90% of My Income Comes from Email Marketing

90% of My Income Comes from Email Marketing

I own two large websites. Each website has 1,500+ pages, ranks high in Google, and gets good traffic from the search engines, referrals and paid advertising.

Despite the popularity and size of the websites, more than 90% of my income comes from email marketing (yes, I track it).

If you don't have a popup or popover, and opt-in forms on every page of your website you are REALLY missing out. You are leaving a TON of money on the table (and I assume you started a website to make money).

Most people who visit your website for the first time will not buy anything, nor will they return. That is the # 1 reason you need to start capturing emails.

Get an auto-responder. Build your list. Communicate with your email list several times per week. Provide valuable content.

Get people to like, know and trust you. Once you do that, you own your own ATM machine.

Not only can you promote affiliate products via email, but you can send your subscribers back to your website when you post new articles, which can create a surge of traffic.

The # 1 goal for my websites is to get people onto my email list, not to make money with my website.

Why? Like I said earlier, most people who visit your website will not buy anything, nor will they return UNLESS you get them onto your email list.

Food for thought.
