Opt-In Email Lists Archives

 Have you ever been faced with the task of having to write an email promotion to your list, and then realized that you didn’t know what to say or how to say it?

Michael Rasmussen’s new video course "Email Promos Exposed" promises to solve that problem for you by walking you through the actual process of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

I decided to see if Michael’s videos live up to their promise by trying them out myself. Here’s what I found:

 

*************************************************
Overall Quality
*************************************************

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the first video was the stunning production quality. He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which is now the industry standard for creating high-quality screen capture video products. The audio is near studio quality, and the graphics are very professional. These videos were made by someone who KNOWS what he’s doing. Well done!

I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by  section, and then again by sub-section. For example, one video is all about the subject line, and then there are different parts of that video that each cover a certain area of crafting a killer subject line.

Now let’s move onto…

 

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously it’s impossible to list every single thing here, but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

VIDEO 1 – INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the whole course. You get to see a picture of Michael in his every day life, and he establishes his credibility right up front by talking about some of his massive successes online. He even provides proof of credibility by displaying two checks in the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove that, when it comes to the subject of making money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever you’re teaching people how to do something, it’s good to establish your credibility up front, so that there’s no doubt about whether or not you’re qualified to talk about the subject. Most product developers either skip or minimize this step.

 

VIDEO 2 – BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other marketer has bothered to mention. You’ll learn things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer promo

* The different tools you need before you get started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of kicking things off.

 

VIDEO 3 – THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing email promos… the subject line. The subject line is a confusing topic, because nobody’s 100% sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this video, but now I know better.

 

VIDEO 4 – THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when writing their emails. Michael talks about how important it is to create an opening that is conversational, and then reveals techniques and examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email once they’ve opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few paragraphs.

 

VIDEO 5 – THE BODY COPY

This is one of the "meatiest" portions of the course, because it reveals techniques that are not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in most eBooks. He talks about the importance of keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and then reveals how you can do that. You’ll also learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people curious and want to find out more.

* Simple formatting tricks for making your body copy easy to read.

* The secret of "bucket brigade copy" and how to use it in your email promos to force people to keep reading.

 

VIDEO 6 – THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their email promos. They start out strong, but when it comes time to ask the reader to click the link and take action, they don’t know what to say.


Michael talks about some of his favorite techniques for making that happen, and also reveals:

* The "magic question" to ask yourself that will make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the "unanswered question" and why handling this is a surefire way to get people to act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

 

VIDEO 7 – CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most important parts of the email, because it is often the one thing that gets people to click the link at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should be including a P.S. at the end of your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.’s you can use (this section was a real eye-opener for me).

 

VIDEO 8 – COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some mistakes that I was making that I wasn’t even aware of. Unless you’re a seasoned pro, you’re probably guilty of some of the things that Michael talks about in this video as well, and that’s why it’s so valuable. I’ve shaved years off my learning curve, because now I can avoid some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to make in the learning process.

 

VIDEO 9 – HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of money. Why? Because I used to only send out one email promo for each affiliate promotion I was doing. Michael showed me in this video how important it is to send a follow-up promotion, and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo’s.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make the most money.

* How to overcome readers’ objections in your follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

 

VIDEO 10 – HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL money is on the back end. I’d have to agree with them, but the problem is… most people have no idea how to set up a back end system that makes money. This video will teach you how to set up an automated back end that’s loaded with killer promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.


He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back end email promos.

 

VIDEO 11 – CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the entire package for a lot of people, because most people email their list to promote other people’s products as an affiliate. Let’s face it, if you only have 3 products, can you really afford to only email your list 3 times a year? They’ll get bored hearing about the same old products over and over again. This video sheds some light on how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different than regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret could cost you big money).

* Michael’s favorite tactics for creating affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your affiliate promos (this is the most important section of the video, so make sure you watch it over and over again).

 

*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there offer only watered down, weak content. Not this one! These videos are going on my "A-list" for a long time.

I’ve already watched them twice, and plan on reviewing them every couple months to make sure that I have the principals, techniques and tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your business (and in my opinion, it’s the most important part of ANY online business), then you owe it to yourself to check out Michael’s exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

Hi everyone,

It’s not often that I am asked to review products online, usually I just get ofers to promote the "next big thing", but today this post is very unique.

I have been asked by Ray Johnson to review his brand new course, entitled "Adswap Masterclass", so I’ll try to give you my most open and honest opinions below.

Adswap Masterclass by is a complete step-by-step VIDEO training course that teaches you how to set up a mammoth sized and more importantly PROFITABLE subscriber list in record time.

(To the tune of 10,000 subscribers in UNDER 10 weeks!)

===> http://AdswapMasterClass.com

Basically, the course is web based and is made up of 10 training modules plus an array of extra good FREE stuff, like a 36 page FREE eBook in which, most of the teaching is done by Ray himself. The teaching is SO easy! Like you were back in high school or college, which I could REALLY relate to and enjoyed.

Soon afterwards, Ray, follows up what he teaches you with step by step screen capture videos so you can learn how to actually APPLY what you’ve learned from the eBook.

The modules cover everything from the very basics of:

What an Adswap is…
How an Adswap works…
How to approach marketers for an Adswap…
How to build an Adswap database to CATAPULT the size and profits from your list…
Adswap instroductions to build your "network"
…and pretty much everything you need to know in order to have a EXTREMELY profitable list built on FREE Adwaps…

Once you’ve grasped the basics in the eBook, the video series moves on to help you IMPLEMENT all the processes step by step, and is very detailed! There’s way too much to mention here.

I’m so glad this wasn’t some out dated course where the links don’t even work anymore. This is really cutting edge stuff, and Ray makes it possible FOR ANYONE to build a monster list FAST, while making more money than you can handle.

But aside from all the fresh stuff, I think my favorite part is just KNOWING that I’ll succeed online now.

All I have to do is follow Ray’s easy advice.

It’s called "Adswap Masterclass", because it really IS a masterclass in growing a HUGE list, whilst profiting FAST:

===> Without spending a dime
===> Without travelling ther globe to seminars
===> Without getting frustrated from JV rejection

In all honesty, "Adswap Masterclass" gets a thumbs up from me and I hope it’s still free when you read this so you can run over and snatch up a copy for yourself, you’d seriously be mad to miss it.

CLICK BELOW TO CHECK IT OUT NOW

To YOUR Success as always, and thanks for reading.

I thought I'd mention a few important notes about JV Giveaways since I've been pushing them quite a bit this last week. Be sure you read the post below or HERE so that you can get a full understanding of what's going on. I have been getting some questions regarding when you should get in to the JV Giveaways and when you should upgrade so you can build your opt-in email list extremely quickly and start making money and building your business right upfront.

First of all, these things go on all the time. There is no shortage of opportunity here, but you have to get in EARLY. Go sign up for my newsletter real quick, and I will keep you informed of when they are coming up and getting ready to accept contributors. You can also sign up in that form to the right toward the top of the blog.

Continued under this FREE offer
Making Money Online Was Never So EASY!

 

With regard to when you should join the programs, it's a simple concept. The answer is: "AS EARLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!!" This may seem like a daunting task since it's so hard to know when the new ones are coming out. And once you find out, you've got to MOVE or end up on the back pages. The reason that I suggest that you subscribe to my newsletter (besides being subscribed to my newsletter) is that I am subscribed to JV Giveaway announcement services and blast out the latest to all my readers the minute I find out. I've been able to get the word out before even 5 gifts have been added to some of these. Talk about an early in!! That's how the timing is done. Check below the next resource, and I'll talk about upgrading.

Alright, now to address the question of upgrades. To begin with, many of these JV Giveaways only allow you to upgrade as an OTO when you first sign up, so be sure to at least glance over the OTO they throw at you, as they will throw something at you, whatever it might be. The only way to answer the "when should I upgrade?" question is this. There are three criteria that help you to judge:

1.) How much does it cost, and does it fit into your budget? It usually does fit since these upgrades are generally between $10 and $27. The real question there is if you have a budget at all. If you can afford to, I recommend that you upgrade everywhere you can since it means you can add more gifts, get more exposure, and really impact your ability to gain more subscribers than anyone else- as long as it makes sense, which brings me to

2.) How good is the value? Is it a $27 upgrade with no downsell on an event that only lasts for 5 days? Sounds a bit expensive and unreasonable, but if there are many hundreds of gifts in page after page where you would be completely lost in the pile, even a $47 upgrade might make sense if you can add enough gifts, like 5 or 6. This one's a judgment call. The People's Choice and Only JV giveaways are perfect candidates. Not only do you get to add multiple gifts and OTOs, they run for very long periods of time, and the upgrades are for life. You would be foolish to pass those up. Then there's

3.) How much time is left on the event? If you only have a few days left, of course you should refer to the point above for the decision making process, but generally if you don't think you have enough time to capitalize on the upgrade, don't do it. If the event doesn't start for several weeks, my philosophy is to get in, upgrade, get your gifts ready, promote the pre-lauch to get other JV partners in so it's more attractive to new members (plus when they upgrade, you make money), and then actively help all who need it. This will improve your credibility and your ability to participate in other kinds of JV Partnerships that will be lucrative for you and the other partner involved once you guys have built huge lists from these events.

A major point to realize, though, is that the majority of signup activity within these events is in the first two weeks! If the upgrade is 17 or 27 bucks for a 1, 2, or 3 week event, go ahead and do it! Often, this will completely eliminate any need to promote, and you can just capitalize on your willingness to upgrade, even before you have a list to market to.

Another important point to make here is that the more active you are with all of this, the more likely it is that you will make friends in this part of the industry. Can you imagine running your own even with loads of contributors and members upgrading and buying extras while professionals put it all on for you and other people promote it? Think of the possibilities!

Now go sign up for everything below, get all the free stuff you can hold, upgrade where it makes sense, and watch your list CATAPULT INTO THE STRATOSPHERE!!! This is the easiest and most dramatically high-impact thing you will do for your business. NOW GO!!!

Okay! So I'm here to help you build your list and get a crapload of free stuff in the meantime. This is the fastest way to get your list built using a couple of hours worth of effort, yielding more than all of your other efforts combined in a super-short period of time. It used to be that JV partnerships were restricted to only those who already had huge lists. That's no longer the case. These days, all you have to do is have a unique product that you can give away free, build a squeeze page (or use a free template, which you can grab below), throw in an OTO and post on your site for download. That's the hardest part. If you don't know how to do an OTO, grab one from OTO Goldmine. It's free:

Making Money Online Was Never So EASY!

 If you don't have something to give away, don't worry. Click the Bonus Gift link below to get your hands on 200 products with all rights you need. It's all free!!! Then pick what you want and use it. Even if you're just a freebie seeker, fine. Get what yu want from it. Then join every one of the JV giveaways below and either download everything you want or contribute a gift so you can explode your list! It just doesn't get any easier than that!

Seriously, you can blow up your list to months' worth of growth in a couple of weeks. This really does work better than you can imagine. If you want more exposure, take as many of the upgrade options as your budget will allow. That allows you to add more gifts (more opportunities to get subscribers), more exposure, the opportunity to add OTOs to the giveaway sites, and access to more products for you to download!

I have included the giveaway dates. Some of these are long-term, and some are not. You definitely want to take advantage of the upgrades on the long-term ones since they're cheap and will give you lifetime (of the giveaway) exposure above everyone else. As for the other ones, use your judgment based on the amount of time left. Some will lower the upgrade price based on the amount of time left, but if it isn't worth it, it isn't worth it. THE EARLIER YOU GET IN, THE GREATER THE CHANCE OF BEING ON THE FIRST PAGES, SO SIGN UP NOW FOR THE ONES THAT ARE STILL PENDING!!!!

For more information on timing and upgrade questions, read my supplemental post HERE.

Trust me, since I started doing these, I haven't turned back. This is what all the hot shots out there do to get as many names as possible on their lists so they can build more opportunities to make money.

Let's recap:

Step 1: Grab the FREE 200 PLR Products Pack

Step 2: Prepare your giveaway products if you want to contribute and grow your lists

Step 3: Sign up to EVERY one of the JV Giveaways, upgrading where appropriate based on time you can take advantage of, and submit your products. While you're there, grab all the free stuff you can get your hands on.

Step 4:Sign up for my newsletter to the right and my RSS feed to learn more about becoming successful in your internet marketing endeavors

Step 5: Chill. Over the next few weeks, your lists are going to explode!
