So who doesn’t find their inbox practically flooded everyday with some type of email marketing messages of some kind?
You, me and practically anybody you can think of that’s online and has an email account correct? Yea buddy.
But here’s the thing; if you’re attempting to strategically use some type of email marketing follow up strategy, (especially) if you’re a newbie affiliate marketer.
Entrepreneur, please understand going in, that whenever you’re attempting to marketer another vendors quality products and services to your very own opt in email list, you’ve got to follow certain proven online marketing protocols, otherwise you’ll most likely fail.
(And yes, you most definitely need to be constantly building your very own opt in email list!)
Because if you don’t; not only will you not earn any meaningful money long term, but you’ll probably experience a much higher than normal unsubscribe rate and maybe even some spam complaints to boot!

That said; let’s quickly explore five proven ways to make your email marketing efforts dramatically increase your value, in the eyes of your opt in subscribers!

Make Darn Sure Your Email Marketing Strategies Have An Ultimate Purpose!
1.) Proven email marketing tip # one: Entrepreneur (and or) newbie affiliate marketer. If you’re using some type of replicated marketing system that has a pre made lead capture page of some kind and a visitor opts in.
Make sure that your very first follow up email message to them, (along with everything else!) personally introduces “you” and welcomes them to your list! And simply reinforce “why” they joined your list! (This is basically referred to as your initial “Welcome” email message.)
And “do not” attempt to sell them anything in the body copy of your very first email message to them!

Think of it as a very first date! You wouldn’t propose marriage to a complete stranger on your very first date, would you?
Instead, just say hello in a friendly non threatening conversational tone and let them know what they can expect in the next few days and or weeks etc.
In terms of giving them the free educational information they opted in to receive and make you exit! Simple, right?
2.) Proven email marketing tip # two: Next, if you happen to know of a free upcoming webinar, Google hangout and or tele seminar etc, whether it’s live and or pre recorded, and it’s relevant to why they opted into your list.
Send them a special VIP email alert message to make them aware of the dates and times etc. Or if you (or someone else) just posted a relevant blog post.
And just briefly mention “how” and or “why” you strongly feel this particular blank (info) will or can be of help to them and again make your exit quick.

Hi Mark
Those are great tips for every email marketer.
Not building an email list was the biggest mistake I made when starting out – I let someone else maintain my list and they basically stole it.
That was a long time ago. I’ve learned better since.
Joy
Here, here!
I too have been there and done that!LOL! I’ve got a video
where I show “how” I actually generated 6,700 opt ins using a free
autoresponder service, (back when I originally) did this, they would let you build 10,000
subscribers (supposedly) before they started charging you a monthly fee.
Well, wouldn’t you know that not long after I reached 6,700 opt ins, suddenly I could no longer
sign in to my back office!LOL!
In essence, they stole my list!But like you, lesson learned! But hey, truth told I really didn’t care because it was my skill
and creativity that generated those opt ins, not theirs!LOL!
But I know better that to get that involved with and dependent upon free software and other tools, like web 2.0 sites such as hubpages and or squidoo
lens.com etc.
Or even twitter for that matter! Thanks for sharing such a great story! Many times a taught lesson is far more
valuable than a bought one!
