What Are Your Top 5 Tips for Email Marketing

1. The object isn't to build the biggest list. The object is to build the most profitable one. This means using your whole process to attract your ideal prospects and eliminate the rest.

2. Email is a two-way communication channel. Treating it like a one-way medium like TV commercials or sales letters sent by postal mail is a mistake, as you cut yourself off from valuable feedback.

3. Remember that building a list is just part of a process. Many marketers treat getting traffic, getting opt-ins, and sending emails as unique entities. They are not. You get the best results when the entire process flows, and people get what they expect to get.

4. Remember, you may be sending email to "a list", but the people on that list are getting your emails in a very personal space. Communicate one-to-one, remembering that there is a living, breathing human being on the other end of that email address.

5. Above all, remember that ethical email marketing is permission based, and that that permission can be withdrawn at any time, for any reason.

How's that for a start?

1) Make sure that the content of your list pertains to and closely associated with your business or the theme of your site.

2) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site.

3) Provide true facts and figures so that your reputation as an expert and knowledgeable in that field is not questioned. If you lose the trust of your subscribers these may persuade them to unsubscribe to your list.

4) Provide fresh and new articles that can provide new information to your subscribers

5) Always provide an unsubscribe feature in your site and an unsubscribe link in your mails. When someone in your list files a request to be unsubscribed, always take that request seriously. If you don't take them off your list and keep sending them your e-mails, you are now sending them spam mail.


God Bless!!

1) NO PLR CRAP. You want your list to love you and be waiting until you promote a product to them so they can buy it? Give them AMAZING content. Especially when you give them the free offer. It literally sets the tone for the whole relationship.

Would you keep looking out for emails from someone who have you a crap un-actionable free offer?

Would you be excited and [at the least] very curious about the list owner's paid products if they gave you a free offer that was amazing and directly helped you compared to other people's crap?

2) Quality traffic source. The media source you will use to build your list is very important. I'm sure distribution sources such as clickbanking and others can build your list fast but will it build a list full of subscribers who will buy from you? Most of the time, no.

3) THE WHOLE FUNNEL. Majority of list builders build a list and promote affiliate products, there is nothing wrong with that but I'll give you a much more profitable way but involves much more work. Create your own products and have each one lead up to a higher priced product that makes the "core" product more efficient and quicker to get the desired core results.

Example: $10 product> $47 core product> $97 up-sell [makes $47 core product more efficient] > $997 high ticket product that is basically a "Done 4-U" version of the $47 core product.

4) Low-cost; No-risk front end product. This can achieve such numbers as 8%-12% conversion rate if done right. But hey, that's not how you will make good money. What it is meant to do is create buyers. From the moment that they bought that $10 product from you, they are x8 to x10 more likely to purchase higher costing products from you more often. Turns "freebie-seekers" into buyers.

5) Segmentation & Dynamic content. I learned this from Frank Kern. Basically Track everything and let's say someone opens an email and clicks a link in the email that leads to free content on writing a better higher converting sales copy. That means that person is interested in that subject. Then the next day you send an email to your list that leads to a page of free content on sneaky NLP copywriting tips. A person in the list clicked and read the content on that subject so obviously they are interested in that topic.

Keep sending content emails that concentrate on specific subjects that all revolve around one core subject. Basically this method gathers a higher percentage of your whole list that is interested in these different sub-topics that revolve around one core topic.

Then simply promote that one core product that has all those sub-topics in it and basically what you have done is created a higher interest in the core product than you would have otherwise giving only content on one topic rather than multiple sub-topics revolving around the core topic product.

I apologize that was hard to understand ;P kind hard to explain.

My best habits in Email Marketing.
Before I go to my habits, all above tips are very much important.
1. Take your list as an individual person, more than marketing to your list write to your subscribers what you would like to be receiving, remember this is an individual human being.
2. Use influential controversial subjects - this will increase open rate by 3 - 6 times, say unexpected things in the subject. " example Big Name Marketer is a liar, then content of mail make it light say things like I say he is a liar as he promised discount to end tomorrow but actually discount ends today.
3. Another high conversion of content is using "Check this out" as a call to action rather than buy this now or other similar statements.
4. Write daily, sometime marketing sometimes just getting to know your list. Its not necessary to promote a link daily.
5. Be consistent, have a product you can trust on. Don't random daily with different products. Promote a beneficial product and have a sequence promote for a month at least minimum 2 weeks, before you jump to another product.

How about buying leads to a squeeze page or offer instead of buying solo ads. In this way i'm sure to get subscribers instead of clicks.
