My last email talked about how some gurus try to make everything in online marketing sound more difficult than it actually is.
Yes, there are a lot of things you can optimize.
But the basics are simple.
Attract a hungry audience.
Get them on a list.
Send them entertaining emails with personality and contrarian content.
Make offers.
You don’t even need to have your own products in the beginning.
You can get start as an affiliate promoting other people’s offers for a share of the profits.
Don’t wait until you have all your ducks in a row to get started either.
You’ll need a message to share.
But that message doesn’t need to be perfect out of the gate.
Get started with a simple, easy-to-put-together lead magnet to get people on your list.
Start writing emails from your own unique viewpoint.
You’ll find your voice along the way.
You’ll refine your message.
You can test promoting different affiliate products until you find ones that convert to your audience.
Tell stories about your life.
Share tips that will help your audience.
Throw in a few rants about things that frustrate you in the industry.
Connect a popular movie or song to your message.
Ask questions to get feedback from your readers.
Keep writing emails.
Practice your persuasion.
Some of your emails will be winners. You can reuse them, add them in as an autoresponder, or expand on them.
Some of your emails may be stinkers. They’ll quickly fade from your memory…and even faster from your audience’s memory.
This pathway is a whole lot easier than trying to put together a complicated funnel from the beginning.
You don’t need half a dozen segmented lists, multiple autoresponder sequences, or a load of your own products starting out.
I’ve seen some people trying to teach complicated flowcharts that even confused me…after over 2 decades of online experience.
Master the basics first.
Write emails that connect with your audience.
Add segmentation and other elements later on once you understand your audience…and you better understand your own message.
