Did you know that your email list is almost as good as an ATM for generating extra cash on the spur of the moment? This is one of the many reasons you hear so many marketers say that the “money is in the list.” The main reason is that it’s true. If you build a solid list full of your ideal customers, you will make money, and you’ll make more money if you make more offers.
Top 5 Tips For Using Your Email List
Often email is under utilized by small business owners who instead opt-in for social media ads which have less return value. Just in case you need to be convinced to build and use your email list to generate extra cash, let’s talk about the data. According to Pew Research, email marketing offers a return on investment that is outstanding at 38 to 44 dollars per every dollar spent on email marketing. With that in mind here are 5 tips to make the most of your email list.
Tip #1 Optimize Your Autoresponder Messages
Take the time to double-check the autoresponder messages you have set up already to ensure they are sufficiently monetized. Ensure that each message is utilizing personalization and has a call to action. Beef up your subject lines if you note that messages aren’t being opened.
Tip #2 Find Top-Notch Affiliate Offers to Tell Them About
You don’t have to create everything to be successful with an email list. In fact, plenty of profitable affiliate marketers never make their own products or offer their own services. But they do try and check out the products and services they promote to others so that they know them inside and out. Only recommend the best, and you’ll build trust with your list members.
Tip #3 Remember to Promote Your Own Products Too
Don’t forget to promote your own products periodically too. If you offer any products, make sure you’re promoting them at least as much as you promote other people’s products and services. If you segment your email list properly, those who receive the recommendations will be very appreciative. They won’t know about the products if you don’t tell them.
Tip #4 Sell Sponsored Ads
If you have a good-sized list full of active participants, and you can prove it with your autoresponder metrics, you can also sell sponsored ads with your email campaigns. It works just like a sponsored blog post in that someone will pay you a set fee just for sending out the email campaign. The trick here is to only allow a limited number of sponsored email messages so that it doesn’t dilute your brand.
Tip#5 Optimize Thank You Pages and Download Pages
As you send your email subscribers to various thank you pages, download pages, and so forth, remember to utilize the pages fully by adding more offers below the fold that might grab their interest. As long as it relates to what they just bought, you’ll boost sales exponentially.
