Pitch Offers And Deliver Content In Your Email Messages

You're building a list of email opt-in subscribers but those subscribers don't do you any good unless you broadcast emails out to them. When you do those broadcasts, there are basically two kinds of messages you can send. One's to promote an offer for people to buy and ones that don't. In other words, you can either pitch an offer or you can give away free content. How much pitch and how much content should you have in your emails?

It's very simple, just start with the content email and pitch at the end. That way, if someone is not interested in your offer but might be in the future, if someone has already taken you up on your offer and purchased, they can still get something out of that email, they just don't click on the link. Likewise, if they have not bought from you or they have not purchased this particular offer yet, they can read that same piece of content and understand why the pitch is important and click on it already pre-sold for what you are offering.

The only tricky part is transitioning from the free to the paid and many people get nervous and chicken out. But if you think of it instead of as content and pitch as why you need this into here it is, it becomes easier. If you're promoting a course on how to design a webpage, your content might explain the alternatives to making your own webpage. You can hire it out, you can buy an existing template and your content is listing all the alternatives or all the different ways to go about it. But then you should transition and say, "Here are all the bad ways to do it but the best way, the perfect way, my way is to buy this training course on how to design your own webpage. That way you pay one time, you can use it over and over again and the webpage comes out exactly the way you want it."

When it comes to email marketing, the thing you have to remember is that you're automatically better than most other email marketers because you are the one who sticks around. You are the one who sends them messages and follows up when everyone else forgets about it. Just by sending emails to your subscribers on a regular basis and building that relationship will increase your click through rate to the web pages and your conversion rate to those order buttons.

How Often To Mail Your Email Subscriber List?

Many people put a lot of effort into having an opt-in page, making a list and getting traffic to that list so that you can gather new volunteer email subscribers who will then read your messages and click on whatever links you send in those messages. Obviously, you want to have fans and you want to have people on your list who will go to your latest blog post, your latest affiliate link, your latest forum post or you later sales letter but how often should you mail? How often is too much? Is it possible to not mail often enough?

You should email your list at least once a week if not every day. I know that asking you out of the gate to email your subscribers every single day is a lot to ask which is why once a week is a good place to start until you get used to sending short and to the point messages and you make it a daily habit or routine to contact these subscribers. It's okay to email your subscribers every single day because you're giving them good information which leads me to the next common issue of "Should I send content emails or should I send pitch emails? Should I share lots of free tips or should I give them links on what to buy?"

The answer is both, you just emails that are a blend of content and pitch. You share with them a tip and then you explain how they can use that tip by buying this course. You solve one of their problems and say, "Now that this problem has been solved, the next step is to click on this link and buy this thing." Your email is not 100% content but they are also not 100% pitch. Note that I said, not 100% content. That means that every one of your emails should lead to something.

You should have a call to action underneath this short message you're sending. A call to action is just "Here is what to do after you read the email." That might be, "Be on the lookout for my email tomorrow." It might be, "Click on this link and read and comment on my blog post." It might be, "Reply to this message," or it might be, "Click on this link, go to this webpage and buy." But make sure that your email messages don't just leave your subscribers hanging. There's a very clear step to take after they are finished reading.
