To Online Business Owners & Entrepreneurs:
An Email List That You OWN Is Your MOST Valuable Asset.

Attract buyers, and increase your sales by 2X, 4X, or even 10X using direct response advertising. Keep your audience engaged with storytelling and infotainment that improves quality-of-life.

Overview

Three Direct Response Mediums

To build your list, you need to use the necessary tools and mediums at your disposal, such as:

Email Marketing

Email Marketing keeps your audience engaged and your brand top-of-mind. It is more personal and more importantly: you own your list unlike social media.

Sales/Landing Page

For people to sign-up to your newsletter, or download a lead magnet, you need a landing page that clearly demonstrates the benefits of your offer.

Small Ads

On X/Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn to drive traffic to your landing page, sales pages, or marketing site.

Benefits

Why Your Email List Is Your Greatest Asset

The following six reasons are why building your list can be very profitable:

Email Has The Best ROI of any digital medium

For every $1 invested you can receive a return of an average of $36 to $42--making it the most effective digital marketing medium.

Ease Of Communication

Emails are quick and easy to send. Landing pages are always running 24/7 and accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

Customer Retention

It is well known that the best customers are those who have bought from you before.

Save Time & Money

Setting up workflows based on triggers and utilizing automations gives you more time to focus on your product, service and offer.

Own Your List

No one can take your list away, shut it down or delete it--unlike social media.

More Flexibility

Emails can be changed to suit your needs, announce a new offer, or keep your customers in the loop and top of mind.

Not Sure If Building An Email List Is Right For Your Business?

4 common objections when it comes to building a list

It takes too long

True building a list can take time, but this is a good thing. Why? Because you can improve as you go, get feedback from real people. You want a quality list over a large list. People who will actually buy rather than an army of window-shoppers.

It is too expensive

There is a saying: the one who spends the most to obtain a customer wins. I think Dan Kennedy may have originated it. In any case, the more money spent on building your list improves the quality of the list and ultimately the longetivty of your business. Plus you make your money back and then some!

There are too many variables involved

Emails can be very effective but building a list involves an entire sales funnel. It makes sense to utilize every tool at your disposal to build a long lasting and profitable business. Once you know what is involved, it is just a matter of setting it up once.

I don't have the time to write and set up automations

Using AI is one option but it lacks a personal touch such as stories only you can tell. A good Email Service Provider like Substack, MailerLite, Beehiiv, and ConvertKit make it easy to set up automations based on user behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a quesiton not covered here, feel free to send me an email

Will my sales hike because of an email marketing campaign?

Email has the best ROI of any digital medium because it can be personalized. With segmentation you can be sure that only people interested in a certain topic or product will receive the relevant emails. This can dramatically increase sales. Also make sure to use direct response copy--buttons and links to long form sales pages.

Should I buy an email list or build my own?

Buying an existing list is an attractive option if you want to make a quick buck. But it is risky because your offer may or may not be relevant to the audience. With that being said, the best kind of list by far is your own. Why? The people who sign-up to your email newsletter have shown interest and are more willing to buy from you in the near future.

What are the best kinds of subject lines?

A person's name is the most beautiful sound in any language. With emails you can personalize the subject lines to include the recepients name. Also, you want to capture attention by making a promise, highlighting a benefit, asking a question or arousing curiosity.

How often should I send emails?

There is no strict rule but as long as the content is relevant and you add value in your emails, people will read them if it benefits them or solves a problem. Some marketers send emails everyday, while other limit it to once a week. An automation sequence usually have several days between emails.

How do I prevent people from unsubscribing?

Always write something your audience cares about. If you sell info-products on fitness, it does not make any sense to send them emails on the latest Hollywood gossip. As long as the content is relevant, people will be interested in what you have to say.

How do I make sure my emails get delivered?

Use a trusted Email Service Provider like ConvertKit, Beehiiv, and MailerLite. Make sure every email has a unsubscribe option otherwise it might get tagged as spam. There is nothing worse than running a campaign only for it to end up in the junk folder.

How do I get people to read my emails?

It all comes down to bait. Offer something that reader cares about. Tell stories that are informative, entertaining and relevant. Use direct response copy to write persuasively using proven sales techniques based on science, not guesswork.

Are text based emails better or more graphic heavy ones?

Think about the emails you open no matter what. They are probably from friends and family and they read like a personal letter because they are. Same thing with an email campaign for your business. There is nothing wrong with using graphics but they are not critical to your marketing success.
