Earl Netwal on his Adswap strategy: As the year winds down, I've been contemplating some changes to how I handle my emailings to you and the rest of the people on my list. For the past many months I have been very active withwhat are called Adswaps. They have been very successful for me in that they have allowed me to more than quadruple my combined email list since July. That's nothing to sneeze about. In the process, I have been able to share four of my own products to thousands of people who I may not have reached otherwise.
On Christmas eve and Christmas day I shared links to these with everyone then on my list, and was gratified to see many copies of them downloaded. Each of these was a genuine effort to share the information I have learned with you. In addition to the emails I've sent, I post to several blogs. Two of the most important are my http://MicroBusinessSpecialist.com/blog and http://ArticleMarketingHint.com I also post frequently to http://askearlabout.com/GiveAways about various giveaway events.
I started my list with Giveaway events, and while they are not as powerful as they once were, I still get about 100-150 new opt ins from the better ones and I highly recommend them to those of you who are starting out with your list building. Also, depending on which vehicle you used to initially opt in to my list, you may be receiving one or more follow-up email sequences or email courses on one topic or another. I hope to expand on the quality and quantity of these over time.That can lead to a lot of emails in your inbox. While I would like to believe you read each one with bated breath, I know otherwise. On all of my broadcast and follow-up emails, I include an opt out link at the bottom of the email.
If you don't ever get any value from my emails, free offers or paid offers, by all means use it. My emails will stop. While I will be sorry to see you go, I will understand. I routinely clean out my inbox by unsubscribing to others. I often resubscribe later when I see them sponsoring something I can use. I have set a personal goal to grow my list to 10,000 subscribers, right now I am around 6500 plus a handful of small niche markets that I don't send internet marketing info to. I hope to accomplish that in the first quarter of 2010.
I am in the process of creating a new 8 module video course on internet marketing. I have recorded the first two modules and am about half way through the 3rd module. When complete, I will be selling the package. In the meanwhile, I am posting much of the contents in blog postson my MicroBusinessSpecialist Blog, and am actually giving away the second module in the Ad Swaps I will be doing with others in January. When the entire project is done, hopefully by the end of January, I will make any modules I have made available free in adswaps to everyone on my list and will offer you a very special
price on the entire package.
My plan for the Adswaps is still, shall I say, flexible. I am hoping to do fewer of them, with marketers with larger lists and better offers. That said, I am an internet marketer, and my livelihood is dependent not only on what I can give away, but what I can sell.I try to keep a mix between the free stuff and the for sale stuff. So far that mix has been predominantly free for the past six months. More and more, I expect to focus on higher quality paid products.
I don't expect you to buy each and everyone, because first of all each of you are in somewhat different places in your internet career. What I do promise is to not peddle junk. I have learned from a number of teachers, and I aspire to being a teacher and adviser myself. What I've discovered is that each teacher has different styles and different emphasis. Some of you will resonate with one and not another. That's just natural. There are a half dozen or so, that have membership programs or a series of products that you will see me returning to over and over again in the coming year.
I will also be culling my list of swap partners. While I will always be open to new partners, I hope to establish a strong relationship with those who I feel offer not only a quality swap product, but who are also professional and responsible in their follow-up as well. The reason I will remain open to new partners, is that I benefited from some mentors who helped me along. I, in turn, intend to do my best to provide support to others. Although, I will be setting minimum standards to protect myself and you. I welcome your comments, questions and advice. I am still growing and learning, so I may not be able to always give you a definitive answer, but I relish the role of being an adviser. I will always do my best to provide you with my best advice, whether or not it offers me a commission.
I hope by sharing the above, you will gain a better understanding of who I am, and what I am about. The new year is soon upon us, and I am planning on it being a super year in which I make significant personal and professional progress. I fully understand that I can only accomplish that by providing you with useful support that can help you achieve your goals. Now forgive me, but I want to share a commercial with you. One of the internet marketers I have met and worked with this past year is a Canadian named Nick Sanders. We converse on Skype from time to time. He put together a mammoth package of resale and PLRproducts you can use to establish yourself in a variety of niche markets.
This is a paid product, but is very low priced for all that's included. If you know how to set up a web page, and are interested in developing some niche markets in the coming year this is well worth gabbing. Once you do, pick one of the niches products, and focus on getting it set up and running. Then rinse and repeat with another. With some effort, you can have a number of niches up and running by the end of January.
