Ran Out Of Offers To Promote?

21 replies
Hey guys, quick questions...

When it comes to email marketing, you must promote offers in order to make a profit, what happens when you run out of offers to promote? Let's say you promote the same offer for one week and get how ever so many conversions and sales, then what? You can't promote it again because all of the people who are interested have already bought the product. Some would argue that adding new subscribers to your lists fixes this problem, bu then what of the people who were already on your list? If you run out of offer where is a good place to find some more???

    How about sending your subs some good old helpful information every now and then that does not contain affiliates links to some product

    Also i don't know your market (I'm guessing IM) but there are so many platforms and products available i don't know how you could run out of "Offers"...

      How about not automatically assuming that all he ever does is send offers and nothing more?

      But yeah, feel free to promote something more than once, especially if you truly believe in said product and think it will help your list. Many people won't buy the first time for multiple reasons: They didn't have the money today, they missed the email, they decided to get it tomorrow but then kept putting it off, etc.

        Is that not the industry standard Elvis, hammering your list with offers

          You know what they say about ASS-U-ME-ing... don't you? :rolleyes:

          To the OP:

          If you run out of offers to promote then you should consider creating your own products. If you create your own products you will see higher conversions from your own list as people are normally more willing to buy something you created rather than something you recommend as an affiliate.

          However, you should also be keeping track of your promotions and also if possible segmenting your lists accordingly...

          If you track your promotions and one day you realize you don't have any thing to promote then you can simply go to your records and find an email that did well for you in the past and send it again.

          Normally 3-6 months is more than enough time for you to wait before promoting the same product again.

          Also, if you have the ability - you should segment your list accordingly. If possible by buyers of "x". That way you can promote more aggressively and not worry about promoting a product to people that have already bought it.

          Hope this helps. Good luck!

          Cheers,
          Coby

    The times have changed.

    I remember Anthony Robbins saying someone needs (an average of) 14 views to finally make a purchase.

    It doesn't matter what his target audience is, or even if that number is right...

    The fact of the matter is that just because someone is interested...

    Doesn't mean they will always buy initially.

    (that's why re-targeting is damn popular right now)

    So yes, you can promote a product multiple times...

    As well with other products, too

      I totally agree with this. I myself have been interested in products before but for some reason did not purchase the first time. however I did purchase later down the road when the product was brought to my attention again. The key is to not over do it. Explain what the product has done for you, or how it will make their lives easier. Always share it as useful information is if you were writing to your best friend to inform them and help them. And for goodness sake only promote great products or you will lose the respect of your readers fast.

    Intersperse offers with good helpful lnformation. After about 10 emails with the offer, how it helps them reach their goals and desires, other peoples testimonials, etc. then go on to another offer, service or membership to offer - interspersed with more helpful information.

    Especially offers, services or memberships that pay you month after month (as long as they stay with it).

    After a while you can circle around to your previous offers again. The first time was not the right time for everyone.

    Create your own "box". $500 "info in a box" system.

    Or start a monthly newsletter.

    Or CD/DVD of the month club.

    Or find some affiliate products to promote.

    What you can do is check out jv sites for big upcoming launches. Before the launch offer some great value to your list related to that launch and you're bound to make more sales.

    Just ALWAYS make sure though if you promote a product that it's worth promoting, then everybody's happy

    The most important thing you need to have in mind is the relationship you develop with your subscribers.
    I Know that our intention is to sell, but you cannot run your business if you just want to have some sell, doing that will end up just where you are now. 'Out of offers'.
    No. You need to be able to provide great information to solve their needs that's why they opt in in the first place.
    If you have this kind of mentality you will always find offers to give consequently will get more sales.
    When your subscriber see your email as a great source of information even the offers that you'll send them, they will take it as great help, because this is how they've seen your emails since the beginning.
    The point is: When you start to see your business like this, I can assure you that you will always find offers to offer and most importantly get more sales.

    Let's say you promote the same offer for one week and get how ever so many conversions and sales...
    In short - maybe promote the best offers in a different way then you had done previously.

    If it was something like "This course is getting awesome reviews and will change forever how you view Facebook Ads LINK"

    Maybe create a soap opera around the idea of Facebook ads for 10 days discussing why you use them, how they work for you, and how you learned to be profitable. But you didn't get it right the first time, you had to implement one little trick you learned which you aren't sure if you want everyone to know right now, but you will think about it...

    Next day, 'Hey, so I was thinking about what I said yesterday regarding John's Facebook Ads Crusher and I think you guys can really benefit from this secret I learned while using the techniques inside. You see instead of doing A, I actually did B and suddenly things started taking off for me. If you've tried this course before then you know what I'm talking about and if you haven't, then I've just given you my secret key that unlocks the real potential of the course.

    Now that you know how to really take it to the next level you're probably feeling frisky to check it out ...'

    Just thoughts from the corner of the room - but I'd just repromote a product with more care.

    Is it actually possible to run out of products to offer? I've got hundreds of gigs on my hard drive saying differently

  • There are millions of offers you can't run out. I have promoted over 600 offers over the years and been pretty picky. There must be 600,000 of them for sure!

      I kind of find it hard to run out of something to promote because there are always Internet Marketers and Business Owners always putting out new offers, but even better you could always create your own endless products that you can promote to your list.

    Impossible to run out of offers.

    1.) Just because something isn't NEW doesn't mean it's not still valuable. Promote older products.

    2.) See what has sold bigtime and see if it applies.

    https://www.jvzoo.com/affiliates/fin...type=&rows=250

    shows you the 250 biggest launches on JVzoo. You can also look at

    https://warriorplus.com/wsopro/affiliate/get-offers.php

    3.) Look at the goodies at http://nanacast.com . Lots of good quality there.

    4.) Create folders for marketers who constantly email out offers. See which ones of those would appeal to your list. Promote them. (that's one reason why I never unsubscribe from lists - I merely filter them. It's good to have work done for me).

    5.) And of course, create your own.

    Hope that helps!

    The worst thing you can do for your list is to send them offer after offer after offer.

    You want to have good relationships with them so it is not going to hurt if you give them value in each email or on some emails.

    People will sense that you only want their money and leave your list sooner rather then later.

    If you run out of promotions in your autresponder, start sending out weekly/daily broadcasts with advice and then put those in your autoresponder.

    You can always filter out people you've sent previous offers to.
