Email Marketing And Making It Profitable For You
- ARTICLES |
Are you an email list fanatic? If not, then you probably will be pretty soon. Some people consider starting and building an email list is the fastest way to make money with your website. And some people feel that building an email list on the frontend is something that isn't necessary. For these people, leading people to your sales page is the best way to go.
But depending on the type of product that you sell, you may find it worthwhile to build a list for your product. This is especially true if you sell a very high priced product ($100 and above). Building a list is a great way to get recurring traffic to your site, and to increase the chances of having your leads buy what you have to offer.
Now if you're going to do opt-in email marketing and list building on the frontend side of things (before you get a customer)... there are some things that you will want to do if you want to make your efforts profitable. In today's lesson, I want to go over a few of these things. Here's the first thing that you will want to do if you want to make money with your email marketing efforts.
1) Always build a list from scratch
Never purchase a list online. Always start from zero and work your way up to a ton of subscribers. This way, all of your subscribers know who you are, and they will contact you and interact with you as if they know you personally. And yes, this is a good thing. Nothing is better than having a list that likes you and trusts your recommendations.
Here's another thing that you will want to do:
2) Don't email everyday
I know you may be anxious for that illustrious first sale, but you don't want to rush things. Take your time and focus on building up a list into the thousands. Yeah sure you will make your first sale by the time you acquire around 300 leads, but if you want to see sales on a daily basis... you're going to need thousands of leads. But some simple paid advertising can handle this for you.
Generally depending on your business, you should be contacting your customers and prospects every 3 to 7 days. You don't want to wait too long after 5 days to email your list... you don't want them to forget who you are. So 3 to 7 days is a good amount. Here's the last email tip I want to share with you.
3) Get an autoresponder
An autoresponder is simply an online program that automatically sends out emails to your email list. One popular program is "Aweber". With an autoresponder, you can email your list all while doing the things that you love to do in your spare time. Because emailing everyone on your list would take you forever to do.
Hopefully these 3 tips have helped you understand email marketing a little bit more, and how it can make it profitable for you. Be sure to use these tips today.
Good luck with email marketing in your business.
