What This Method is about

This method is a step-by-step guide to make money with email marketing.
Where you create an email list and then use that to market.

Basically what you are doing is buying solo ads, sending people to a squeeze page and getting them to opt-in to your auto responder, where you can send them cool products.

It might sound complicated, but keep reading and it will get cleared up a bit. First I will just give some definitions

 

Definitions

Squeeze page: This is a webpage that’s entirely dedicated to capturing a visitors e-mail address. This is what allows direct response marketers to build a list on the Internet, develop a relationship with that list  and then sell products and services to the prospects on that list.
The contact obtained is called “lead” or “prospect” and it’s a person interested in your offer, not a cold contact like with telemarketing.

 

Auto Responder – Automated programs which are established to return a prewritten message upon receipt of e-mail. Program will grab the return address from the header of the message. Typically, these programs will send out the canned message within seconds of receipt. Sending them a sharp communication with pertinent content may surprise you in efficiency, this content needs to be laser focused in the niche of your choosing as people are a becoming aware of auto responder tactics.
There are lots of them, and the most advanced one nowadays implement automations: they allow you to set different emails according to the actions of the prospect (open/not open/click, etc).
The best one in my opinion is ActiveCampaign:.

 

 

Automations

 

SLO – Self-Liquidating offer. Pretty much means however much you spend on solo ads, you will have this offer on the other end, making almost all if not more of your money back (usually more, but we’ll get into this later).
It’s generally put on the Thank You Page: the typ offer usually comes after the prospect opted in.

 

Conversions – People who Opt-in to your email list. Basically the higher the conversion rate, the better your squeeze page is and the more sales that you make. You want to have a high converting squeeze page.

 

So now that you know the basic terminology, we can get started. I will try to be as thorough as possibly.

 

The Method 

You want to build the biggest list possible.
On average, per month, for every subscribers on your list you would make $1.

If you have 100,000 people on your list, and you send out an email promoting a product where you make $50 per sale and only 2% bought it, you would make $100,000. From sending 1 email.

Now obviously this is rare, but if you send emails every day, you can easily make $40,000 a month from this method alone.

 

 

Now to the prices of solo ads. You can buy a click for about $0.35 on average, so say you have 25$ to start. You can buy about 71 clicks. From those 71 clicks, 28 Opt-in.

They are then sent to your SLO and 2 people buy it. You will make all of your money back and more. That’s an average 28$ a month just from 1 ad, and you have your money back from the SLO.

Now lets say you buy some every week adding 25$ each time, but including the money you previously made. The next week, you send out 142 ads. 56 Opt-in, and 3 sales. You made the money back plus 58 subscribers. Now you are making around 80$-90$/month.

Within just 3 months, you would have about 2,500 people, and thus around 2500$/month. At 6 months, 10,000 opt-ins, 10k a month, and at just 1 year, 40k people and 40k a month. Just remember we are talking about average statistics. So could be more and some could be less; nothing is guaranteed, but it is likely you will have similar results.

Some people say the money is in the list, but really the money is in your relationship with the list, so be as nice as possible and build a character that is easy to relate to. Now lets get down to business.

 

Step 1 : You want to find a good product to promote. Since this doesn’t require SEO (Unless you want to get more Opt-ins by using this method with SEO ;)…) You should choose one with a high gravity. I go to CBengine to find products. Find one with a high gravity and go check it out. If it looks nice and professional, choose it. I recommend going on YouTube and looking for a review and what you will learn when someone buys this. Write down/type a few key points. You will need this for step 2.

 

Step 2 : Time to make a squeeze page. I use LeadPages: high-converting squeeze pages. It basically makes it look nice. What you want to do here is either make a video explaining what you get and why you should buy this product, or you can just put bullet points (it automatically makes the bullets into green check marks which will increase conversions.) Then you will need an auto responder to make a opt-in form. I will talk about this in the next step.

 

Step 3 : Now you need an auto responder. The best one out there is .
Everything with it is the best, including customer service. It is 9$ for the first 500 contacts, but if you want a free one for the first month, go with GetResponse. I highly recommend going with  though, because it is hard to transfer your list later. You want to set up your web form (with the thank you page being the offer you are promoting) and get the html code from it. Then paste the web form html code in the squeeze page (there is a box in the setup that requires this, you can’t miss it).

With Leadpages you have the integration of ActiveCampaign automatically

I won’t go to much in depth on this because you can look it up on YouTube. You need to set up your follow up messages too. You can see how to do this on YouTube, its VERY hard to explain without a video, so try to find one there. You should have about 14 emails ready to send out through out the next month. After that month, you will have a very good relationship with your list.

You can now send out broadcasts and products that you are promoting. Soft sell them. Also, always cloak your links. you can look up how to do this on YouTube.

 

NOTE: I can’t stress how important it is that you test all of this, With respect to making sure they are being send through your affiliate link and everything. You don’t want to be sending 1000 clicks through the offer and not your affiliate link. Once that is done, you want to start sending traffic, which brings us to step 4.

 

Step 4 : There are a lot of solo ad providers. I only go with ones that have good reviews. You usually can find this with Reed Floren’s reviews (soloaddirectory.com).
Or you can choose You can read more about solo ads there. You can usually get about 100 clicks for 40$. Remember, this is HIGH quality traffic. I just recommend staying away from Bilaal Hussain, he doesn’t deliver as promised. Everyone else seems good though. Some you will need to write a swipe for, other will do it for you. A swipe is just an email for the advertiser to send to his/her list. Just write something that you think will convert well… Mini pre-selling sort of. Just make sure to start small, with the lowest offer they have, and if it works for you, then move up to the bigger ones.

 

 

Step 5 : Make sure you are consistent. Always check to see how many opt-ins you have and how many sales, and always cloak and track your links. Build a good relationship with your list and you will be successful.

I hope that this helped some of you out.
