How to Manage & Mail Your Email List

One thing that I vividly recall being a problem from me is knowing what and when to send to my email list. Another problem was simply knowing how to manage my list and if that was even that important to my business's success( trust me it is).

The first thing is just figuring how to email your list. You can email your list as frequently as you need as long as you're delivering value. I can't stress it enough. When you're delivering value over being delivering to the flashy object (misleading) viewers you're building a solid following.

Avoid up-sales in email after email unless you're promoting something you're truly expecting to sale big for you. 

Don't be afraid of unsubscribes. Having people unsubscribe it's always a bad thing I'm finding out; if you're doing what your list expected from you when they signed up. What this does is makes your email list a more active and receptive one.

Maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. First we need to figure out who needs to see which emails. For instance you wouldn't want your first email to someone who's just signed up to your list to be an sale would you(no)?

Determine if it's better for you to have separate lists for separate projects or if the products you promoting are fairly similar it may be best to have one list broken down into groups based on interest.

Now we just need to determine is there a best time day/hour to mail your list? It's said that if you email your list too much they're likely to unsubscribe. This is not always true if again you are delivering content of value to them. Likewise if you don't email your list enough they will forget you. So is there a specific time to email your list, no, not exactly but you have to test your list see which days they open your mail more, and use it going forward. I hope you enjoyed this article.

Kind regards

Avoid Being Consistently Inconsistent

Hi fellow reader! I think this is something of great importance and goes hand and hand with persistence; which is being consistent. In life you're going to be one of two things in all areas; Consistently consistent or consistently inconsistent by default.

Not only does consistency ensure the same good result each time but you can also learn to have better results through doing so. Consistently being good at a service let's a customer know what to expect from you time after time. Also this increases the chances of the customer doing business with you going forward.

Consistency even goes deeper than that. This is what will set your business apart from your competitor and create a ripple effect from your customers to tell their friends and associates about your product or business.

When I first met my mentor and saw everything he brought to the table and his unique & consistent teaching method I could hardly wait to tell people about it. Don't forget consistency also leaves room for exceeding what is expected of you. This is what can turn a customer into a follower of your body of work. I hope you enjoyed the read.

Kind Regards

The Art of Persistence

Let's talk about being persistent. Your business simply cannot survive without it, bottom line.  It's absolutely necessary to reach the level or success where your customers know to expect quality from your business every time.

How bad do you want it? Are you really invested in your business? Do you go to sleep at night thinking I can't wait to implement this to my business tomorrow? If these are questions crossing your mind then you're headed in the right direction. For things that you want bad enough you'll find ways to make them happen.

Adversity doesn't mean failure. Failure means giving up. So what the first product you launched didn't sale as well as you anticipated. Go back to the drawing board and figure out what about the product wasn't marketable to your audience and correct it.

Stay self motivated. Remember where you are isn't where you have to be permanently. " You don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to become great." So today you're not getting much traffic, you don't have a large email address, and someone else's business is growing faster. It's about finding what works for you and capitalizing.

Well I hope you enjoyed this article. Tomorrow we'll be talking about being Consistently good at your business.

Merry Christmas to all

Rethinking strategies and moving forward

Hi, Tim here again. As you may recall on my last update I was going through the emotional shock of having my first unsubscriber. Now I'm focusing on trying my best not to have more.

Although it is very important to me not to have unsubscribers it's equally if not more important to me to have an active email list. For instance, it's fantastic to have a large email mailing list but if they never open your emails, they never see your content, therefore you'll never build a relationship with them.

Now if you don't know much about this business I can save you a bunch of time and tell you it's all about relationships.  Relationships as in the people you buy from, the people you team up with, and the people you sale to.

From a buyer's perspective let's say you click a link looking to solve a particular problem and when you get there it's a sales page how likely are you to buy the product right then(not likely). Well other people tend the feel the same way also.

With this been said I'm learning to treat my email list like golden eggs(precious). The problem I'm facing now is making sure my emails are being viewed by the people I'm sending them too.

Now this is tricky because a number of things can cause people not to open your email. It could be anything from your email not standing out, the subject line is not leading enough, or even that your mail is going into the junk/spam folder.

So as soon as I'm done writing this I'm going to do a few tests to see what's the cause. I'm going to use some of their email clients as well as see which email subject lines lead me into opening them. I'll let you know how it works out.

My First Unsubscriber

Hello all you wonderful readers! Today I'm around six months deep into this business but this is my very first blog post(cold feet). Basically I'm going to always try to have all my post be of benefit to the person reading it.

If you're familiar with this business then you may know many successful marketers use list building as a way to have higher conversion rates for sales, promotions, and providing their valuable content to as well. Well after six months (really maybe three months of list building) I finally had my first unsubscriber(heart breaker).

At first, I was thinking my goodness the end is upon us. However, after stepping back and gathering my thoughts I really took a look at what that means. It means that particular user isn't getting what they were expecting from signing up to my list or they've either found a new product or service that better suits their particular needs.

As a marketer this lit a fire under me( in a good way of course). My goal going forward is to really make sure my content is packed with value even more than before. I'm going to really do my research on each topic and see how in demand answers for the specific topics are. Also I encourage every one to write down your problems and when you find the answer to them save them because chances are someone else will also need the answer.

Kind regards
Tim
