Autoresponders – Trust Me, I’m A Business Marketer

As spam gets more and more prolific and people get more fed up with their in boxes being bombarded, then it gets harder to prove that your emails are important. You, however have a list people who have subscribed to your ezine or mailing list in order to learn more about your business and products. They are expecting to make this worthwhile – and you in exchange want to profit from all your hard work. So how do you build trust with your existing and potential subscribers?

Permission: Always, always, always get permission. The first part of trust building is to offer a quality item or information in exchange for this permission and deliver this item promptly.

Assurance: Provide assurance on your sign up form or page that you will not sell or misuse their details. Tell them what you will do with their details and keep to that. Have contact details and a privacy statement readily found on your web site. People trust those that respect them privacy and the value of their contact details.

Legitimate Business: Demonstrate that you have a viable and legitimate business. Give you business name, address and contact details.

Expertise: Demonstrate that you know what you are talking about and are an established presence within your market. Get published – using articles on quality article sites. Give clear proof on your web site and in your messages that you know about your subject. Offer to answer questions etc.

Be Truthful: Don’t over hype your business or your products. If you recommend some other people’s stuff then make sure that you have tried them first. The more satisfied customers you get the more people will recommend you. Recommendations are great because these people are easier to sell to.

Don’t Trap People: Make people feel comfortable by giving them a way to unsubscribe. Similarly provide guarantees on your products. This makes people feel more confident in dealing with you.

Lastly treat your subscribers with respect and as the precious business resource that they are. Good Luck!

My entry My entry - 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read - this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody. 2. The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto. 3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
Autoresponders! Autoresponders! - Great suggestion Stephen! I use Awebber for my newsletter system and find that it's a pretty good system and very price effective.

Re: Welcome to Entrepreneur University! Re: Welcome to Entrepreneur University! - Andy C. responding to your question. I;ve been with Ilearningglobal for a few months. I went down to their corporate office to check it out, and at their Launch Conference in March. Amazing company, first class executives running the company, and the Faculty are the best of the best in the world. I personally met Brian Tracy, Dan Clark, Bill Bartman etc. Simply great individuals. As Brian Tracy says, "Learn from the experts, you'll never live long enough to learn it all yourself" If you join as a Preferred Customer for $79.95, the Marketer who's website you signed up through, will earn a commission. If all you want is the Basic Membership, it's $79.95. In order to earn commissions you need to be a Marketer. It is a one time $20.00 to be a Marketer. For the $20 you receive: 1) Your own personal replicated website for marketing ILearningglobal. ( as people join, they are linked to you) 2) Provided with your own back office website to manage your business ( tracks your commissions, shows your customers & marketers etc. in your group) 3) Access to tools and training by ILearninglobal All for just $20. Every month thereafter, just your Membership of $79.95 qualifies you for commissions as people join. Where can you operate a global business, with a huge potential for so little. Andy C.
