Cloud Blueprint Method

I learned how to build websites and how to optimize for search engines through an English teaching website I built a couple of years ago. I started a language learning website for a different language last year and have had some success with marketing products that I like mainly using clickbank.

I have just written a free ebook to start building my list, and I am just about to write the emails that will be sent out using an auto-responder. I'm keen to test out Glenn Allsop's strategy where you send out 5 content emails then a low priced product, 8 content emails and a higher priced product, and then 11 content emails and an even higher priced product (search for Cloudblueprint video course).

I'm guessing that this will work for affiliate marketing as well as using your own products, but I was wondering if anyone has put this strategy to the test before? I know that many marketers implement similar methods, so what advice would you give for someone in the language niche?

Also, how is it best to integrate broadcast emails into this system, and how to keep the emails going once you have gone through the 3 months worth of emails on your auto-responder?

Thanks in advance for any responses, I'll check this thread often and respond to anyone who contributes.

    I see you are looking for advice. I can't tell you about the mentioned strategy, because I am not familiar with it. I would say it is important to use broadcast emails instead of set follow-ups, daily. Yes I said daily. Why? You are going to set yourself apart from all the obvious marketers who set automatic follow-ups that are outdated. When I send an email I tell my people about current events. it is more personal and it is more work. You need to make daily emails a part of your routine. As for promoting offers, I say it is fine to promote what you like and think will help your list as often as you like. For those concerned they will unsubscribe, that is fine, they never were going to buy from you anyway. Give good content and let your personality come through. Do not be afraid to be controversial. Best to you.

    I disagree. Of course sending daily, fresh content is going to be more personal and can feel more current. But so would writing personal emails to each of your subscribers and having hundreds of unique specific conversations. If you have the time, desire and gumption to write daily emails go for it. But you will miss out on a lot of advantages to using an excellent set of auto respond emails:

    - You can A/B test the content of each of your emails and optimize them for excellent conversion
    - You can A/B test your subject lines for excellent open rates
    - You can do all the work once, provide excellent value to your customers, and free up all your time
    - You can spend that time actually creating/bettering your own products, getting more subscribers, working on your site, or launching an entirely new venture.

    While I agree that sending daily, broadcast emails certainly has some advantages, it cannot be labeled "better" across all scenarios. It is definitely not better for me and most of my ventures.
