EMAIL MARKETING: THE ART AND SCIENCE OF MAKING MONEY ONLINE WITHOUT A WEBSITE

There is a rising debate as to whether you can make money online without having a site, to the extent that some traditional belief on this is being challenged. The argument that you cannot make money on the internet without a site does not hold water anymore. Today with your e-mail which in most cases you can get free of charge, you can now make money online without a site. It is now possible for serious online marketers who are ready to put in the load of work required to make money online.


In this section, I am going to explain briefly how you can make money using your free email.



What are the things you need to make money through email marketing? You will need four essential things.



(i) An email Address.

(ii) Email List

(iii) A Product or Service

(iv) Internet ready computer or browse in a cybercafé.



How Do You Get Your Email?



If you’ve read my book from the beginning you will notice that this aspect has been covered. However, for reminder sake, you can sign up for free email at www.gmail.com, or www.yahoomail.com, or www.hotmail.com. The process is very simple, just click on “Sign up” link, feel the form, and submit the form. That is all; the next thing you shall see is a confirmation message telling you the status of your registration.



Having got the email address, the next thing you will need is email list or a list as it’s normally called on the internet. You must know that the secret of making money from your email is the list. And this is the reason that an average internet market will attest to the slogan; “money is in the list”. Here I will quickly tell you what is the list? How do you build your list? And how do you make money from your list?



A list is a data base of people you have built over the years, who have expressly agreed that you can contact them and share information with them anytime. To grow your list is not something you can do in a jiffy. You will have to take your time to build your list. This may take more time than you can imagine. But it is worth the salt at the end.



The next question, I will answer is how do you build your list. There are various ways through which you can build your list. The easiest one is the list you develop through classified Advert. You will offer prospects free valuable information in your Advert for you to be able to get their emails.



One good thing about using classified Advert is that it is one way of getting your prospect to raise up their hands amidst the crowd of people and tell you they are interested in what you have. Another easy way of building your list is to bring or rent a list from list brokers. This however, has a negative effect. The list may contain people who have no interest in what you are selling. Whatever way you follow, make sure you are very careful in sending your email so that you are not labeled spammer. If you are reader of Success Digest you will notice small, small adverts of 2” * 2” size that tell you to send your email or phone number or visit a site are typical examples of classified advert. I believe you understand it now. In the second part of this write up, I will show you how to make money with your emal.
