There's a very simple thing you can do to increase profits from your email list. When new subscribers sign up for your Aweber list, be sure to sell a product on the Thank You page.
Gernally people want to sign up for your list becuase you are offering something they they want access to now. A tip, a free report, access to a teleseminar, etc. While they are in the "I want information" stage, stike while the iron is hot.
You do this by making an offer in the 'thank you for subsribing' page. You coudl say, "your teleseminar will be available tomorrow. In the meantime I recommend you check out X product, which taught me how to do X."
Or - have the thank you page redirect to an affiliate product after 5 seconds. If you find the right product with strong copy, it will do the selling for you. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Now don't direct them to any old product. Make sure it is something valuable. Otherwise you'll just get a high rate of returns or no conversions to purchase.
Aweber also lets you create an unlimited number of autoresponders, which is another great way to immediately follow up with your new subscriber with multiple messages regarding an offer. Just remember, don't include more than one product per an email.
Quick Tip to Increase List Profits
How to Increase Clikthru
Affiliate marketing, in some respects is a clickthru numbers game. Generally speaking, the more clicks you get the more affiliate sales you will get.
But what if you not only got more clickthrus, but actually increased the quality of those clicks. In other words, clicks that actually made you money.
There is a way to do this with the content you deliver. If you make your content more personable and regular, your readers are more likely to click on the links you recommend and purchase from you . . . which means bigger affiliate checks.
A blog is a great way to accomplish this, but there is another tool that internet marketers use to build relationships. Email.
By creating an email list, and regularly sending an email to those people on your list, you quickly build a relationship. In turn, those emails will draw people back to your website or direct them to click your links.
With an email list, you are no longer posting to your blog and hoping people stumble upon your post. You are actively going to your readers, rather than hoping they come to you. Statistics show that the clickthru rate is 20% higher in emails as well.
If you need an email service, Aweber is a highly respected program used by the majority of internet marketing warriors. It's the most affordable and in my opinion has the best interface and customer service. I don't think many would argue with me there.
An email campaing will help you increase your affiliate sales, get more people to sign up for your SFI Gateway page, or just bring them back to your website. If you don't have an email list, get one started now with Aweber's forms that they create for you. Waiting too long to start an email list is my #1 mistake that could have gotten me to make more money sooner.
How I Got on the Front Page of Google Overnight
The first time I got my website on the front page of Google, it was a complete mistake. I couldn't believe it. I literally built a website, posted a couple ads about what I promoted, and the next morning I tried some keyword searches in Google just for click. Bam! There I was, all the way at the top.
How the hell does a brand new website do this?
All you have to do is get a link to your site listed on a highly ranked site that Google crawls all day long. There are a couple that you can quickly and easily do this:
- Craigslist - look in San Francisco or other cities that have been on there for a long time
- USFreeads - This one is the king to get listed quickly. Craiglist has pretty strict moderators that knock down your ads before they get posted. USFreeads is Craigslist with no rules.
- Yahoo Answers
- Start a Squidoo lens
