How Do You Follow Up With Your List?

4 replies
Almost IM marketers here build a list because they understand that the money is in the list. Question I have is, how do you follow up with your list and eventually getting them to buy?

See, I have a list of about 300 people going through my free 4 days video course and at the end of the 4 days, I do my pitch. But if they don't bite, I have no other way to follow up on them.

I am considering coming up with a once a week article (related to my niche) and use them as a way to entice my list back into the website (so I can sell them again). Was wondering what is your way of following up?

    I'm releasing a WSO about this (not advertising myself, just stating that you can trust me somewhat) in a couple days.

    Here's what I do....


    Basically I do the freebie follow up, get them to "trust" me. After that, mail them once or twice a week with either a freebie or something interesting, but ALWAYS link it to your blog. MAKE them go to your website. This builds you traffic, which can make you even more money, but we won't go into that.

    My system more/less goes like this, in terms of mailing.

    Week 1 - Freebie and at the end, make your pitch
    Week 2 - "Communicate" with your list
    Week 3 - Second pitch
    Week 4 - More free stuff
    Week 5 - More blog reading
    Week 6 - Another pitch / more free stuff / more blog reading.
    Etc....

    NEVER send more than one pitch every other week. I've tested it, most people get pissed and they'll either unsubscribe or they'll never open your emails again.

    Hope it helped, if you got any more questions feel free to ask/PM me.

    *This isn't too organized as I am packing and heading on the road for vacation in 5 hours so I typed it rather quickly.

    Hey there,

    We have a list of roughly 600+ from the IM Niche. The key to maintain your list is to provide them free stuff once in a while, but remember, niche related.

    People, like me too, hate recieving mails from a person to whom we signed up for PPC tips, who is sending us CPA stuff.

    You get my point? Send them niche-related stuff every, let's say twice a week.

    Also, don't mail a lot because they will get irritated and ultimately opt out of your list, which you offcourse don't want.

    Also, if you have a blog, send them some personal stuff like your vacations or something or do some contests.



    All The Best!

    If you have a blog let them know when you have a new blog post periodically.
