3 Proven Methods Increase Email Open Rates



Today is the first of a series of How-To videos on how to create an effective email marketing campaign. Email Marketing is one of the best ways to make money online. You know why? Because for every dollar spent on email marketing, (based on the Direct Marketing Association 2011) email marketing returns $40.56! Most marketers get it wrong, and wind up frustrated. However, before we get to the video of how to send your first email newsletter, here are three things you should do to make sure your email newsletters get read, opened and not sent to the spam folder.

1. Targeting your email subscribers--- Keep track of what they purchase from you by creating a simple excel spreadsheet. There are two email clients I am testing out right now, Send Stream and Aweber. They both have advantages and disadvantages, Send Stream seems to support behavioral data more than Aweber. However, Aweber has a $1 trial you can sign up for 30 days, just to give them a shot. While Send Stream has a 30 day free trial and also allows you to incorporate video email marketing into their templates.

2. Automate Your Campaigns---Email campaign automation saves time and creates more sales. Both these email clients allow you to automate your campaigns. Basically, you can schedule your campaigns to run freeing you up to do other business related things. Research shows that the best time to send a newsletter or email marketing campaign is 6AM. Your open rate will shoot up to 40% or more if you schedule it at this time. Automation enables you to drive more familiarity and relevance. People pay attention to attention to things that are familiar. After you've earned your subscriber's initial attention, the relevance of your message is going to determine whether or not you hold your subscriber's attention and generate positive engagement.


3. Monitor the look of your HTML emails inside the inbox of email programs.----The way in which your subscriber's webmail, desktop and mobile email clients render HTML will determine how your HTML emails look inside the inbox. I send test emails to my own email client each week just so I know what they look like, and what challenges my readers/subscribers may have before they receive them. This gives me an opportunity to fine tune information as well as double check spelling and punctuation. You never want to look unprofessional to your subscriber, so make sure you stay on top of your game by paying attention to details. It's the little things that can kill your campaign and affect your earning potential.


Take a look at the following video, "Send Your First Email Newsletter Today." Remember, when you learn how to do it right, then the money comes easily.

Article Writing and the Email Marketer

You have got to have an opt-in list if you are an email marketer. There simply is no other choice. After Congress passed the CAN SPAM Act and it became law in 2004, you cannot legally send bulk marketing emails without the express consent of the recipients. If you do, you will be fined heavily. The law provides fines for up to $11,000 per incident. So...there you have it! You either have an opt-in list or you will have to find another way to make a living. One of the best ways to build your opt-in list is to write and market articles. Each time an article that you have written and submitted to an article bank for use by other website owners and ezine publishers, every name on their lists are exposed to a link to your website. If the articles are good and filled with relevant information, they can produce much traffic and many new opt-in subscribers. It isn't hard to write a marketable article. Marketable articles are short...only 300 to 400 words. The key ingredients...

Are You Successful Because of God, or Is It You?

I just read this article published by Marketo, titled: "The God Complex and the Importance of Trial and Error, " written by Jason Miller, it discussed a scenario where a company which wants to make detergent discovers how using a process of trial and error. The gist of the article summizes to create the theory which states do successful people have a God complex in which they refuse to believe, no matter the situation, that their way of thinking, their ideas are wrong regardless of the "complexity of the situation." Let me tell you why that article sticks out to me. I have been marketing successfully and unsuccessfully at times on the internet since 2001. I've had my super successful times as well as times when I've just plain walked away from projects. There was a period where internet marketing programs paid my bills for three years and financed lavish vacations to the Caribbean and other wonderful places many people...
