E mail list building for Profit
Adding to yesterdays blog of remarkable content leading to remarkable confidence and profits, I wanted to clarify that building an e mail list is the best way hands down to achieve the remarkable profits part of the blog post.
Yesterday I mentioned that I had no idea who the people were that clicked through and helped me grab a few 7% amazon affiliate payments and one clickbank affiliate sale. If I had set up an e mail subscribe button or e mail offer campaign I could 'keep in touch' with people who visit my site a lot easier.
Rest assured on nearly every page I have a sign up form button that helps people get the latest blog post sent to them (its part of a plug in called Ultimate social media PLUS) via a free plug in I found. When I have an offer created, like a free e book or the first chapter of the book im writing, I will create an e mail sign up page to help me build a list that I can then send offers as well as awesome free content so that they read my e mails.
Getting this balance right is key and ive heard on good authority, every 4-5 e mails send them an offer. I do like that ratio as I know its too easy to lose respect for people who constantly send you offers. I know I have been totally put off by some respected blogs because its almost spam offers and I know how that has made me feel.
Instead focusing on helping people so that they share my content is far more important than the first quick sale as I want to have a big list of engaged readers/ subs. Having people share is just as important as buying in the beginning if you want to get some serious size to your list.
So quality, quality quality content is again the first and foremost priority as it has to be on your site to win people over and join your list, but then if you want them to buy and share, it has to be quality sales copy or quality information here as well.
It really is worth the effort to plan out and research good quality content so that it becomes natural for you in the future. I am so happy I have realized this as it means I take longer to write material but if I get mega sharing and fans made in the process - then I know it was totally worth it.
I would rather write 20 amazing articles than 100 meh ones that wont get searched or ranked very well, where as the 20 could be search terms that last years and are popular because they are genuinely helping people.
Lets go write some sexy stuff then people! :)
