List building with autoresponder

5 replies
Hi all.

Few questions here regarding list building - any help would be much appreciated

Generating the emails on autopilot with AWEBER- once the messages have run its course, can i put it on a loop to reset itself?

Would you recommend putting it on a loop, or would it make sense to create more messages if you aren't getting more traffic? ( or do I create more traffic, and create more messages simultaneously)

Also, if i am in several niche markets, can i use the same autoresponder to manage the different markets?

How do i track the effectiveness of the emails I have sent out - how many people recieved, how many people opened, how many people clicked on the provided link etc?

Also how to host a free giveaway? Do i redirect the user to a special link hosted by a free website and do i create a special website in order to host the link? Wordpress?

Would you recommend just sticking to one niche, rather than several so I dont have to keep track of so many lists of different niches?

In what circumstances would i create a newsletter - when I am 'specialist' and have my own blog?

I've seen aweber recommended over the others for its ability to get past spam - is this correct?

Thanks

Greg

    If you are marketing one specific niche then you can use same email DATA.

    How could you use same Email DATA for another niche...?

    You have to configure your Email Data or template with your niche every time.
    If your niche is 'make money online' and you have various micro niche like
    "data entry job", "work at home", "earn money online" then you can use same Email
    Data or templates.

    Unless, you will send 'money making' emails to weight loss audience...!

    Thanks,

    HI Greg,

    I honestly think that you are in information overload.

    My suggestion is work on one thing at a time...

    Break each question down into a list and do one
    each day.

    Take a look at the great videos on aweber they
    explain alot.

    Also utilize their customer support. It's fantastic!

    As far as your questions I would say stick with one niche
    until it's making you money. That is if there is money in
    the nich your are marketing.

    It's not how many niches?

    It's whether there is any money in the niche.

    Then as you progress and your income grows with 1 nich move into others and diversify your income streams by adding additional niches to your business portfolio.

    Kind of Like stocks or something...

    You can own a little piece of each company or in this case a part of the specific Market (niche) you are marketing to.

    Focus, Focus, Focus, Focus...

    And then Take Massive Action!

    Hope this helps my friend...

    Have a AWESOME Day on Purpose!

    With Purpose!

    I think you cannot make a loop in Aweber, but I suggest you would not do that even if you could. If you really want to sell something again, write a new message. Email marketing is more about relationship that is is about selling. Build great relationship with your list, let them know hwo you are, let them start to trust you. The sales will come, and you will not need any loops

    Yes, you can use the same auto responder service, such as Aweber. You will just need to create several lists, and follow up messages for those lists (as well as different web forms for different lists, to put the optin form on your websites)

    AWeber has many reports available, they show this info to you.

    I am not sure if I understand your question here, but if you want to just give your new subscribers a downloadable file, you need to host in on some server, and on Aweber, you need to add the URL of the file, in the "Confirmed optin" field.

    Yes, start with one niche first.

    Yes, or if you can become the specialist Or, if you have the money to outsource the specialist.

    A cornerstone of any successful business is constant improvement. So you need to be constantly testing everything and ratcheting up improvement in your businesss. That means you will always be creating new emails to test and put into the system. There is never a time that you put just loop anything.

    Aweber was the third best in deliverability in our tests of the auto-responders. The very best though had only a 29% deliverability. All of the email management solutions tested outside of the IM "auto-responder" paradigm had a deliverability higher than 50%.

    I would stay clear of anything calling itself an "autoresponder." That term was made up by IMs and has evolved in meaning over time (it used to just mean an email address that would automatically respond if someone sent an email to it requesting information). But that term never caught on in the broader online business world.

    That means that any service calling itself an "autoresponder" service is targeting IMers. IMers don't have a very good reputation within the broader online business community for a variety of reasons that usually only actually apply to a small number of bad apples, but that reputation makes email providers like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL tend to score emails from autoresponder sources very low.

    Aweber does work hard on their personal reputation so they are one of the best with deliverability, but you are still throwing away 71% of your email contacts. Even the worst email management solution that doesn't call itself an autoresponder does much better for deliverability.

    If you are planning to grow into a the larger online business community, then why not invest in the same kinds of contact management solutions they use? It is a faster route to being where they are.
