Quick question about autoresponder follow up and marketing plan

Your plans are good. You can also ask your list to JV with you to create something. So, your list should be more unique than others.

It all comes down to testing and measuring your results. That is what is nice about running a business. It's all a number game and when you can see those numbers and understand how to improve them we can move forward.

The first thing I'd differ with is your assumption that your list needs to be built from your blog.

For someone with no real market presence, this is really doing it the hard way. You end up relying on some combination of SEO and paid advertising. Either way, you end up relying on cold traffic (aka, 'total strangers')

Better to set up one or more landing pages with your opt-in offer and form, then look for ways to "borrow" other peoples' audiences. Things like:

> Guest posting
> Commenting on blogs, videos, etc.
> Participating in forums
> Publishing articles on social platforms
> Publishing videos
> ??? (Use your imagination - you want to position yourself and likeable and trustworthy by adding value)

Each time, link to one of your landing pages. For this kind of marketing, I like to use more copy than your standard squeeze page. Use the "Problem>Agitate>Solution" model, with the first two steps on the landing page and the last on the other side of your opt in (your lead magnet).

On to your real question...

Don't go in with only one product in mind. You should have a whole list of products you can recommend. Using your example...

> Domain registrar
> Hosting
> Autoresponder
> Themes or templates
> Plugins or apps
> Books/ebooks
> Courses
> Etc.

Come up with a sequence for each product. Send regular broadcasts floating the various topics. If someone is interested, they can click for a "mini-course" around the topic. Three or four messages, then they either buy and get put on a buyers list for that product (so you don't end up pitching them on something they already bought) or back to the main list.

If you do the relationship building well, here's what you can expect...

>Some people will never buy anything.
> Some people will buy a product or two and wander off.
> Some will buy everything you offer.

If one or more of the products you recommend offers recurring commissions, you could end up with a growing residual income.

I could have (should have?) included Facebook groups in my first list. Get the right groups, and you can find excellent leads. Any place where you can effectively communicate with your ideal prospects will work.

Sending people to your blog is a decent option, too. What I would do is not just link to the home page, though. Try to link to a post or page related to the link they followed. Remember, you're trying to make opting in to your list the logical next step in your prospect getting whatever result they want.

As for Andre Chaperon, I know of him, and people I respect speak well of him, but I'm not familiar with the ebook you mentioned. If you want to follow his method via outsourcing, you may want to provide your subcontractors with a copy of the book so they can follow it when working on your project.
