Online Newsletter Marketing

Online newsletter marketing is one of the most effective ways to get sales immediately for your online business. An email newsletter gives you the opportunity to connect with your readers and build your credibility. The more your credibility increases, the more your readers will trust you, the more they will believe your words, and the more likely they are to purchase your products.

When doing online newsletter marketing, if your newsletter content is good, it means you put a lot of effort into making sure that your subscribers are benefiting from what you are saying. This means you want them to be successful - and you should - and the more you show them that, the more you'll be able to boost your sales and conversion rates. Nothing is more crucial to email newsletter sales than consistency, quality, and a personal relationship.

Now some people go about marketing their online newsletter the wrong way. What you DON'T want to do is fill your list up with people who didn't "opt-in" to subscribe to your newsletter. This means do not attempt to add people to your list who didn't ask to be on there in the first place. The way that they "ask" is by visiting your website themselves and entering their email address (and sometimes name) into your web form.

You will want to stay away from bulk email marketing services that allow you to buy thousands of names to mail to. Also stay away from mass emailing people (spamming) as this is not an effective technique. You run the risk of getting blacklisted. When this happens, none of your emails will reach your intended prospect's inbox folder. It will always go to spam - or it may not get delivered at all.

Online newsletter marketing is essential to your online business so don't mess it up. Use techniques such as joint venture marketing. Don't rely on tactics such as solo ads to get new leads and market to them. First of all, more than likely these are dead leads and have been spammed and emailed to death 100's of times over. Second, you will be guaranteed to lose money as no one will convert into sales. Third, the email list owner who sent the solo ad mailing out is shady and knows that their list is terrible. And finally, you will get a lot non-deliverables and your emails being sent to spam folders over and over again. And people will report you as spam.

Online newsletter marketing is integral to your success, so always stick with techniques that will allow you to get the most bang for your buck. I want to go over a few ways that you can make this happen, and have your email marketing efforts pay off big for you. You only want to attract high quality leads to your website. This is essential because your conversion rates will go up, your sales will go up, and you won't have to worry about anyone complaining that they don't want to receive the information you're sending them. They can simply unsubscribe. Here's the first tip for having newsletter marketing success:

1) Have an opt-in form on every page of your website

If you have a blog, once you put the HTML code into your blog and publish it onto the internet, typically every page that you create afterwards will have that opt-in code embedded on that page. So essentially you good here. But if you have a website, and you built it yourself using a custom software, you will want to make sure that every page has your email opt-in form on it.

You will want to do this because if you have website or blog content that shows up in the search results and someone clicks on your link, you want to give them the opportunity to sign up for your newsletter before they leave your site. This is especially true if they like your information and decide that they want to read more. So they will probably browse your other content and other posts on your site, and continue to read.

The more they read, the more interested they will become in you, and then they will want to look for a way to get more information from you. This will be your opportunity to easily guide them to your opt-in form so that they can subscribe to get updates and new content that you produce. Once you have them in your opt-in email newsletter sequence, you can send them content and pitch them on the products and services that you may have. Here's another tip for online newsletter marketing success:

2) Offer free stuff in every email

In every newsletter email that you send out, be sure to offer something for free aside from the content that you already give them. People love free stuff - especially free new stuff. If you're already giving them good content via email, let them have something that they can download and read/view while their offline. Their insatiable appetite to learn is unquenchable. Even after purchasing something from you they will want more.

Continue to give them more - and give them something that they will want to read for a "re-fresher" over and over again. Sometimes people will accidentally miss your emails, and when they do, at least they will have something tangible on their computer that they can read or watch to get reminding ideas of how to have success doing something. So along with the great content that you create, offer them some free downloads or something else for free that can further their education. Here's the last tip I want to give you:

3) Try to add new email content everyday

Statistics show that it takes an average of 7 contacts to convert an email lead into a customer. Now that statistic is a little ambiguous because it never states how often you should email a prospects to reach that 7 contact number. Should you mail everyday? Every 3 days? Once a week? Once a month? My answer to these questions are that you should have your autoresponder scheduled to mail every 3 days - but create the new email content everyday.

If you create the new email content everyday, you're filling up your email sequence with messages that can last you for a long time. Imagine if you added an email everyday - but had them sequenced to be delivered every 3 days. That means if you wrote 60 emails, you would have enough email content to last you for approximately 6 months (60 x 3 = 180 days). From there you could put your online newsletter marketing on autopilot.

If you knew you're conversion rates and at what message interval you get the most sales from, you could write your emails and be done with it for life. This is just mathematical sense. If you create your emails well in advance, it should take you no more than 1 week to craft the emails, put them into your autoresponder, and sit back and focus on another area of marketing while your online newsletter runs itself. This is the ideal way of doing it.

Online newsletter marketing is crucial to your internet business success. And if you want to get the most bang for your buck, be sure to implement what I've stated today. Good luck!

Using A Blog To Promote Your Podcast

It is highly recommended that if you are a blogger, you also have a podcast. Of course not everyone with a blog is going to want to start a podcast. And not every podcaster is going to be comfortable enough to have a blog, but there are so many benefits of having one of each. This information is going to give you some more insight on how exactly to connect your podcast to your blog so that your readers listen to the podcast and your listeners read your blog.

Have Your Podcast Expand on Topics Discussed

One of the easiest ways to connect a podcast to your blog is to actually have a blog post and an episode on the same topic. You can start by writing the post about one aspect of the topic, just to introduce it. You can then expand on that topic in a recorded podcast.

You should wait to publish the blog post until you have recorded and edited your podcast. You will then upload the podcast and post the link (or embed it) directly into the blog post. At the end of the post, mention that if they want to learn more about this particular topic, they can listen to your podcast.

This allows your readers to have an option. But today, many people are more than willing to listen to your podcast to hear you discuss this topic as well.

Embed the Audio Directly Into a Blog Post

This is similar to the previous suggestion, but the blog post is usually only about the podcast. For example, if you record a podcast episode that is relevant to your blog audience, you can create a post where you give a brief introduction and give them a description of what the podcast episode is about. Give them a few tidbits of information that will make the podcast episode more interesting. Highlight some points in the blog post, as this helps to provide some keywords for organic searches. This will help people on search engines to not only find your blog, but also find your podcast!

Announce Your Podcast Regularly

Make sure you keep your blog readers updated with news about your podcast as long as the podcast topic is relevant to your blog post topic. It doesn't have to be related directly, but at least be something you think your blog readers might be interested in.

If you have a blog that is about internet marketing, and you have a blog post that discusses earning money from home and how you got started, that is relevant enough to connect the two together. You don't have to embed the podcast episode into the post, but just give a little link to let people know about the episode and that they might be interested in listening to it.

Have the Latest Podcast in Your Sidebar

When you don't want to push the podcast too much, a more subtle way is to simply have a sidebar ad that gives the name of the podcast and directly goes to the website or Apple Podcasts section where your podcast episodes are published online. People browsing your blog can then decide whether or not they want to listen to it.

Using your show notes for your podcast can also direct people to your blog site. Simply put a short description, such as, "I recently discussed this topic on my blog and you can read about it at (and give the URL).

Use those show notes to promote your topic and also to drive traffic to your blog post. This will, again, create those precious back-links for SEO purposes. The more back-links you can generate between your blog and your podcast; your blog and your website; your podcast and your website; and your podcast back to your blog (without being to obnoxious), the better your ability to be found in searches.

This all is designed for one specific purpose, that is to get you more listeners to your podcast. The more listeners you have, the more opportunity you will have to actually monetize your podcast.

We will discuss monetization in a future article. But podcasting does have some expenses with it. If you can monetize your podcast (even on a small-scale), those expenses are covered by your listeners. Now you can podcast for free (or even make a profit)!

But to do this, you must be able to create those precious back-links. And linking your blog to your podcast is one way of helping you to achieve the desired results.

3 Things All Successful Bloggers Do

Blogging is a great way to earn income and promote your business, or just have as a place to discuss your passion.

If you do at least these three things, you can have a super successful blog. You can have a blog that attracts an audience who wants to read what you have to say and take your advice, and who comes back for more on a regular basis.

All successful bloggers have three things in common:

1. They post blogs regularly
2. They post unique content
3. They post audience-focused content

One way to keep up with blogging is to create a blog publication calendar. A blog publication calendar will take into consideration important upcoming events, product launches, and other issues, helping you work in advance to keep your blog full of interesting and relevant content.

In order to make a blog publication calendar, you need to first make a few determinations such as:

How Often You Will Blog?

First determine how often you plan to publish a blog post. This could be daily, weekly or whatever your choice. This helps you know how often you'll need to write blog posts, and when you'll need to publish them or schedule them.

Who Are You Blogging For?

Write down a few different personas for your audience so that you can know to whom you're writing the blog posts. It can help you keep focused better if you can look at these personas when you are ready to write.

Which Blogging Categories Will You Use?

Depending upon your niche, you'll need to choose some categories that a post will go under when you blog. Spreading out the categories can help you come up with more interesting content. For example, if you have a blog about Labrador Retrievers, some categories might be Rescued Labs, Feeding, Exercising, Training, Chocolate Labs and so forth.

Are There Any Upcoming Events or Product Launches?

Are there any upcoming events related to your niche? For example, is there a conference coming up, or are you launching (or someone else) a new product that is perfect for your niche? Keeping up with these dates can help you create content that will entice readers to buy the item at launch.

Once you have determined this information, you can start brainstorming content ideas to match upcoming events, product launches, and industry news. In between those types of blog posts, you can put other types of posts up such as educational, informational, interesting and fun blog posts.
