Email marketing can be profitable for any business, no matter what kind of product or service you offer. It is significantly cheaper than other advertising methods and, if done right, helps build loyalty and trust with customers. As a result, you generate more sales and more profits!
The foundation for successful email marketing is a targeted, permission-based email list. Marketers call contact lists their "goldmine" because it can generate much of their sales revenue. If you've built up a list of opt-in subscribers that are qualified and interested in what you have to offer, then you've completed the first step and are on your way. Now it's time to "mine" for gold!
Below you'll find three list-building and retention ideas that will help you get the best results from all your email marketing activities:
1. Provide useful, relevant content. Your visitors will not give you their email addresses just because they can subscribe to your newsletter free of charge. You have to provide unique and valuable information that will be of interest or use to them.
2. Add a subscription form to every page on your website. Make sure it stands out so it is easy to find. If it doesn't look cluttered, you may want to include more than one on some pages. For instance, if your opt-in form always appears in the top-left corner of your site, you may want to add one at the end of your most popular articles.
3. Add subscription forms to your social media pages. Make sure that you don't waste this valuable source of revenue opportunities. Integrate your sign-up forms with Facebook and more!
If you begin with these tips you will find that your list will begin to grow at a steady pace! Don't worry about where you are at this point with your list, just continue to look for new and creative ways to attract subscribers and implement them.
I have found that a lot of marketers are worried about using the wrong strategy so they don't do anything. Don't worry about making mistakes, that is part of growing and succeeding in this business. If you don't attempt anything then you won't fail, which is true, you also won't see success either! If you try something and you find that you are not getting the results that you want, then change what you're doing.
Also keep in mind that there are a lot of marketers out there that are achieving the results that you want, so seek them out and ask them what they do. Network, brainstorm with your peers, find out what others are doing that's working, etc. There are so many marketing and training tools, so many resources to pull from, so many other marketers out there that have the same challenges and goals that there is no reason why you should feel alone or that you are the only one facing this challenge.
Bottomline, get started right now with what you have and know and build from there by seeking information from the resources that are out there. Trust me, if you do that you will be writing and posting articles of your own in no time wondering why you thought this was so hard and in a position to help someone else who is now where you were.
Be creative, have fun, experiment, brainstorm, network and just go for it! Before you know it you will have a monster list and more leads than you can handle!!
