Creating An Email Swipe

Are you referring to a collection of successful solo ads that
you can model from? I'm not so sure what you are really
asking for here.

-Ray Edwards

My advice would be to opt-in to a bunch of different safe list sites such as List Joe, List Auction, List Bonus etc and start reading through different sales emails from people...Make note of the titles and content that catch your eye and try following the format and style that makes YOU want to read or buy.

Joseph posted a good template. It's the same format/style we use when writing autoresponder emails (aka email swipe).

Hey Richard - I was sleepy when I read this. You bumped my sleepy head, man. LOL

Interesting discussion, just a couple of things that may help it along:

1. When doing solos/ swaps it's best to keep it short and sweet. For that reason I would say that although Joseph's swipe is comprehensive - based on experience I personally wouldn't recommend a swipe of that length.
2. THE most important things in your email are the subject line and the first line (in that order). You absolutely must get the attention of your potential subscriber immediately or they will either not click on the email in the first place or click out immediately.
3. Don't waste time with safe list traffic. It's low quality and a waste of time (my opinion based on experience)
4. There may be genuine reasons why a solo provider would change the heading or content of a swipe. In my case, my solo ad business runs under the name of "The NowOver2u Team"" so on a basic level we can not say "I" in am email and must say "We" Also, some of our clients are not great at writing so we try to help them out.
5. Always remember that with solos your objective is to get as high a proportion of emails opened as possible followed by getting the maximum number of opens to subscribe to your list. The first prize is subscribers on your list of course.
6. Based on this - providers will usually over deliver clicks BUT you are interested in conversions i.e. people on YOUR list so you need to monitor your stats closely

Don't want to go on too long but hope that helps a little.

Jason,

If you do go the safe list route be sure to set up a completely separate email address for them. List joe used to be a very decent source as I built an IM based list of over 2000 in less than 45 days. It has been a while since I used them though.

I also have another source I only give out to my list members but being who you is :-) .. PM me and I will find and send you the link.

Jason,

The list was very responsive but it was an IM/MMO related list. It was also in 2006 or so. I have no idea how well they convert now but if it is still IM people .. they are still looking for things like traffic, websites, and blogs.

I also did this from a paid status .. not the free status.

I personally like to create a brand new email address and use it to subscribe to other relevant marketers' list.

If they are making good money from their list, they must be doing something right in the email messages that they send to the list.

I will keep the emails organized by having a folder for each marketer's email messages.

In that way, I will be able to study the flow of their email messages. I will take note of those email subject headline and email messages that captures my attention and I will save it in my Swipe email folder.

When it it time to create email message, I will go to my Swipe folder and make some modification to it to suit my style of writing.

I find this is working for me and I hope you find it useful too

who know the way I can get real subscribe and like for my channel of youtube please show me. Thank you so much

THIS IS ANOTHER 3RD OLD THREAD DON'T POST SPAMMER GONE

if you need a quick swipe... use the text from your squeeze page (asssuming yuo already have one)... create something around it.

cheers!

I'd say: never ever ever ever send unrelated, generic swipe formats ..

You have 10 subscribers by now ..
You can either turn them into raving fans that wait for each email you send ..
Or you can just try to get "a quick buck" from them and leave them dead & unresponsive ..

So, It's a great thing that you've decided to take this business model & start building your email list !

Swapping clicks is great for building your email list larger and larger day by day easier !

So, your question is about "swipe emails" ..
I would recommend very much the product: "The IM Goofball's Guide To $51 - $74 Per Hour" .. as It's based on making money with writing swipe files and short affiliate reviews ..
The beauty of it is that the product creator shows you by video & text how to craft super converting promotional swipe emails.

Okay, So, if you want to craft a swipe email right now, What would you do?
- Start with the WHY .. Why are you sending that email ? Define your goal.
Let's say you're sending out that email to send some clicks to a swap partner ..

One of the coolest methods I've been seeing this dude doing .. (I'm on his list) ..
He sends out an email announcing a "FREE Report .."
I open the email, and I do find the free report .. with some other links ..
The links are relevant links to some squeeze pages of his clickbanking partners (clickbanking is just a fancy term for swapping clicks)

Since theoretical talking will look like non-sense to you .. Let me quote you the exact email:

This method is good, and I know because it worked on me hahaha ...

The free ebook is just a PLR he got from somewhere
but it's a good read though ..


So, that's an option




If you want to promote an evergreen product ..
I would strongly suggest checking out "ultimatesuccesstrainingprogram" by Tom Glover (nice guy)
That product speaks around how to do "Cool Promotions" .. using the "law" of reciprocity

So basically, what it is about is to take ONE THING from your product
and learn it
and teach it in a video
When you do that
you'd just say "hey, I've learned this from this XYZ product, check it out, it has my highest recommendation"
And you put your link below the video

So, the page where your people will go will be like this

headline
video 1 - intro
video 2 - the value
video 3 - explaining the product

So the Headline should be a result that the product got you, or the product creator, or anyone who had tried the methods there and had had some success with it

The first video should be an introduction of yourself, and what the visitor should expect while he's in this page ..

The second video is explaining this one thing that you've picked from your product
that one thing should take your prospects one step closer to their goals
like if they want to build a big list, you should mention one thing that will get them instant results and that they can apply right now and get results with it ..

The third video is just a plain quick promotion of the xyz product you've chosen to promote


SO why doing all of this ?
you provide value = your awesomeness go up => visitors trust you and they buy what you recommend

that's the general outlay



So, you obviously need a swipe to send to your peeps to send them to that page

It's very very simple

Create something like this:

" Hey [name] !
I've created a special free video for you only !
This video is not public, and sent only to you (and others in this newsletter)

Watch it, and tell me what you think
(link)

It's about (explain what they'll learn from that video)
again, Get Your FREE ACCESS to the video
(link)

(sign off) "

as simple as that !

Intro,
value,
sign off.


I hope this was somehow helpful :-)

I only mention the names of the products to show you where my knowledge is collected from ..
So you can get access to the info from its origins

I hope you've enjoyed reading this (long) post ..

Cheers ! You've just read an 830 words comment (cheers to me too for writing it haha)

Hi ArticlePros... relevant question and lots of relevant and irrelevant comments..lol.. Congrats with your first few subscribers.You may tag me in whichever category you feel..hehehe.. I would share my expirience in growing email lists starting with just a handful. Take to social media, great posts with a "call to action" tab so that people sign up or leave their emails with you after reading a great post (I am sure you are good at creating such). Hire an email marketing company, if you havent so. They will not only create good email campaigns for you but will also help you import newer email lists. It save a lot of your brain cells from getting burnt out finding ways to add more emails and subscribers. I had it a good way using Ariticmail, Good luck to you.
