How to Make Money with Email Marketing

How to Make Money with Email Marketing
Many people who work from home promoting the products and
services from an internet affiliate program eventually
realize that they can make money with email marketing. With
email - a tool that most everyone uses almost every day -
it's easy to start to establish a relationship with
prospects who are likely to purchase the projects and
services that you are promoting.

Email marketing works because there are opportunities to
personalize messages to each person on your list. It also
works because it's possible to set up an auto-responder or
even an ezine subscription service so that the messages
that you want your prospects to receive is sent out at
specified intervals (you didn't really think that all of
the email that you receive from online marketers was
written personally, right?). This is ideal because it also
makes it possible for you to use the same marketing
messages over and over whenever you have a new prospective
buyer for your internet affiliate program products and
services, and you can even create multiple lists so that
different people can choose which information they want to
receive.

Of course, that doesn't mean that getting started with
email marketing for your internet affiliate program
products or services is easy; it's more complex than
launching a pay per click campaign, a bit trickier than
writing articles and more challenging than finding forums
to participate and post in. This is because you need a list.

Now, it's possible to go to a list broker and to arrange to
buy a certain number of email addresses - some of which
will be targeted leads, people who have an interest in the
products and services that you're focusing on in your home
based business. But there's always a risk that, when you
buy a list, you won't only get contact information that you
can use, you'll also end up paying for some bum addresses
and that not everyone will be interested.

It's essential, therefore, because of internet Can SPAM
initiatives that you let people whose addresses you
received on a list know that they are not obligated to stay
on your mailing list. If you received their address from a
company that asks them to check off a box to indicate that
they do not want their address shared, be sure to be clear
about it.

Buying leads is a well-established marketing process; but
not everyone believes that it should be. Therefore, if you
are serious about making money with email marketing to
promote your internet affiliate program products and
services, you may want to look into designing your own
website. That way, you could not only provide links to the
products or services that you are promoting, but also you
would be able to generate a form and gather information
from site visitors - instead of buying a list, you can
build your own list.

There are a number of advantages to this as many who make
money online will tell you, but it's not for everyone.
Those who have seen the benefits, however, will tell you
it's definitely worth it.
