Chapter 7: Selling to your list over time

You can now start recommending products directly in your e-mails. You'll do this similar to the way you'd write your other e-mails but you can be more direct about the product you're recommending. While the goal of the e-mail is still to get them to click the link and go to the sales page you can use your email to pre-sell them on the product.

If you don't like writing e-mails yourself or aren't very experienced at it yet then you can use pre-written e-mails to promote different products. A lot of affiliate programs will have an affiliate resource page with a few e-mails and other tools that you can use.
I also recommend checking out Clickbank Profit Pack as they have a large selection of pre-written e-mails that are designed to sell. Click here for more information

You can take these e-mails and modify them for your own needs.

A great resource and one that I've learned a lot about writing e-mails from is Michael Rasmussens E-Mail Promo's Exposed. You can check it out here and I HIGHLY recommend you get it, watch it, learn it and use it. The guy really knows his stuff and makes it very easy to learn.

Some things to remember:

Be sure to break up your sales e-mails with the occasional free gift or free to join site. This way they don't just get one sales e-mail after another from you. By mixing it up with useful, quality content they'll never know for sure what you've got to offer and will be more apt to open and read your e-mails.

Use your blog in conjunction with your e-mails. You can review a product on your blog and then send an e-mail to your list directing them to that blog post. A side benefit of doing this is that unlike e-mails the blog post stays "live" on the internet for ever. Once its indexed in the search engines you could potentially be making sales from that post for years.

Promote Membership sites or sites with recurring payments. By doing this you make one sale and continue to get paid for it as long as they are in the program. There are hundreds of membership type sites that you can promote for just about any niche. This is something that can really start to add up over time.

Creating your own products.
While its not necessary to create your own products to be successful online and there are a lot of people that only sell other peoples products as affiliates. Having your own products really does take you to the next level and gives you so many more options on what you can do to build your list to increase your income. The best thing about having your own products to sell is that you can set up an affiliate program. With an affiliate program you'll have a virtual army of people driving traffic and buyers into your marketing funnel. This really is the most powerful thing you can do to build your list and your profits. Once you've gotten the basics down, are building a list and selling affiliate products the next obvious step for your business is going to be to create your own products.
List building and online marketing in general don't have to be hard. The important thing is that you take action and get started. You don't need to know everything there is about internet marketing before you can put up your first squeeze page or send your first e-mail. By just digging in and getting started you'll learn the things you need to know. Remember, an ounce of experience is worth a ton of book knowledge. You've got the steps to get started and there's no excuse not to.

Here are the steps again:

1. Get a domain
2. Get hosting
3. Get an autoresponder
4. Set up your squeeze page
5. Set up your OTO's
6. Write some e-mails / setup autoresponders
7. Drive traffic.
8. Build a relationship with your list
9. Continue to sell to them forever.
10. Buy a Red Sports car and a Mansion in the hills.
11. Smile. You did it.
