Do you have an email marketing system set up? If not, why not? Email marketing systems can be set up quickly and easily, and if you don’t have one in motion, you’re missing tons of income.
So, how do you construct one?
First, you need to get an autoresponder service. There are several to choose from, including AWeber, iContact, Get Response, Mail Chimp, and many others. Find one that has great deliverability because if the service doesn’t have that, nobody sees your messages, and it’s going to be a waste of your time.
After selecting your service, the next piece in the email marketing systems puzzle is creating a squeeze page. This HTML page is nothing more than a head line, three to five bullet points, and a web form to collect people’s names and addresses. Once that’s accomplished, you upload it to a hosting service, which will be your next consideration.
Like autoresponders, there are many hosting services on the Web. You should be able to pay around $10 a month and get a very reliable service. But beware of very low-priced services. They may not have the power you’ll need to run a successful business online. Find a service that’s been around a while, one that doesn’t charge a fortune every month, and one that is reliable with up time of 99% or greater.
Then, it’s a matter of driving traffic to your squeeze page. There are tons of great ways to do it, but blogging, article marketing, and forum postings are three free and easy ways to get started.
But before you drive traffic, email marketing systems need a series of follow-up messages. You should use these to bond with the people who signed up for your list. In the beginning, send them highly informational messages. Try to think of problems that people in your niche are having and offer solutions. You might include a P. S. at the bottom of each email to direct people to a product that solves the issue you wrote about, or you could just send a sales message for a product that applies to your niche every few messages.
That’s all you have to do! Once you have that all set up and in motion, people will be signing up for your list and buying from you 24/7. There’s no doubt that email marketing systems are the bomb!
