Slow Down and Read the Emails

Internet marketing is an interesting animal. We survive in part by email, especially if a big part of your marketing is to safelists yet many of us hate email, grumble and complain about them. These negative attitudes mean that important, crucial information is being missed, that could vastly improve your own marketing.

Safelists are a prime example.

Here's how a safelist works. You subscribe to the list and agree to receive emails from other members. To sweeten the pie and make sure the emails get read you receive points for each email you read. When you have read enough emails you will have earned enough points so that you can now have your turn sending out emails. These are called credit based safelists.

They are safe because all the members agree to receive the email so you avoid the whole ugly issue of spam.

So far it all sounds fine, except for one thing... the amount of emails you need to click on to build enough credits for you to send out your own email.

This leads to a blurring of the definition of reading emails. With the magic of browser tabs you can now open a number of ads at once, thus speeding up the process of collecting points.

The process of opening and receiving points is two step. First you open the email. Inside the email is a link to click which will open the site talked about in the email and which brings about the collection of points.

I understand everyone's rush to click through to get the credits. But there is a wealth of knowledge within those emails that I think is going unnoticed.

I need to define a few other things here to get to the point. Many of the links in the emails lead you to generic, glossy sites ( generally known as landing pages) built by professionals, and replicated exactly for each member who signs up. After you've seen these replicated sites a few thousand times, they tend to get stale, at least as far as the safelist member is concerned.(Which is one reason I think every internet marketer no matter how new, needs to learn to build their own lead capture pages.)

The whole point of the exercise is to get one of those blurry eyed marketers to open up your email and find something that is interesting enough to get them to subscribe to your site.

There is a universal axiom in marketing: Know your competition. These emails and sites are a gold mine to prospected for nuggets you can use to your advantage. You might see a phrase or a way of approaching a subject that turns on a light for you.You might see a catchy subject line that sparks your creative juices. You will also find out what your competition is writing and talking about.

Another reason to read those emails is to see what another member of the website you are promoting is doing. Some of my best work comes from reading my partner's emails.

What points are they making about the site you're both promoting?

What types of approaches are they using?

What do they think is important to their target audience?

What keywords are they using?

Don't let those golden nuggets of information pass you by in your rush to earn credits. Slow down long enough to at least browse the emails, then you can spend those precious credits more wisely.

Bram Smith Get's Inside GVO to Give Us His Report

GVOCOM Explained

GVO has me really excited. So excited I forgot to feed the goldfish in my pond, so I'll send you this and run. I can hear them calling, "Nick . Nick!"


I am all ready seeing results and the site isn't even in pre-launch yet.

This letter from Bram Smith comes by way of Janet Legere one of the Net's premier instructors on how to build your own list. Bram Smith is also
a well known internet marketer.

This is what he had to say after a visit to GVO headquarters


Letter from Bram Smith:

Okay guys...

I can confirm that GVO is the most incredible company I have ever worked with ;-)

I just drove out to the GVO offices, waltzed right in and asked for Joel, and had a sit down with he and Mike (you will know Mike if you've been following Joel's blog, which you should be).

I didn't know what to expect really. I brought with me a list of questions I know that a lot of people have surrounding the GVO launch.

Joel is cautious when it comes to announcing an exact date that GVO will go into pre-launch, but I can tell you that I am more pumped than EVER about this company now.

I sat down at Joel's computer and got a sneek peak of the GVO back office, marketing tools and products. People, it ROCKS!

If the thought has even entered your mind about dropping out of GVO before we even get to prelaunch it would be a HUGE mistake.

After a tour of the facilities (with PLENTY of room for expansion), Joel, Mike and I sat down in the "green room" and I grilled him for what must have been close to an hour.

If you have ANY questions about the GVO compensation plan, the products, and why this is such an excellent opportunity, believe me -- I got them answered for you.

We even took a trip to the white board in Joel's office for a detailed explanation about the compensation plan, and boy am I excited about what I found out. Turns out there were several perks I wasn't even aware of.

Since the video turned out so long and we ended up doing it on the much nicer GVO video cam than my Flip cam, Joel agreed to have his video production guy produce the video for me.

I can't wait for you to see it because you're going to be as jazzed as I am by what you hear.

You don't know the half of it yet!

One thing I wanted you to know NOW before you even see the video is that the commission stats you see in your Kiosk back office do NOT reflect everything properly. (but they should soon)

You will receive a 50% fast start bonus your first month for each of your personal referrals. Right now that's not showing.

Here are some other KEY things about the comp plan I'm sure you will want to know...

========================

- 2x10 forced matrix (meaning people in your upline OR your downline may contribute to your overall income as they refer more and more people)

- %5 commission on EACH of the 10 levels. A full matrix is 2046 people, or over $4,500 per month if every person is on the LOWEST price-point product package -- and if you didn't refer ANY of them.

If you referred some of them, you earn 20% of what your referrals earn too (matching bonuses). This is in addition to your normal matrix commissions.

- For every 14 Titanium members in your organization, you get another position in the matrix. You can save these up in a pool and use them (position them) where you want to and WHEN you want to.

This is great, for instance, if you want to put one of these "bonus" positions directly under a heavy-hitter you refer, or if you want to use it as incentive by placing it under a friend or family member and then start building it so you build your income AND theirs, or rewarding a hard-working member in your group by placing one of your bonus positions under them.

And ah... this is KILLER. If you're really going to get cranking and promoting GVO, you will LOVE this. Each month, GVO will put 10% of company net profits into a bonus pool. I don't know that it has an official name yet, but we'll call it the heavy hitter bonus pool for now.

The TOP 20 referrers each month will share in this pool equally.

NOT the top earners, but the 20 people with the most personal referrals for that month -- so even someone BRAND NEW to the company could potentially hit on this bonus their first month.

I can't make promises about the size of this pool or what the bonus to each qualifying affiliate will be, but I can imagine it getting VERY big, VERY fast based on what I've seen already.

For an easy hypothetical example, if GVO has net profits of $1 MILLION in a month, then the bonus pool for that month is $100,000, which is split equally by 20 people who referred the most new members for the month.

That's $5K in addition to your normal fast starts, matrix commissions, and matching bonuses. If you can't tell by this email that I'm excited, just wait until you see the video.

I grilled the heck out of Joel for you. What I planned on being a quick hello and tour of the office, and a few answers to pressing questions turned into a full blown tell-all about GVO (except the future stuff Joel has up his sleeve, and believe me, although I can't talk about it -- it's exciting and will mean even MORE income to you).

I'm telling you folks... I'm pumped. If you're not, check your pulse -- there's probably something wrong with you.

Joel will send me the video as soon as it's produced, and I'll be sure to pass it on to you as soon as I can.

Start telling people about GVO now and get a serious head start before we even go into pre-launch. Now is the time!

Are You Keeping Score?

By Nick Grimshawe

How many new leads have you generated today? This week? This month?

Don't know the answer, then you need to find away to keep score of all your important statistics.

How do you know if your marketing is working?

How do you push to improve your results?

What are the important measurable for you?

Every business is different, and every human being is different so we have different priorities.




Let me assume for the moment that you are an internet marketer.

Key to successful internet marketing is your contact list.

Another key would be the number of leads you are generating. Leads are the life blood of your business.

How about why you are in the internet marketing business to begin with...number of quality hours spent with your family, working on your hobby, vacations. All of these things can be measured.

You can go crazy and try to measure everything, or you can select the top 5 most important areas in which you want to measure your successes.

Notice I keep saying "measure your successes". You don't want to focus on failure. For instance keeping track of the number of ad campaigns that produced no results would only discourage you. But measure the number of successful campaigns and you'll find yourself looking for ways to beat last week's target.

Keep your tracking methods simple. A sheet of graph paper for each stat would work perfectly.

I use an excel spread sheet and a bar graph to keep score. I find it easier than trying to keep track of the paper and the graph is a lot easier to update.

Here’s an example from my hit logs at GDI a site I place a lot of importance on.





The high points correspond with more intense promotion of my website. Now I have other ways to market the site but this stat keeps be focused on getting hits to the site and it looks like I am do to send out another promotion campaign to get my hits up.

See what I mean.




What you measure you treasure and that keeps you on track.

Start to measure your way to success today.
