Email Marketing And Your Internet Success
So you started an internet business and thought you would be making money, hand over fist. But it is not working out that way. There are two main keys to running a successful online business. The first being email marketing and the second is getting search engine traffic.
Today we are going to focus on your email marketing. Maybe you have already tried building your own list, but can't get anyone to sign up. Or maybe you are using safelists but not getting much traffic from them either. You need to come up with a plan for your email marketing and stick to it.
There are two ways to start building your opt in list. First you can use an online service that helps you build your list, or you can do it the old fashioned way and start building your list by yourself.
If you decide to use an online list building service, here are a few to stay away from. First stay away from ListDotCom. This is a program that claims to help you build your list, which it is set up to do, but they sell memberships for $197 to let everyone email 5000 people in there list every 2 days. This is great for the owner of the program, but it sucks for you. Anyone you refer into this service will be receiving emails from all the upgraded members, and there are loads of them. The people you refer could end up receiving hundreds of emails every day, which means your emails will get lost in the clutter.
The second program you should avoid is List Joe. While they claim to be a list building service, they are nothing more than a glorified credit based safelist. Everyone who joins can email everyone else who has joined. You receive credits for viewing other peoples emails and you use these credits to send your emails out to other people. They also sell a membership for $197. It makes you wonder if both programs are sold by the same person. The other thing I think is funny is that they brag about there email open rate... Of course they have a huge click through rate, if people want to send emails they need to build up credits by viewing other peoples emails.
Now for building your list using an online service I would strongly recommend MyHugeList. This program actually helps you. First off, this is a viral email list building program. Everyone you refer gets put in your list, and then they help you build your list, everyone they refer gets put in your list and so on, down to 10 levels. Every person in the program only receive emails from there upline and nobody's lupine can ever be more than 10 people, so you will only receive 2 to 3 emails a day. And because you only receive 2 to 3 emails a day people actually notice them and read them. They also offer free software to everyone, this is a nice bribe to get people to join your list. This is a free program, they do have a option to upgrade to PRO membership for $6 a month. Thats a lot different than $197.
For those of you who like the idea of email 5,000 people every 2 days I would suggest MoneyListPro. They have memberships that start at $3 and not only do you get to start emailing people immediately you also get to place your banners and text ads on there high traffic site.
You can find any of the above programs in any search engine.
Now if you want to build your own list, this is what you are going to need in order to start building your list. You will need your own web hosting service and domain name, you will need an auto responder service, and you will need a product to give away in order to get people to sign up for your list.
Don't forget email marketing is one of the most important factors to consider when building your online business. With out an opt in email list, you probably wont succeed online.
