In fact, as proof I built 100% of this site by myself without any experience whatsoever.<\/p><p>But there are some fundamental flaws with the affiliate marketing model mostly because so many key factors that you work on are ultimately out of your control including:<\/p><ul><li>SEO<\/li><li>Offers<\/li><li>JV Partners<\/li><li>Social Media Platforms<\/li><\/ul><p>All of these things come and go and can disappear literally overnight.<\/p><p>The more you rely on these things the more volatile your internet business really is.<\/p><p>That\u2019s where email marketing comes in.<\/p><p>Email marketing to your own private list of fans, customers, and followers will always be 100% under your own control.<\/p><p>In fact, your list is the one asset that nobody can take away from you.<\/p><p>Jeff Walker explains:<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_8  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\"><div

its important too because it will become the first impression you make to your new subscribers so you want to make sure you come across the way you want to be perceived.<\/p><p>As you\u2019ve learned by now the best part of auto-responder software like AWeber is that your messages are delivered to your subscribers automatically, and in the proper order, as they join your list.<\/p><p>To make this magic happen you\u2019re going to have to write an initial welcome email and perhaps at least a few follow up messages.<\/p><p><strong>How Many Follow Up Emails Do You Need?<\/strong><\/p><p>So how many messages do you need to write before sending people into your list funnel?<\/p><p>That\u2019s a great question and one without a definitive answer.<\/p><p>It depends upon how much work you want to do up front and how timely and relevant you want your messages to be.<\/p><p>I\u2019ve opted in to lists that have anywhere from one to sixty messages already completed, queued, and ready to deliver.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re more hands-off you may want to write as many messages as you can up front to minimize your work on the back end.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re more involved in your business on a daily basis you may want to consider writing only one or two auto-responder messages and the rest live and delivered as a\u00a0<em>broadcast message<\/em>.<\/p><p>A broadcast message is one that\u2019s sent immediately and not pre-scheduled.<\/p><p>I learned list building from the legendary marketer Frank Kern.<\/p><p>Frank prefers to write and queue only one initial welcome message and the rest he delivers live as a broadcast message.<\/p><p>This does take more work but keeps your messages timely, relevant, and news-worthy.<\/p><p>Ultimately it\u2019s up to you on how to implement your list strategy.<\/p><p><strong>How Often Should You Email Your List?<\/strong><\/p><p>This too is discretionary since frequency is really your decision.<\/p><p>Plus every niche is different.<\/p><p>Many guru\u2019s believe you should email you list every single day.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div id=\"Engagement\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_24  et_pb_text_align_left

Failure to Use Responsive Design<\/strong><\/p><p>Providing content that looks good is just as essential as making it useful and helpful.<\/p><p>Also, the design itself needs to be functional, so that it guides the user from the beginning of the article to the call to action button, without too many unnecessary distractions.<\/p><p>But, a lot marketers base their design on how it will look on large desktop screens, or screens of their laptops.<\/p><p>Turns out that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalriver.com\/2015-consumer-views-of-email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><u>almost 70% of users<\/u><\/a>\u00a0check their email using their smartphones, which means that should focus on how your email design will look on smaller portable devices.<\/p><p><strong>2. Not Segmenting Your Email List Properly<\/strong><\/p><p>People are looking for a more personal experience when looking to purchase a product or a service.<\/p><p>They want to feel as if it was made specifically for them. This means you need to make custom emails that will address their needs and pain points.<\/p><p>Of course, you probably don\u2019t have the time to create a bespoke email for every single one of your potential customers, but you can divide your email list into several groups, each with its own specific needs.<\/p><p>For this, you will need to take at look at analytics data, as well as current trends, and user profiles to be able to create a perfect email pitch.<\/p><p><strong>3. Being Too Promotional<\/strong><\/p><p>As mentioned in the paragraph above, today\u2019s audiences are very shopping-savvy, which means you will have a hard time winning them over with generic adverts.<\/p><p>They don\u2019t care about your company or your product. What they care about is how it will benefit them, how it will make their life better.<\/p><p>If you are selling something, you should promote it by all means, but try and shift the accent towards all the user benefits your product can provide.<\/p><p>Instead of basing your ads on just facts, try approaching thing from a more emotional angle.<\/p><p><strong>4. Your Email Subject Line Isn\u2019t Clear Enough<\/strong><\/p><p>People process a ton of information on a daily basis, especially online, which means you only have so much time to grab their attention.<\/p><p>If your email message is too lengthy or if your subject line is unclear, they aren\u2019t likely to read through the entire message.<\/p><p>This is why it\u2019s essential to craft a subject line that will capture their attention right from the get-go.<\/p><p>It should include your topic.<\/p><p>Is it a promotion or a special discount? Then say so.<\/p><p>Let them know what it is that you have to offer them.<\/p><p><strong>5. Not Monitoring the Results Of Your Campaigns<\/strong><\/p><p>If you are not tracking the results of your campaign, you will not be able to know which elements of it have worked, and which haven\u2019t, meaning that you won\u2019t be able to improve upon them the next time around.<\/p><p>Apart from that, you should also develop a mechanism through which you can follow up with your audience.<\/p><p>For example, if they have subscribed for a free trial of one of your products, you should make sure to contact them after the trial period has ended in order to remind them about your product, so that some of them actually end up buying it.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

TO BUILD AN EMAIL MARKETING LIST I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard it a thousand times before. \u201cThe money is in your list\u201d. Updated: January 1, 2025\u00a0Written by\u00a0Bill Burniece Introduction: Your email list = money. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard it before many many times but it\u2019s true. If you have something to sell your list will bring you more income than any other single method. Not only is your list the most important asset you have but it can come with you. What I mean by that is if you have a website on your chosen topic that dies for whatever reason your list will be unaffected by it. You can simply start a new site and move all your peeps over to the new site with one email notification. It sure beats starting all over again. On this page I\u2019ll show you how to build an email list step-by-step. HOW TO BUILD AN EMAIL LIST AT A GLANCE We\u2019ll go in depth about how to create your own money-making email list below, but here is a summary: Email marketing is critical to your success since it delivers the highest ROI of all digital marketing strategies You\u2019ll discover why email marketing is so important You\u2019ll learn how to build an email list in 4 simple steps This page is Step 6 in my free affiliate marketing training series. You\u2019ll find the hub page that lists all of the steps and links\u00a0located here WHY YOUR EMAIL LIST IS SO IMPORTANT In my opinion affiliate marketing is the greatest job in the world. It\u2019s one of the fastest ways to make a high income online, in a relatively short amount of time, and with little risk or expense. You get to work when you want to and from where you want to. Since you\u2019re selling somebody else\u2019s products and services there is no order fulfillment or customer service involved which in my experience (with my other business) are the two biggest headaches. Which Online Marketing Model? There are ways to make money online without a website but I definitely recommend the tried-and-true model where you make your own website. You can start your own affiliate website in three simple steps, with little expense, and without any experience. It\u2019s so easy. In fact, as proof I built 100% of this site by myself without any experience whatsoever. But there are some fundamental flaws with the affiliate marketing model mostly because so many key factors that you work on are ultimately out of your control including: SEO Offers JV Partners Social Media Platforms All of these things come and go and can disappear literally overnight. The more you rely on these things the more volatile your internet business really is. That\u2019s where email marketing comes in. Email marketing to your own private list of fans, customers, and followers will always be 100% under your own control. In fact, your list is the one asset that nobody can take away from you. Jeff Walker explains: Direct Communication With Your Audience Your list is the most effective way to communicate and engage your audience with information, offers, news, tutorials, and joint ventures. They subscribed to your list to hear what you had to say so they\u2019re interested in not only what you\u2019re doing and what you think they should be doing too. They\u2019re fans. How Much Is Your List Worth? I don\u2019t have any quantitative data to back this up but many list building experts believe that on average each subscriber on your list is worth $1 per month in income potential. This may or may not be true, and I\u2019m sure the value swings wildly from niche to niche, but there\u2019s no denying the fact that a subscriber who likes and trusts you is more likely to buy from you. That\u2019s just common sense. If you\u2019re just getting started in affiliate marketing don\u2019t be intimidated by the seemingly daunting task of getting started with list building. All lists, regardless of size, were created one email address at at time. One of the best ways to learn list building is to select a few affiliate marketers that you know and like and simply subscribe to their lists. You\u2019ll quickly grasp what it\u2019s all about. List building and email marketing is so critical to your long term success in internet marketing that I\u2019ve broken it into a four step process for you below. HOW TO BUILD AN EMAIL MARKETING LIST IN 4 SIMPLE STEPS: List Building Software The Ethical Bribe Opt-In Forms Follow Up Message Strategies Before we get started, please let me first tell you that you do not need to have any technical skills or experience to set up your first automated email list building system. It\u2019s super easy\u2026 STEP 1: LIST BUILDING SOFTWARE List building is easier than you may think. List building software tools automate the entire process for you once you get it set up and getting started is quite simple. There are many list building software products to choose from but in my opinion the gold standard is still\u00a0AWeber. I\u2019ve used it for all of my list building for nearly a decade now and still love it. Autoresponder Emails What is an autoresponder? It\u2019s a program that automatically generates a set response to all messages sent to a particular e-mail address. AWeber develops and runs an opt-in email marketing service used by over 120,000+ small businesses, bloggers and entrepreneurs around the globe. There are alternatives out there but I believe AWeber is second to none when it comes to email automation reliability. Why AWeber?\u00a0 Most of all: reliability. And some easy to learn features including: So, step one in list building is to\u00a0go get AWeber\u00a0or a similar list building software product to get started. And if you click on my link to buy AWeber I will be paid for the referral just like you will once you\u2019re up and running. In the next lesson I will go into the ethical bribe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3937,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-affiliate-marketing-for-beginners"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3199"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4582,"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3199\/revisions\/4582"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/development.brstdev.com\/highpayingaffiliateprograms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
