Hi Josh, just seen this post and I found it very informative and very relevant. I find it really cool how you send out at least two emails with free info before you try to sell.

I love reading not only the info you post, but your comments are also little bits of gold as well. I’m new to all of this, can someone build a list after buying your report?? I think I’m all in for this one.

Thanks so much
Dawn

Exactly….a list is not always going to be there for you…it seems that some marketers forget that people can unsubscribe or simply just trash your email the minute it comes in. The real money is in the relationship you have with your list.

I find your comments in this post to be very interesting – not just from a helpful point of view, but from the honesty and guts that it must have taken to make such a post to your subscribers – telling them your strategies to sell to them.

I appreciate the honesty in this post. It is the same strategy that I would use with my own list. It is also because of this strategy that I am still a follower of yours – I have unsubscribed from most other ‘gurus’, because I am tired of being the receiver of selling emails, aimed to see how much they can make from me, rather than offering to help me.

Keep up the great work and the ongoing honesty and integrity that is building your business. This is an inspiration to me.

Kind regards,

Barry

I’m concentrating on helping my list right now, and it’s a great feeling.

In fact, I don’t even count how many JVs I refused because I try to take care of my subscribers who trust me.

@ Honey – Thanks for the addon there… good advice.

@ Karyn – If it’s a little, mini-site made for adsense it’ll be hard to build a relationship, but if you’re trying to build an authoritative site building relationships is key!!! You’d be surprised how powerful it is

@ Honey … thank you, that’s a good idea. I’ve been so focused on getting potential buyers to click through my site and make a purchase that I really haven’t looked at building relationships. At the very least, I’ll start experimenting with list-building in the near future.

@Karen,

Not to butt in, but to offer a suggestion. With almost any niche, sometimes you have to think outside the box.

While cell phone buyers might not be interested in buying another cell phone for quite some time, how about other things associated with cell phones?

Just thinking off the top of my head here, but you could find and offer deals on, hands-free equipment, cell phone cases, ring-tones, reverse number look-up ebooks, (on Clickbank and they’re hot!) just to name a few. There are probably others you can come up with that I’d never think of, simply because you’re more familiar with the industry.

Whenever you sell something, ask yourself, what else would a person who bought this be interested in?

Hope that helps!

Honey

@ Mark – I know what you mean lol Alot of good “backwards advice” out there.

I NEVER run out of products to promote. I have people asking me to promote their product everyday and have to turn down 99% of them.

If I don’t have a new product of my own to promote I just find one I like on an interesting subject and promote it. If I don’t like it I don’t promote it.

@ Juhani – Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I don’t get most of my sales through my reports, I get most of my subscriptions (leads) through my reports.

@ Brian – Thanks, glad you enjoyed it…the initial versions did very well, but AMD 2008 is jumping to an excellent start!

Very well said and I appreciate your kind words!

@ Barb – You’ll get there, believe me! I remember when I would be glad to get 50 daily visitors, now I get thousands. I remember when I would be glad to have 50 subscribers, now I have nearly 7,000. Glad you’ve enjoyed the emails, just keep on keepin on and you’ll get there

@ Dennis – Good advice, thanks for that

@ Karyn – This type of effective email marketing campaign can be carried out with any niche. I just use the IM niche as an example because it is the primary niche I target.
