Are You Marketing Effectively With Email?

Like any type of marketing, email marketing involves a great deal of time and effort to ensure the marketing campaign is effective.

I read and hear more and more marketers say, “My email messages just do not get opened anymore!”

This is important because an ineffective marketing campaign of any type is a waste of money and resources.

Spending a great deal of time, energy and money into an email marketing campaign which is not reaching the members of the target audience and is not convincing recipients of the email to make a purchase or visit your website is not worthwhile.

One of the most important aspects of marketing effectively with email is to ensure your marketing efforts are reaching the members of your target audience. This is important because you are much more likely to generate sales when you are marketing to this type of an audience than you would if you were marketing to a much larger audience without an interest in your products.

The quality of your content is a reflection on your business and poorly written content with no substance will reflect poorly on your business.

Effective email marketing should also be written in a manner which will appeal to the target audience.  Paying attention to details can make the email marketing campaign significantly more effective.

Finally, effective email marketing should not be viewed as spam.

This is a difficult situation.

This is important because many Internet service providers include spam filters which apply algorithms to each email account to determine which messages are spam and which ones are legitimate.

Emails which are deemed to be spam may never reach the intended recipients.

Emails which may it through the spam filters may also be automatically deleted if the Internet user believes it looks like spam.

For this reason care should be taken to ensure all marketing emails provide quality content, advertise only subtly and ideally are only sent to email recipients who have specifically requested information about your products or services.

This will give you the best opportunity possible to reach your target audience and have a positive impression on them and hopefully entice them to make a purchase or visit your website.

After all is said and done building relationships with your subscribers means “profit!”

There’s no PhD you can strive for to be in the Internet marketing industry.

You have to learn as you go – on your own – soaking up information along the way. The first thing you need to know is what it means to be an Internet marketer, because it isn’t always clear to everyone.

Let’s start with what Internet marketing is not. It’s not being a con artist. It’s not being a spam king. It doesn’t just mean selling on eBay or having your own website and products. 

In reality, Internet marketers can pick and choose from a whole host of options available to help them make money.

Your opportunities are virtually endless, and include one or more of the following: 

1. Selling digital downloads (information products like eBooks)
2. Promoting other people’s products for a commission (affiliate marketing)
3. Selling on eBay or other auction sites
4. Running a membership site
5. Selling your online services (writing, graphics, etc.)
6. Owning a website that sells drop-shipped or wholesale items

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Being a newcomer to Internet marketing, you might be worried that you don’t have anything to sell. That’s okay – most people don’t start out with anything, and you never have t stock a tangible inventory if you don’t want to. 

Internet marketing creates no gender or age boundaries for you. There are teenagers who have launched multi-million dollar companies as budding Internet marketers whose ideas sprung to life and catapulted them to instant success. 

You don’t have to do anything unethical or shady to succeed at Internet marketing, and in fact, launching a respectable business with a solid reputation is the secret ingredient that will allow you to hatch an empire on the ‘net to fulfill all of your dreams and those of your family.

You know that everyone has such high expectations when they start an internet business, yet many give up quickly.

Hard work, patience, not buying everything that comes along, always pays off, in the end I guess I mean just use some good ol’ common sense!

Money is there for the taking and let’s start 2012 making more than ever!

Best Wishes to you and yours in this New Year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

May You And Your Family Enjoy This Season Together!

PS: New thinking and new products in the New Year!

What kind of business do you want during the holidays?

Getting or giving…

A combination of both?

Some internet marketers will email their list with a gift or discount on a product.

Some won’t even acknowledge the season, this time of year is the time to build relationships with your list or customers.

I’ve noticed some who continue pushing a relatively higher priced product at this time of year, when most folks have their money going towards presents for friends and family.

If most would stop and think these products would, in my opinion, be best sold at another time of year.

Sure, not everyone agrees with this thinking, but…

Anyway, Merry Christmas Everyone!

The other day I was talking with an old friend of mine who has a business selling health care products through his website.

He’s spent a lot of money developing his website and hisproduct is one of the best out there, but he just wasn’t getting enough visitors to his site to make it all worthwhile.

He told me that a couple of months ago when he searched for his site on Google it was on page six.

Page six!

Who ever looks on page six?! The amazing thing is that now he’s on page #1 for his region and things are finally picking up.

It sounded to me like he’d employed some sleazy search engine optimization company to fix up his website, but he said no — he did it all himself!

I was astonished to say the least.

Let me say this guy is NOT a webmaster extraordinaire or a marketing guru.

He’s just a ordinary guy making products in his basement.

How did he get so good at search engine optimization?
He told me that someone had put her onto a free program called Traffic Travis.

“It’s harder to explain than it is to use!” he joked.

Basically it’s a piece of software with all the tools used by these professional search engine optimization companies. It helps you find the right search terms to focus on, then it analyzes your site, analyzes your competitors’ sites, shows you your linking relationships and pulls all the information you need into one screen.

You have to remember, though, that this guy is just a work-at-home man who didn’t know his Google PR from his knee.

Fortunately the software came with tutorials that explained important concepts as well as how to use the software, AND some really comprehensive bonus material which revealed all the tricks and theory behind the search engines. “Once you start to read about it you just want to learn more. And then once you’ve learned more, you want to analyze your site down to its bones. And then you want to analyze everyone else. It’s totally addictive! I never knew that stuff was there!”
Armed with this knowledge he was able to tweak his site and within a couple of weeks he was seeing a real increase in traffic. “The site is finally starting to pay for itself! It’s my baby, it’s so nice to see it growing!”

When you consider how much you’ll learn and how much extra business you could earn, and the fact that the software is FREE… I think it’s at least worth taking a look, don’t you?

I hope this short tutorial helps those who are thinking about starting an online business. Creating a site for your product can be a daunting task sometimes, but is really not all that difficult with the right tools. Well here goes…

The word “minisite” can refer to a number of different things. Some people call small niche article sites minisites, but that isn’t the general use of the word. In Internet marketing, the word “minisite” is generally used to refer to very small websites that are set up to sell a product – usually an eBook or other digital download.

Most minisites are only 1-5 pages. Some of them are only a single sales pitch page, plus perhaps a thank you page for after the customer orders. Others have a contact page, a terms of service page, a frequently asked questions page, or other general pages.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll just work on creating a single page minisite, and we’ll cover only the design – not the sales copy. Most minisites have several key parts. They usually have a header and footer, although some have only a header, or may have neither.

Special note:  One of the best free site editors I’ve found is here!

They also have a sales letter of some sort, which is used to sell the product. Finally, they have an order button that is clicked when a customer wants to purchase the product. Some minisites also have an eCover, which is a computer-generated image that mimics what the product might look like if it was a physical product.

For example, if the product is an eBook, the eCover might look like a hardcover or paperback book cover (sometimes a spiral notebook, too). If the product is a membership site, the eCover might be a membership card. Software products usually have a 3D software box as their eCover.

The first step in creating a minisite should be creating your eCover, if you intend to use one. Most people create their eCovers with Photoshop, because most eCover action scripts only work with Photoshop. If you don’t have Photoshop, you may need to create it from scratch, or have it made for you by a professional graphic designer.

After you have your cover design, you’ll need to create a header. Although some marketers don’t use headers, most do. A well-designed header can draw attention to your headline, and it can make your site look more professional.

The header should contain your product’s name and a tag line – like a one-sentence blurb that tells what your site’s about. It should also contain a photo that’s related to your niche, and it might also contain a small version of your ecover – all tied into a theme for your demographic.

Let’s say you’re creating a minisite to sell your dog-training eBook. Your header would potentially contain a picture of a woman pointing at a dog, and the dog sitting down. Then the text on the header might say something like the following: Dog Training 101: The Ultimate Guide to Training Your Puppy or Adult Dog!

Don’t make your header too large. If the header is so large visitors can’t see the headline without scrolling, it’s too big! It should attract attention to the headline, not hide it. Headers are generally between 700 and 800 pixels wide and 100-200 pixels in height.

The footer is usually the same width, but about half the height of the header. It may only contain the product name or logo, but may also contain an image or copyright notice. Finally, you need an order button that draws a lot of attention. Your button might contain your eCover, plus a brightly colored button and a call-to-action, such as “Click Here for Instant Access!”

If you have the money to invest, you might consider ordering a minisite package from a professional designer. For about $300, you’ll get the header, footer, eCovers, and sometimes extra banners that you can use for off-site promotions.

Something is stirring in the bowels of the internet.

A “movement” so strong that only the big guys will survive.

I started seeing the change when Firefox broke the IE hold on internet browsers.

Now many sites are owned by a select few with much of the internet traffic directed to them.

In fact, the top 100 sites have more traffic than the next 900 combined.

Seth Godin made an interesting point on his blog about this traffic he labeled “the power law curve!”

I am afraid the few are going to rule… then the internet as we know it now will disappear.

You see traffic is the lifeline of every site… but you already knew… didn’t you?

Do you believe everything you see?

Do you believe everything your read?

Internet marketers have sort of learned now that everyone is not stupid, but are buyers when the facts are straight!

Screen shots can be an excellent way to convince people to buy a money-making product, but there are some things you should consider before you do it. It’s not always the best choice to offer screen shots as proof.

One major thing to consider is the FTC. Any earnings claims you make must be backed up with verifiable proof. This means you should keep extremely accurate records about your earnings, and you should be prepared to offer this information to the FTC if you’re ever investigated.

Don’t automatically assume you’ll never be investigated. All it will take is a few buyers to complain that they didn’t make the same $50,000 in two months that you claimed you made and you really might be investigated. Always have proof to back up any claims you make.

The screen shots themselves aren’t enough, because the FTC knows those can be faked. You might have to provide affidavits, bank account records, and tax records. So make sure you really have all of your ducks in a row if you’re going to offer screen shots or claims about your earnings.

Also, never use screen shots from someone else’s account as proof of “the kind of money that can be made” with your technique. For one thing, it’s not right to steal images from other people. You might get into trouble for theft of their intellectual property.

Plus, you have no way to prove that their screen shot isn’t faked! That’s a big gamble to take, because if you happen to be investigated, you’ll have no way to back up your claims. You certainly can’t tell the FTC, “Oh, but I stole this image from the website of James T. Guru. Go ask him about it!”

If you do use them, make sure you black out any customer data, like their names, email addresses, or credit card numbers. They deserve privacy. And be sure to black out any sales that didn’t come directly from the technique you’re teaching.

A lot of marketers seem to forget this, and the FTC might find your tactics dishonest if you fail to show only the money you earned specifically from the technique you’re teaching. If you can back up your claims, and you have all of your banking records and tax documents in order, screen shots can be a great way to convince people to try your product.

When people see an account full of hundreds of payments, or they see a very large amount of money made in a relatively short period of time, they get eager. People who aren’t earning much money desperately want to change that. They get dollar signs in their eyes, and they want to know how you did it.

Screen shots can help convince people that you might really be telling the truth when you claim you know how to make $50,000 in two months, or you can get a website onto the first page of Google for a competitive term, or you can get 10,000 visitors to a brand new website in just 30 days. Screen shots help make it more real.

Just remember – always keep records. Make sure your screen shots can be validated and verified. And be very careful to show accurate information. You don’t want to give anyone any ammunition to use against you, especially the FTC.

Keeping accurate records and being very careful to show truthful information could be the difference between losing everything you own and staying out of trouble if you’re ever investigated.

Clickbank’s policy is now such that they have to verify a screen shot from them.

Don’t let Photoshop get you in trouble!
