Combine AdSense and Automatic Responders

If you are using AdSense right now, I can show you how to multiply your income almost overnight.

I combine the power or autoresponders with the income making potential of Google AdSense.

Here are the basics of how I make this system work: 

First I capture the email addresses of everyone that comes to my website.  This allows me to send out an email to these people anytime I want. I can generate a ton of traffic by sending out a single email telling people to go visit my website.

To make money with AdSense you need traffic. If you want to make a ton of money with AdSense, you need a ton of traffic.

So once a week I will write an article or hire someone to write an article for me. Then I will post that article to my website with AdSense ads embedded.

Then all I have to do is send an email to my list telling them about the newly written article I just posted to my website.

Boom!! My website has an instant traffic explosion and I make a ton of money from AdSense revenue.

 It is a very simple system, but it works.

All you need is an Automatic Responder account, an AdSense account and a freshly written article once a week or more.

Using Your Automatic Responder For An Email Follow Up Series

Ever wondered how some Internet marketers seem to have enough time in their day to find new and exciting things, and expand their online empires, while still keeping everything working perfectly with their other projects? There is one word for this process - “automation”. Automation is the process of using technology to do the monotonous, time-consuming chores for you, without you having to go through the process time and time again.

Take customer inquiries, for example. They take an eternity to send out, but by automating the process with an auto responder, you can set up a structured set of emails directed at your customer query once, and then let it continuously do the work for you.

Using automation for follow up with an autoresponder is where the idea of ‘making money while you sleep’ came from. But remember that just a follow up series will not make you a millionaire overnight. Internet marketing is still all about hard work, but a follow up series will help you to work smarter.

You should have a set of about 6-7 emails in your follow up series, and we will go into detail on the type of content that you should be using in this series.

Benefits
Your first email should outline the benefits of your product or service. Make sure that you keep your first message interesting, short, and to the point, to explain the benefits that the product or service has to offer.

The Need Factor
Message two in your series should be crafted to tell the recipient why the product or service is useful to them, and why they have a need for it, without being pushy, or making the email sound like a sales pitch. This is a good place to provide facts supporting the need for your product or service.

How To Use The Product Or Service
The third message that you will need to set up should explain how to use the product or service, and what other products, if any are needed to use it. This may be a computer with windows XP, and internet access, for example.

Customer Case Studies
Message four should be used for a customer case study. Or if your product needs to be shipped, you could explain the shipping process, or include directions to your brick and mortar business residence if you have one.

Questions And Comments
The fifth message in your automatic responder series should be aimed at answering any questions, and asking the recipient if they have any feedback, or would like more information on a particular part of the product or service. You should offer plenty of ways to contact you, such as email, telephone, cell, and if you have a brick and mortar business, the address of the store. You may also want to include a link for the recipient to follow for FAQ as well.

Customer Testimonials
Use your sixth message to provide a set of customer testimonials, or comments from satisfied customers about the product or service that you provide. Remember that fabricated testimonials are illegal. If you don’t have any testimonials yet, simply leave this part out.

Final Message
Your last message should go over the whole gist of the email series, finishing off with your contact information. Keep this email short, but informative.

Using an autoresponder for your follow-ups no longer needs to take up most of your waking hours. Once you have set it up with the above recipe, all you will need to do is set it, forget it, and get on with other important aspects of your business.

Deliverability & Email Marketing admin on 16 Mar 2007

The importance of email deliverability

The Importance Of Email Deliverability

Scenario: You have painstakingly written, and designed the best email ever. It is guaranteed to get a response from even the most fickle of your email list subscribers, and you are really pleased with yourself, as you send off your emails.

But if the recipient of your emails never receives their email, they can’t read it, therefore, you have wasted your time, effort, and money. If no one gets your email, it doesn’t matter how well you have written, and designed it, you are never going to get that sale, and statistically, the odds are far from being in your favor!

So lets talk about email deliverability. In the above scenario, we have ascertained that deliverability is vital to your online business efforts. If your customers don’t receive your message, they won’t buy the products or services that you are recommending, and you won’t make an income.

The question is how do you get a great deliverability rate, weave through email authentication issues, and, of course, gain a good reputation as a quality information provider as far as sending emails go? Authentication and reputation go hand in hand to make sure that your emails make it through to their recipients.

Email Authentication
Many of us underestimate the importance of learning about authentication techniques, including certification, accreditation, and reputation. We know these issues do, and will have an impact on our business success, but have little knowledge of how to use these services to our best advantage.

Basically, the origin of an email can be questionable. Just because the email says it is from a particular place, doesn’t necessarily mean that is really from that place. If at any time in your life (guaranteed), you have come across Spam, you are well aware of email claiming to be from one company, organization, or person, and its contents is completely the opposite of what is in the subject line, and address line says.

Spam, phishing, and fraud are rife within the email delivery systems. It has brought about a need for tougher security measures to make sure that those receiving emails are protected, and not harassed by unwelcome, and unsolicited emails that have very little value to them, or worse still, harbor dangerous viruses, or other risks.

Email authentication is a way of identifying the sender, and confirming that the email has actually come from that source. So basically, what authentication does is make sure that the email being sent is actually coming from the person who is claiming to be the sender and not a spammer.

The internet service provider, or email provider of the person you are sending an email to verifies the authenticity of the sender, and among other criterion, comes to a decision on whether the email should be blocked, put in the junk mail folder or delivered to the recipient. As you can imagine, this has a huge impact on your email marketing efforts. You need your emails to be placed in the Inbox of the recipient’s folder.

Deliverability, And Your Reputation

As we just mentioned before, Spam is on the rise, which means Anti-Spam measures are becoming tighter than ever to protect the rights of email inbox owners, and to allow them to choose who they wish to receive emails from. There are two ways that you can increase the chances of your email arriving at its destination, rather than being filed away in a junk mail holder, or scrapped all together.

The first way is through authenticating yourself, which is proving that you are who you claim to be, and you have the email address owner’s permission to send them communications.

The second way is reputation. Reputation is gained over time by proving yourself as a good guy, not someone who spams. By following proper guidelines, Internet service providers will begin to recognize you as a good guy.

Which is the best, authentication, or reputation? They both are the best option, and you should be using both of these practices. By doing so, you can make sure that the emails you are sending out will be received by the recipients in their inboxes, without being flagged each and every time you send them out.

With this type of knowledge under your belt, imagine the scenario above - you have the perfect email campaign, guaranteed to get a response from any subscriber who reads it, and guess what? You really can sit back this time and be pleased with your efforts, because you know that your recipients will receive your emails.

Email Marketing & Spam & List Building admin on 12 Feb 2007

Why A List Is Important To Your Business?

All of the guru’s are talking about them, and one famous guru’s words will go down in history, when he said ‘The Money Is In The List”. But what’s all the fuss about? What can a list really do for you, and your business?

If you don’t have an opt-in form for your visitors on your website, you are potentially losing money, and wasting precious time. If you were to consider for a moment that every visitor who comes to your site, and then leaves, statistically never returns, your promotion of the site has ended without you even getting a look in.

Ask yourself what the chances of that visitor ever coming back are once they have left your site? What are your chances of ever making a sale from the visitor once they have gone? Very little, they leave your site, and get involved in something else, and forget all about your site, never return, and you never make a sale from them. Now calculate that by how many visitors have left your site, and you will be getting some sort of a picture of how much you are really losing.

If you want to keep your visitors, and increase your sales, you must find a way of keeping them, or getting your time and moneys’ worth from advertising to them. This is why you need a capture page, or an opt-in form, that lets your visitors leave their contact details, so you can get back to them with information they may be interested in through email.

How Do I Get A Visitors Details?
Traditionally, internet marketers, and webmasters alike who are trying to build a list will offer their visitors something of value in return for their name, and email address. This may be in the form of a free e-book, or report, while others create a list by offering a subscription to a newsletter, or E-zine each month to those who are interested in keeping up with current trends, and receiving free information on topics of interest.

It doesn’t matter what methods are used to get the contact information from your visitors, or what you trade with them, as long as it is fair, and ethical. Once you have their details, you can keep offering them a multitude of related offers from your website, making you more likely to get repeated sales without paying for repeated advertising on those visitors through methods such as PPC.

Isn’t Emailing To Lots Of People Called SPAM?
Over time, you will obtain a large list of people that you are regularly emailing information to. But this is not, and is never considered to be SPAM, simply because you have a subscriber base that has given you their details, allowing you to send emails of interest to them. If you were to start sending emails to people that haven’t given you their email, or asked to hear about your offers, then you are spamming, and that is considered to be illegal.

Always make sure that visitors are subscribing to your emails, and aren’t being tricked into them. So be honest, and don’t use unethical or underhanded methods. Additionally, it is important to place an unsubscribe link at the bottom of all of your emails. That way, you can never be accused of spamming, or sending unwanted emails, as people are choosing to accept solicitation from you, and have the option to stop receiving them from you also.

What Are The Benefits Of List Building?
One of the most attractive things about having access to a list of people who were interested enough to sign up to your subscriber list to get further information about your products, services or business opportunity is that you increase your conversion rates, and educate your potential customers on a personal basis.

Having a list will also give you the opportunity to market your business, and what you have to offer long term, making the chances of making more than one sale from an opt-in member very likely.

Advertising costs are lower when you have a list, and your return on investment is much higher since you are marketing to prospects that are highly targeted, and interested in receiving information from you. Other products and services are easily introduced without having to start your advertising campaign all over again.

List building is a ‘must have’ if you want to be successful in the online business arena. If you provide personalized, quality, helpful information about reliable, and trusted products and services to your list they will come to appreciate, and trust you, and be more likely to repeatedly buy your products, services, and ask for your advice when they have a problem. Remember that the money is in the list, and so is the recipe to success.

Autoresponder Accounts Do WAY more than you think!

I’ve heard about autoresponders for years before I actually decided to get an account. When I finally decided to get an account, my entire online business changed virtually over night. An autoresponder account has allowed me increase my income drastically.

We are talking about going from $2000 per month to over $6000 per month. I’m making even more now.

Why did it take me so long to finally get automatic responder account? Why did I leave this immensly important tool out of my online arsenal for so long?

The answer is that I didn’t know exactly what an autoresponder was or how it could help me. I had seen ads for ebooks talking about autopilot riches. I figured that autoresponders were only for those get rich quick type people. I thought it would be another thing to add to my list of junk products purchased.

BOY WAS I AN IDIOT!!!

If I had only learned about autoresponders sooner, I’d have $100,000’s more in my bank account.

Most people think that autoresponder accounts are only used to send out automatic reply and followup messages to customers. Yes it does that, but that’s not even the most important thing.

The most important thing that automatic responders do is manage email addresses.

Just think about that for a minute…

If you have 400 or 5000 or even 100,000 email addresses, how the heck are you going to store, manage, and send messages to all of them?

You don’t even have to use the “autoresponder function” of an autoresponder account.

Heck I barely use it most of the time.

Usually I just send out “broadcast” messages.

What are broadcast messages? They are one time messages sent out to all of your subscribers (or the subscriber you specify.)

If I come across an affiliate product that I think my subscribers would really like, I send out a broadcast message about this product to my subscriber list. One broadcast can make me between $3,000-$22,000!!

The biggest reason to get and autoresponder account is the ability to save email addresses and send messages to them anytime you want.

To increase profits, build a relationship with your customers

If you needed advice when shopping for a product, who would you listen to? Would you listen to a salesman you have never met before? Or, would you listen to a trusted friend that has used the product and says it’s really great?

Of course you would listen to your friend over a salesman. Why? Because you have a relationship with your freind. You trust your friend to give you genuine advice. You know your friend is not reccomending a product just to make a quick buck.

This is something you should take note of if you have a list of subscribers or customers. Try to build a relationship with them. Make them think of you as a friend and not a salesman.

How do you make customers think of you as a friend?

The best way to make them think of you as a freind is to actually be a friend. Don’t try to sell stuff to them everytime you contact them.

- Give them information that helps them free of charge.
- Point them to free resources that will help them.
- Provide tips of the week.
- Be sure to answer all support questions they may have.
- Keep them upto date on industry developments.

If you genuinly try to help your subscribers, they will recognize it. The next time you offer them a product to buy, they will look at you as a friend and not a salesman and you will make many more sales than you would have otherwise.

Generate Backend Sales with Followup Autoresponders

Are you looking for a way to increase your online profits dramatically? This is probably the best way to increase sales and it’s all done automatically.

Here is how it works:

After a customer purchases your product, ask them to enter their name and email address. By entering their information, they are put into an automatic responder series. This is where the big money is made and it’s all automated!

Your  autoresponder series will have several prewritten email messages that are sent to the customer every few days or so. These messages tell the customer about great upsell products to the product they just bought.

You can enter as many followup email messages that you want, selling as many products that you want. It’s like having your own little salesman following up with your customers to squeeze more money out of them.

Without a backend followup series installed, you are missing out on a ton of cash.

Here is an Autoresponder service that I’ve been using for over 3 years.

That’s right, they sign up and then my autoresponder goes to work. It follows up with my customers for me.  Do you know how powerful this is?
