2. Email Gives You Predominance Over Your Traffic
With a large list of email subscribers, you can get tons of traffic to your blog by emailing your subscribers. Of course, you know getting a first page ranking in Google takes some time. So, working towards the first-page rank alone wouldn't be enough to get traffic. And, for your information, you could lose tons of organic traffic once Google updates its search algorithm.
If you depend on the social media traffic too, you'll discover that, without buying the Ads packages, you can't get much traffic. The social media platforms have gone fully monetized. So, for your information, it's no longer feasible to get as much traffic as you could get ever.
As for email, you have your predominance over it. Of course, it's certain that not less than 20% of your subscribers will check out the posts sent to them on each batch and this will still drive tons of traffic to your blogs.
3. Email Enables You to Direct Readers' Attention to Whatever You Want Them to Know
This is another great way in which email can serve as a brilliant marketing tool for driving tons of traffic to your blog posts. Email will do exactly what you want it to do for you without receiving any penalty from anyone and you have over 15000 MB disk space on each of your email accounts which you may not exhaust in a lifetime.
You can send emails to direct people to specific pages or posts on your blog or to a social media post be it on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, or Twitter.
4. Email Increases Conversions and Boosts Sales
When it comes to getting an increase in conversions and boosting sales easily, email can do a lot of that for you in the meantime once you've built trust with your readers. Once you've succeeded in making them see you as an authority, you'll drive a lot of sales.
Though the cost of running an email list may scare off some folks out there but, in the long-run, you'll find out that it's worth the token investment.
As for social media which most newbie bloggers believe in for traffic generation, it's now low for that purpose.
(i) As you’re dealing with your entire audience here presumably this it an autoresponder type eM system rather than conventional?
(ii) If so, autoresponder is an additional cost to your business, at what stage do you recommend stimulating traffic by eM, from the outset or later?
Given the above, please are you able to say a little about resource requirements. One of the challenges one has in setting up business online is finding out what it is you actually require so you may budget for it. I’m looking at Mail Chimp right now to support my blogging activity, it’s free for lists <1,000 subscribers but I understand does not like affiliate programs?
Thanks for this training. I already have an free email set up for one website but no traffic. The other doesn't have have traffic but it will need a paid autoresponder.
