One Email Marketing Tactic Learned, More Money Earned

Here’s another lesson learned or insight discovered.  Maybe this should be added on to my last post, but it seems easier to just make it a new post.

Here it is:

It’s okay to send a reminder to my list.

In fact, it’s a great idea.

One reminder is not bugging them, it’s reminding them, and it’s helpful.

I make more sales of my product with the reminder email than I do with the initial email.

That’s it.  Not earth-shattering or anything, just the next level of marketing awareness for me.

Okay, this is not a new concept, but one I was afraid to try because I didn’t want to come across as pushy and annoy people.  But then I saw behind the scenes how well it worked when an affiliate who was promoting one of my products sent a second email about the product to his list.  He didn’t even use a scarcity tactic… just a friendly reminder.  He made quite a few sales the first time around, but really took it to the bank with the second email.

I may be a little thickheaded sometimes, but I got it!

So I tried it and it worked great for me too.

Do you send a reminder to your list? How is it working for you?

New- Blogging 101 eCourse

I’ve finally finished up a project that I’ve been working on and wanted to let you know about it.  It’s called Blogging 101 eCourse (got a theme going here, don’t I?)  and you can get it here for free.  There’s also a link to it over in the right column, and also on my main webpage.  Did I leave out any spots to put it? 

Blogging 101 is mostly for people who are just starting out with blogs.  I’ve also included a free PDF called 31 Blogging Ideas at the end of Part 1 of the eCourse.  So even if you’ve been blogging a while, go ahead and sign up to get the PDF with Part 1. 

I’ve got 2 more things in the works but before I can work on them, I have to work on my taxes.  Sigh…

Well, at least I’m taking tomorrow off to go skiing.  I didn’t chose to live at the foot of the Rocky Mountains for nothing!

Lead Supreme

I just signed up for Lead Supreme’s trial contest to learn how to build my list fast.  I can’t figure out who ends up with the leads - me or them.  I want to go after the $10,000 prize for the most leads generated in the 10 days (10/13 to 10/23) but the timing is not good.  My kids are off school for fall break for the week.  Oh well, we’ll see just how good I am at multi-tasking and organization.  :) 

However it turns out, I think it will be $20 well spent for all that I’m going to learn.
