How Many Campaigns Do You Run?

Just curious...

How many email campaigns are you currently running? Are they all related to the same products or do you run varied products in varied niches?

    Ah ... email campaigns; I see. (From the title alone, I was just getting ready to point out that the word "campaigns" has various different meanings according to the specific IM-context envisaged ).

    9, because I'm an affiliate marketer in 9 separate, unrelated niches. Naturally, I need 9 "main lists" and 9 email series. (Sounds a lot, doesn't it? Even to me ... but I've built that up over 6+ years. When I first started, my answer was "1", of course.) The sending out of the email series is all automated, once they're loaded into the autoresponder: I don't use "broadcasts", now, and don't intend to.

    No; they're each related to a separate small group of products. I don't have any "single-product niches" now (but have made that mistake - along with countless others - in the past: those are generally not a particularly good move, for affiliates, I think).

    You need a good product portfolio especially given the constant changes in priority that Google has! Putting all your eggs in one basket is rarely a good idea longer term, although if you can make large profits fast then it might be a good strategy. I run about 10 campaigns at any one time

    Thank you both for your quick responses - love this board!
    So I'm working on putting my first one together, but I was thinking that 10 would be manageable once I get more familiar (and learn from my mistakes) with the process. Maybe add one every month or two until I've got all I can comfortably handle.

      Maybe.

      There are some advantages to diversification, of course. But some disadvantages, too.

      Be aware, though, that the relationship between "work put in" and "money taken out" is typically a far from linear one: in the early stages, you do the most work for the smallest rewards, and this means that it's really difficult (and sometimes quite frustrating) to have more than one niche "in that position" at the same time.

      For the jumbo jet to get up in the air and fly, and be self-supporting, it needs quite a long runway.

      Trying to launch too many at once can result in getting none of them in the air successfully.

      I added my second niche about three months after I started the first. With hindsight, this was too early, and I should have waited longer.

      It depends exactly what you're doing, of course (there are loads of variables - let's be honest), but I was working about 25-30 hours per week on it, at the time, and at that rate, for me, 6 months between starting off each new niche would have been better.

      I'm thinking it's gonna take me a little longer to get up to speed in the short term than I thought it was. I've been going through the tutorials/white papers on the GetResponse site, and am starting to realize that I "don't know what I don't know", if that makes sense. There's a lot more I want/need to learn before I go into this full steam. The time to get there is fine, as I've given myself a year to get to the point where I can quit my day job and do this full time.

        I think it will take you a shorter amount of time than you think. Once you get one campaign set up, then edit if when you find the errors you made (at least that's what happened to me), and check the results, you will find your subsequent ones much simpler.

        And if you make use of the important functions of GR, and see how they work, that will be the simplest part of your marketing.

        As for your original question, I have 3. 1 of those is mostly broadcast emails.

      I run a campaign for each product I have as I can broadcast to my list as a whole or segment. I do this because I have different products in different niches. Some people might be interested in PLR but not in blogging that's why I do it this way. I believe a lot of other IM folks do it this way also.

    The good thing about this business is that "People don't succeed cause they aim too high and miss, no, they aim too low... and hit. Most people don't aim at all." (Les Brown)

    Not us... Not marketers. We live far above mediocrity. Always keep this in mind at all times..
