Why You’re Not Alone Even When You’re a Sole Proprietor

While exciting, starting a business can be lonely. This is especially true for small business owners who traditionally start “home” businesses that they plan to run independently. But the exciting thing about this is that today you’re not alone even as a sole proprietor because today, there are many resources that you can tap into right from the comfort of your home via your computer.

 

Take a Class

online class

If you need to know something to help improve your business or life, taking a class is a great way to do it. Participating in the class with the other students and the instructor is also a great way to network with other like-minded people. Most of the time, the people taking the course and you will have something in common if only the reason for taking the class.

 

Join a Mastermind

 

If you need motivation, sometimes a mastermind group is the way to go. Not only will you be able to network with others, but you’ll learn something and potentially acquire a new resource to use to meet your goals.

 

Find Your Community

 

There is a community out there for you to join as a solopreneur that can help you learn, socialize, and grow your business. It may be local to you, or it might be online via a forum, message board, or private group on Facebook or another platform.

 

Build Your Team

 

Just because you are a solopreneur doesn’t mean you have to do everything. To acquire a skill (a resource) fast, pay for it. For example, if you don’t have financial knowledge, you may want to hire a CPA to guide you, or if you lack time to provide the proper customer care, you may want to employ a customer service expert or pay for a chatbot to help.

 

Find a Coworking Community

Why Every Business Needs a Business Plan

Locally to you, there are probably coworking communities already working together and helping each other grow. You can also find coworking communities online too through groups and forums. It can be very motivating working alongside other movers and shakers. Plus, once again, through networking, you may be able to fill your need for a particular resource based on your list.

 

Go to Live Events

 

An enjoyable and lucrative way to avoid being alone is to go to live events. Live events will stand out for you as a networking tool that will introduce you to new people to fulfill your resource list.

 

Connect with Your Customer

 

Also, don’t forget that you have customers, or you will once you start your business. You can connect with them on many levels. For example, use your hobbies and interests to build rapport when you can tie them to your business and work. Your customers are essential, and the more you can get to know them, the better.

 

As you can see, you’re never alone. As the owner of your business, it’s up to you to fill all your needs, but you don’t need to do it alone. You can network and build your team and remember to delegate and outsource so that you aren’t doing it all alone.

What Resources Do I Need to Live the Good Life?

As you plan your future business and get ready to create your business plan, you need to understand what resources you need to live the good life you want. You don’t want your business to interfere with it. In fact, you want your business to provide the good life you want. It’s not an either-or choice if you think about all this in advance.

believe

What is a resource? A resource can be either internal or external. For example, you have internal resources such as your own knowledge, skills, qualities, habits, techniques, your own funds, and things you’ve learned over time. External sources may include your access to people in the know, books, software, funds, and so forth.

 

When you look at your vision board and the goals you’ve set for each of the eight areas of life, what resources do you really need? Some resources you come across will be required, and some will be desired but not out and out required.

 

Let’s remember the eight areas of life and show an example of the possible resources you need for each area. I included some ideas for you to get you started. This is not comprehensive because it’s hard to know what any one person may have or need as this is very individual, so try to answer this for yourself using the example.

What do you have already that makes your home environment the way you want it, and what do you need to improve it based on your lifestyle goals?

 

Community Involvement

 

The same thing goes here, list all the resources you have and that you need to achieve the results you desire.

 

Some of the resources you need you may not have yet, or you may not even be sure what they are yet, but as you move along, you’ll discover what is needed, and you can add those to the list of resources you need. Make sure you create your resource list based on what you have available first and then what you need to acquire for each of the areas of life you want to design and improve.

 

Understanding exactly what you need for success in each of the eight areas of life will help you ensure that you are working toward your goal in a way that makes it possible to succeed. If you don’t have the resource yet, you can use the information you’re gathering to set up a plan to get those resources.

18 Email Marketing Mistakes to Avoid

As you get started building your email list, it’s imperative that you work to avoid the problems others have with email marketing. Email marketing is not dead. Email marketing is still “where the money is,” and there is no doubt about that. The stats are clear. Email marketing will, when done right, produce a high return on investment of 38 to 40 times what you spend.

  1. Not Spending Time Writing Better Subject Lines – Each time you create an email, make it a practice to write at least ten potential subject lines. The practice of doing that will help you create more effective subject lines improving opens and conversions.

 

  1. Avoiding Two-Way Communication from Subscribers – The days of anonymity online is over. If you’re not open about who you are and allow two-way communication in the email, your audience will not trust you.

 

  1. Focusing on Promotion Over Education – Email marketing doesn’t have to be the hard sell. Instead, it should be a gentle way of educating, informing, and engaging with your audience. When you do that, they trust you and will follow your lead.

Nothing Is Done Until You Track Your Metrics

  1. Not Creating Lead Magnets for Each Stage of The Buyer’s Journey – A generic lead magnet or freebie is not going to cut it. You need to create lead magnets that speak to your ideal customer where they are on their personal journey.

 

  1. Not Sending Useful Emails Often – Once you get someone to sign up for your list, don’t ignore them. Welcome them, educate them, inform them, and pique their curiosity about your offers with the information you offer.

 

  1. Forgetting to Include a CTA That Makes Sense – Even emails that aren’t focused on making a sale should include a CTA such as “share,” “respond,” or go read that blog post or something to direct the reader what to do next.

 

  1. Not Understanding How All Your Content Marketing Works Together – Email marketing is part of your overall content marketing strategy. The content you create in email, your blog, and elsewhere can all be repurposed and used.

 

  1. Trying to Reinvent the Wheel – There are many experts out there who have already figured out the tricks to get the most out of email marketing. Don’t think you have to do it your own way. Instead, do it the professional way by studying what industry experts do.

 

  1. Avoiding the Numbers and What They Teach You – The data you collect with analytics is imperative to the success of your business. Use that data that you can collect to get things right.

 

  1. Not Building an Email List – Some people think you don’t need email today, but you do. Email marketing is an essential component of all businesses today.

 

  1. Not Setting Then Meeting Subscriber Expectations Early – From the day someone signs up for your list, you should welcome them and let them know what to expect. When you then follow up with what you said you’d do, they start to trust you more.

 

  1. Creating Unprofessional Sloppy Messages – While you don’t have to be an English professor to craft persuasive messages, do check your spelling and your grammar to ensure that your audience understands. Ensure it also looks appealing the way you have it laid out so that it’s easier to consume.

 

  1. Being Too Much Like a Stereotypical Used Car Salesperson – While there is a time and place for the hard sell in email marketing, most of the time, you want the messages to be a lot more subtle and not harp on selling but on information instead.

 

  1. Not Using All the Tools of The Trade – Don’t try to do email marketing with your personal email or your business email platforms. Instead, use a professional platform that is set up to automate that has a good reputation.

 

  1. Forgetting That Most People Use Mobile Devices Now – Most people check email now using their smartphone, not a PC. Your messages need to be readable on a small screen, and the CTAS needs to work that way too.

 

  1. Sending Too Many Images – Images are fine but make sure you use the alt text information so that if they have a slow connection, a description shows up around what the image is that encourages them to keep reading.

 

  1. Not Setting Clear and Realistic Goals – When you start building your list, you need to know why and what you expect the results to be. If you want to get, 1000 subscribers don’t just say 1000 subscribers without setting a time limit and a method for doing it.

 

  1. Not Monetizing Your Messages – If you don’t monetize your email list, you won’t earn money from it. At least every three or four emails, send something that can earn money from your subscribers that solves a problem for them.

 

Email marketing is the most effective form of marketing ever created. No matter how big or small your business, email marketing can make all the difference. Start building your email list now because, in the future, it will pay off exponentially.

Steps to Develop Your Overall Content Marketing Plan

To use content marketing and especially email marketing efficiently, it’s always better to have a plan. To create and develop your content marketing plan, there are some things you need to do and know to get it right. Let’s explore the ways you can set up your content marketing plan effectively.

marketing plan

  • Set Your Goals – Before you produce one piece of content, you really do need to understand the purpose of it. Set different goals for each promotion and for your business overall to help you figure out what to publish and where.

 

  • Know Your KPIs – The key performance indicators that help determine if your actions produce the results you want need to be spelled out. For example, if you publish a sales page for your freebie, who is it for, and what data will you use to determine if it’s working or not? Be specific.

 

  • Know Your Audience – You have seen this a lot, but it cannot be stated enough. Knowing your audience isn’t a one-time research opportunity. It’s ongoing. Remember that audiences change slightly over time. You would not market today to the same demographics the way you did in the 1950s or even the 1980s.

 

  • Understand Your Competition – How and when your competition does things is just as important as what you’re doing because it can help you identify gaps in coverage. This is the only way to make sure you stand out. Know them and find ways to differentiate yourself.

Reasons to Study Your Competition Carefully

  • Know Where You Stand Now and Where You Want to Go – Studying where you are now in your goals is the best way to figure out how to get where you want to go. Use analytics to help you set the standard you want to achieve.

 

  • Determine the Best Channels to Publish Your Content – The act of creating your plans will help you figure out a lot of information like where you’re going to need content published. For example, your blog, your email, social media platforms where your audience hangs out, and maybe some industry sites where you can guest blog might work for you.

 

  • Know the Types of Content You Need to Publish – When you create a plan to publish content, you’ll be able to choose the right messages to get your point across. It also helps identify areas you can repurpose content.

 

  • Find and Earmark Resources – Planning in advance also helps you budget better and find the resources, monetary and human, that you will need to be successful.

 

  • Create a Content Calendar – Once you have figured out what you’re going to do, don’t just have it in your head. Instead, create a content calendar so that you can follow a plan that gets a little done each day.

 

  • Create and Publish the Content – Once you have the plans, start creating and publishing the content. As you move through your plan, note the results, and keep going.

 

  • Advertise and Market the Content – Publishing isn’t enough today. You also need to actively market the content you’re going to create. Share it more than once via email, your blog, social media, and so forth.

 

  • Measure the Results – Data is your friend. Use it. Use whatever analytics you have native in your email marketing software and on your website to determine if what you’re doing is working or not.

 

  • Adjust and Repeat – Once you start implementing your plan, use the metrics to help you adjust your plans. Repeat what works. Let go of what doesn’t.

 

Content marketing, whether your business is online or offline, or both, is an essential component of any marketing plan today. You’ll need content in every aspect of your business from the external obvious sales pages, blog posts, and so forth to the internal information such as email messages, social media promotions, and even internal training for employees, contractors, and affiliates, or other stakeholders.

19 Traffic Generation Dos and Don’ts

In order to build fruitful lists, you need to figure out ways to drive more traffic to your landing pages and offers. There are many ways to get more traffic, but you want to avoid those that don’t provide targeted hungry customers because all traffic is not equal. You really want targeted traffic, not just any traffic.

Educate

  1. Don’t Just Start Adding Content Willynilly – Develop a content marketing plan so that the content you add has a reason for being. Design a content marketing plan that encompasses your blog, social media, and the entirety of your business so that it all works together.

 

  1. Do Add Content Regularly – Search engines want you to put a regular drip of content onto your website in order to keep your site updated. But it’s also suitable for engagement if you add content regularly. Of course, the content should be targeted and have a reason for being first.

 

  1. Promote the Content Everywhere – Once you publish content on your website or anywhere for that matter – whether it’s on your blog or a guest post, tell everyone about the content, so they want to read it. Send a link to your email list, send a link to your social platforms, and let people know.

 

  1. Don’t Skip Keyword Research – Keyword research helps build keyword-rich content that search engines will help your audience find, but it’s also helpful for getting content ideas in general that your audience will want to consume.

 

  1. Do Spy on Your Competition – One way to get good ideas for content is to spy on the content your competition is sending to their audience. If you share an audience, anything that they love there, they’ll want more from you too.

 

  1. Build Your Social Network – Don’t just focus on building followers on each social network. Also, focus on building a real network. Engage with your followers and create two-way conversations with them, and they’ll trust you even more.

 

  1. Cross-Promote Everything – Promote your blog on social, promote your social networks on your blog, promote it all in email, and vice versa. The more you promote each area, the more traffic you’ll get.

 

  1. Get Influencers Involved – Sometimes, it helps to get others with lots of traffic on your side. You can do this by engaging with influencers. The great thing is you can use a smaller audience influencer or two very effectively.

 

  1. Avoid SPAM – In the old days of content marketing, questionable solutions were developed, such as article directories, and so forth. Don’t use anything like that because it’s not going to send good traffic your way.

 

  1. Remember SEO – Search engine optimization, both on-page and off-page SEO, are needed to ensure your landing pages, website, blog posts, and more actually get the results you want.

 

  1. Know What You’ll Do with The Traffic – Before you write any content, create copy for a landing page, or even create a product or service (free or not), you need to know who wants it and why you want that traffic. What do you want the traffic or visitor to do when they come to that page?

 

  1. Check Your Numbers and Adjust – Always use analytics to ensure that what you think is working is indeed working. You really cannot tell the reasons for success if you’re not looking at the numbers. Adjust as needed and let go of things that don’t give you enough return on your investment.

 

  1. Keep It Simple – Don’t go nuts trying to trick the system. It really is easy to get traffic. Provide your audience what they want and tell them about it. It’s that easy.

 

  1. Don’t Expect Overnight Success – Email marketing is the most profitable and successful form of marketing that has ever existed, but it doesn’t produce results overnight. It’s going to take a few months or even years, but if you chip away at it daily, you will be very successful, and there is no reason you can’t have 1000 subscribers within four to six weeks if you do the things you need to do.

 

  1. Use Multiple Channels of Traffic – You need many channels for traffic as well as many entry points on your website to collect the information to turn visitors into leads.

 

  1. Focus on Value – The more value you can provide your audience, the more your content marketing will be successful. List building works when you are laser-focused on your audience and how you can serve them.

 

  1. Don’t Be Cheap – Using free services as well as not being willing to pay for ads or the tools needed to be successful is not going to advance your cause much. It’s okay to be budget conscious but don’t be cheap.

 

  1. Remember the Visuals – The visuals on your website are important too but remember that it’s not about what you like. It’s about what your audience likes. Test out various colors, types of images, and so forth and use what they like most. You can tell by conducting A/B testing and looking at the numbers.

 

  1. Don’t Skip Automation When It Works – Using automation is an important concept to grasp. Use automation for anything that doesn’t block or substitute authentic engagement so that you have more time for engaging with your audience.

 

Finally, focus on the type of traffic you want. Study your ideal audience and their buying journey so that you can get the information correct on your pages because then you’ll keep the right traffic on your site.

How to Drive Traffic to Your Landing Pages

Once you have a lead magnet, a landing page, and an opt-in form, you need to start building traffic to the freebie so that you can build your email list. Getting more traffic for a landing page is not really any different from how you get traffic for anything you do.

communication
content creation

 

  • Create Offers Your Ideal Audience Wants – The only way to make offers that your audience wants and needs is to get to know them. Study them. Engage with them. Survey them. Then put what they want right in front of them where they are.

 

  • Tell Your Current Subscribers About Your New Offers – Anytime you create a new offer, whether free or not, tell your current subscribers about it. This might seem counter-productive since you want to build your list, but it will keep your list healthy, segmented, and engaged.

 

  • Get Affiliates Involved – Set up your funnels with freebies that your affiliates can promote too. Show them what’s in the funnel, so they know it’s worth their while to promote your freebies too.

 

  • Send Out a Press Release – Tell the world about every single offer you have, including your freebies. If it’s newsworthy, it deserves a press release, and letting your audience grab a free solution is something they want to know about.

 

  • Host a Live Event – When you make the freebie available to the public, have a live event on Facebook Live or a webinar via Zoom or another preferred platform to help get the word out about your offer.

 

  • Include Smart SEO – The landing page and opt-in form for the lead magnet allow you to use excellent search engine optimization techniques that help pull traffic to your site via your audience searches.

 

  • Blog About Your Offers – Once you’ve finished your landing page or opt-in form, always write a blog post announcing your freebie offer linking to the landing page and opt-in form. Then you can share that blog post freely multiple times as you spread the word.

 

  • Share on Social Media – Share multiple times across all your social media platforms about the freebie. Don’t just share once and call it done. Instead, share multiple times during any launch and then repeatedly over time as long as it’s still a good offer. Use Hootsuite.com or other software to help automate this process.

 

  • Reach Out to Social Influencers – A fun way to get noticed is to work with social media influencers. Whenever you have a freebie offer for your audience, let the influencers know about it so they can promote it too.

 

  • Run Ads Via Social Media and Google – Don’t forget that you can speed everything up with targeted paid ads. Before you do that, consider hiring someone to help you ensure your targeting is working, as well as your landing pages and freebie are optimized for your audience.

 

  • Ask People Who Are Downloading to Share – Set up your download page to make it easy for your audience who downloads the freebie to share the opportunity with their friends.

 

Driving traffic to your landing pages is an essential element in marketing online. You can use a variety of methods to get more eyes on each page you create but don’t ever waste money just sending people to your home page. Use the time and money you have budgeted for marketing to send your visitors to specialized pages because you’ll build your list faster.

Create and Set Up Email Autoresponder Messages

Once you have created your freebie, you need to create and set up autoresponder messages based on that freebie and based on the goals you have for the people who downloaded that freebie. You can use these ideas to get started with ideas for your autoresponder series.

email

  • Thank You Email – Once your target fills out the form to get the freebie, they should receive an email right off that thanks them and gives them a link to the download page. If you have a good system that delivers the download right away, that is even better, but you still want to send the thank you page with another link to the download.

 

  • Get to Know Me Email – Once they’ve gotten on the list, it’s your chance to tell them more about you. Tell them about what you do, why you do it, who you do it for, and invite them to get to know you more by sharing your books, your blog, or other platforms where they can find you.

 

  • Get This Offer While It Lasts Email – Set up another message for the next day or in a day or two that gives them another offer based on what they downloaded. For example, if they’re trying your free trial, you may want to give them a chance to sign up now for a discount.

 

  • How’s It Going Email – You want to find out how they liked the freebie, so send an email asking them how it’s going and ask if they need any additional assistance. Invite them to a group of others who are using your advice to get more help. Ask your list member to reply to the email directly to get more help.

 

  • Here’s a New Blog Post Email – If you have blog posts relevant to the freebie, set up a message sending them to the relevant blog posts and information.

 

  • Do You Need Additional Help Email? – When they’ve had enough time to consume and use the freebie and form an opinion about it, send them an email offering additional help. Ask them for feedback. You can send an email or a survey for this one.

 

  • Cross Promotional Email – Let your subscribers know where you are on social media, what books you’ve written, or where you guest post, and so forth. The more information that you can provide about what you’re doing, the more they’re going to trust you.

 

  • The Next Offer Email – Don’t be afraid to make offers in email based on your list member’s behavior. The next offer in your product funnel is a good option, as are other affiliate products that relate or complement what you do.

 

  • A Great Product or Resource Email – Send your subscribers an email telling them about the products and services they need to be successful based on your niche. Use affiliate links to monetize this email and list. Hint: You can make this a stand-alone page on your site and just send them the link.

 

  • An I Want to Know More About You Email – Don’t forget to send an email asking them about themselves. You can ask one question, or you can send them a survey to get to know them more.

 

  • My Resource List Email – Send them an email telling them about your sources of products and services and so forth if it relates to them. For example, if you teach others to build an email list, send them a resource list of all the products you use with affiliate links to build your email list.

 

  • A Reminder Email – Send an email reminding them of why they downloaded the freebie, and where to get more information about their issues, and how they can solve their problems.

 

  • An Upsell Email – Make them an offer for the next level product or service you have in your funnel.

 

  • A Down Sell Email – If they don’t take you up on the bigger product or service, offer them something smaller.

 

The main thing is to send emails at least every day but make sure the emails are worthwhile and useful. If you send information to them that is not relevant, they are going to be trained not to open your emails. Make each email worthwhile to open, and soon they’ll be opening all your emails.

Lead Magnet Ideas You Can Use

An effective lead magnet must solve a real problem quickly for your ideal customer. They are usually very specific, easy to digest, and are considered to be high value. Plus, they demonstrate your expertise exceptionally well without risk to your ideal customer. The following lead magnet ideas can work for almost any niche.

downloadable ebook

Teach Your Audience Something

 

This is likely the simplest way to come up with a lead magnet if you don’t sell a product or software but works with those niches too. Set up a course in email that runs your ideal customer through education about their problem and the solutions that exist. A course can be in many formats. You can deliver it by email, put it on a platform like Teachable.com, or turn it into a PDF download.

 

Provide Your Audience a Useful Tool

 

A really fun freebie to offer your audience are tools that help them. For example, if you have a food-related website, you can create and offer a recipe app. If you help people lose weight and get healthy, you can create and offer an app that tracks food intake and exercise.

 

Build Your Community

 

This freebie idea is a big winner with socially based businesses. Set up a free group on a platform like Facebook Groups or DelphiForums.com and then only invite people to the group who ask after downloading the freebie or via automation due to them downloading the freebie.

 

Inspire and Entertain Your Audience

 

A perfect freebie excites your audience and makes them want to take the next step. It can be entertaining. For example, why not use an old talk you gave to a group or workshop as your freebie? Or give priority access to some users to private information that only they get to see?

 

Re-segment Your Current List Members

 

If you already have a dead list or a list that you don’t use much, sending them a freebie offer via email is a great way to segment your list further and reactivate the list members. For example, if someone joined your list due to a freebie you made, but they’ve not moved to a customer, try sending them a new one that is more targeted.

 

Cause Prospects to Become Customers

 

To move your audience from leads to prospects to customers, you need to provide the right content that captures their attention continually. Knowing where they are in their buying journey can inform the type of freebie you make for them. You should definitely consider making more than one freebie so that you can offer one to people at every stage of their buying journey.

 

Lead magnets can be PDFs, videos, webinars, reports, software, apps, transcripts, and more. You can use any of the content that you’ve already created to develop a lead magnet, or you can buy new content in PLR form to use. As long as the freebie addresses the targeted person and solves a problem for them quickly and efficiently, you will build your list better.

Design and Create Compelling Lead Magnets

Now that you have chosen your technology and you have all the things in place you need to get started building your email list, it’s time to design and create a compelling lead magnet that will attract subscribers.

 

Choose the Buyer’s Persona or Avatar You Want to Attract

 

Understanding your audience’s buying journey is imperative. You need to choose whether you want to attract people at the top of your funnel, middle of your funnel, or the bottom of your funnel. Maybe you want to teach people who have already bought from you something new and start marketing different things to them on a whole new level. It just depends on the goal you set for this lead magnet and who it’s meant for.

 

Know the Problem You Want to Solve for Them

 

Your lead magnet must solve a pressing problem for the customer that you’re trying to touch. The lead magnet should provide immediate value but can also provide long term value depending on the audience and the issue. The main thing is that you want to get them on your list, and you want them to be happy about it.

 

Name Your Freebie Using a Compelling Title

 

When you name your freebie, choose a name that is straightforward and tells the customer exactly what will be accomplished. This is not the time to try to be clever with words. Name the freebie based on what it does for your customers using action verbs and terms they understand and interests them.

 

Choose the Form the Lead Magnet Will Appear

 

Once you know what problem you plan to solve, it will inform the format the lead magnet should take. You can choose to use video, webinars, podcasts, PDFs, and more. The important part is to choose the form that your audience will most enjoy and use.

 

Create a Landing Page for Your Freebie

 

Once you know what you’re going to create, now you need to make a landing page. Use software like Leadpages.net to help you create a landing page, or you can simply make a new page on your site. A landing page is just a page devoted only to the thing you’re trying to promote. Some people love creating the landing page first, then create the freebie based on their promises.

 

Develop a Download Page for Your Lead Magnet

 

In addition to a landing page, you need to set up a download page so that your subscribers can access the freebie after they’ve double opted into your email list. A landing page is best because it brings people back to your site where you can attract them to more of your information.

Create the Lead Magnet or Hire Someone to Create It

 

 

When you create the lead magnet, realize that you can hire someone to make it too. You can also buy PLR or private label rights content to assist you in creating freebies, depending on the terms of service of the PLR you use.

 

Once you have finished creating it, get it on the download page and start marketing the freebie to your audience on social media, through paid ads, and even by sending it to your own email list that you have already. Write a blog post about it and share it with everyone so that you’ll get more people on your list. Whatever you do, don’t keep it a secret.

Common Mistakes When Choosing Autoresponders

Your email autoresponder is one of the most critical technologies that you’ll ever invest in outside of your website for your business because of the high ROI you can earn via email marketing, and it would be shameful to underestimate the importance of this one system for your entire business. Avoiding these mistakes will ensure your success with email marketing so that you can earn that 38 to 42 dollars return on every dollar you invest.

 

  • Not Knowing Your Goals – Yes, you want to build a list, but why do you want to build a list? Why do you want to get these people on your list? More than likely, it’s so that you can build a relationship with them that helps them choose to buy your products and services.

If you know your Goal

  • Focusing Too Much on Price – If you focus only on the price, you will miss out on the right technology that you need. Surely some are above your ability to pay for right now, but there is going to be something you can afford that works excellent for you, so first focus on functionality. But after that, narrow it down based on what you can afford.

 

  • Not Caring About Reputation – The services you choose need to have a top-notch reputation because it doesn’t take much to ruin the trust you have worked so hard to gain. If you choose a company that has a bad reputation, it’s going to rub off on you someday.

 

  • Not Reading the TOS – Each service has its own terms of service and rules that you must pay close attention to. You don’t own this platform, and they can easily cut you off with barely an explanation. Therefore, pick the right choice that allows you to do what you need to do with the software. For example, if you want to do affiliate marketing, don’t pick one that makes it hard.

 

  • Not Being Concerned with Deliverability – Some services have better records of deliverability than others. Read the fine print to find out. Test them out when you use their free version to find out if they’re telling the truth. Ask others who use the software if they have issues. Find out if they have a relationship with the email service providers that your audience uses.

 

  • Forgetting to Focus on Credibility – Each niche and industry has its preferred autoresponder services, so its credibility depends on the people using it. If people you respect are using that service, it’s likely a good one.

 

  • Not Testing the Interface – No matter how fantastic the service is, if you can’t figure it out, it’s not awesome. Choose the service that is easy for you to understand and learn or easy for your virtual assistant or service provider to use.

 

  • Ignoring the Availability of Important Analytics – Inside your autoresponder platform is analytics. Some systems offer more than others. Ensure the choice you pick has the information available that you need or a way to integrate other software to get it.

 

 

  • Not Paying for Your Choice – Many new business owners are fearful of spending money. But this is one case when you should not cheap out and use the free version, not even until you make money. Instead, give up something else so you can have the best software you can afford to buy and then get busy using it so you can get that return on investment fast.

 

When you choose your autoresponder and system that you want to use to build your email list so that you can get your first 1000 subscribers, you’re ready to get started, so don’t delay getting it started and set up. Remember that you need to create a business email to use your autoresponder as well as an address that will be included automatically on each email. It’s the law. You can get a virtual business address and phone number via sites like Rovva.com or Regus.com, and others. If you use self-hosted WordPress, you can create as many unique email addresses as you need via your website host.
