As you know, I'm a big fan of Aweber. I've been using them for my email marketing for at least 10 years now, and I love them.
One of the biggest mistakes I made early on in my internet marketing career (really it was affiliate marketing) is that I didn't start out building a list of subscribers.
I think it took me 4 years to figure out that "the money is in the list."
Damn, I'm stupid. Don't be like me.
Please, I beg you, in all of your internet marketing endeavors, PLEASE create a subscriber list and mail to them at least once a week.
Don't worry, most won't mind.
And do it even if you're just "affiliate marketing."
Heck, that's probably the BEST time to do it. Here's why:
If you just send your traffic to an offer page, you will NEVER know anything about your audience. You won't have their name, number, or email address. Heck, you may not even know if they buy.
At least when you sell your own product, there is a good chance you got at least a name and email address. And you KNOW exactly who bought from you.
Anyway, why did *I* hesitate so long before I took up "email marketing?"
Fear.
Yep. Fear. I was afraid to learn something new. I was afraid I was going to fuck it up.
I was afraid people would get mad at me if I "emailed them too much."
Don't worry - people who believe that can unsubscribe.
I don't recommend spamming anybody. But if you offer good, solid, sound information in your emails with a little promo thrown in, you're good.
Hey, it's what a marketer or salesman (or woman) is supposed to do: SELL.
Duh.
Anyway, I stumbled across this training for Aweber last night and bought it. I also bought the PLR rights to it, so I can sell it as my own.
I should probably sell it for $50 or more. But I've got it up here for $20:
