The best email marketing tips | Create your online ATM machine...

Here are some of the best email marketing tips If you want to know how to use the power of email to create cash on demand like a ATM machine then read on... 

When you build a solid list you will literally sit around days and just think to yourself what can I promote and with a push of a button create a influx of income... 

Believe it or not it can happen...  Those are the exact words for a six figure a month money earner... I have the goods on how you can make this happen. You are bound to get value from this post...

It is possible to generate income without upsetting your list... 

People always ask " What percentage of you emails should be value based? "

Answer... ALL OF THEM 

the smart marketer thinks not how much can I squeeze out of them but what can I give them to be able to use 

All of your communication should be value based way... give away... 

Be Pickey with what you have promoted.

Don't feel you need to promote with everything... that everyone else is promoting... 

Just chasing the money... is short shightedness... 

TIP: Know the offer and the value of your product and or service and be able to talk about what it does not what it is... They care about what its going to do for them not what it is.... 

Most of the people that see your blog will not be on your list...(just a fact) always always always persuade them to try to get on your list... 

If you are a consistent blogger have a link within your blog and in your P.S line when you are not promoting something... That way they are either directed to join your list or go 

Now for everyone that has a MLM I want to go over how to PITCH it through the power of EMAIL.

Understand NOBODY wants a mlm business they want solutions to their problems

Be sly about this process otherwise you will get High Opt-Opts... 

Never hammer you MLM more then ONCE a month... through email I hope you are marketing every day... email them the reason why they should call you... email em the reason why your company is so awesome... 

Now what I do when it comes to email is I have a social bookmarking site called Onlywire.. Every time I create a blog post it turns it into a shortened link on Bit.ly.... 

So all I do is go over to Bit.ly grab my link to my blog and then post it to my email... 



So It does not have a long drawn out website address and the cool part is that I can custom make the link to reflect certain keywords that I want to use! 

Tip: Make the title of the link slightly different the the title of the blog so when people click on the link it has nothing to do with the company you are pitching....

Below is the link... 

Example  www.AskScottlindstrom.com/blog/dudeaskedwhatdoido

goes to blog >  Blog title :  Dude asked me , What is Empower Network? 

Keep congruency with the emails... 

If I had said my primary in the www part I would not have gotten a high click through rate..

Some of the clicks will come from the P.S line and NOT the body link...
You can create promotional banners WITHIN your blog posts that get seen by all traffic, double this up with the outgoing PS line 

So you need Autoresponding service.... when your making under 20k a month use either 

Aweber = http://bit.ly/get_response_autoresponder
or 
Get Response = http://bit.ly/get_aweber_autoresponder

If you are any type of marketer you need to be building a list and get a auto-responding service. 
You should use Autoresponders - That is pre-made messages that are sent out at a specific time...

If you are blogging consistently use very few auto responding messages. You don't want to send your list a automated message and then send them a message that is completely different then the pn

Tips for building a team and managing emails 

Should all your team get all your emails? Well that depends... Some emails should not go to your team there are different dimensions... some of your team maybe offline. So you don't want to upset some by pushing all online. 

Most important for team emails is events... and have your team be promoted at events some of these that you would not want to bother your whole list with...

There is a app called Group text at a event and have your team show up to events... 

Critical critical to get them to events.... 

Email 5 to 7 times a week... but there are some people that opt out and some people eat it up... you sell more stuff the more you put out... 

Best time to email is switch it out 8:15 am and 2 pm EST majority of people are on the east coast. 70 to 80 percent of the U.S is on the east coast.

Simple things to get a better response from your emails...

Let me go on record here , I am a fan of using email as a 
first contact with those on your list who you want to introduce your Network Marketing or Online business to. Some say it takes away the human element.

As of now it has become a real impersonal world with email and social media. -

The thought may be “Well, I’m busy, they are busy and this makes it easier on us both….”

“I don’t want to disturb them with a phone call. ”

So, if you utilize this method, here are some things you can do to increase your odds of getting some interest; and still keep some curiosity and posture in the process.

Steps to Get Your Email Opened

1.) First, do NOT send a mass email; and especially don’t send a mass email where everyone can see everyone else’s email because you didn’t do a BCC.

Make it personal and only between 5-10 a day. Make it manageable so you can follow up and keep track of how things go.

2.) Second, never just “spam a link” or go on and on about your opportunity.

3.) LESS is more. No more than a handful of sentences and Do not speak , NOT ONE WORD about the company, name, product or what it does.

Something like this might create a lot more interest than what most people do -

SUBJECT- Hey John, Question for you (use their name, after all, you know this person and it is a PERSONAL email!)

Remember, the only goal of the subject line is to GET THE EMAIL OPENED. It’s not to sell or sign anyone up.

BODY – I hope all is going well with you. I know you’re super busy, as we all are, and I am wondering if you might do me a favor.

I have finally found something to build an internet business around, and it’s looking pretty lucrative. I could use your help and opinion.

If I sent you a link to a video, would you take a look, let me know what you think, and maybe anyone you think of who I should share this with, as well?

Let me know if that would be okay and I’ll send that link over.

Have a great night!

Now, a couple of things might happen -

1. You hear nothing back. And, if this is the case, a week later, you might send a second email, or EVEN better, pick up the phone. Chances are, you’ve already broken the ice so now a conversation is easy. Whatever you do. don’t assume that he/she is not interested. People ARE busy and their time priorities don’t always match ours!

2. You hear back and get a “no thank you.” This is fine, a yes or no equals a success. It’s a decision. Put this person on your “Re-contact in 6 months” list and send back an email saying thank you. Don’t mention anything else about it!

3. You hear back and the response is a YES. Now, you want to just send back the email with the link, and something VERY simple such as – Thank you so much for taking some time to offer your opinion. As you watch the video, here is the criteria of what I am looking for -

Someone who is discontent, to some extent, and is interested in an online business.

Someone who is ambitious and self motivated.

Someone who has an entrepreneurial spirit.

I’ll back with you in two days, and thanks again for your time.

Whatever you do, don’t blow it by saying anything about what is in the video. That is the video’s job. You can adapt this to fit whatever your business model is.

Try this simple technique and just see what might happens!

Let’s have some conversation!

Do you have a business you love; one that will take you where you want to go? AWESOME! Work it hard and know what you are selling.

If you are still looking for that right business and right mentor, someone who has “been there, done that” and built the million dollar income, I would love to explore that possibility with you click here

Email Copywriting -Taking your copy up a notch

The Google Hangout I was on with Dianne was off the hook! 

If you wanted some tips on some good email copywriting ideas stay tuned ,

I am going to show you how you can do just that

So I got off a webinar with none other with Diane Hochman and what a great person / marketer she is...

she is called the " Queen of Attraction Marketing " I mean this woman has got some serious skills..

I have been following Diane for quite some time no, guess you can say I am one of her followers..
Kinda sounds like a cult hungh, LOL ?

I can say she is defiantly one of the top marketers out there when it comes to getting people to click.. try and buy... 

So she was going on about email copywriting and how you can make your emails get open, 
clicked on and people buying from you with no resistance! 

I had such results that the very next email I sent out got a 47 percent open rate ! 

She has the same feelings on this that I do. If you were to strip away all the tools the one thing I would die fighting for would be our Autoresponder.

Because its "our list" where the money is at.

I wanted explain in this video some of the points of the webinar...

She did mention of the importance of writing good copy and becoming a good copywriter is a skill that will make you money for a lifetime...

When you know what physiological triggers that are encoded in our DNA since caveman days... and why people are compelled to buy...

Its a science that literally if you can just nail down two or three things you will get more emails opened you will get more clicks in those emails and people will buy from you!

So literally I was sitting at a bar and across the way and saw a woman stirring a red fruity colored drink that was this dirty blond hair blue eyed beauty that I had seen before but never introduced  myself formally. Today was going to be different.

I took the last swallow of my drink and proceeded clockwise down around the square bar to the other side... I had seen her through the bottles on the other side come in and sit down ,  she looked irritated.

It was a convention and the room was packed with attendees that had just gotten out of the seminar.  I was attempting to make my way through the crowd. Finally I made it over to her tapping her on the shoulder breaking from her zombie trance.

"Dianne" I said softly... she spun around and instantly threw on a smile " Hey you"... how have you been?" she responded.

O.k it was a little over the top but I wanted the reader to get the story setup

Once you got the reader engaged in a story of sort then you can ad on what you are selling...

It's about the delivery the setup.

A single thing you can do is write like you talk.. Don't be proper... Proper is reserved for
the schools and such...

Write with your attitude... quote me on this " The more unprofessional you are the more money you are going to make"

Since you hung around to read this so far I wanted to drop off the link to the Email Copywriting course that literally changed my life's...

There are things that I can do right now to change your email to get it opened tomorrow... literally

When you can learn in a 90 minute webinar strategies that literally make you change the way you write then you have received value

People like crude and being real... not these fakers that say everything that you want to hear...

If you want to get more value and get the latest on Email Copywriting and other subjects then just shoot me over a blank email to LindstromScott@aweber.com

I look forward to you learning how to use copy and to craft it to make more money...

You wont be disappointed...

While creating this content your want to use Social Media and have everything link back to your hub your blog... this will be the central hub and a leaping off platform of where you will have people from all over connect with you. 

Pick Your Social Media Platform and focus! 

Pick 2 or 3 Platforms and focus... 

My recommendation is Facebook as its the number 2 website in the world and then either twitter or Pintrest... but social media is constantly changing and by the time you are reading this some new social media platform will be up and running... 

So.... 

pick 2 or 3 platforms and focus ...

Email Marketing...Getting The Basics Down...

What to do 

I recently had one of my team mates ask why should I send out emails to people and what do I send... 

Well I want to get basic here and then we can take bigger baby steps later... 

Why have a EMAIL?  Pretty dumb Question Hungh? Not really... if you are not a marketer you have no idea that having a email is like a fish trying to breath out of water... 

lets dive in shall we? 

Well there are the obvious reasons 

• To Inform / Educate your readers... 
• To Get clicks ... which leads to a sale or sales 
• Talk about company / service
• It Establish you as a expert 
• Builds relationship  with your readers 

So lets examine the actual elements of the Email itself 

The From Label - Who are you make sure its actually you that is sending the email to 

act like your someone who you are not when sending is against the canned spam act 

( sound yummy ) Keep this the same when sending out emails to your list. 

The Subject Line 

Let people know what to expect. Try to stick to 40 to 50 characters. DON'T USE ALL CAPS! 

It sounds like your screaming online. However you can capitalize the first word or a word that states something important.  Avoid using over Punctuation!!!!!!!!!!  It's annoying 

Pre-Header Text 

This is the 1st line of text in Email and gets pulled into the subject line... Don't Repeat your subject line... 

keep in mind 51 percent of emails are being opened on tablet or phones. 

Use Links 

• Give your readers lots of opportunity to get to your website or offer
• Allow your readers to read long articles easily... space out the sentences into blocks of text.
• Make them social by including a link on Twitter or Faacebook 
• Use call-to-action buttons instead of Buttons it will do wonderfully when you use mobile phones or tablets. 

Resource: Here is a cool little link to make free buttons to put in your links 

(Buttions.verticalresponse.com) <<< free button creator

Link people to where they need to go... exactly... 

• Include Logos and Images 
• Engage your audience 
• Think about what your audience sees 
• Break up blocks of text 
• Brand your logo - Email will look more professional
• Link your Images!!! (hyperlink to a site)  
• Use Alt text - see if images are blocked... they will see this instead...
• (something that turns on the images) 
• Balance text / images think 80/20  more text then images... this is not the rule but a guideline 

Content - This is the Meat and potatoes some content you could write about 

>Whats your story?

• Put your audience first 
• Your Readers must desire your content 
• They must desire your content 
• They must invite you into their circle of trust 
• The best marketers and sales people are story tellers...

PROVIDE VALUE - - - Share content even if its someone elses site and you can link over to it and showcase that info...

Is Gmail Trying To Block You?

Are you using Gmail?  If so, I want you to take a quick minute of action RIGHT NOW. Gmail may be blocking you.

 This is really important!  

There is ACTION REQUIRED ON YOUR PART

You're most likely on my email list because your success is important and you really like:

• Getting cool training videos
• Content Rich Blog posts
• FRREE Webinars that help you reach your goals
• ...and so much more.

If you are using Gmail and want to keep receiving these training's, you need you to take action RIGHT NOW (don't stick this in your "I'll get to it later  pile!)

Why This Matters:

With Google's most recent inbox changes, your e-mails may now start showing up in the "Promotions" folder (on the far right!), and they might totally miss your Primary inbox.
And you don't want to miss out on cool new training videos (and random silliness) because my updates end up in a different folder.

Here's how to fix this fast:

ACTION Steps: (20 second fix)

If you want to keep these new Gmail sorting tabs because you think they'll be valuable, here are a few steps to ensure you still receive my emails:

Step 1: Go to the Promotions Tab (far right tab)

Step 2:  When you find an email from me (It can be this email & YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE!) - drag and drop the email into your "Primary" inbox (far left).

FINAL STEP: Then, you'll get an alert saying, "This conversation has been moved to "Primary. Do this for future messages from {Scotts's email address}?"  And click "YES!

THANK YOU! And, I'm so glad I can still provide you with valuable information, training to help you get more leads, and sponsor more reps into your network marketing business!

BTW I want to thank Mr. Ray Higdon for this information and want to give him full credit for this information 

Thanks Ray You Rock !!! www.RayHigdon.com 

TLS -- everyone
