Using a DFY email sequence?

Most things that are DFY should be modified/personalized to be your own. People who do well online have built a personal brand tied to products...but they built the brand FIRST.

If you don't have a brand, you don't stand out and sales are negligible if they exist.

The market is saturated from people cutting corners, throwing up "DFY" sales pages with "DFY" products. They're all the same.

The market is not saturated from people who create personal brands with original content. That's where you have a chance to make it online. It requires more work though and that's why not as many people do it and succeed at making money online.

Be original. Create fresh content. Build a brand. Don't cut corners.

Would you be "happy" if an incompetent hack sent you second-rate emails, with links to second-rate products, on a second-rate platform?


That's the problem these days, isn't it? People doing to others what they wouldn't like done to them.


The question is: Would you like your Mother, Father, Brother, Sister or best Friend to be treated that way by someone else? I doubt it. But hey, as long as it doesn't affect the people you love, who bloody cares, right?


You are on the wrong path my friend. Take stock now or pay the price later. The ONLY people who succeed doing that sort of shit, are the ones who have no problem lying and cheating others. If that's you, then go right on ahead.


And no, I'm not being dramatic here. You plan to build a list so you can milk them for YOUR own benefit, not to help them in any way.

I wouldn't recommend using DFY email sequences that's provided to the masses. Autoresponder services usually can recognize and identify the same email being sent out among different account across their platform and as a result could just have the emails be sent directly to the subscriber's spam folder.

It's best to create your own email autoresponder sequence, which is one way to set yourself apart from what the masses are doing.

I hope you don't have the product I have. I checked out the products being promoted and it included how to make money on MySpace and Squidoo!

If your list full of defunct products, you don't stand a chance of making enough money to pay for your time listing your question. So, go through it carefully, if you find valid products making quality sales TODAY, then, look for JV pages and get all the info you can on the product. Add your personal message and a bullet point list to the email and send it out. It will SHOW you are not just dumping junk onto your list.

Don't churn and burn a buyers list. If you got your list from a safe-list or some really cheep list source, you may want to send them to a list that constantly sends them to products to buy, but if you have a quality list, don't send them to a churn and burn list until they are dormant for quite awhile. When they do buy, get them to your quality list an d treat them like gold.

Mostly use the emails to get ideas. Look for newer products and write your own product promotion series for each one. The rule is about 7 emails per product.

Believe me, if you have that list, someone else does and probably half or more of your list is on both accounts so they will know which one of you is sincere and which is just bombing them with crap.

One more thing, the people on your list have a passion. Always be on the lookout for signs of their passion and even ask them what they need most to succeed. Then, feed their passion! Even as an affiliate marketer, you can find modern material to send your list to.

While I know some of the old tactics will bring some results and maybe make you a few dollars, I am convinced that gone are the days when you can be impersonal and make it big. It's hard to hide where they can't find you, and if you can, you can't be trusted. Be open, honest and personal.

I hope you do well.

Something to note about (most) DFY email sequences, is they are typically written with the main focus being to pitch the offer.

While you can find some great copy writing in DFY sequences, I believe it is always best to integrate your own story, style, and unique VALUE into the sequence. The better your list gets to know, like, and trust you, the more likely they will be to take action when you do make an offer or recommendation.
