One reason that most online marketers failed their online marketing projects is not able to get enough of website visitors! That is so true. Imagine for a moment that you have a great product. You ask a talented graphic designer to set you a great website, and also you heard how blogging can help to attract traffic. Therefore you hire a good content writer to write you great blog posts. However, you waited and waited but there are no sales, not a single one and you asked yourself, what’s wrong? Does this story sound familiar?
A great product doesn’t immediate turn itself into cash cow, you also need to promote it. In the online marketing world, the usual methods are through search engine marketing, (that includes SEO and PPC), social network marketing such as Facebook and Myspace, email marketing, buyers banners ads etc. But the most effective and affordable ways to give you lots of visitors in shortest period of time perhaps is email marketing. .
When talking about email marketing, you first need a list of database before you can send your offer. As every one has to start with nothing at the beginning so how you can get lots of email contacts? Here are some tips that you can follow:
1.) Buy a list from vendors
2.) Co-registration
3.) Purchase an Ezine Ads.
4.) Learn how to get an email list yourself.
Method #1: Buy a List From Vendors
Well yes, for this method, you will get a list but how quality is that? My opinion, don’t waste your money. They are very low quality because most likely the leads are extracted from for example, newspaper sign ups.
Certainly there are some newspaper readers may interest your products eventually but there are better ways to get you a list that show a more interest to what you offer than a newspaper list.
Method #2: Co-registration
Sometimes when you sign up a free service such as a free web hosting, or a web tool, they will ask you if you would like receive some information from their partners? That information is what we called co-registration. The partner pay for a fee to the site owner to have an option that allows their site visitors to optin to the partners email list. This method work better than the first one but you may also receive a higher chance of unsubscribe since the subscriber may not know in the first place they have sign up for others people’s email list other than the original site owners. So to me, I’d rather learn the right method of building my own.
Method #3: Buy an Ezine Ad
This method work similar to the Method 1 but instead you buy a list of email subscribers, you ask the vendor to send the offer for you once usually. This method probably the best among all the paid methods since the company offers this service normally gives you the detail of what their demographics will be such as income, and age group and also what kind of offers their members are most interested in. Often the vendor will also give you a detail report on how many clicks that your offer successfully receive.
Method #4: Build Your Own
This method is what I want to focus on. Tomorrow, I will write you some the step by step method on how you can get an email yourself even you have a small budget, so stay tune!
