10 Fast Track Ways to Getting Your Customers Opening Your Emails And Buying From You!

Half the battle won in advertising online is getting your ads noticed so that they have impact and create desire and urgency to push the reader into taking the necessary action.

Your subject line will determine whether or not your ad gets read.

Here are 10 ways to increase the chance of your ad getting read:-

(1) Ask people a question in your subject line. School has trained us to automatically answer questions.

(2) Use the word “free” or “fre^” to entice your targeted audience with free information, a free download, free software or a free trial.

(3) Put a smile in your subject line :O). When dealing with people face to face it is easy to respond to someone else’s smile. Online, smiles can’t be seen so add an online smile at the beginning of your subject line.

(4) Be realistic in your claims. People’s inboxes are filled to the brim with promises of millionaire status in 180 days. Be realistic and downplay the income potential. Besides, some people are only looking for a few hundred extra dollars a month, not hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, so make your offer enticing to all.

(5) Avoid using all capitals in your subject line. It is difficult to read and online it is also considered shouting so just capitalize the beginning of every word.

(6) Draw attention to your subject line by starting with the word “stop”. People have been trained to stop and listen when they see that word.

(7) Use extra white spaces in your subject line to create eye-catching gaps between your words and your letters.

(8) Be creative in your use of capital letters and lower case letters in your subject line.

(9) Capitalise Key words in your subject line to add emphasis.

(10) Be detailed and specific. For example, 365 days sounds much more than 1 year. $100.00 a day is more specific then thousands of dollars a month. Add 100 subscribers a week is better than grow your list.

As soon as you begin building your email list you want to set up your follow-up emails. There should be around 7 - 10 emails in this sequence. The first email is your welcome email with a reminder of where to download their purchase or free gift.

Your subsequent emails will be a based around their purchase, ask them if they have any problems with the download. Chat about the product in your next email and discuss it in a little more detail.

By the fourth or fifth email you may want to start leaving a link to where they can find additional information on this topic. Always make sure you add your contact details to your emails and a link to your main website and to one of your social sites.

Once you have build an introductory relationship with your list you want to start thinking about how to monetize your emails. One easy way to do this is by recommending related products or services to your subscribers.

What you offer will depend upon your business model. For example if you are working with beginners who want to market online then it makes sense to send them to products that can help them achieve this. This could be a product on how to set up wordpress or how to start their own email list.

By spending the time to develop a relationship with your list you will find that when you do promote products they will happily buy from you. Don't forget that you can create your own products as well and market them to your list. You may want to give them a special price because they are on your list.

As well as recommending products to your list don't forget to also send out some free gifts or coupons from time to time. Customers love to be appreciated and this is a great way to do just this.

How to Make Sure Your Emails Don’t Look Like Spam

There is an art to email delivery that really is not that difficult to understand when you put your private email communications in context.  Most of us encounter email delivery problems when we start using email for marketing purposes and we are sending out a lot of emails to many customers.  You may have noticed that very rarely do you encounter email deliverability problems with your private emails to friends or even with business emails.

That is because spam filter software has become very adept at telling the difference between a professional email that could be spam and private communications.  So naturally that tells us something important about how to go about avoiding email delivery problems when constructing marketing communications.  You just have to work to make sure your marketing emails do not look like spam and look more like a private email so they fly right through spam filters and get to your customers.

In addition your marketing emails must act like private emails.  That means if you have a well developed mailing list of perhaps several thousand of email addresses or more, do not manage that from your private email service. For a mailing of that size, it is best to utilize the services of a professional autoresponder service.  The cost is nominal and could be by the mailing.  They can send out your emails in such a way as to not draw the alarms of the spam filter software guardians. And they often offer additional services such as deliverability reports, retransmits of bounced emails and reports of bad email addresses that can save you a lot of time and make you more efficient as well.

One of the ways that spam filters often identify spam is by the level of graphics that is used in the marketing email.  While very attractive emails do send  a message of professionalism to the customer, they don’t send that message if they end up at the bottom of a spam quarantine folder.  So avoid the use of graphics altogether.  Just say what you have to say to your customer and then draw them to your web site with a link where they can see your professional graphics.

Have you ever scanned a full spam filter holding folder?  If you have not, you should because it will tell you a lot about how spammers write.  Just by scanning twenty or thirty of these spam messages, you can get a feel for the techniques used by spammers and you can avoid those methods in writing your own marketing emails.  This falls under the "know thy enemy" category of doing battle with email delivery problems because it is the spammer that is the enemy here.

When writing an email that will go out to your customers or prospective customers, think of that customer as one person whom you are writing to as a friend.  Be informal and avoid a lot of marketing "hype" and hyperbole.  Spam filters are good at "listening" for the language of spam artists so if you write like a person writing to a person, it is very likely your email will go right on through because it will not be flagged as marketing at all.  And the other benefit of writing like this to your customers is that it is a warm and personal style that will work well in communicating to customers.

Make a hobby of keeping up with how spam emailers work and how their messages change as they learn to get around spam filters.  The spam filter businesses will be changing with them so be aware of any new trends in this stange part of cyberspace communication so you can alter how you create your marketing emails so you make sure your communications with your customers never look like spam.
