What do YOU think are the best autoresponder tactics?
Here's some of my personal autoresponder info:
- I use getresponse as my autoresponder, but have a godaddy hosting account..meaning that if I use click track in the emails I send out...there's NO WAY I can change what the subscriber sees: getresponse.click.track.blabla/lalala instead of my link being "secretly tracked." So, in my case...use click track or not?
As for autoresponder tactics:
- When do you think should you start selling? My way of doing things is this: research has proven that you need 6 "contact periods" before a prospect will buy, so I start doing my little sales pitches AFTER the sixth mail..so with mail number 7. Meanwhile, they opt in on my blog thats FILLED with articles on the subject. So sell sooner or maintain what I'm doing?
- Lets say you sell more than one product, and I hope you do..or you would have no back-end...how would YOU sell them with your autoresponder and why? I currently have 2 products, and I sell them in a A-B, A-B like manner where mail 7 is product A, mail 8 is product B etc. Smart or skip? What's your opinion I use multiple little pitches for the same product in one email...and I put the pitches in between Q&A where I answer questions by readers.
As for listbuilding: how to capture the info
- My blog is win-with-womenblog.com (dont mind me removing the www, Im not authorized to put HTML in here..I think..), but what I've noticed that I had between 200 and 400 visitors this week..but only FOUR new subscribers. That makes me wonder: does my squeeze page suck? Have a look for yourself. My blog has several categories which names need some explaining, so I explain and refer them to click on the links...and AFTERWARDS I offer the opt-in. Wise decision?
- On my squeeze, I tell my story and relate to the prospect: Im a regular guy who had the same problems, until I learned..and Im here to larn them too - basic copywriting.
- Secondly, AFTER the optin confirmation (on a standard getresponse page)...there's no thank you page. Is that a mistake? And why? Note that my blog uses Wordpress
- As for the optins...I ahve around 40 articles on my blog, but I put the opt in at the END of every page...while the articles are sometimes long as hell, lol! Smart or is it better to provide an opt in half way, or even at the start of an article?
Just wanted some personal advice and at the same time go hardcore with the discussion on autorsponder tactics...because 4 subscribers out of 400 visitors? SUCKS in my opinion, and I want to improve. Maybe it's because the people on the website forums I market on don't know me that well yet? (I don't have a "rep" yet)
