Email Marketing didn’t die due to natural Causes.
If you truly want to make money online, then you need to take action. Sure there is a lot to learn, but I gave you a good starting point on the home page. If you sign up to a newsletter on someones site, what do you take a newsletter to mean? I know what it should mean and I handle it as such. Once you figure out your niche and have people sign up to your email list, treat them with respect. You don’t send them emails 3 times a day trying to get them to buy something. I personally don’t like to be emailed once a day, especially if it is to sell me something. You need to build a relationship and trust with the people who were kind enough to sign up to your email list. Sure most people sign up for the free gift you offer and if you email them everyday with absolutely no content and just a sales pitch. How long will they stay on your list? I know if I sign up, the person gets three shots to send me something other than a 3 or 4 line sales pitch, if I don;t receive some content to get a little familiar with this person then I hit the unsubscribe link.
I could go on and on about how poorly email marketing has become. In fact this post wasn’t even suppose to go there yet. I have been on many email lists over the years and it has changed drastically. It was once considered an art form the same as a sales page but not anymore. Up until a couple weeks ago I was on the email list of just two people that use email correctly and offer the people on there list something they can actually benefit from. Because of this I have been on their list for a few years. And now it is down to one. For some strange reason the other one that I really liked and respected has fallen into that useless crap category.
For anyone that actually reads this post keep a few things in mind:
- When you begin your email list be grateful for the people that give you their email address and offer them content on the subject matter of your website. You can always throw in a little sales pitch at the end.
- People do not like to be sold, they like to know how they can benefit from buying.
- Please don’t be one of those idiots that sends out three emails a day.
