zero. the few hotmail or yahoo addresses you do capture are the ones they configured in their browser, and will go right into their main inbox anyway instead of them having to retrieve them over the web. what this means is your list will pack 8x the "pull ratio" of any other list.

let me give you an example using the a+ marketplace. when i had just 5,100 subscribers, i made 81 big dog ebook sales within one weekend and got over 550 hits throughout the week. this kind of "pull" for a list with 5,100 subscribers is absolutely unheard of! i send out a mailing every friday night to my a+ marketplace subscribers. i still get sales and hits the following thursday, 6 days later! in fact, my "small" list of 5,100 subscribers has provided me with over $3,100.00 in monthly income within 10 weeks, just by sending out mailings once each week. this software will be the primary reason i'll be well within the 6 figure income range by the end of this year.

reason #4 protects your list from pollution why is this you ask. because when you use a regular or "traditional" subscribe box, you subject your list to what i call "pollution". what i mean is, nothing is stopping people from populating your list with ffa confirmation email addresses, autoresponders, yahoo and hotmail addresses and just general junk! if you ever decide to run solos or sell advertising, your subscribers will get angry as your list grows because they will expect their ads they paid good money for to pull more.

using the old method over time will hurt your business. this is why terry dean and other internet marketing experts all agree that ezines that get larger lose all or most of their pull, and now you know why. but it gets worse.. someone using the traditional subscribe method can put all their friends, relatives and so called "associates" on your list, subjecting you to spam complaints. this is called "list bombing" and by using popup email capture only, you will avoid this completely.

we are thoroughly convinced that by avoiding these problems from the start, you'll slowly and steadily grow a solid clientele hungry for your products and services. ask lee benson, shelley lowery, ian herculson, host4profit, teresa williams, diane hughes, joe bellshaw and almost every serious internet marketer that endorses optin lightning.

here's an example screenshot of the popup email capture box..

optin lightning popup box

subscription box - with optin lightning, you can also place a subscription box on your site and have visitors subscribe this way, like most people are currently doing already. here's an example of mine that you may test out now!

free newsletter:
   powered by optin lightning
name:  
email:  


sending blank email - if you're using optin lightning, people may subscribe to your newsletter by simply sending a blank email to subscribe@yourdomain.com. this way, you can write articles and have people get on your list by simply sending a blank email. try it..

subscribe@garvinweb.com

please note: if you used one of the subscription methods, you'll already be in the database as a "subscriber". i mean, you may only subscribe once under each email address. also, a visitor will only see the popup box once per visit. if they happen to surf around your site, they won't see the popup again whether they elect to subscribe or not. however, if the user logs off and logs on again, they'll see it regardless of whether they are a subscriber. as you use optin lightning, you'll find that there are great places to use the popup box and greater places to use the ordinary subscribe box. the limit is your imagination.

60 character autowrap

one of the most annoying pet peeves of mine when i'm reading an email is to have to scroll to the right to read the text. seriously, how many times has this happened to you? good news! optin lightning has a built in 60 character autowrap feature. this can be easily altered to 90 or 50 characters, it's totally up to you. as some email clients will start to scroll, optin lightning is "dummy proof", so all the messages you send will automatically be properly formatted. no other script in the world i'm aware of does this!

manual unsubscribe feature

if someone wants off the list and forgets to remove themselves, you can enter any email address in the remove box in the admin panel, and the prospect will be instantly removed, and the entire mysql database automatically updated. also, the rsd code will update to reflect one less subscriber. you can also personalize the unsubscribe emails a.k.a. departing message as illustrated in the demo panel. this way, no matter how they unsubscribed, whether they did it themselves or you did it, they'll receive their departing message automatically.

rsd (remote subscribe display) code

rsd code is just java script code you can paste anywhere on your site that lets visitors know *exactly* how many optin subscribers you have. you can always get an updated number by refreshing the page it's on. here's sample rsd code below for the list i run. if for example, you came back tomorrow and refreshed the page, you would see the number below change.

a+ marketplace currently has currently has 48549 subscribers!

we didn't just create this feature for kicks. there are two reasons to have this code. the first reason is, as your list builds, you can do ezine swaps with owners of lists about your size or people you know. the other is to scientifically test your mailings. when you mail out information to your list members, you want to know how many unsubscribers you have and how many you lose after a mailing. this is a super way to test what content your subscribers love and what they hate, so you don't ever send out distasteful information again.

rsd is a feature i love. i love booting up the computer and watching that number grow on my list each day. it's nice knowing i can mail information to more and more of them.

easy to use demo panel

check out the demo panel before you read about the added features! i've exchanged the buttons for images and disconnected the database feature, but you'll get the drift of it's ease of use and plain simplicity after a quick look "under the hood".

26 followup autoresponders!

oh yes, we forgot to mention that optin lightning has a built-in autoresponder that performs 26 followups! that's right, our new version offers 26 autoresponders instead of 9, and allows you to set the intervals for more than one day. for example, you can set them to go off 7 days apart and follow-up with prospects for 6 months instead of just 9 days like the older version. you can even run an ezine without being present. you can send out a series of "free reports" or even a "free course" or tutorial as an incentive to attract subscribers with optin lightning! simply enter the text you want in each of the followup boxes, and at 1:00a.m. each day (the time of your hosting service), each of the 26 followup autoresponders will go out to the prospects and the intervals you specify. set as many or few of these as you'd like.

another feature to note is you can now reset all your subscribers to start getting followups again. just reset the followup sequence and you'll put all your subscribers on it right from the beginning.

send only personalized emails

whether you send out the mail manually, use the initial followup feature or the 9 subsequent followups, you'll be able to completely personalize each email you send to your prospects.

confirmation of mailing

also, you'll even get an "admin" confirmation email after you send a mailing to your prospects letting you know all your prospects have successfully received an email from you.

hold unlimited subscribers

since optin lightning is a high-end, database driven application, there is no limit to the number of subscribers you collect using optin lightning. it will hold 10,000,000 without a problem.

import feature

there are two methods you may use to import your current mailing list, no matter how large it may be! you can import the email addresses by themselves, or you can import the names and email addresses together. if you import just the email addresses, then the personalization feature in the follow-up sequence will simply address the new subscriber as "friend".

also, when importing, you won't lose any subscribers because the initial welcome email doesn't go out to them. if you have a current list, this allow for a completely seamless transition without your current subscribers even knowing you switched to optin lightning.

anti flame "proof system"

optin lightning is the first system to proudly boast this feature. if you ever have any angry subscribers that claim they never subscribed to your mailing list, just enter their address in the "anti-flame" proof box located at the bottom of the demo panel. this gives the entire ip feed, not just the address. here's a blurry screenshot but you get the point..

ip address proof

if the subscriber reports you to your isp or host, just copy that and paste it in an email to them, and that's definitive proof they indeed subscribed to your list.

almost all companies charge, optin lightning pays you!

optin lightning pays you a referral fee of 30% putting money in your pocket.

even pay for your hosting

optin lightning is 100% compatible with host4profit. so if you go with them, you can refer 3, get hosting free, and have optin lightning working on your site without paying monthly fees on that either. you'll have a complete business that's getting bigger and stronger without the recurring expense! that's what we call the perfect business!

other marketing considerations

do you know what's so great about optin lightning? once you set it up, you can collect subscribers from places you can't with any other optin solution such as..

  • ebooks
  • ebay auctions
  • free sites
  • other sites
  • other newsletters
  • your own site
  • newsgroups, discussion groups, etc..
all the major source code can be running from one centralized source. however, the source code you copy and paste on your html pages can be used just about anywhere. this allows for unheard of possibilities such as collecting subscribers from other websites, other newsletters and more! you can literally have optin lightning working 24/7/365 collecting subscribers for you remotely from thousands of websites without you doing a thing.

confirming subscriptions

after someone subscribes to your mailing list, they'll receive a confirmation email via autoresponder. this confirmation email can be customized via the control panel. also, "mail bombing" is impossible, because if someone attempts to subscribe multiple email addresses, they will do so under the same ip address which can be traced back to the individual attempting the bombing. you can simply print out a copy of the violator from the mysql control panel. here's what part of mine looks like running from a host4profit server:


viewing your mysql database

whether your list is 15 or 15 million, at least if you're with host4profit, you'll be able to view the "fullname", "email", the "which" field which represents which day of the autoresponder sequence the user's at, the "senddate" that is time represented as a strange number which is simply php time and finally the "proof" field which is the entire ip feed of the user. each page starts after 30 users. this program will generate all the pages as you can subscribers.


complete setup instructions

please don't be intimidated by installing the script. we offer an extremely detailed installation manual that will explain each and every aspect of setting up this software on your server. i am also recommending technical support specialists that will install this for you for $50.00 - $100.00, depending on time involved. these are reliable people who guarantee their work.

making back-ups

making back-ups of your prospects with optin lightning isn't hard at all. the file is simply an '.sql' file. you can easily back this up to your floppy or hard drive.

"quick reference" feature

at the bottom of the demo panel, i've even included a feature where you can view the email addresses of all your subscribers in alphabetical order. this feature will come in handy when you don't feel like logging into your control panel but wanted to verify if a specific email address that is on your list for whatever reason. this drop-down list is "connected" to the mysql database. if your list starts getting too big, this feature can easily be removed by simply deleting a little block of code heavily commented with comment tags so you can't miss it.

maintain total list control

maintaining total control of your list is the most important aspect of managing a list. total control is the *key* phrase. no online optin service can give you that. heaven forbid the server crashes, simply upload the '.sql' backup file and your back in business. sure, you may lose a day or even a week of subscribers, but that's nothing compared to the chaos you're company would encounter if you put your list at the mercy of another company, and you were accused of "spam" or their "server crashed" or they were a fly-by-night and went "out of business" or any myriad of other reasons. this would be a company nightmare to say the least. with a backup, that '.sql' file is a physical file you own. no one can take this away from you.

depending on your list size and company profile, your optin list can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. would you take this much cash, leave it at another companies headquarters and walk away? this is exactly what you would be doing using a service.

prospect removals

if a prospect on your list is requesting to be removed and they never forwarded you their subscriber email address, simply enter their email address in the "manual prospect removal system" located in the demo panel. this will remove them from your list.

also, when someone removes themselves from your list (at any time), whether it's from the initial welcome message, an autoresponse or a manual mailing, they just click a link that's automatically generated from the bottom of each and every mail sent out, and optin lightning will automatically clear their info from the database and update the rsd code accordingly. this way, you'll know your list is 100% accurate. there's no guesswork involved at all.

in other words, hypothetically, let's say you send out a mailing to 1,500 subscribers and 1% of them unsubscribe, which is about the industry standard unsubscribe rate for a mailing. after they remove themselves, your optin lightning rsd code would say something like..

"our list has 1,485 subscribers"

get the drift?

filters undeliverables and saves leads

almost all services such as topica and listbot just automatically "delete" undeliverables, regardless of reason or logic (free isn't always free when you're business is losing valuable leads). optin lightning "filters" undeliverables to a dead address. this is a much better way of handling undeliverables, and here's why. there are many reasons for undeliverables. just a few common reasons are..

  1. the recipient's server being down
  2. the recipient has exceeded their "quota".
  3. certain isp "spam filters". this falls in line with isp mail rules.
however, all email addresses not being delivered for the reasons above are still 100% legitimate prospects, people that might even turn out to be lifetime customers. would you want these addresses permanently deleted from your list? of course not!

on your next mailing, chances are you'll reach a greater percentage of these prospects you "missed" the last time around. more prospects, more sales, more revenue, very simple!

system requirements

to run optin lightning, you'll need to meet the following server requirements..

  • mysql
  • cgi-bin access
  • php 4.0 or greater
  • ability to activate a one time cron event

what optin lightning is not!

optin lightning is strictly made for permission marketing. it is not a spam tool.

it's decision time!

actually, you have two very important decisions to make..

  1. will i use optin technology to build my ebusiness?
  2. will i use optin lightning to build my ebusiness?
after reading this letter, you should know that it is absolutely imperative for any company serious about doing ebusiness to manage and maintain their own optin list. also, by now i'm certain you're aware that optin lightning is the most advanced tool for the job.

listen, i work with some of the best programmers around, people with masters degrees in computer science, that have studied programming for years, and i wouldn't release this product if i had 50 people out there with a solution as good as optin lightning.

it's order time!

as a one time special promotional offer, i'm offering optin lightning ready for instant download with an unheard of full lifetime license for only $89.95. over time, that will turn out to be pennies each month! the question at this point isn't if you want it, it's how could you afford not to own and use optin lightning? turn pennies into thousands each month!

in fact, order optin lightning by..

midnight saturday, october 04
and as a preferred and valuable customer.. i'll even throw in the following bonuses...

crazy guy! bonus #1 ($19.95 value) - free newsletter template. that's right.. i've included the january 2001 version of the a+ marketplace as a '.txt' file, so you can get a feel for how a successful ezine is formatted, structured, created and sent. i've even inserted the variables so you can see how it's "personalized" throughout the letter. and yes, i've included a few free "testing tips" before you send out your newsletter to your mailing list. feel free to use this exact same layout for ideas or modify it to suit your own needs. structuring a monthly newsletter will only take 1-2 hours monthly, and it's a must if you're serious about running an ebusiness.

bonus #2 ($19.95 value) - ezine administration checklist. i wrote this list myself in order to assist people in administering ezines. tips include how to send a test mailing *before* you send your newsletter out to your list, content people are looking for, why you should never stop an ezine publication once you start one if you want to maintain continuity, etc..

 
 
"100% satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded"

this is our no b.s. "love it or shove it" performance guarantee..

if optin lightning doesn't deliver everything i promise, i'll cheerfully issue you a 100% refund of your purchase price anytime within the next 30 days! i'm not going to say a "no questions asked" guarantee because lets face it, that would imply i don't care about my product and why you want a refund. we keep detailed quality control logs and need to know the "why's" behind refunds to possibly improve our software in the future. so i would need to at least know the reason you're not deciding to use it and would at least like one chance to see if we can make things right for you.

we also ask that you give oil an honest try. we're sure that you'll be very happy with the results. you just have to ask yourself, who wouldn't want an integrated solution like this for their ebusiness? in just 6 months, we have a list of over 500 loyal optin lightning diehards. i couldn't live without it, and i'm sure thousands and thousands of others are in the same boat! stop working so darn hard and let this automated software capture and followup with your leads for you. let optin lightning build your ebusiness!

100% guarantee or money refunded

 
 

make no mistake about it.. there are dozens of 'ok' mailing list solutions out there, but none of them are designed from a marketing perspective for marketers. whether you're operating an mlm, own a pet store or sell widgets in zimbabwe, you need this power! also, we don't just sell you this software and walk away. optin lightning is only for people serious about succeeding in internet marketing. we provide all the tools, education, training and support you'll ever need to become a successful ezine owner. this is what makes optin lightning stand above the rest. this is an investment in your future that will literally grow over time. it would be truly sad if you passed this opportunity for one of the many "ordinary" solutions..

you can make excuses or you can make money, but you can't make both. everyday you don't have this software working for you, is a day you're losing valuable leads. remember, just one subscriber can be worth thousands to you! get it *before* your competition, and start building your optin list within the next 24 hours. no one can hold you back except yourself!

 
  before you purchase though, please chant the following out loud 3 times..

  1. optin lightning builds ebusinesses!
  2. optin lightning builds ebusinesses!
  3. optin lightning builds ebusinesses!
 
 

please remember, you have a full 30 days to decide..


kick our tires and try it out!
