The Truth About Most (internet marketing profits) Email Campaigns

By David Ogden

  In the old days of Internet marketing everybody always said the money was in the list. What that meant was you were supposed to build an email list and do a marketing campaign to it. That still does work, but there are other things that go into it as well.

In this article let’s take a look at the truth about what happens in most email campaigns.

Generally what happens is a person joins an autoresponder and enters a series of messages in to it. This can be something very simple or can be as complex as you want to be. On the average a person will set up 5 to 10 messages in their autoresponder and space them to go out every couple of days.

They then develop a landing page and put a sign up form on it. The landing page leads to the autoresponder which then kicks in and starts delivering the messages to your prospect.

So far so good!

At this point problems began to develop. For one thing how do you get people to come to your landing page? This is a major problem that many Internet marketers never learn.

Another thing that happens is they do not put the sign up form on a webpage or blog. Therefore they have an autoresponder that is not feeding subscribers added to it consistently. This is another mistake!

One more problem with most email campaigns is when the messages run out the subscribers stop hearing from the sender. This is very common because many people do not know what they should be sending out to their list. Therefore they respond by sending out nothing.

If you build the largest list in the world and quit mailing to it you will never make any money. So you need to learn how to manage your campaign beyond the initial set of messages. This is an important point to remember and build on.

This is understandable because some people do not like to write. Rather than hire a ghost writer they would prefer to just not mail their list of all. A better approach would be to continue to add to the initial set of five to 10 messages.

Even if you add a new message a week in a year you’re going to have over 50 messages to send out. That is a lot of content if you space it out and only email one to two times a week.

The truth is most email campaigns do not produce a lot of income because they quit too soon. Hopefully that will not be the case with you.

Once you have made a decision about what you want to do, don’t allow the plethora of information available to distract you. The more you know the easier it will be to work your business, to a point. If you just continue to read and never apply what you are learning you won’t get anywhere. Once you have learned what you need to know, and know what you need to do, stop reading, and just do it.

2. Ask questions and follow directions.

Once you find a legitimate work from home opportunity you do not need to reinvent the wheel. There are people either in your business or doing the same type of business as you who will already know what works and what doesn’t. Listen to the people who are already successful doing what you want to do. It does you no good to listen to someone who is NOT making money doing what you want to do. You want to listen to the people who are successful. Follow their actions and you too will move toward success. If you have questions ask. There are helpful people around who will help people who are just beginning.

3. Learn how to promote and drive traffic.

This is the part that most new people miss. They think just because you build it they will come and that is far from the truth. You have to promote your site, or business. There are many ways to do that, and if you have connected with others who are doing what you are doing you will be able to find some of the best ways from them.

I might also add don’t get distracted and start anything else until you reach your goals. If you fail to stop reading you will get sucked in by great sales copy, and think this is “the next best thing” and it will be easy to try that. It is easy to keep getting sucked in to the next best thing over and over. The more things you get involved in the less energy you have to give to any one of them.

Do yourself a favor and forget about trying to tackle more than one thing at a time. Once you find a legitimate work from home strategy, stick to it. It will do you no good to try to add something else, at least not until your first strategy is implemented and working.
