Deliver content in Email or link to a web page.

3 replies
I have a question I hope someone can answer.

I am setting up an autoresponder course that sends carefully structured content mixed with relevant affiliate recommendations. It is crucial that they recieve things in a particular order over time.

My series of Emails slowly reveals a complete method over time. The idea being that those that cannot wait to recieve all the information will buy the complete product or affiliate products

I have seen and read lots of people linking out to their content and holding it on a webpage, so keeping the email very short.

I can see some advantages to this such as

Making your emails more user friendly and readable
The ability to bookmark the information easier
Attracting search engine traffic to the content
Opportunity to show further advertisments

These are all good reasons to do this. However something is puzzling me.

If I place all my content on a website, it will be available in its entirety and so buying the full product will hold no value. Also there will be many affiliate sale opportunities lost

I could hide all the navigation links but that would look a bit suspect.

Should I just keep my content within the confines of my AR sequence?

Does anyone do this and if so how do you set things up? Your comments would be much appreciated.

Many thanks Paul

    Hi Paul

    In your case, I would email the content, and not link out to read the rest.

    You would only want to link out to shorter portions of content to get clicks on ads or something like that.

    For instance, I write about WoW Tips and Tricks, and every week, I send out 5 tips to my list, but I only include an appetizer for each tip in the email, and then I link out to the rest of this specific tip.

    My goal is (later) to have ads on my WoWTipsTricks site and then make money from it in that way.

    You goal is to sell a full product, so you should give it away online.

      HI Paul,

      the Membernaire course by Jimmy D Brown and all the versions that are based on that principle tend to do that same thing.

      And here's how they do it:

      They will link to a specific page for each email. Okay, and then there's a download link, which in your case would not be there. Instead, you would put the content on that page.

      And there are navigation links to the home page, but the home page does NOT feature links to those separate pages.

      So that might be another option...

      Good luck!

    Interesting points for both cases thankyou. So hiding your nav links is common practice then.
    It seems to make sense to me to host content on a website. I suppose you would have to add no index tags to stop everything showing in the search engines.
