Having been member's for a while now I am still perplexed as to why so little emphisis is placed on the essential importance of list building? All the top dogs of internet marketing have built massive mailing lists. The Money Is In The List!
Once you have your own targeted mailing lists of mostly BUYERS not freebie downloaders you simply send one email and some will buy? Your conversion rate depends upon the relationship you have created with your subscribers and the perceived value that you have given them and the trust gained from doing so?
Simply putting a link within your site to an affiliate page of someone else's product is simply building their mailing list while throwing away any chance you have to ever sell to the same buyers again? So come on Kyle, lets tell people to build a list.
This small oversight ruins what otherwise is the very best membership training period? So how do you build a mailing list and more importantly a list of buyers not freebie collectors who never buy from you?
First you must get an autoresponder account. The cheapest by far is Mailchimp where you can get up to 2000 subscribers all for free before they charge you. The best is Aweber which costs $1 for the first 30 days, then $19 a month. Only when your list grows bigger wil they charge more but by then your earnings should cover that?
Start not by giving away tat but something of value preferably a condensed version of an upsell product or the first chapter of an ebook as a taster so that after some helpful tips you present them with the complete solution to their problem which many who got the basic version will want and some will buy?
Then over time in between more relationship building you offer more increasing in cost solutions in your follow up autoresponder emails of related products including eventuallty those you created or have PLR rights to sell? That in my opinion is a far better way then links where you are forever chasing the next sale instead of sending one email to your own mailing list.
