Putting Entertainment Into Your Email Strategy

Unless you’ve been trapped under a rock, you may have noticed an global entertainment EXPLOSION…

Reality Television and Celebrity News.

Think about it. We has become OBSESSED with the lives of others.

To make huge amounts of money, all you need to do is capitalize on this simple fact!

Your email marketing strategy should include adding your personal experiences inside the body of your messages. Then, Sandwich your affiliate offer inside your stories. Many marketers fail to do this with their campaigns, and just leave so much money on the table.

Having a combination of soft sell marketing tactics, and branding yourself though your own real life experiences, is key to email marketing.

You want your subscribers to know, like, and trust you. Do not hide yourself, let your personality shine, let them know who you are, and inside your emails, send yourself through your messages. This is CRITICAL beyond your deliverability rate because it’s about growing your bond, your trust, and a deeper relationship with your list.

Someone who does this one email marketing strategy VERY well is Mark Hoverson. To this day, I can still remember an email newsletter I once got from Mark. What he did was video tape his child’s first steps, place it on Youtube, and then plugged a promotional email inside his autoresponder client.

In the newsletter he incorporated both the first steps of his son, and his subscribers taking their first steps into marketing – WOW!

That email offer was entertaining, effective, and capturing. It was unlike any other e-mail I received. I will always remember it, and I ALWAYS look forward to reading more of his emails.

That is how you need to position yourself.

If from this blog post you get only one golden nugget added to your tool kit of tips, take this guide as a sign: You can get quality content ANYWHERE, really you can. Do a Google search for any type of information you want. The most viral, relevant, and quality packed content is just a click away.

But, what your subscribers can not get just ANYWHERE on the Internet is YOU. This is why you do not need to be competitive and there is nothing to improve. There is only one of you, you are original, and you are what people want, not some company.

They want your angle, your goals, your mind, your tactics, your thoughts, your like, your dislikes, your strategies, your personality, and your story. You are your brand, let it shine.

This, my friend, is TRULY the one email marketing strategy anyone can implement.

Understanding The Mindset Of Your Potential Customers.

When a potential customer visits a blog or a posted article, they’re in a mindset of obtaining information. They might be doing some some research, trying to find some data or information about a particular topic, or they might be searching for some current events. A seasoned marketer understands this and will tailor their sales techniques accordingly.

A marketing strategy can include giving some quality content and then suggesting a recommendation to learn more.

Now what about social media? So many marketers FAIL when trying to promote on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, why is this?

You see, the mind-set of a prospects in social media is very similar to a party. They want to socialize and meet people. Newbie marketers try and direct sell to the community and wonder why they aren’t making any sales.

Imagine getting asked to buy some new product when you’re at party, it’s not going to turn out well. Having an advertising and marketing plan different than socialization will just get you banned, in the eyes of the community.

Not tailoring your message to the mindset of your prospects will just look like spam. You need to establish different sales techniques for different mediums.

So what of emails? Many will tell you e mail marketing is a great business for direct marketing, but this could not be further to the truth. When someone opens your emails, they’re not looking for that hard sell.

You might be surprise to hear, but the midset of those customers is Entertainment, this is what they want, and this is what you need to supply for your campaign, to become effective. Implementing these simple little tips, in your email marketing strategy, will be what separates your e-mail campaign from the sea of other marketers.

Believe me when I say this, your list does not care about the multiple internet marketing services that Guru Bob is offering, a particular product or B2B service you’re offering, some new digital software tool that will make them millions, a spiffy new affordable management system, or even some profitable online marketing guide or e book. What they want is Entertainment.

Now, the obvious questions becomes; How am I suppose to entertain my list and make money, while building an email list?

An Email Marketing Strategy That Crushes Your Competition!

On this blog post, I’m about to share with you the ONE email marketing strategy that literally separates the Newbies from the Gurus.

This technique is beyond e-mail HTML formatting tips, some email marketing analysis tool, list building segmentation methods, gathering as many email addresses as possible, a new list builder pro system, or even deliverability and open rates.

I’m talking about diving into the mindset of your customers and how they do business. Understanding and implementing this one email marketing strategy will truly send your campaigns threw the roof.

This is Honestly the one post you want to read, if you’re thinking of building an email list…

All Strategies Are Not Created Equal

You know, so many marketers feel that content is KING. “Write highly quality content and your customers with flock to you like bees to honey!”

Sounds like a feasible solution right? With all the spam and junk floating around on the Internet, surely quality content will raise to the top!

WRONG!

Well, maybe just half wrong… Yeah, quality RULES when it comes to strategies for Google SEO and other Search Engines, BUT the same design just doesn’t hold true for e-mails.

Let me explain…

No matter where you customers are opening their emails; they might be at home sitting in front of their computer, they might be at Starbucks with their laptop, or they might even be on the go, checking their e-mail on their Blackberry, iPhone, or some other hand held device. Regardless, of how they are connected the last thing they are expecting is to open up some top notch, high quality report, article, or essay when viewing their inbox.

Believe me, this is farthest from the truth. Do you generally open your e-mail inbox just wishing for the high quality essay? I didn’t think so…

Hence, high quality content should definitely NOT be part of your email marketing strategy.

When developing marketing strategies, it’s crucial to use separate techniques when promoting throughout the Internet. Your prospects undergo different mind-sets and respond differently on separate platforms: SEO, social media, blogs, articles, direct marketing, ebooks, e-mail, etc…

Your email marketing strategy should not be the same as your article marketing strategy. Using the same methods for each one will not improve your performance, but just the opposite.

Option to unsubscribe

Providing an option to un-subscribe from your email list, builds confidence in the minds of your subscribers. This email marketing strategy, having it stated right on the opt-in form, has constantly raised opt in rates in many of my own websites. More people will just leave their contact details without any hesitation.

Sharing opt-in list

Sharing your opt-in list is a unique and secret list building tip. By joining giveaways and other JV promotional offers, you can grow your list, by utilizing from subscribers from other marketer’s list.

This particular list building strategy involves partnering with other marketers, offering each other’s free product to their own email list. Having done so, those subscribers will need to join your mailing list to receive your free offer.

Don’t reinvent the wheel, use the efforts of your peers to grow your own list.

Use some offline methods

Adopting some offline sales strategies will enable you to promote your website and build and email list in no time. You can place your website address on business cards, newspapers, bulletin boards, brochures and many other physical medias, but remember off-line marketing is not suitable in all cases, as you need a huge budget to capture the market.

How To Build Email List The Right Way

There are so many types of Internet business models you can jump into: affiliate marketing, SEO, Adwords, blogging, etc etc etc – I don’t care what type you choose, you goal should be to build email list of subscribers. I can pretty much guarantee that EVERY successful online marketer, in each one of those models, is building their list – AND with good reason – so many Gurus are making a KILLING utilizing their email list alone.

Now, how many times have you heard, “The Money Is In The List!”, but what you’re missing from all this is, “HOW?”

The biggest question I hear, time and time again is, “How do I build these money making email lists? I want to be able to write my own check day after day.”

Well, I always say the first step of building an email lists is to figure out what your freebie “bribe” is going to be. What I mean by this is that you need to GIVE your visitors some sort of FREE offer in exchange for their email address.

The obvious question is, “What should you give as a free offer?”

Simple, solve a problem, write about, and give it away. Yes, it’s really that simple. Don’t over complicate this, that’s all there is to it. You see building a giant email list is very easy, you just need to understand how to do so.

Now the next obvious question becomes, how do I find problems? This I can understand to be a little tricky for newbies, but you’re in luck!

I’m going to share with you a secret weapon that almost NO ONE uses!

My secret weapon is Amazon.com

So here are the steps:

1. Visit Amazon.com and search for your niche. There’s categories all over the place, all you have to do is search for books in your niche.

2. Find a book with plenty of comments and reviews.

3. Read the reviews.

That’s it!

These reviews are nothing short of golden nuggets, waiting to be mined. These are real life reviews, about what the reviewers like best and what they didn’t – this, my friend, is where you CAPITILIZE.

Find out what most didn’t like, what questions came up, and even things they liked most.

Solve these problems, with the reviewers in mind, and you’ll have yourself instant expert status. As an expert, you will gain the trust of your visitors, something very crucial when you build email list. This in itself, sets you apart from the sea of marketers you are competing with.

This method sounds so simple and makes so much sense, yet not many are doing this!

There’s tons of reviews, looking for answers, looking for change, looking for that someone to help them out.

Once you gain their trust, you’ll have a lasting relationship that will continue to line your pockets time and time again.

This should always be your primary focus when it comes to list building – money will always follow, trust me!

You need to become that go-to maven in your niche. The purpose of your email series is for that subscriber to know, like, and trust you.

Once you’ve built that relationship, it’s a slam dunk. Understand, your subscribers are willing to buy; they just need to know who to buy from. Build that relationship and become that person they purchase from – Don’t chase money, let money chase you.

There are many services that claim to be the best, but if you’re anyone in the Internet Marketing world, you know AWeber and GetResponse are the top competitors – and with good reason.

An auto-responder service is your bloodline to your business and should be part of every email marketing campign. I personally, cannot trust my database of customers to a free, no-name, website. $20 a month, compared to unlimited potential in riches, it’s a no-brainer.

3. Capture Email Addresses

In the Internet Marketing circles, we do this with Squeeze Pages.

A Squeeze page has one goal in mind, and that’s getting contact information from your website visitor.  If you want to know how to make money with an email list, you need a squeeze page.

List Building Strategies – Key to Success

I have to say, email list building is probably the single best sales method of all marketing strategies online. I truly believe that every Internet marketer has heard of listbuilding, in one way or another. But, what they don’t know is how to apply their list building techniques well enough to turn their subscribers list into cold hard cash.

Most marketers just fall short in incorporating the right list building strategies for their online business. You see, there is a flaw with the mindset of most online marketers today; the bigger the list, the more money they’ll actually make.

But having a huge opt-in mailing list is really only half the equation. What you really need is a responsive email list. Learning how to nurture and treat your optin list so they will become responsive to your e-mails should be your primary goal. Focusing on this simple fact, your opt-in list will grow naturally. Keep in mind, implementing the most effective list building techniques, you can cash in, even with a small list.

These sales strategies, given to you in this blog post, will be helpful for any marketer, newbies and gurus alike. Once you’ve mastered in applying these list building tips, you’ll be able to sit back as you watch your subscribers grow.

First and foremost, you need to give to all your prospects an equal importance and respect, as they all are people just like you. Keeping this idea close to heart will go a long way with your prospects.

Create Your Website

In this day and age, there are plenty of programs that will help you get your website started and maintained very easy, usually with just a simple click of a button. Someone with little or no programming knowledge can easily create their own website in no time flat.

Just about every on-line marketer has their own blog, this an important step to listbuilding. You need a way to funnel all your traffic to a centralized location. Having a blog is a perfect place for your prospect to know, like, and trust you.

Set Up A Freebie

You need to set up some sort of free offer. This will be used as an exchange for your traffic’s name and email address. Free offers can be in the form of reports, free software, discounted offers, and any other free downloads. I have even seen some Internet marketers go as far as to ship $1000 products to their subscribers, absolutely FREE. This specific marketing strategy is not for any newbie to try. But once you start making some real money, I always recommend giving away your BEST product for FREE.

Sounds a little backwards, but remember your goal: You want a list of LOYAL customers, that will buy from you time and time again. What better way then to give them something they will LOVE? The rule of reciprocity goes a long way.

In part 2 of my post, I will write about using offline marketing and sales strategies, using the email list of your peers, options to unsubscribe, and tell you about a list building video from the famous Alex Jeffreys…
