Let me preface this first...

When we think or say something about ourselves, the more we repeat, they more that becomes our story. When you can recognize that you have said the same thing more than twice, good. That means you can stop from repeating the same line, story, whatever you want to call it.What happenes is that our story becomes our truth, even though it may not apply anymore.

I bring this up because I have stated in posts here, and in my personal life as well, that I process slowly.... And I do, with some things. It has taken me eons to really 'hear' the song lyrics to fully understand WHY that particular song was 'given' to me by my ex...lol...DOH!...

I changed that story, I no longer believe my process is slow, it's just more involved with looking at all of the parts involved.

When it comes to affiliate marketing and learning the tools we have in front of us, well, it's like going to a huge buffet after being covid-cooped up. Within minutes, all of your senses are in overdrive, and you stall out.



Finally, you grab a plate and head to where your 'go-to' food is, the one thing you know will be easy, something enjoy, while you look around at all the te fixings and wonder how you will finally make it to the dessert table....same thing when you start a task, you probably do the things you know first, and take time to figure out the other stuff.

Here's where the slow processing angle steps in....

I have been attending webinars and videos and purchasing various programs to learn how to make money online, since 2009, and for some reason, I could not tie things together.

I've spent the past 30 hours trying to figure our HOW to set up my email sign up/email campaign, and I finally figured it out what was missing.

See, sometimes, I need it spelled out. Come on, I know I am not the only one here. (I see you nodding in agreement...) So I thought I would spell it our in a blog post rather than to create a training... Oh, I will probably do that at a later date, but for now, just humor me.

There is a particular order around email campaigns to align properly., that has never quite been explained in a way that I could simply follow from A-Z.Until now.

I learned how to create the sign-up form, yet could not for the life of me, figure our what was going to happen next. I mean, sometimes, I need to know, and the need to know gets in the way of just following the system.

See, I have a cool sign up for to collect emails in exchange for a PDF, yet, even by following the video tutorial, there was no mention on how to connect the sign up to the PDF link so the subscriber would get a link after they confirmed the sign up.So, I used one of my alias emails to sign up and I received the proper response email, te I did not receive the email that siad I had signed up to receive a PDF. That was confusing. My signup form was designed to show that I was to receive something for providing my email address, yet, that did not occur. In fact, I sent a reply email to find out why not...It will be interesting to find out where THAT email reply went. I mean, do I get it in my AWeber ,messages??

Anyway, here's where I had my AHA moment...


I have ad blockers that sometimes impede production because I don't see All the page. So I opened a new browser, (Waterfox, from Mozilla...), and discovered that no, I was seeing all the page.

Segue...

When I first started going through the training here, what was shown in some procedures, had changed, so trying to name that zone, was difficult without the proper visual to line things up.

OK, back.

When I was following the training video, as recent as 8 months ago, the page layout was different, and I couldn't figure our why I did not have a horizontal menu bar to select key points that should have been there, like, MY ACCOUNT, important stuff like that, right?

So, on the other browser, I opened my Aweber account, and selected help&support.

Lo and behold, there it was in black text on white...

First, create the messages that you want to send...

Then, create the campaign to send those messages.

Well, shut the front door!

I KNEW that...(sheepish grin). OK, apparently, I skipped our metaphysically when that part came up or through...and I didn't add those two things together.

It has been written here, by some of you, that the missing puzzle pieces have finally appeared. And I will tell you, that it's about GD time I figured this our.

Even when I explained this process to a friend of mine, I was correct, yet, It did not dawn on me to do the same thing. Usually when we tell someone else, it reinforces the lesson, and we are able to really see the full picture. Technicolor. (Eastman Kodak 1954...).

OK, I'm heading back to set up the messages for my one campaign.I have plenty of PDF and downloaded material to offer for free in exchange for the email.

The next thing is to find profitable items that will help my subscribers.

Maybe I will go find some food, first, I worked up an appetite writing this...grin.

Last shot:

Little boy and his dad are in the park, eating lunch. Inquisitive boy asks, "Do trees poop?"

His father answered, "Sure, that's where we get #2 pencils from."

Hahaha, I actually read through that, hahahah because some parts seem quite familiar- you get what I mean 😜


I rewatched a training on email campaigns a few weeks back after you and DCarribean talked about emailing not being dead, and things clicked. Fortunately, I havent been doing this for long

Rudy

Thank you, Rudi!
Setting up my email, is right where I am!
A few months back Jay did a training on email accounts, ...well worth looking into.
He suggested we write out 5-10 letters for the campaign first!
I've also gone onto YouTube for steps as well, as you pointed out, some are not clearly spelled out.
Wish me luck!! LOL
Best!

That's true, just a matter of finding the training video. I'm sure I've already tagged it.. grin

I have a bunch of email letter examples, yet for some reason, I thought they were the campaign.
DOH!
So, now it's a matter of finding the direction to take when setting up the campaign...

Good luck, I'm sure you will do well!
