How to manage your email list
You are often instructed to create a list in internet marketing. This is a great idea because it allows you to contact potential customers without having to rely on them finding you again. However, I've spoken to many people who have compiled a list and are now unsure what to do High School Email List.
Be you, or the person that you pretend to be!
This is perhaps the most overlooked aspect of list building.
People often go into corporate mode, speak in third person, or simply stand aside from their list.
Email is a personal medium.
The person who received the email could be the only one you have written to.
Your results will be better if you are closer to this goal.
Instead of using an imaginary voice, write your emails.
If you have adopted an alternate character to your list, you will need to act in that role much like an actor.
Regularly email
Nearly every day, I send emails to most of my mailing lists.
Some people feel that this is too often. If they subscribe, they unsubscribe at that point.
Unsubscribes are a part of the business because you can't please everyone all the time.
You must have something to add to your list.
It is impossible to send an email that looks like "Hi, how's your day?" very often and expect subscribers to be interested.
How often you pitch
There is no magic solution.
Some of the email lists I am on are almost too pitchy.
However, I find a reason to stay on them. I don't know if I could explain why.
Some people don't pitch even though they might. It's simply the way they weave the words into the emails and what product they sell is just a "by-the way".
Some people put what they are selling as a P.S. or in the blog post or article they're pointing at.
It is up to you to choose the right model for yourself.
There is no one-size fits all solution. You'll soon find people who share your style and will start to attract them.
Congruent
This means that everything should fit together and not be jarred at unexpected points.
It all comes down to being yourself and being a good actor.
You can swap personalities if you do so, which can cause problems if you are using the "swipes," that get offered to promote products. The disconnect will be noticed by those on your list who pay attention to what you write.
Congruence is also important for the entire sign-up process.
You can attract people who prefer to receive their information via video by using a video on your squeeze pages.
People will be more likely to download a free report, such as a PDF, if you offer it for no cost.
Although you can switch between the delivery methods, it is better to stick with one. If your list enjoys videos, you might send them shorter emails that link to a video.
Experiment
Try something new every now and again.
Sometimes I will do this, sometimes with an admission in my email that I don’t usually do it.
You don't always know what you are doing until you try.
This is true for your email list just as it is for everything else.
You run the risk losing lots of subscribers if it goes wrong.
