How to Pull In As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold
With Email Lists
By Jimmy D. Brown
The fortune is in the list.
If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that said, well,
I'd already have a fortune! :-)
However "broken-recordish" it may sound, it is a truthful
statement. The fortune REALLY IS in the list.
Fact is, if you possess the knowledge of how to grow
and profit from email lists, you can pretty much write
your own ticket.
And, if you'll read the remainder of this article, I'll
pass that knowledge right on to ya.
It comes down to getting folks to do four things...
1. REQUEST. First things first, you need to convince
people to subscribe to your list. That is, get them to
join your list of their own free will.
Usually, this involves giving away a mini-course, report
or newsletter from your web site. All you need is..
- An Attention Grabbing Title. (I could have chosen "4
Keys to Successful Email Promotions" for this article,
but is that as attention-grabbing as "How to Pull in
As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold From Email
Lists"?)
- A Handful of Bulleted Benefits. (A short list of 4-6
desirable things subscribers will learn if they join
your list. Think "what's in it for me?")
- An Email Submission Form. (Your autoresponder system
will provide this for you.)
NOTE: The BEST way to get folks to join is to embed the
above mentioned items DIRECTLY in the most prominent
place you have your site visitors' attention. Usually
this is 3-5 paragraphs into your sales letter or 1/3
of the way into an ezine article.
2. RECEIVE. After visitors to your site have "requested"
information by joining your list, it's critical that your
emails be delivered successfully to their inbox. With all
of the filters in place (among other hazards) this can be
quite a chore.
One thing you'll want to do for certain is check your
SPAM rating to make certain it's in an acceptable range.
Again, most of the better autoresponder services offer this
feature for you.
If yours doesn't, you can use the free tool at

You can also do things like...
- Get your subscribers to "approve" mailings from you.
- Authenticate yourself as a legitimate mailer when you
receive a "response challenge" from protection services
such as Spam Arrest.
- Use alternative formats of your email messages such as
"downloadable email messages" in PDF format. ( Free
report available at GetEmailResults.com )
3. READ. When your emails successfully arrive at the
inboxes of your subscribers, another task awaits - getting
them to actually open your message and read it.
This is going to depend upon your "subject line". It is
paramount that your subject line be intriguing enough to
convince your readers to stop what they are doing and take
a look inside.
One way to get this done is to create a swipe file of
email subject lines that have convinced YOU to read the
messages and then modify those subject lines for your
own use.
Ex. I received an email that had the subject line of
"This affiliate tip is almost too easy" that caught my
attention and forced me to read the associated message.
This subject line could easily be used in a variety of
different niches...
- This dieting tip is almost too easy
- This time management tip is almost too easy
- This marriage saving tip is almost too easy
4. RESPOND. When you have convinced your subscribers to
open your email message and read its contents, the only
remaining "task" is to get them to respond.
You want them to take action. Click a link. Go
somewhere. Ultimately, spend money with you.
The only way you'll be able to do this is follow a simple
catch phrase I've been teaching for years: "useful, but
incomplete".
It simply means this: your messages must provide content
that is useful to your subscribers (otherwise, they'll
unsubscribe faster than you can say "oops"!), but is also
"incomplete" in that there is some additional offer that
could enhance or maximize that content.
Ex. You might write an article that shares "7 Ways to
Profit With Autoresponders" to send to your list. That's
"useful" information to those who are interested in that
particular topic. It's also "incomplete" because they
need an autoresponder service to put the information into
action. That's your cue to promote your recommended
autoresponder service.
See how it works?
If you want to pad your wallet with profits by using
email lists, this is how you do it:
Get people to do these four things
- Request
- Receive
- Read
- Respond
This is a system that has never failed, will never fail.
I've used it. Others have used it.
Now, it's your turn to use it.

FOCUS
My phrase for today is: "I am able to focus and direct my energy and do those things I wish to do."
FOCUS - Follow One Course Until Successful
If you are an entrepreneur, you may find sometimes that focusing on one thing is difficult. You are attracted to "shiny objects", i.e. the next best thing on the market. You buy into the hype and you leave your project half done and wonder why you aren't making any money. (I speak from experience and if you talk to any of the "gurus" you will hear them say the same thing, that they spent thousands of dollars on different things before they focused on their money maker.)
I attended a session with Janet Legere of Prospect Geyser yesterday and she talked about building and using safelists - effectively. She talked about making sure you follow ALL the steps as you set up a program and finish ONE AT A TIME. To get that one program/safelist completed before moving on to another. I realized that I had failed to complete all the steps and today my focus is to completely fill in all the blanks with my Prospect Geyser membership.

Surviving Online
3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online
Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.
There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and that continue to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.
What are these three tactics?
1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.
Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding of what the product can do for those who buy them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.
You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive, compelling and include calls to action on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and make them want to find out more.
2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.
Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.
Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dump those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail themselves of your products and services.
3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that are focusing on your target customers and what you have to offer might just grab their interest.
Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can make 10 sales based on the average statistic. You must also remember that contacts do not often buy on the first contact and it may take 7-12 repeated contacts before they will make a purchase.
The tactics given above do not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It simply requires a little time and an action plan on your part.
Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end up maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business which not all marketers can do.
