How To Get Back To Basics - Email Marketing 101

By Jonas Varig


One of the easiest ways to make money online is to market directly to the prospects who have signed up to get your emails, a fact you are likely aware of. This sort of direct selling via email is called Email Marketing.

This method is one that all successful internet marketers employ at one point or another, if not all the time. Take a moment and read through an IM forum and you'll find a ton of posts on email marketing and how important it is. These messages are usually about the newest and most impressive super-secret tactic to earn money. If you really want to implement this strategy to make some nice cash, then you are going to have to strip back the fat and stick to the essentials.

The time of day has no bearing, when sending emails. The truth is that if your email is well written, you can send it at any time of day and it is likely going to get read. Some people are adamant that your email blasts should be dispersed within very specific time frames. Take this into consideration: if there really was a time that is better than others, wouldn't we all be sending emails at that time? And next, if they were all sent at the same moment, wouldn't your email go astray from the others? Disperse your emails when called for. The message is more important than any particular day or time.

Don't over mail to your list. There are some who insist that you need to send out multiple emails a week. Every two or three days, you need to send out an article to your subscribers for them to read. This is not always good advice. You know your list. The promotions you have sent - you should remember them all. This is your personal audience and list. Cater to their wants and needs. If your list is composed primarily of busy professionals, you don't want to bombard them with emails all the time.

When your sales start to slow or your list numbers drop, it's easy to jump in and start working overtime to try and fix things. Usually all this does is turn people off. The only way to fix the problem is to make sure you go back to basics. There's a good cause for which you have a strong foundation, isn't there? You'll be surprised at how quickly you can recover once you concentrate on applying what worked for you in the beginning.
