Email Profits

By John Anghelache

Smart online marketers know that your email list contains big money.

Ever hear that before? Online direct marketers know the key to big money is to build a big, responsive list. Then to "monetize" the list for maximum profits.

The question is... "How?"

You're about to discover a secret to making easy money from any email list. First, let's get clear about why people join your list. This is important for you to really understand.

Email subscribers want good information. They want it frequently without getting overwhelmed with emails. And they expect to get pitched.

Contacting email subscribers is easy. Just get yourself an autoresponder. Like Aweber for example. Sending good info is easy too. Because you'll be setting up an email list about a topic you know a lot about. And you have to send them ads about products. That how you make money online.

I think the best way to keep in contact is to set up a 52-week email follow up series. This series should consist of nothing but content.

Besides the content ezine, send out a couple of offers per week also.

Use email broadcasts for these sales offers at first. In time, you can include the winning offers in your follow up autoresponder series.

You can start out by promoting products you affilite with. It's a good idea to send out two or even three offers for the same affiliate product in a one week period.

Then do the same thing with the second affiliate product. Repeat this process until you go through all of them.

At the end of ten to fifteen weeks I look at which of the affiliate products sold best. I take the two or three best sellers and create my own version of the product. I'm talking about information products in this case.

It won't take long before you develop a few products of your own. Ones that are proven to sell. Then you start promoting those products to your list in place of the affiliate products.

In addition, you can take the one product that is bringing in the most money... and... create a high priced info product.

By the way, it's just as hard (and takes just as much work) to sell a low priced product as it does a high priced product. So you may want to leapfrog right to creating a high priced coaching program.

Do this over and over again and you'll probably be making six-figures from your list. - 16890
