“The money is in the list”ask any successful internet marketer and they will tell you exactly that.
By list, they are talking about their affiliate email marketing mailing list, which is made up of people who have opted in to receive emails from that same marketer.
It may seem obvious to those who have been online for any period of time, but there are many websites who do not have a automatic responder system and they don’t have any way of collecting visitors email addresses on their website.
What this means is that they are truly missing out on earning a lot more income, for a very small extra effort.
You may have heard the terms “cold list” and “warm list”. A cold list is a list of subscribers who haven’t been contacted in a long time, so their response to any emails would be low.
On the other side a warm list is when the list owner has been regularly contacting their list members and interacting with them, offering them a very good reason to stay subscribed to their list.
Having a warm list is very imperative, not only does it mean that any of your offer or call to actions you send out will be given a better response, but it also means that your conversion rates will be much higher.
The number of people who actually buys or takes action, divided by the total number of subscribers you send the email to is your conversion rate.
After you’ve had your list for some time you should begin to understand and know what your conversion rate is for the different mailings.
Knowing this information will tell you how profitable each new subscriber will be to you, as well as existing subscribers.
For this very reason building a mailing list is important, once you know and understand what your conversion rate is, you can almost guarantee how much money you will make each and every time you send out a sales email.
To keep a list warm there are some things you should do in your automatic responder message namely build trust with your list.
Be sure to let your list know a bit about yourself, be approachable and send quality, non-sales information regularly and only sprinkle in sales emails and affiliate offers occasionally.
Never promote junk offers just to make a few bucks, be honest and trustworthy about the offers that you send out in your automatic responder message
Think long term profits from your affiliate email marketing list rather than quick profits that could ruin your long term future.
There is little doubt that affiliate email marketing, will increase your traffic and your sales so take a little time to understand how to do it properly and your rewards will be great!
