Opt-in E-Mailers #4 Posting Method
Using E-mail
Instant Results - Minutes after sending out your e-mail campaign you can start seeing responses and orders. Low cost - No printing, no postage, no mail house charges. E-mail is nearly free to send out!
Testing on the go - How fast do you want to see results? Instead of waiting weeks for responses and test results - you'll have them in hours. Now, you can make smarter decisions sooner.
High response rates - It's not unusual for opt-in e-mail campaigns to get 5%, 10%, 15%, even 50% response rates something that's almost unheard of in direct mail.
The Truth about "Opt-in" and "Permission" E-mail Marketing
If you've been on the Net for any length of time. I am sure you've heard of spam. That's the name for unsolicited commercial e-mail, mostly the "get rich quick" and "send me a dollar" pyramid schemes that find their way into your inbox. Many short-term minded marketers feel that since e-mail is practically free they can send out thousands and thousands of e-mails hoping for a handful of sales while dealing with the risks involved. I don't think that's a good idea.
"Opt-In" Direct E-mail is the practice sending commercial e-mail to recipients that HAVE approved receiving commercial e-mail. These opt-in lists are targeted e-mail lists that offer marketers a "politically correct" way to reach their target audience on the net. Not only will your offer be sent to a targeted list, you won't have to worry about any problems because all recipients have "opted in" to receive offers like yours.
E-Mail format
An e-mail is formatted in two places, the "Subject", and the "Message". The subject is the first thing the e-mail reader will see, and this is what will determine whether they will open the e-mail or delete it. The message is where you will give the reader the description of what the company you are promoting is offering.
The important "subject line"
The subject line is what will make of break an e-mail campaign, if your e-mail gets read, you are one step closer to clsong the deal.
Savvy Internet marketers know that they must apply timeless direct-marketing principles, strategy and tactics to their Internet marketing in order to be effective. Here's how profitable direct marketing applies to e-mail marketing on the internet.
1) Think of your e-mail "Subject" line as the teaser copy on the envelope of a direct-mail piece. Envelope teaser copy has one over-riding purpose to get the envelope opened! And the purpose to get the envelope opened! And the purpose of your e-mail "Subject" line is to get the e-mail opened!
2) Think of the e-mail "Subject" line as the headline on a sales letter. The purpose of the headline is to make the prospect read the letter. And the purpose of the "Subject" line of your e-mail is to get the prospect to open the e-mail and read it! Simply apply the principles of writing good teaser copy and headlines to the art and science of writing good e-mail "Subject" lines.
REMEMBER - Always add your affiliate link code (Promotion link/hoplink) in the body of your e-mail description a few lines after your main message.
Email Tips
When writing your e-mail copy throw everything you learned in English tClass.
1. Personalize
There's nothing better for a person than to see their name. Use personalization in the subject line and inside the body of the e-mail (but don't overdo it so it looks hokey).
2. Write just like you talk
Use plain, easy to understand English. Nobody cares if you can use "xenophobia" and "ostentatious" in a sentence. Write almost like you're talking to a buddy over a beer. So that means use contractions. Be friendly and personable in your writing.
3. Put passion into your e-mail
Since you won't have the luxury of seeing your prospect eye- to-eye to gauge their
reactions you need to put extra passion into your message. Even if you think you are overdoing it when you write, your letter will end understated when it gets read. Get enthusiastic!
4. Write to one
Try to think of the ideal prospect as you are writing and make the message just for them. Even if your web site will be read by thousands of people each day every person will read it one at a time. Use "you" and "your" liberally. Focus on them, not yourself.
5. Keep your sentences and paragraphs short
Keep your sentences and paragraphs short and simple. Period. Paragraphs should be no more than 4 or S lines. You want your e-mail to look easy to read with a lot of white space. Make it inviting. Long blocks of words are scary. Paragraph breaks do not need to be determined by content.
6. Use plenty of compelling subheads
Subheads should be like mini-headlines. Use them to break up large bodies of text and to bring people back into the body of the letter.
A lot of people will scan your e-mail so you need to make your subheads give a complete selling.
7. Eliminate excess wording
Simplify. Convey your message in a clear and concise manner but remember that doesn't necessarily mean keep it short. You need to ruthlessly edit your e-mail for flow.
8. Use action verbs whenever possible
If you see too many "as," "is," "was," or "were," replace them. Sentences using action verbs are more powerful.
When writing your e-mail you want it clear enough so any 6th grader could understand it. Now you probably think your prospects are a lot smarter than 6th graders but nobody has time anymore to sit down and figure out what you're trying to say -- so keep your writing simple and straightforward.
In my next articoles I am going to show you how they work.

Posting to Classifieds #3 Method
next four methods will focus on what is called "Web Announcements" which are designed to focus on getting more instant results by letting people know about the company and products you are promoting. One great method I have learned is posting to classifieds, which will give you the option to upgrade to a paid account that will allow you to post more frequently as well as some other options, but this is completely up to you to do so. There are two types of free classified sites we will teach you; "Required Sign-up, and "NO Sign-Up needed."
Required sign-up classified ad sites
The required sign-up classified ad sites are a good option if you decide to post a lot of classified ads to a particular site. The reason is that once you sign up for your FREE account the first time, it is simple to log-in to your account and post your ads. Because there is a sign-up
this does not mean there is any fees, these are 100% free to post your ads to.
NO sign-up needed
The NO sign-up classified are nice in one regard; you do not have to sign up for an account, however, the problem with the no sign up sites is that you will have to enter your Name, Address, Phone Number, etc. every time you want to post an ad. If you only post on occasions than this may be a good option. These will always be 100% free to use.
How To Use FREE Classifieds
I will give you a tutorial on the two main types of classified ad sites (required sign-up, and NO sign-up classified ad sites). Before I do that I think you should know the general guidelines on how to use the classified ad sites.
1) Many free classifieds will have you sign up for a free account to post; you will need to present them with your information as they request. Use a 2nd e-mail account for signing-up as well.
2) To post your classified ad, you will need to select a category that will best fit the companies product you are promoting; for example, if you are promoting a site that offers animal services, then find a category like "Pets" and post your animal service ad with your affiliate promotion link/ hoplink for your affiliate companies that pertain to animal services. If you cannot find a suitable category, then you can choose "Other," "Mist," or "Services Offered," as an alternative.
3) Some classified sites will have you select a price; so you will need to put the price that the company you are promoting is charging for the product or service. If you do not know the price, go the Web site of the company you are promoting and find the price. If you do not see the price on web page, then click as if you were going to order the product or service so you can get the price at check out before committing to purchase.
4) Now some of these classifieds may want you to select a location. You should try to select the broadest range possible, such as Global, World or Nation. If you have to be more specific then you have the choice to select a smaller location that will have less competition, but also less people searching your ads, or you can select larger location like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles etc., that will have more people searching your ads but, more competition. We suggest to mix it up a little.
5) You will also need to put a contact for the ad you place. This can be done by using your email address. If you ever have to put your Name, Address, or phone number, that will never be displayed in your ad as it is only for you administration account with classified ad company. If you get contact in regards to the ad you placed you will direct the prospective buyer(s) to the web site through your affiliate promotion link/hoplink.
6) When posting your ads, DON"T FORGET TO PLACE YOUR AFFILIATE PROMOTION LINK/ HOPLINK IN THE BODY OF THE DESCRIPTION.
In one of my next articles I will show you more details and basic Craiglist tips to ensure your succes.
Ad Directories #2 Method
I will show you how to use this posting method.You can try a software(which will be more efficient and less time consuming) or you can do it your self manually.
Manual Ad Directory Submitter
These are Web-based sites to post to, so you do not need to download anything.

URL Submitters #1 Method
Take a close look as the links that show up when you search, notice that they are odd looking, more like codes than an actual Web site address( I will tell you later how to clock them and make them look more appealing). These are affiliate links, and are there to stay. Imagine the residual income that these affiliate marketers are earning without doing another thing to promote these sites. It will take a little time to get on the first pages of the search engines, but if you follow my instructions you will get there.
I recomend you use URL SUBMITTERS you find on the internet.Just type in a search engine "free url submitter" and you will find them.
You will only need to submit each link once every 30 days or longer(but submit them with more url submitters). This means you can submit a lot of company links as you would like, just do not repeat the same exact link within 30 days of original submission date.(on the same url submition website)

Posting with Free Tools
What you are going to accomplish by posting to the free promoting tools is
2.) Getting your promotion/hoplink placed into search engines by natural indexing:
3.) Helping the search indexing by creating what is called back-links to your promotion/hoplink:
4.) Announcing your promotion/hoplink by typing data submissions in articles, and e-mailings. 5.) Placing your promotion/hoplink on to Web pages like classifieds, Craigslist and Squidoo.
The objective is not so much to promote the company you choose, but to promote your link to the company. Here is where many affiliate marketing programs fail by only focusing on the promotion of the company itself by just typing ads, and not your links which is what will generate your income once indexed on the search engines for the long term. These methods are currently be used by Internet marketers to successfully create a residual income. Typing ads will work as well for the short term, but we also must focus on the long term as well. That is what we are going to have you do by using these methods we show you. Do note that many of these methods will create income for the short term as well, and many times in as little as a day or two after posting.
I am going to give you detailed instructions on how to use all of the following tools. If you follow the directions we provide, these will be very simple processes to complete. Many of the methods I use are done using automated posting software that will save you hours from the old conventional methods that were used in the past.
FREE POSTING METHODS
Posting Method #1 - Search Engine Submitters
Posting Method #2 - Ad Directories
Posting Method #3 - Posting to Classifieds
Posting Method #4 - Opt-in E-mailers
I will expose these posting methodes in my next articles.Stay tuned...
Where to promote the companies that will pay you
Posting to FREE promotion Tools
free posting tools, then you can choose another company and post them down the line of free tools. You will keep repeating this as often as you wish. After each month, you can start over with the first company you posted, and so-on and so-on. You do not want to post the same company more than once a month to the free tools we list, but with all the companies that are available this should not be a problem.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Free Promotion tools
Posting to the paid methods
The paid methods will work a little differently. You will use sources that let you place online submissions by a method called Pay Per Click (PPC). What this means is that you only pay when your promotion is clicked on by a potential buyer, and you are never charged unless your promotion is clicked. The biggest advantage of PPC is that you are drawing what is called "Targeted" traffic to your promotion. This simply means that you are getting people looking for what you are promoting, and they are searching for the products you are providing through your promotion links. That is why this type of marketing is the best on the Internet and has made a lot of people rich. My advices will assure that you will have the advantage over other people using these same promotional methods.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the paid promoting tools
The biggest advantage to using the paid tools is getting targeted buyers to whatever company you are promoting. This can not only start producing earnings within the same day of using them, but can produce a lot of earnings almost instantly. The disadvantage of using the paid promotion tools is again the obvious, they do cost money. Costing money is one thing, but losing money is another and I are going to show you how to use these PPC effectively so you will not lose money. The search engine sites I will recomnd you on have costs per clicks as low as
1c, with an average of about 65c per click(but that is another story). I will show you what a few cents can make you in return in the paid promotion methods.
Get Prepared to Promote Your Companies
Get a second e-mail account(trust me you will need one)
Research the company you are going to promote
After you have selected any of the thousands of companies from PayDotCom, you are going to want to do a little research on the particular company you have chosen. Start by visiting the company's Web site and take note of some key selling points the company is making to its buyers. Act as if you are the buyer; look for features that would catch your eye about the company's product. For example, if you are promoting a certain company and they offer free shipping on all their products, make a note of that; or note if they are offering a special 10% off certain items, if they offer a money-back guarantee, or have special bonuses. Once you have a good idea of what the Web site is offering, along with their special selling points, this will make it easy to create your titles and descriptions when it is asked for by the promotion tools.
Have your promotion link ready
When you decide on the company you are going to promote, you will need to copy your special promotion link. The easiest way save your links is to copy and paste them into a document file on your computer. This way, whenever you are asked for the Web site URL, you can copy and paste it from document file directly into the posting tool.
