Still struggling to find the  key to email marketing success? You’re not alone. The good news is that we really can boil it down to a few basic steps. The key to email marketing success is to learn, do, and master the steps.

The steps are:

Step 1: Build Your List

Step 2: Build Rapport With Your List

Step 3: Sell To Your List

Step 1: Email marketing tools like the autoresponder offered by TrafficWav.net are being used around the world by restaurants, entertainers, authors, retailers, affiliate marketers, network marketers, clubs, and more to help these companies build their lists.

Building your list starts with the simplicity of adding capture form to your web site or blog. You can  use our Hosted Capture Page if you don’t yet have your own web site or blog.

Once the capture form is set up and you have your follow up messages set up, you want to begin driving traffic to your capture page. This is done through advertising, networking, social media involvement, etc… Take every opportunity you can to let folks know they can learn more about your offer by joining your list.

Step 2: Now that you have people joining your list, avoid the temptation to try selling to them right away. Send them information about your product or service. Let them know a little about you and how you can help them. Build rapport. As your subscribers learn they can trust you, they will be more inclined to want to do business with you. Each message should absolutely include a clear call to action with a link to your site, but don’t just hammer a sales message out over and over again. Build that relationship. Help your readers solve a problem and the sales will come.

Step 3: Yes. We absolutely want to sell to our list. The steps you’ve taken to get to this point are designed to put you in a position to sell more effectively. People do business with people they trust. Remind your readers that you can help them solve a problem. Share examples of how  you have helped others solve that same problem. Invite them to your web site with a clear call to action so they can order from  you when they are ready.
