We are very excited about the new developments at TrafficWave.net and we are looking forward to announcing even more powerful updates for you in the near future.

This article is going to spend a little bit of time on showing our Affiliates how to recruit more and retain better customers and distributors.

As one of the owners here at TrafficWave.net, I get a “birds-eye view” of what is going on. I get to see when groups are growing, when groups stop growing, when someone is really taking off, and when someone is backing off. Over the years, I have seen a very clearly defined trend amongst our Affiliates that really puts them in to two distinct groups.

Both groups want to build more income. Both groups are working to refer other TrafficWave.net users. But the big difference I have seen is that one group focuses solely on “recruiting” to get people in to the Affiliate plan while the other group is actually doing two things better than the other group:

1. Using the tools.
2. Showing others how to use the tools.

That’s the big secret and the big difference. Consider your own TrafficWave.net business for a moment. Which makes more sense to you from a business perspective:

1. Trying to sign up a bunch of people and hoping they stick?OR …
2. Actually USING these powerful tools to build your own lists, selling to those lists, and showing your referrals how to do the same?

Really think about that for a moment. If someone joins your team for the sole reason that they are hoping for spillover or some sort of “magic bean” they might get lucky. But any old wind will blow them off course and they will quickly jump ship looking for the next pot of gold or “power team build” ( and those things pop up left and right ).

I’m not knocking “team builds” at all. I think we all do better when we are able to work together with a team that is committed to our mutual success. A good team will be focused on helping existing team members get good results AND referring new team members. But “team” shouldn’t mean, “Join us and we will make you rich”. It should mean “partner with us and we will work together for everyone’s success!”

If someone joins your team because they know they can build a powerful business asset (their list) for less than 60 cents a day … and they begin building that list … and they begin generating sales through that list … doesn’t it make sense that they would stay with you longer and even refer others based on their own success?

I’m one of the company founders and I want you to understand that this is my own process. I USE these tools, myself. I have other business projects I am involved with and I build lists to generate sales in those projects. (I USE these tools). I also build a list specifically focused on showing others how to use these tools to build their lists. Some of my referrals have been with me for 15 years! This is because they have LISTS and they get RESULTS with those lists!

Remember the 30 Minute List Building Challenge? 

I created this simple system that shows people exactly how they can get started building a list with our system within minutes! When people actually build a list, they are more motivated to stay with us because they want to keep that business asset and generate sales. As they generate sales they can quickly and easily show other businesses how to do the same. As a result, their TrafficWave.net income grows.

One of the reasons Chase Swift is consistently showing up in our Top Affiliates reports is because he is USING his autoresponder campaigns to build lists and sell products AND he is showing other online marketers how they can use the TrafficWave.net system to build their own lists with TrafficWave.net.

Imagine:

• Money comes in every week through Fast Track Bonuses.
• Money comes in every month through Residual Commissions.
• Money comes in daily, weekly, etc… because you have a list you can sell to!

Build Your Credibility With Your Lists

Building your own lists gives you a lot more credibility in the market. Would you take fitness advice from someone who was dramatically out of shape, never worked out, and ate nothing but junk food? No! You would look for someone who is in good (or great) shape and follow their example. You might even buy a gym membership and pay a trainer! Why? They have the results you are looking for!

It should be the same with your TrafficWave.net business. Build your lists. Sell to your lists. Teach your lists how to build and sell to their lists. You will find that you get a much more solid customer base as your referrals USE and benefit from the tools. You will also find that your fellow Affiliates are more productive at referring because they have and can teach how to get results.

Imagine how quickly you team can grow and how strong that team will be when you have a bunch of your team members getting solid results and growing their referrals as part of that process.

Once you have an account with us, be sure to take advantage of our 30 Minute List Building Challenge as you begin promoting your TrafficWave.net affiliate site. Build your lists. Get results. Your belief will skyrocket and that will absolutely make you a more effective business builder for you and your team!

How To Maximize Your Email Marketing Results

Email Marketing is one of the most cost effective ways to contact prospects and customers.

When compared to the cost of Direct Mail, Email Marketing is considerably less expensive and can have a much larger and faster impace on immediate sales.

When done correctly, email marketing can be extremely powerful and cost effective. No other medium allows such easy and measurable access to help your business build value and credibility.

The trick is to realize that when email marketing is done incorrectly, it can also become one of the most destructive things that can happen to your business. Irresponsible email marketing can quickly erode your brand equity, alienate customers, and virtually guarantee that your prospects never buy from you.

This guide is designed to give you some insights on how you can use best practices to allow your business to make the most of your email marketing campaigns, maximize your return on investment, and truly profit from permission-based email marketing with TrafficWave.net.

It is our goal and sincere desire that you and your business effectively implement and benefit from this guide.

Feel free to distribute this guide to your business associates, team members, web site visitors, etc… provided that the information is provided as-is.

Tips For Email Marketing Success:

Only send emails to people and businesses who have requested to receive them. Otherwise, you are spamming (sending unsolicited commercial email) which will undoubtedly get your emails blacklisted, blocked, and trashed.

Only send content that is relevant to what the receiver has requested. When someone requests information from you, they are placing their trust in you that they will receive relevant information. Violating that trust can quickly cause your prospects to unsubscribe.

Be consistent with your sending schedule, whether daily, weekly, bi-weekly. As your subscribers become familiar with your consistency, their trust in you (and your value to them) are increased.

For best results, we recommend sending business emails on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Business emails sent on Mondays can easily be lost in the weekend clutter. Business emails sent on a Friday can easily be ignore in the rush to get away from the office for the weekend.

Make your “From” name in your messages either your company name or the name of a constact person at your business. Then be consistent in using that name. Many times, the decision to open an email or not is made in a split-second. By using a name that is familiar to your subscribers, you dramatically improve the odds of having your message opened.

Create your messages in both HTML and plain text. When you send only in HTML, approximately 5% of your subscribers will simply receive a blank email due to their email program not being able to display HTML properly.

Avoid using all caps or multiple exclamation marks in your subject line or body. Not only does this make your message appear unprofessional but it will also trigger spam filters which will cause your messages to get blocked.

Don’t try to “trick” spam filters by doing things like adding dots to your words (like F.R.E.E.). Email companies employee staff to constantly monitor and manage filters to catch these tricks. Keep your writing professional and always write with regard to the actual human being that will be reading the message when it is opened.

Never miss an opportunity to build your list. Add subscription forms to your web site or blog. When you receive a business card, ask if you can add them to your email list. If you have a brick and mortar business location, place a signup sheet in view of your customers and offer to send them email updates, special offers, coupons, etc…

Track your click-throughs using an AdTracker. Knowing how well your messages are generating reader interest can help you maximize your email marketing campaigns. Use an AdTracker for each link to see which messages are getting the best responses and which messages may need some tweaking.

Keys To Successful Email Marketing:

Always use a permission-based email marketing system such as that provided by TrafficWave.net.

Decide on the type of content you will be sending such as a newsletter, coupon offers, special announcements, training, sales messages, etc… and stick to that type of content.

Add signup forms to your blog or web site so that you can start converting web site visitors in to subscribers.

Create a good email template using TrafficWave.net’s HTML Editor. Your in-house team can create a template, you can select from a pre-formatted template in your TrafficWave.net back office, or you can have one of our team create a custom template for a nominal charge.

Develop quality relevant content and begin sending your message out to your list. Continue sending relevant content to your list, making sure to keep your schedule consistent. As your list grows, you will begin to notice increased repeat traffic to your web site and/or place of business which should result on increased sales (If applicable).

Use personalization in your subject lines and content to improve open and response rates in your email marketing. This is accomplished by inserting tokens in to your body message as you create your messages in the TrafficWave.net HTML Editor.

Remind your subscribers to add your email address to their approved senders list. As major ISP’s are becoming increasinly aggressive about filtering email, you’ll want to be sure your subscribers can receive your messages. You can accomplish this by adding a reminder to your subscription confirmation pages, such as:

To ensure you receive the requested information, please add email@yourcompany.com to your Address Book. Thank you!

AutoResponder Delivery Rates

Any AutoResponder service can claim high deliverability and a good reputation. Proving it is usually a different matter, altogether. The unfortunate reality is that there appears to be a lot of misinformation about deliverability and many email marketers often find out too late that their chosen AutoResponder service isn’t quite as reliable about getting their message delivered as they may have been told.

TrafficWave.net provides (and can verify) outstanding deliverability and “sender reputation” as demonstrated by a number of third-party monitoring services such as:

• SenderBase, (a Cisco company).
• WatchGuard Reputation Authority.
• SenderScore.

Take a look. Compare to other autoresponders services you are reviewing. We think you’ll agree that TrafficWave.net has one of the better reputations in the industry.

Email Marketing: Single Optin vs Double Optin

Email Marketers are constantly debating the worth of single optin vs double optin when it comes to building their lists.

Single optin simply means that someone can enter any information in to a capture form and they are automatically subscribed and/or given access to the free ebook, software, etc… that is being offered.

Double optin means that once the form is submitted, the person will receive an email asking them to confirm their request. Typically, the confirmation is accomplished by having the subscriber click a uniquely coded link.

The most common argument for using the single optin method is that some email marketing practitioners believe it helps build a larger list.

The claim is that people are unlikely to take that extra step to click a confirmation link so you could end up losing out on potential prospects.

The most common argument for using the double optin method for email marketing is that email marketers want to know that the prospects they are generating are:

1. Real humans that read their emails.
2. Genuinely interested in receiving the information being offered.

Someone using the single optin method may think that they have 5,000 prospects in their database but may actually have somewhere around 3,000 because 2,000 are nothing more than junk emails, spam traps, or bots.

While 3,000 prospects is nothing to take lightly, consider that if 2,000 of those addresses are not valid, that means the ebook, software, download, etc… that was being offered has essentally been stolen if you did not ask those prospects to confirm before receiving your offer.

Another big issue to consider is deliverability.

If your list is cluttered with unknown or garbage email addresses, this can have a negative impact on your overall deliverability. Many email service providers will begin blocking domains that are known to repeatedly send to email addresses that don’t exist. Over time, this can result in your messages not being delivered to the real prospects that you do have. What good are those real prospects if your message can’t be delivered to them?

Some proponents of single optin hold the position that it doesn’t matter since email marketing is so inexpensive. “Why should we care if some of the email addresses in our list don’t really exist? Email marketing is so cheap anyway.”

This is a flawed perspective. Those bad email addresses could be costing you more than you realize.

Not only is your deliverability affected, meaning that your message may not be getting through to even the good email addresses, but you may be overpaying your autoresponder service provider.

AutoResponder companies like Aweber, GetResponse, Constant Contact, iContact, etc… charge on a sliding scale meaning the larger your list, the more you will pay each month.

When their system looks at your account, they see the total number of prospects. So if you have 5,000 records but only 3,000 are actually deliverable, you are paying too much.

The idea behind using technology like autoresponders and email marketing should be to help your business increase sales while reducing expenses. Using single optin to build your email marketing lists could cost you not only in efficiency but also in your pocketbook.

The post TrafficWave.net Simplified appeared first on Email Marketing AutoResponders.

Lately, we have begun receiving a number of requests for help with moving email marketing lists to TrafficWave.net from another service. We recognize that moving your list is a big decision and we are honored that you are considering TrafficWave.net as your new home for your email marketing lists.

Why move your lists to TrafficWave.net from one of the other service providers?

Cost savings is always a big factor and we are very happy to be able to help businesses save a considerable amount of money when they move their email marketing lists over to our system. With our flat rate pricing, it is easy to see how you will save money when you switch to TrafficWave.net.

Deliverability is another big factor and TrafficWave.net enjoys a very high deliverability rate. TrafficWave.net adheres to a very strict policy of what is and is not accepted when it comes to building your email marketing list. Our high standard is a big reason our deliverability rating is so high around the world. No matter where your list is, if your messages can’t get delivered, your email marketing campaign is dead in the water.

If you are wanting to move an established list over from another company, and this list has been built reputably, we do not anticipate any issues with your move. We do need to be clear, however, that purchased or harvested lists are going to be a problem for you no matter which service you use and such lists will not be allowed in the TrafficWave.net system.

So, if you have a list (or lists) that you have been managing with other services and that list is a stable list of valid subscribers you are already regularly interacting with, we welcome your transition and we look forward to helping you transition your list over quickly and easily without the need for your existing subscribers to reconfirm.

Once you have your Active TrafficWave.net account open, and your autoresponder campaign is set up (including your letters), send your single full list to our support team, via email, as a .csv file. Be sure to include your username, the name of the autoresponder campaign, and any special instructions. Also, be sure to tell us where the list is being moved from (Aweber, GetResponse, Constant Contact, Mail Chimp, etc), how the list was built, and how often you have been mailing to your list.

Upon review, if everything checks out, your list will be imported in to the system and you will receive an email confirmation showing you the totals/results of the move.

Feel free to ask any other questions you have along the way.

The post Moving Your Email Marketing Lists appeared first on Email Marketing AutoResponders.

Once you have begun building your email marketing list, the next step is to make sure your readers open their messages. Building a huge list is great, but a list of 100,000 subscribers is worthless if your email messages aren’t being opened.

Let’s look at some of the best ways to use your subject lines to improve your email open rates.

1. Reason Why email subject lines: This email subject line gives your reader a solid reason to open your email marketing message.

   Example: Why List Building Is So Important

2. Benefit email subject lines: Benefits sell. Features tell.

   Example: Increase Sales by 50% Using This Simple Method.

3. Question email subject lines: A good question can make your reader want to know more so they are more inclined to open your email marketing message.

   Example: Do You Know Why AutoResponders Should Be a Part Of Your Online Marketing Plan?

4. Testimonial email subject lines: Testimonials build credibility and social proof. This makes readers curious to learn more.

   Example: He used this technique to make sales in 24 hours.

5. How-To email subject lines: Show your readers how to achieve a goal and they will want to learn more by opening your message.

   Example: How To Build Your Email Marketing Lists

6. Personalized email subject lines: Any subject line will capture more attention when it is addressed specifically to the recipient. If you are capturing your prospect’s name, use it in your subject line.

   Example: Jim Smith, you can build your email marketing list absolutely free!

Hopefully, this will give you some good ideas on ways you can use your email subject lines to improve your open rates. Comment to share your experiences and any other ideas you may have to help improve your email subject lines.

This article is going to show you a real case study for how email marketing is being used by a Houston area musician to help increase her bookings.

Sheri Lavo is a Houston area vocalist. Known for her versatile and powerful jazz stylings, she has performed around the country for a number of years. Like most musicians, Sheri is always interested in more gigs and more exposure. She decided to see how email marketing could help her get more bookings.

She started by creating her blog at EWS2.com which can be seen at http://sherilavo.com where she posted pictures and demos of her singing. Check it out. She’s pretty good!

Her next step was to open an email marketing autoresponder account with us here at TrafficWave.net. Sheri actually runs two campaigns: one for promoting her existing gigs to her fan base and the other for reaching out to booking agents and venue contacts around Houston.

Sheri has added a capture form to her blog at http://sherilavo.com/join-my-list/ where her fans can keep in touch and find out where she is performing next.

She also added a form on her site for booking contacts where booking agents and promotional staff can subscribe to receive information about booking Sheri for their events.

Her next step was to begin promoting her blog. She took simple steps like announcing her blog and her list on her Facebook profile, making sure her blog URL was on her business cards, etc… Within minutes, her fans began subscribing to her list so they can stay updated on her upcoming gig dates.

She also began reaching out to her known booking contacts in the industry, calling new contacts, and adding them to her list (with their permission).

Within minutes of sending out a broadcast to her booking list, she began receiving inquiries from agents looking to book her for events around the Houston area.

Her autoresponder makes it easy to keep her fan base informed, build her fan base, and improve communication with booking agents and venues in the area.

If you are an entertainer looking to increase your branding and exposure, we invite you to check out our 30 Day Free Trial to see how email marketing can help you build and communicate with your fan base and improve your communication with potential booking contacts.

Many of our members have asked that we allow the collection of email only rather than requiring both name and email. As of December 20, 2015, this option is now available.

Now, when you are creating a new campaign you will have the option to specify “No Name Field” for your capture forms.

To change any existing campaigns, log in to your back office and go to your Campaign Manager.

Click the Profile tab and you will see the option labeled “Define Campaign Data“. Click that option and you will see the ability to select “No Name Field“.

Be sure to scroll down and click “Submit Changes To Data Collection” to save the change.

Your next step will be to edit any letters that are using  tokens for names you have been collecting.

If you have loaded HTML form code to your web site, blog, our outside capture pages, you may need to reload that code, as well. If you are using the javascript option, any existing forms on your blog, site or other capture pages will automatically be updated when you select the “No Name Field” option. Be sure to double check all of your capture forms after any changes are made.

It is important to mention that we strongly encourage our users to collect and use name information as personalization in your subject lines and message copy can dramatically influence open rates and click-throughs.

It is a good idea to test your campaigns with and without name information to see if one performs better than the other.

Feel free to ask any questions you have along the way!

Yours In Success,

The post Email Only Option Now Available appeared first on Email Marketing AutoResponders.

I’m a big fan of leverage. Any time I can leverage time, resources, team, etc… I am winning. This is why I love list building.

When you spend at least a portion of your time, energy, and budget on building a targeted email list, you are essentially creating a 24 hour sales force in your business.

In a traditional work environment, sales are happening only when you have sales staff actively pounding the pavement, dialing the phone, etc… With most businesses, the sales effort is limited to only those hours in which you are “open for business”. This limits your sales growth.

Adding a capture form to your web site lets you effectively generate targeted sales leads for your offer 24/7. Whether you are actually in the office, on a plane, in bed, or on a golf course, your sales force (autoresponder) is constantly working for you to generate leads and follow up with those prospects.

With TrafficWave.net, you are able to create capture pages on your web site or blog to help convert web site visitors in to hot responsive leads who are actively looking for information about your product or service.

Around the world, musicians, home based business professionals, restaurants, and a variety of other professions are actively using list building as part of their growth strategy.

Tap in to the power of list building and email marketing for your business, today.

We will even give you a 30 day free trial to see for yourself just how powerful email marketing can be in your business. Click Here To Learn More.

The post List Building Creates a 24 Hour Sales Force appeared first on Email Marketing AutoResponders.

Email Marketing is one of the most powerful tools available to small businesses to help maximize profits and efficiencies. The ability to save time and reduce overhead while creating new customers and retaining existing customers is a very powerful feature. Still,  even the most experienced email marketing professionals face challenges along the way.

It is estimated that more than 205 billion emails are sent and received each day. Making sure that your email message stands out from the competition is a big challenge. The first step, of course, is to make sure that your message gets delivered.

Many businesses assume that once an email is sent, delivery is “automatic”. This is not always the case, especially if the sender is using a personal email account instead of a professional email service provider (ESP) like TrafficWave.net.

Professional ESP’s have built-in tools and processes designed to help your message get delivered and look professional when it arrives.

In this post, we will take a look at some of the many obstacles you face in getting your email marketing message delivered as it makes its way to the recipient inbox and some of the ways professional ESP’s like TrafficWave.net can help you overcome those obstacles.

It All Begins With Creating Your Message.

With TrafficWave.net, you can create messages using email templates and branding messages to help your message look professional and reinforce your company image.

You can also access support along the way to help with any challenges you may be facing.

Without a service like ours, you are on your own, miss branding options, and have no support along the way.

Personalization Is a Big Plus.

When you use TrafficWave.net, you can personalize each message sent to your subscribers, helping your message to stand out. This personalization can dramatically improve your open rate. This also helps you build rapport with your recipients.

Without a service like ours, you are mass blasting, using a CC or BCC option and sending “blind” emails to your recipients. Your message can easily get lost in the shuffle.

Scheduling Gives You Options.

With TrafficWave.net, you can schedule your email marketing at the time that works best for you. This helps promote special events and offers at the time that gives you the most impact.

Without a service like ours, your message only goes out when you hit “send”. You lose the option to schedule your messages.

Automated Followup Saves You Time.

With TrafficWave.net, you can set up and schedule a series of follow up messages to your prospects that will help keep your brand in front of your prospects on a consistent basis.

Without a service like ours, you will have to manually create and send follow up messages to your entire list, manually.

Deliverability Matters.

With TrafficWave.net, your email is being sent via our network which we constantly monitor. We are working tirelessly on enhancing and supporting our relationship with major email providers to make sure your email marketing message gets delivered.

Without a service like ours, you are sending your email blind and hoping for the best.

Reporting Keeps You In Control.

Within minutes of sending your email marketing message through the TrafficWave.net system, you can begin seeing how well your message is received. When you know your message is getting opened, you know your campaign is successful. If your message is not getting opened, you can make adjustments and resend quickly.

When going it along, you never know the overall scope of if your message is being opened so you’re (again) just hoping for the best.

Stop putting your business success at risk.

There have been a number of changes around the internet that are having an impact on overall deliverability. We wanted to make sure you are aware of the steps you can take to help.

Here is a handy reference for overall deliverability issues:

EMail Marketing Deliverability

Another quick tip for gmail users when messages get marked as spam: Gmail knows that some messages they make as spam are not actually spam and they have this to say:

“The more spam you mark, the better our system will get at weeding out those annoying messages. If you or we mark a good message as spam, select the message and click Not Spam at the top of the message.”

So we may need to help Gmail learn from time to time. Over time, these false spam indications will become less and less. Of course, be sure are sending messages that add real value and aren’t just blasting out spammy junk mail. Part of your deliverability will always be impacted by the rapport you build with your subscribers.

The post Messages marked as spam appeared first on Email Marketing AutoResponders.

Content can absolutely affect your deliverability! Many ISP spam filters will automatically review your email content & subject line to determine if it is spam. There is no magic rule or formula that you can follow to guarantee emails are delivered to the inbox, but you can exercise a little common sense and follow some simple guidelines to help your email marketing message get to the inbox.

It is a good idea to check back here frequently. We will be updating the article as we gain more insights and experiences.

• Keep your subject lines between 35 to 50 characters long. The longer your subject line, the more likely it will be flagged as spam.
• Don’t use ALL CAPITALIZED LETTERS in your subject line or body.
• Avoid sending messages that have only a single large image. Have a good balance of text and images. The more text you have regarding your images, the better.
• Make sure there are no spelling mistakes or HTML errors.
• Avoid using spammy type words such as ‘money’, ‘free’, ‘dollars’, ‘cash’, ‘limited time offer’, ‘medication’, or ‘pornography’.
• Avoid common spam tactics like using a dollar sign($) for the letter “s”.
• Limit the use of ‘click here’ links.
• Minimize the use of bold text, red font, exclamation points (!!!), questions marks (?) and symbols like $ € £ @
• Make sure your content is relevant to your offer and helps build rapport/credibility with your subscribers. Emails that are constantly off-topic and are nothing more than constant ads will impact deliverability and reception by your subscribers.

When we find autoresponder campaigns with messages that violate these guidelines, we may suspend the campaign until the issues are corrected. This will help us to make sure our focus is on helping responsible email marketers continue to experience outstanding deliverability rates.

For more tips affecting email marketing deliverability, check out these articles.

The post How Content Affects Deliverability appeared first on Email Marketing AutoResponders.

When creating your email marketing messages, proofreading can be a very helpful way to make sure your messages are going to look the way you want them to when they get sent.

Clicking the proofread option on any of your email message subject lines gives you a screen with the layout and content of your message.  You can also select the option to highlight any tokens you are using in you message and even have the system include sample data.

This is a great way to double check and proofread your work.

Did you know you can also send a proofread copy of your message to your email addresses? This can be very helpful in understanding how your messages will look from one email provider to another.

For example, an email that looks great in gmail may not look the same in hotmail or yahoo.

To set up different email addresses you can use for proofreading, log in to your back office. Along the top of your screen, you will see the blue bar. Mouse over “AutoResponder” and click “Validated Email  Addresses”.

You will see any validated email addresses and a button labeled “Validate New Email Address”.  Click that button and enter your new email address in the form that pops up. Click “Submit”.

Check the email address you entered for a validation email. Follow the instructions in that email to validate your email address.

Now, when you are proofreading your messages, you will see the button labeled “Proofread By Email”. You can then select the email addresses you want to send your proofread copy to.

This is a quick and easy way for you to check your message formatting across different email services so that you can know what your subscribers are seeing. We recommend creating test email accounts across the major providers so you can monitor your message formatting across the most popular services.

The post Proofread via email appeared first on Email Marketing AutoResponders.

As I’m talking to business owners, they often ask me what email marketing is and how it can help them grow their business. It’s a great question and one I’m always more than happy to answer.

Email marketing is often misunderstood and it’s easy to see why. If you have found yourself deleting those unwanted messages you get from businesses you have never contacted, that is not email marketing. That is spamming, or the sending of unsolicited commercial email advertising.

Real email marketing is when you actually request information about a product, service, or opportunity, and you ASK the company to send you information. On the business side, this means you have set up forms on your web site or blog, or maybe you have created a simple “capture page” where you offer information, samples, or downloads about your product or service to your visitors. When those visitors fill out the form, they are saying to you, “Yes. I want your information. Feel free to send it to me.”

Your task as a responsible marketer is to make sure you are sending the relevant requested information and helping your prospect better understand the value of doing business with you.

Note the difference between sending unsolicited (unrequested) commercial email and building an actual rapport with people who actually WANT (and request) your information.

No matter what we read about various marketing studies, tactics, and techniques, the bottom line is that prospects buy when they are ready to buy. This can be due to general timing, available funds, shifts in priorities, etc… much of which we have no control over.

But if you are responsibly building rapport, providing valuable information, and respecting your prospects with relevant information, they are simply more likely to do business with you when the time comes.

One of the great things about email marketing, when it is done correctly, is that you essentially create an automated funnel for generating new prospects, following up with those prospects, and generating more sales. All of this can happen around the clock. No matter what sort of business hours you run, your email marketing campaign runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your email marketing never gets tired, never forgets, and never calls in sick.

If you would like to learn more about the power of email marketing and how it can help your business automate lead generation and sales, we would love to send you our free report. Just fill out the quick form below. You will receive only the information you requested and your information will never be shared with anyone else.

We look forward to sending your free report!
