If you’re an online marketer then you know that one of the keys to success in your home business is “in the list”. Every training course will tell you that and every sponsor or mentor will preach this to you. But just how do you do that?

Well first you have to generate traffic to your site…and that’s another entire training course. For now let’s assume that you have an interested prospect. He or she is looking for something similar to what you sell but there just not quite ready to buy.

If you capture that name and email address and then do nothing with that while they are contemplating a purchase, you can be assured they will go elsewhere and you stand a very good chance of loosing the sale. So how do you keep them interested in YOU?

Email -it’s a perfect way to stay in front of your prospects.

There are many new home business owners that fail to follow up with these prospects for several reasons; one they simply do not know how and for another they don’t know what to say or how to approach them.

So here are a few guidelines to follow to ensure a good email follow up series.

Start with a thank you page. Let your customer know that you received their request and reinforce what they have purchased or subscribe to. It is also appropriate here to ask for a confirmation to ensure compliance with any anti spam laws.

If you are not going to ask for a confirmation then provide a link to the product or service. Make sure you have them white list your email so that future correspondence does not end up in the junk.

Now your email follow up series begins. The most efficient way to manage this is by using an autoresponder product. If you are unfamiliar with this go to Awber or GetResponse to get more information. Put simply they automate the sending of your emails.

The first email should be sent immediately after your customer took action. Welcome them again and re-assure them that they have made a good decision in purchasing your product or service. Again give them access to any download links and ask them to keep this email for future reference.

In the second email you should start with mentioning the product or service again and give a bit more detail on what they can expect from you in the future. This is a great way to start branding yourself and building your relationship with them.

In the third email you can begin to recommend other products or services you offer as well as other affiliates. If you start too soon pitching a product you run the risk of offending your new customer.

The forth email should be nothing more than an offer to assist them in anyway you can. Give them multiple ways to contact you and make VERY sure you let them know they are a valued customer.

Finally continue with this format for -well forever if you like or until they unsubscribe. It is very important to balance help and knowledge with sales offers. Keep all your correspondence casual not stuffy, and be honest. This is all about relationship building.

Follow these few simple suggestions and you will build a list of responsive buyers any top marketer will envy.

For example, here’s an excellent follow-up sequence you should use after they signup for your list or buy a product…

Message 1 (Instant) – Send them a download link to the product, thank them for their purchase or signup and give them a way to contact you for help, support or questions. This can be simply saying “reply to this e-mail for assistance” or a link to a support desk.

Message 2 (3 Days After First Message) – Ask them if they were able to download the product okay and let them know that you are available for any questions they may have and let them know how to get in contact with you again.

Message 3 – (10 Days After First Message) – Point to a great benefit/feature of the product that they just got from you and tell them specifically how to enjoy that benefit. If it’s an eBook, tell them the page number and where to read the information they can use. If it’s a physical product, describe how to do something specifically that helps them.

Message 4 – (20 Days After First Message) – This message is meant to cover common questions that someone might have about your product. If you don’t’ have any questions or if your product is still new, you will want to go through your product and think what a customer may ask and write these down. Another option is to check out the websites of competing products and see if they have an common questions listed that you can use to mold your own.

On the other hand, if you have questions that people have sent you regarding your product that you have answers, simply gather the questions and answers and arrange them into a message.

This message is meant to address any blocks that the customer may be having regarding the use or consumption of the product that they just haven’t had the time to ask.

Message 5 – (30 Days After First Message) – This message should contain a bonus. Now, whatever you are selling, whether it be a digital or physical product, I always recommend the bonus be digital. Why? You can offer some information that enriches the use of their product and helps them get more out of it while delivering it in a way that costs nothing to product or deliver.

The best part is that they get this instantly. I also recommend that you setup a sales page that shows that you are really selling the bonus so that they get the feeling of “getting something paid for free” rather than just getting something that someone specifically created to be a freebie.

Okay, this month long sequence of messages is what I like to call “nurturing the customer”. In the first month you don’t try to sell them anything. You help them by making sure that they got their product, helping them consume it or use it and also answer any questions or concerns that they may have. You cap it all off with a bonus that further increases the value that they received out of your and makes them an even more satisfied customer.

Like in other marketing techniques, you must follow different guidelines to ensure that you will achieve success. These guidelines will help you to do effective and thus profitable marketing plans. The first thing you need to do is to create subcategories in your lists. Separate people who are already your customers. You also need to have a list of those who have new inquiries.

In sorting, you need to separate those who do not want to receive any of your messages. You will encounter lots of these in your online business. Do not be discouraged. All you need to do is have a separate list for them so you won’t send them any message that may get them angry.

You need to respect people. You must only send them a message when they contact you. Being the one to contact them may irritate some. Others may just delete your message if they are not interested. If that happens, you will just waste your effort and time.

For effective email marketing, you must provide something useful or informative. You can give those newsletters or special reports or anything which you think will make them contact you. It would not be likely that they will contact you without giving them anything. This is a common mistake of online businesses. They assume that people will just knock at their door without giving them the reason to do so.

Constantly give them the information that they want. However, do not overload their emails. You just need to send what you think will be useful to your customers. Sending useless information may cause you to lose a number of people.

Make your messages different from the previous message. If you were able to send them sales letters, you should have another type of letter sent out the next day. You can send advertising materials. You may also give them some reviews bout your products. Furthermore, you can also send them information about your company such as its history.

You must also send follow-up letters. This will be helpful in determining how they would respond. You can give them offers about your products. If you get a positive response, then you are now ready to work with them. This is an effective method of identifying who will likely be your customers.

To maintain their interest, you must be creative. You can make use of online contests, questionnaires, or interviews related to your products. This is also an effective measure to gauge how responsive the members in your list are. You will also identify those who do not give response and create a plan where you can get them to be active.

email marketing presents a great way to build a good relationship with your customers. However, you could not just send out emails and wait for people to contact you. You must also understand the different strategies and techniques to get the interests of people. However, you cannot please everyone. No matter how good you market, there will still people who will not appreciate your effort.

It is actually a form of direct marketing which is used for commercial purpose. In a broader sense, every email sent to the potential customers or present customers for the purpose of promoting your business or services is email marketing. A lot of small businesses are getting benefited by this form of marketing. In order to get benefited by this marketing, there are certain things you need to take care of.

Keep Your Communication Clear:

As we have mentioned earlier, it is a form of direct marketing, therefore, while opting for email marketing, make sure that you communicate with your customers with a clear vision. Lack of clarity in your communication method may lead you to failure of your communication purpose. Therefore, while sending any email to your potential customers, keep your message simple, so that your customers can understand it better and thus, can opt for your service.

Long Term Relationship:

In order to get benefited from email marketing, you have to thrive for creating long term relationship with your customers. Usually, when people receive any email from any business or service provider, just by seeing the subject line of their email, they delete them. Therefore, if you want your emails to be read by your potential customers, try to avoid putting your business or service name in the subject line. In order to create long term relationship with your customers through email marketing, make sure that you maintain a very good relationship with your customers.

Show Your Care:

Though the main purpose of your business is profit, but at the initial stage of your business, you should not make your customers realize that you are only concerned about your business. Showing the care for your customers is very essential. It will create a sense of reliability among your customers about your services and products. You have to make them feel that you care for them and therefore, you are providing this service or product to them.

Finally, we can say that customer is the soul of any business. Without customers, business has no existence. In order to promote your business online or make your online presence more visible to your customers, email marketing is a very effective way. Another way of promoting business online is article marketing where promotional articles are written about the services and products and then distributed in various article websites. When people visit those article sites, they will go through those articles and thus, promotion of the services will be done properly.

“…Making This The MOST VALUABLE ‘Sales Generating Machine’ For Website Promoters Of All Times.”

“Soon You’ll Agree With Me That The Benefits Are Worth Hundred Times More Than ANY Safe-list On The Internet…”

If you’ve been searching for information on reaching large audiences and getting more traffic to your website, then you’ve probably come across BusinessWorldList.com. And, if you are like me then you probably wondered what the story is behind this popular mailing list.

Well, here’s the truth: This list is the real deal.

Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that I was hesitant when I first decided to join “BusinessWorldList.com” But after I started advertising my website on this list, I was literally blown away by the effectiveness of it.

The first thing I noticed as soon as I gained access to their member’s area was that ‘it was a lot more than just a safe-list’ — the members area was jam packed with innovative tools to improve traffic and sales, I know that this sounds like an overwhelming amount of information, but one of my favorite things about this website — which you’ll discover right away — is that it is extremely user-friendly and easy to reach a large audience (over 46,500 and growing).

For example, as soon you login you can create your ads in HTML format without the knowledge of HTML coding. Already have an ad ready? Skip to the next step, just copy and paste your ad on to the mailer and click a button — your ad is instantly sent out to over 46,500 on their mailing list.

If you think that this is the only advantage you’ll get, wait till you see all of it — internal announcements (adAnnounce feature) to the entire mailing list (announce your offers to the entire list, 100 times a day if you want), ad tracking, other submission tools, and so on…

And the best part is that you can see responses as soon as you start using the tools.

But what impresses me most about this neat tool is that — for just $12/month you could easily make your investment back 10 folds (with the right product) the first time you use it.

“BusinessWorldlIst.com” is considered by many marketers as the most effective marketing list, since it reaches mass audience with the click of a button. Thousands of marketers use it on a daily basis and swear that it is The Best Safelist out there. I give this product my absolute highest recommendation.

One way to keep your information safe is to keep it secure. Twitter rolled out an update to support OAuth not too long ago; OAuth is a way to never, ever give out your password. When a web application wants to get access to your account, they don’t want your password or your secure information, all they want is just an access token. You don’t even have to login here, or there, or anywhere except Twitter. That way, they don’t have your password, and if they are abusing your account, you can deny access anytime.

Another way to keep your information safe is to always use a virus scanner. Malware, Trojans, and anything can get into your computer; you want to keep them out. They’re like those stalkers that watch your every move; when you enter a password, they jump right on it, and take your account! You don’t want that to happen. You may be thinking Virus Scanners cost lots of money. Actually, they don’t. There are plenty of free scanners, along with online scanners; try AVG or Kaspersky or Avast.

Being safe is a major thing to keep in mind when signing up for web applications, and being secure is what you want to be. Keep your information safe and secure by using only OAuth enabled applications and always using a virus scanner.

Get Personal
As popular as email has become, unfortunately spam has become just as popular. Just about everyone gets spam delivered to their inbox and thus many are quick to delete anything that even resembles an ad or appears generic in nature. In an effort to dodge your recipient’s delete button, and get your emails open, it is important to use the most beautiful & appealing words to your reader’s ears or eyes, their name! Addressing your prospect by name and customizing the emails creates a personal setting where they’re more prone to feel important and valued and eager to read on.

But Not Too Personal
How willing would you be to give your name, email address, phone number & street address to someone you just met? My guess is not very willing. Testing has shown that the more personal information you ask for the less likely people are to fill out a form. So what’s the best way to convince the reader/viewer to leave their contact information? Don’t ask them for their name, rank, and serial number. An email is really all you need, but if you want to personalize future email mailings, you’re going to need their name. Make your initial request for contact info at most, a name and email address to ensure a higher opt-in rate.

Be Authentic
As mentioned earlier, people have little tolerance for spam, and they’ll quickly send anything that smells of crap into the trash. Forget the hype, misleading subject lines, and over usage of exclamation points & capitalization. Provide good quality information and resources and keep the subject lines on topic. Create an email campaign that will form deeper relationships, gain trust and establish your credibility. Don’t give your recipients any reason to be suspicious of your intentions.

Respect Their Privacy! Respect Their Space!
We all see the small print below the request for contact information that promises not to sell, trade, rent, or share the information provided – plain and simple, keep your promise! Respect their privacy! Along the same lines, be considerate of when you’re sending the bulk of your emails. The fact that people are usually a lot busier around the holidays translates into less time for trivial things, so expect email open rates to be lower and limit your email marketing during these times.

Have a Clear Call To Action
Getting an email opened and read is only half the battle, the real victory dance celebration begins when your reader follows through on the desired call to action of the email. Whether it’s to click a link, purchase of a product, or filling out a survey, the reader must clearly understand what you want them to do after reading the email.

Check Your Links
As simple as this sounds, there are way too many email marketing campaigns that take the set and forget benefits of an autoresponder literally. They write the email series, schedule it to be delivered, and then forget it. To avoid embarrassment and possibly even worse, an unsubscribe and lost prospect/customer, make it a regular habit and frequent routine to check any links included in your email series.

Create Brand Awareness
A long term benefit of email marketing is to develop brand name recognition. Ideally, it would be in your best interest to have your customers be able to easily identify and remember your brand. Assuming your customers are satisfied with the first transaction, referrals and loyalty are just a conversation away as long as your brand has become familiar and to them.

Now for any of these email marketing tips to even work, you have to be collecting email addresses. Running a successful email marketing campaign will no doubt take some work and effort, but a well planned strategic email campaign can dramatically increase business growth and profits. To excel with your email marketing, get to know your target market, treat them well, deliver what is promised, and make a lasting impression.

No better time like the present to start implementing an email marketing campaign. For those who are successful in marketing are successful in business. To further ensure your small business marketing success, avoid these 7 Costly Online Marketing Mistakes.
