Email
Marketing Course
On this page I am
going to teach you exactly what to do to become a Successful Email
Marketer! In other words this is an Email Marketing Course.
Email Marketing is
simply sending email advertisements to promote a product, service, or
opportunity. An email program or application is used to perform the
task and it is usually referred to as software if the application is
installed on a computer or a script if it is installed on a server.
Some email
applications also function as an autoresponder. An autoresponder is often used to immediately provide
information to prospects and then to follow-up with
them at preset time intervals. An autoresponder is also used to confirm subscriptions, process unsubscribe
requests and other list activities such as processing bounces
(emails that were not delivered) and allowing people on your list to
edit their contact information.
The most successful Internet Marketers admit that they make the MAJORITY of their income through
Email Marketing using autoresponders. If you are marketing online
and do not use Email Marketing with an autoresponder- you are losing income...
GUARANTEED!

If you have done any
research at all on internet marketing then you have heard this
statement: "The Secret is in the List". That statement is
true. When it comes to
making money online the most important thing that a successful
marketer has is their BUYERS list! Therefore, if YOU
want to be a successful online marketer, then YOU should be building
your own Buyers list. Building your Buyers list should
be a never ending process. The larger your Buyers list, the greater the
income potential! So you should always be building your Buyers list and sending offers to
them.
I am going to reveal
the fastest and least expensive method to build your own Buyers list. All that you have to do is to get the necessary tools
and follow my instructions. I am going to reveal the method and the
ENTIRE Process to you now!
After you review the
information you will be able to make an informed
decision about whether or not you want to use this method to build
your Buyers list.
The fastest way to
build your own Buyers list is to build an Opt-In List first by sending
emails to the RIGHT
people offering them something for FREE. You can offer them a free report, free ebook or free
software. Send them to your squeeze page and have them to opt-in before
you give them the freebie. Tell them on the squeeze page to be
sure to enter their correct email address since you will be emailing
the download link for their freebie. That will cut down on the
number of people entering a bad email address. You could use a
double opt-in process but if you do- your Opt-In List will not grow as
fast. People leave their computer before they read the confirmation
email and they forget about it and then later the confirmation email
gets deleted.
It is important that
the freebie have value and be related to the product, service, or
opportunity that you are promoting on your squeeze
page. For example, if the product or service that you are
selling is related to building an online business then you could
give people something that will help them to get more traffic to
their website. Click the link below for FREE
Traffic Software that will increase traffic to any
website! Use it to get more traffic to your squeeze page or website
and also use it as an incentive to build your Opt-In List.

The RIGHT
people to contact by email depends on your market or niche. Most of the people
who visit my website are involved in the Making Money Online niche
or market so that is the market I will focus on. People who are
already involved in an online income opportunity or the Making Money
Online market are the RIGHT
people or the Best Prospects to email in order to build your opt-in
list if you are in the Make Money Online market.
How
do you find the email addresses of online marketers?
DO NOT BUY them
or you will be dead broke in no time! Most of the email lists that
are being sold as income opportunity leads are worthless! List
brokers who sell crappy lists are almost as low as the banksters and
politicians who attempt to run your life!
The best way to find
the prospects you need to build your Buyers list is to use Data
Harvesting software! You can harvest thousands of online marketers
email addresses, names, and phone numbers with the right data
harvesting software.
Is this legal you ask?
Honestly, I am not an attorney but I don't think that harvesting the
data is illegal but how you contact them could be illegal. However,
so is speeding, stealing and murder! You have a government that has
stolen from you and given your money to the banksters. You have a
government that murdered its own citizens on 9/11. So you will just
have to decide whether or not you are going to obey all of their
stupid laws and let them control you. Times are tough and are only
going to get tougher. You need an advantage to make it through these
tough times and having RESPONSIVE email lists is one MAJOR
advantage! The main thing that you need to know is how to build a
Buyers list without getting into trouble and I am going to
teach you how to do it!
Online marketers are
used to sending and receiving email ads so they are unlikely to
report you for spam unless you continue to email them after they
have requested to be removed from your list. Therefore, it is
important that you remove people from your list when they have
requested it. That can be accomplished automatically if you use a
removal link in your ad and you use the right email application. I
will go into detail about the right email application later.
Now, I want to
introduce you to the data harvesting software that I use to collect
the names, email addresses and phone numbers of internet marketers.
The name of the software is PHONE GOLD MINER PRO. Instead of
describing what it does and how it works, I want you to watch some
videos. That is the best way to learn about it!

When you purchase
PHONE GOLD MINER PRO, you also become an affiliate for the software
and earn $100 per sale. You don't have to wait to get paid either!
You can get paid immediately and receive payments via PAYPAL or
other online payment systems. You can also Make Money from the efforts of
your downline since the affiliate program is based on the 1-Up Pay
Plan!

Another data
harvesting tool that I use and you need in your marketing toolbox is
SCRAPER PRO GOLD. It works differently than PHONE GOLD MINER PRO so
it will harvest data that PHONE GOLD MINER PRO will not harvest and
vice versa. Instead of harvesting data from membership sites,
SCRAPER PRO GOLD uses keywords and search engines to harvest data.
Watch the training video on SCRAPER PRO GOLD!

for more information on SCRAPER PRO GOLD
When you purchase
SCRAPER PRO GOLD, you also become an affiliate for the software and
earn $100 per sale on the SCRAPER PRO BASIC software or $200 per
sale on the SCRAPER PRO GOLD software. You can get paid immediately
and receive payments via PAYPAL or other online payment systems. The
affiliate program is based on the 1-Up Pay Plan so you can also Make
Money from the efforts of your downline!
ALL internet marketers
need more leads for their business so finding prospects to buy PHONE
GOLD MINER PRO and SCRAPER PRO GOLD is very EASY! When you send
email ads to internet marketers, many of them will email you about
their business. That is known as REVERSE Marketing. What you need to
do is use reverse marketing when you receive email ads from internet
marketers. Create a reverse marketing ad for PHONE GOLD MINER PRO
and SCRAPER PRO GOLD and use it by replying to the ads that you
receive from internet marketers. You
may make more money doing that than you do with your main program!
Now that you know how
to find the best prospects for your Buyers list you need to
know what kind of Email Application to use to contact your
prospects.
Should
you use Email Software installed on your computer or an Email
Script installed on a Server?
The short answer is
that you should use both types of email applications. You should use
an email script installed on a server to send mass emails or
campaigns and to process unsubscribe requests. You should use email
software installed on your computer to reply to questions and for
reverse email marketing.
You could use email
software installed on your computer to send mass emails and process
unsubscribe requests but there are a few good
reasons why you should not do that. The main reason is that your IP
address will be displayed in each email that you send and if people
contact your ISP and accuse you of spamming then your ISP may
terminate your service! Another reason not to use email software to
send mass email campaigns is that it uses your computer's resources
and may slow down your computer making it difficult for you to use
your computer to perform other tasks. Your computer may crash and
then you will have to reboot it causing you to lose unsaved data and
waste your valuable time. A server running a UNIX based operating
system is much more stable than a computer running WINDOWS.
Email Script
installed on a Server
There are certain
features that you should look for when choosing an Email Script to
install on a server. There are some simple scripts that you should
avoid. For example, you do NOT want to use an email script like ZIP
SENDER or EASY 123 EMAIL SENDER that
requires you to keep a window open on your web browser. If your
computer or your web browser crashes during an email campaign you
may have to start your campaign over again. Sending duplicate emails
will not make you more popular and it will make you look
unprofessional!

Here are the features that
you should look for when choosing an email script:
-

Some of the features
listed above do not need an explanation but I want to go into more
detail about the ones that do and explain why you need
them. Controlling
the Sending Speed is necessary for 2 very good reasons: 1)
If your script is hosted on a shared server then the number of
emails that you can send will be limited. The limit may be by the
hour or by the day. When you are looking for a webhost to host your
email script, the first thing you should do is contact them and
find out about their email sending limit. 2)
Another important reason for being able to control the speed of your
email application is that many of the major email providers will
only accept a certain number of emails from the same IP address
within a specified time. If you set your email application to send 1
email every 15 seconds then you should be fine. That may seem slow
but sending at that rate equates to more than 5,700 emails in 24
hours. If you want to send faster than that then install
another email script on a different domain with a different IP
address. The faster you send from the same domain and IP address,
the faster your emails will be blocked! Bounce
Processing is an essential feature for your email script unless
you are going to retrieve the bounces in an email application on
your computer and process them there. Keeping your email lists clean
(removing undeliverable email addresses) is necessary for 2 very
good reasons: 1)
Some email providers will start blocking all of your
emails if you send too many emails to undeliverable email addresses
within a specified time. 2)
Removing the undeliverable addresses from your list will save you
time. It will take less time to email the list the next time if you
have removed the undeliverables. If you keep a master undeliverable
list then you can compare it to any new email lists that you get and
purge the undeliverables from the new list before you mail to it. Link
Tracking is an essential feature for an email script for 4 very
good reasons: 1)
It enables you to choose the best email ads or messages by seeing which
ad generated
the most clicks on your link. Be sure to split your list equally in
order to obtain valid results. 2)
It enables you to determine the responsiveness of lists by comparing
the number of clicks to the number of emails sent. Be sure to send
the same ad in order to obtain valid results. If you have a
responsive ad but it generates less than 5 clicks for every 1,000
emails sent then you have a sorry list. Save the data of those who
clicked a link for more information and don't waste your time emailing that
list again! 3)
It enables
you to create a responsive list by creating a new list from the people
who clicked your link for more information. Some people will not
complete an opt-in form because they want to remain private but they
may be interested in your offers and buy! 4)
It keeps the domain names of your website or squeeze pages from
getting blocked. Link tracking uses a tracking link that has the
same domain name as your email script. When someone clicks the
tracking link in your email ad, they are redirected to your website
or squeeze page which should be hosted on another domain. Having
an Unsubscribe Link where the unsubscribers are removed
automatically from the list is a great feature that will save you a
lot of time and help to keep you out of trouble. Another great feature is
the ability to receive an email
notification each time someone unsubscribes. You should configure
the email application on your computer to automatically add the email addresses of
unsubscribers to an address
book that you created specifically for the unsubscribers. Before you email a new list you should export the
unsubscribers from the address book and import them into a Master
Removal list in a database.
Then you should purge the new email list of unsubscribers before you
email the new list. The
Bulk Removal feature will save you a lot of time by enabling
you to remove email addresses automatically instead of having to
do it manually and also to keep you from sending duplicate emails if
you use it properly. Here are 3 ways to use it: 1)
Before you begin a campaign to a new prospect list, remove the
people who are in your Master Removal list. 2)
After a campaign, remove people who clicked a link for more
information from a prospect list. 3)
After a campaign, remove opt-ins from a prospect list.
Recommendation:
AMLM
(Autoresponder and Mailing List Manager):
It can function as
an Autoresponder as well as a Bulk Email Sender. It has all of the features
listed above plus many
more. The script is very stable and can handle large lists and
mails for days without any problems. AMLM can be purchased for
less than $100. If you don't want to install the AMLM script
yourself then you can pay to have it installed for only $25.

When
you purchase AMLM from my affiliate link I will send you my
Master Removal list and my Master Undeliverable list! If you use
them to remove the bad email addresses from your lists it will
save you a lot of time and trouble!

Now that you know that
you need an email script to contact your prospects, you need a
server to to host your email script. You may want to start off with
Shared Hosting but a Virtual Private Server (VPS) will be much
better.
I use Jaguar PC for my
hosting service and I use a Virtual Private Server. I have used
their service for Email Marketing for years so I can recommend them
for that even though their technical support could be better. If you
can recommend other hosting services that you have used for Email
Marketing then please send me an email.
There is no
limit on the number of emails that you can send if you use their VPS
hosting service. The email sending limit for their Shared hosting
service is 1,000 emails per hour which is the highest sending limit
that I have found for a Shared hosting service.
A limit of 1,000
emails per hour is sufficient if your email lists contain very few
bad email addresses. The problem is that the mail server will try to
resend some bounced messages for several days. The email is in a
queue waiting to be resent and as long as it is in the queue it
counts toward your sending limit. If you are emailing a list for the
first time then it will probably contain a lot of bad email
addresses. If you are sending thousands of emails then eventually
you will reach your limit because of all the bad email addresses in
the queue and you will not be able to send any more emails for
awhile. That will not be good for your business so it is worth
paying the extra money for a VPS if you are going to use it to send
mass emails.
Another good reason
for using a Virtual Private Server is that you can purchase
additional IP addresses and assign each one to a different domain in
your Web Host Manager (WHM). Then you can go to the Exim
Configuration Editor in WHM and under Domains and IPs- you can check
the box there which will cause the outgoing mail to be sent from the
domain's IP address instead of the main IP address of your VPS. If
you can't figure out how to do this then just submit a support
request and let Jaguar do it for you.
You want to be able to
do what I just described in case one or more of the major email
services start blocking your emails. They may start blocking your
emails because one of their customers reported you for spamming or
because you tried to send too many emails within a specified time.
They may also start blocking your emails if you sent too many emails
that bounced. They usually key on your IP address to block your
emails but sometimes they key on your domain name.
If you have your email
script installed on more than one domain name with different IP
addresses then you can start emailing from a domain/IP that is not
blocked. The more emails that get
delivered, the more money you can make!

If you order VPS
hosting be sure to get extra IP addresses and pay the extra fee per month for cPanel. It will be
much easier to do things on your server with cPanel installed. It is
very user friendly! The best way to learn how to use cPanel is by
watching video tutorials.

Email Software
installed on a Computer
As I mentioned
previously, you should use email software installed on your computer
to respond to questions and for reverse email marketing. You may
also want to use it to process your bounces especially for your best
lists like your opt-in lists. Processing bounces is NOT for the
beginning Email Marketer so you will probably want to use an email
script that can process the bounces instead. If you do decide to
process the bounces on your computer then it will take you a lot of
time to create the filters and you will need to know how to use a
database application like MS ACCESS. It is a good idea NOT to use
the Microsoft Email Application that is already installed on your
computer if you use a WINDOWS operating system. Those email
applications are more susceptible to viruses and other malware. Here are the features that
you should look for when choosing email software:
-
Simple to Install
-
Simple to Learn
How to Use
-
Can Create
Unlimited Accounts
-
Can Create
Unlimited Folders within Accounts
-
Can Store
Unlimited Message Templates
-
Can Create
Unlimited Address Books
-
Can Import and
Export Lists or Address Books
-
Can Create
Unlimited Filters
-
Can Send Automated
Replies
-
Can Forward or
Redirect Messages Automatically
-
Can Install
Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam Plug-ins
Recommendation:
THE
BAT (Professional Edition):
It has all of the features listed above plus many more. It costs
less than $50. I have used the software for years and it is very
reliable.
I recommend that you purchase the AGAVA Antispam Servant
which is a trainable anti-spam plug-in for THE BAT that costs only
$14. It will save you a lot of time because it moves spam into a junk folder. You will be able to go through them faster and
delete them all at once. It works very well at filtering spam
after you have trained it.

Steps You Need To
Take To Get Started
1)
Purchase the Data Harvesting Software:
Install the Data Harvesting Software and start harvesting the
prospects that you will be contacting in order to build your Buyers list. The
software is easy to learn how to use! Just watch the video
tutorials. If you can only afford one right now, get PHONE GOLD
MINER PRO first. The data it collects will be more targeted since it
harvests the data from membership sites.
Click HERE
for more information on PHONE GOLD MINER PRO
Click HERE
for more information on SCRAPER PRO GOLD
2) Buy at least 2
Domain Names: You will need at least one for your AMLM email
script and one for your squeeze pages. If you can afford more than one copy of the
AMLM email script then buy more and a buy a domain name for each
copy. You will get blocked by some major email providers eventually. When
you get blocked you should mail from another domain name on a
different IP address and not use the blocked IP address and
domain name until it is no longer being blocked. That could take
weeks!
If you only have one
copy of AMLM and your domain name gets blocked then you will have to
move it to another domain. If you can't do it yourself then you
will be paying to have it done and waiting until it is done before
you can start mailing again. If you don't have another domain name
to install it on then you will have to buy one and wait for the DNS
to propagate before you can start mailing again. Therefore, buy an
extra domain name and have it hosted on your VPS even if you cannot
afford an extra copy of AMLM. Remember, the more emails
that get delivered the more money you can make!
MORE TIPS:
-
You don't want the domain
name for your squeeze pages or website to get blocked so don't send mass
emails from it or use the domain name in your email ads. Use
a tracking link instead.
-
Pay the extra
money for private registration so that it will be more difficult
to find out who you are. It will also save you time because you
will not receive as much spam since the email address that
you used for registering your domain will not be available to
the public.
-
Picking domain
names to use for your email script is not that important but it
is important for your website or squeeze pages.
Click
the banner for an excellent source for domain names and web
hosting for your squeeze pages.

3)
Buy 2 Web Hosting Accounts: Get a VPS for your AMLM email script(s)
and a Shared server for your Squeeze page(s). I have already
discussed why I recommend a VPS for your AMLM email script(s). A
Shared server will be sufficient to host your website or squeeze
pages and autoresponder script if you decide to use your own
autoresponder script instead of an autoresponder service.
Click HERE
for more information on a Jaguar Virtual Private Server
MORE TIPS:
-
Get a Shared
hosting account from Namecheap to host your Website and/or
Squeeze Pages and Autoresponder script if you decide to use your
own. AMLM also functions as an autoresponder so get another copy
and you will not have to learn how to use another application.
The email sending limit for a Shared server with Namecheap is
200 emails per hour which is sufficient to send autoresponses.
The Pro Hosting package with Namecheap is only $6.95 per month
or $69.95 per year.
-
Set up 2 email
addresses at each domain where you plan to install the email
script to use in your email script. One will be used for your
From email address (firstname@yourdomain) and the other will be
used for the Return-path email address which is used for bounce
processing (bounces@yourdomain).
4)
Get Your Squeeze Page(s):
Create Them or Buy Them
MORE TIPS:
-
Have a Squeeze
Page for each income opportunity, product or service that you
are promoting.
-
Get a freebie to
give away to your subscribers. Zip it and upload it to a server.
If you are creating a free report, review the instructions for
that on the Marketing Resources page.
-
Add your
autoresponder code to your squeeze page(s) and test your squeeze
page(s) to be
sure they are working properly.
Click HERE
for more information on Squeeze Pages
5)
Get An Autoresponder: Buy a
Script or Buy the Service. Either way you need to
learn how to use it.
MORE TIPS:
-
Create an
autoresponder campaign for each income opportunity, product or
service that you are promoting.
-
Use your
autoresponder to send similar offers.
Click HERE
for more information on Autoresponders
6)
Buy the AMLM Email Script(s): Install
it yourself or pay for the installation. Then learn how to use it.
When
you purchase AMLM from my affiliate link I will send you my Master
Removal list and my Master Undeliverable list! If you use them to
remove the bad email addresses from your lists it will save you a
lot of time and trouble!
Click HERE
for more information about AMLM
7) Setup
the Email Software on Your Computer:
Buy THE BAT, install it and learn how to use it or use the email
application already installed on your computer.
MORE TIPS:
-
Create an account
for each installed email script.
-
Create at least
one account for your autoresponder.
-
Create a message
template for reverse marketing to promote harvesting software
and other products and services related to your niche.
-
Create a Marketers
address book and when you receive solicitations or questions
from Marketers- add their data to the address book and use
reverse marketing.
-
Create an
Unsubscribers address book.
-
Create a filter
for unsubscribe notifications and remove requests so that the
email addresses will automatically be added to the Unsubscribers
address book. People who do not put REMOVE or UNSUBSCRIBE in the
Subject will have to be added manually.
8)
Procedures for Building Your Lists:
Now that you have all your tools and everything setup I will go
over the procedures you need to follow
to build your lists.
Your main goal should
be to build a list of BUYERS!
Everyone with an email address is NOT a potential buyer for what you
are offering. That is why you must start with lists of people who
are potential buyers or prospects in your niche or market. Remember,
that the niche I will be focusing on is Making Money Online or
Internet Marketing.
If you are looking
for people to join your income opportunity then obviously the best
prospects are people who are interested in looking at income
opportunity offers. The best place to find those people are in the
membership lists of income opportunity programs! Income
opportunities come and go so even though most members of a
particular program will not be interested in looking an an income opportunity
NOW, they may be interested later. However, there will be some
people in the list who are not doing so well in that particular
program so they will be interested in looking at other income
opportunities NOW!
Active members of an
income opportunity program will most likely be interested in what
you are offering if it will help them to Make More Money in their
program. That may be a product or service or prospects for their
opportunity! Offer them something they NEED and you will get what
you want which is MONEY of course. Therefore, while your primary
goal may be to find people for your income opportunity- be ready to
offer people who are not interested in your business something they need to build their business!
List Definitions
Now, I will explain
how to build lists of BUYERS. First of all, I will define some list names to help you better understand what
I am going to explain.
C Lists:
The lists of people that you start with to build your Buyers Lists
will be referred to as C Lists or Prospect Lists. That may be lists
that you purchased but the best lists will most likely come from the data that you harvest.
Eventually you should have quite a few C Lists.
B Lists:
The lists of people who click the links for more information about
your offers will be referred to as Link Clickers. The list of people
who send you solicitations about your market or niche (internet
marketing for example) will be referred to as Solicitors. Link
Clickers and Solicitors are also referred to as B Lists.
Since the people in your B Lists performed some kind of action like
clicking a link for more info or responding with a question or
similar offer, they are more likely to become buyers than people in
your C Lists.
You may have several B Lists. For example, one B List may consist of
people who clicked a link for more info about an income opportunity
or replied with a question about your opportunity. Another B List
may consist of people who replied with a question about data
harvesting software or clicked a link for more info about it.
A Lists:
The lists of people who fill out an opt-in form on your squeeze pages with a
valid email address will be referred to as your A Lists or Opt-In
Lists.
The people on your A
Lists are much more likely to become buyers than people in your B
Lists. They performed 2 actions: They read your email and clicked a
link for more info and then they read your squeeze page and opted in
to receive even more information.
You may have several A
Lists. For example, one A List may consist of people who opted in to
receive more information about an income opportunity. Another A List
may consist of people who opted in to receive more information about
a particular product or service.
You should have each
squeeze page tied to an autoresponder with several follow-up
messages. Some people will not buy from you right away so keep
contacting them about your offer and also send them other related
offers.
Buyers Lists:
The lists of people who Made You Money are your Buyers Lists. You
may have several Buyers Lists. For example, one may consist of people who
joined your income opportunity. Another may consist of people who purchased
data harvesting software.
You want your Buyers Lists to be
categorized so that you can send them similar offers. If what they
bought HELPED them then they will probably buy from you again and
again!
Procedures
1) To build your
BUYERS List as fast as possible you need to start with the most
targeted lists that you can find. You must start with a good
prospect list or C List. You should always be searching for good C
Lists. Your success depends on it!
2) You want to create
an ad that will generate the most clicks on your link for more
information so you need to test
different ads and different subject lines. The way to do that is to
use a procedure called split-testing.
-
Split one of your
large C Lists equally into at least 2 segments with at least
2,000 people in each segment.
-
Create an ad for
each segment. Keep your ads very short! The purpose of your ad is
to get people to click a link for more information and go to
your squeeze page.
-
Create an account
in AMLM or your email script.
-
Create custom
fields in the account if you plan to use more fields than first
name and email address.
-
Make a copy of the
account for every list segment.
-
Import your list
segments into each account.
-
Create the
tracking link for each account using the link to your squeeze
page. Even though your prospects will
be going to the same squeeze page the tracking link for each
account will be different.
-
Copy and paste
each ad into the different accounts.
-
Copy and paste the
correct tracking link into each ad.
-
Send the 2 email
campaigns.
-
A couple of days
after your campaigns have finished count the clicks for each
campaign. The ad that generated the most clicks for more
information is the winner.
-
Do the same thing
over again comparing a new ad to the winning ad until you have
created the most responsive ad possible. Be sure to keep the
body of the ad the same sometimes and test a new subject.
3) Now that you
have a great ad you need to create the best squeeze page that you
can. The purpose of your squeeze page is to generate Opt-Ins or an A
List. You want to convert as many Link Clickers into Opt-Ins as
possible so that they will be in your autoresponder to receive
follow-up messages about your offer and to receive related offers.
You will accomplish this by using split-testing.
Note: Most
autoresponder services will not allow you to import lists but if you
are using your own autoresponder script you could import your B
Lists into your autoresponder. However, since those on your B Lists
have not actually opted in they may report you for spam so you may
not want to do that. Your autoresponder should be on the same domain
as your squeeze pages and you do not want that IP address or domain
to ever get blocked. Therefore, it is best to send follow-up
messages and new offers to your B Lists from your email script.
-
Create 2 different
Squeeze pages. Improving your squeeze page could be as simple as
changing the freebie you are using as an incentive to get people
to opt-in. So you could start by making a copy of your squeeze
page and only change the information about your freebie. Or you
could use the same the freebie and change some of the text or
information about your offer.
-
Upload the 2
Squeeze pages to your server.
-
Create a new
account in your autoresponder and all of the messages and copy
it so that you have 2 new accounts. If you already have an
autoresponder account created with the appropriate messages then
just make 2 copies of it.
-
Split one of your
C Lists equally into 2 segments of equal size.
-
Create a new
account in AMLM or your email script.
-
Copy and paste
your best ad into the new account.
-
Make a copy of the
account so that you have 2 new accounts.
-
Import your list
segments into each account.
-
Create a tracking
link for each account using the 2 different links to your 2
different squeeze pages.
-
Copy and paste the
correct tracking link into each ad.
-
Send the 2 email
campaigns
-
A couple of days
after your campaigns have finished count the clicks for each
campaign. The number of clicks will not be the same but they
should be close because you mailed the same ad to the same list. You
just split the list.
-
Count the number
of opt-ins that each squeeze page generated and compare the
number of opt-ins to the number of clicks from each campaign.
The squeeze page that has the lowest number of clicks per opt-in
is the winner. For example if squeeze page A generated 5 opt-ins
from 25 clicks then that would be 5 clicks per opt-in. If
squeeze page B generated 10 opt-ins from 30 clicks then that would be 3 clicks per opt-in. Therefore, squeeze page B is
the winner.
-
Do the same thing
over again comparing a new squeeze page to the winning squeeze
page until you have created the best converting squeeze page
possible.
4) You will be able to
determine which prospect lists or C Lists are the best after you
have mailed them by comparing
the number of clicks to the number of emails sent. Of course the ads
need to be exactly the same and the deliverability of the lists need
to be the same in order to be valid but you will know enough to be
able to determine if it is worth your time to email a list again. Once you have
determined the best ad and squeeze page to use in a campaign you
should email your best C Lists again.
If you used bounce
processing and an unsubscribe or remove link in your previous
campaign each C list will be smaller and much cleaner than before.
Most of the bad email addresses will have been removed. However,
email addresses go bad and people decide to unsubscribe all the time
so a particular C List will always be shrinking as long as you
continue to send emails to it.
Before you start
another campaign to your C Lists you need to remove all the Link
Clickers (B Lists). They will still be in your C Lists so you want
to remove them and keep them in separate lists. Since everyone who
opted in clicked a link first, the Opt-Ins (A Lists) will be removed
when you remove the Link Clickers. The Opt-Ins will also be in your
Link Clickers list so you want to remove them from there. You can
use Bulk Removal in AMLM to accomplish these tasks. Here are the
steps:
-
After you have
logged in to AMLM open the account or C List that you want to
contact again.
-
Click on Link
Tracker from the menu.
-
Click on Active
Prospects from the menu.
-
If you used more
than 1 link choose the appropriate link.
-
Click on Show.
-
Save the file of
Link Clickers to your computer.
-
Open the file in a
spreadsheet. Use Excel (Microsoft Office) or Calc (OpenOffice).
OpenOffice is FREE and it is similar to Microsoft Office.

to get it.
-
Copy the email
addresses (Ctrl C).
-
Go back to AMLM
and click on Subscriber Manager from the menu.
-
Click on Bulk
Removal from the menu.
-
Paste the email
addresses in the box (Ctrl V).
-
Click on Remove
Prospects.
-
Click on Remove
Prospects again and the Link Clickers will be removed. If you
were promoting more than one thing in your campaign and used an
additional tracking link then you need to repeat the steps
above.
-
Create a new
account in AMLM for each list of Link Clickers and import them.
-
Go to the
appropriate account or list in your autoresponder.
-
Export the Opt-Ins
to your computer. Be sure to save them so you will have a copy
in case something happens to your database on your server.
-
Repeat steps 7 and
8.
-
Go back to AMLM
and open the account for your Link Clickers.
-
Click on
Subscriber Manager from the menu.
-
Repeat steps 10 -
13 and the Opt-Ins will be removed from your Link Clickers. If
you created more than one Opt-In list from the previous campaign
then repeat.
-
Click on Export
list from the menu.
-
Choose the format
you want and export All to a File.
-
Click the Export
button.
-
Save the file to
your computer. Now, you have a backup copy of your Link
Clickers.
5) Before you begin a
campaign to a new C List you need to remove any people who are in
your Master Removal List. That is the most important thing you can
do to stay out of trouble!
Now that you know how
to use the Bulk Removal feature in AMLM it should not be a problem
for you. Here is what you need to do...
-
Configure AMLM to
send email notifications when someone unsubscribes.
-
Configure THE BAT
or your email application on your computer to add the email
addresses from the Unsubscribe notifications to a special
address book that you created specifically for Unsubscribers.
-
Export the
Unsubscribers from your address book.
-
Import the
Unsubscribers email addresses into a database and/or Save them
in a text file.
-
Copy and paste the
email addresses into AMLM.
-
Delete all the
Unsubscribers from the Address Book in THE BAT or the next time
that you export them you will have duplicates in your Master
Removal List unless you know how to remove the duplicates.
