You are new to network marketing, and no one is buying your products. Your social media profiles look like an infomercial with no likes and no comments.
You are an affiliate marketer. This means you are connected to a company and selling their products to get paid a commission.
In the beginning, you are not sure what you need to focus on the most to make sales. There are dozens of ideas and suggestions that you get to choose to do.
9 out of 10 people make the biggest mistake in chasing people for sales; not only are they chasing people, but they also are not collecting their information to stay in touch with them.
Which makes business harder in the long run.
We have all done it. Starting an email list is one more task to learn and one of the most valuable business tasks to perform.
If you are posting and praying on social media, you don’t have any way to measure who has seen your content, read it, opened it, or is even interested.
With an email list, you have analytics to see the effects of your content. Another reason I like to use LinkedIn is for the analytics to view the reach.
Typically, you sign up with a company (affiliate), jump on social media, start posting how excited you are and copy cat sharing pictures of results before and after. You even share your affiliate link, which takes people to the affiliate company’s website.
In the meantime, you have no idea how many people clicked the link, went through the link, or even purchased because you have no tracking set up.
Therefore, you feel like nothing is happening. Plus, you send all the traffic to the affiliate company’s website.
In the process, people will always get disconnected from you, the person who shared the link with them initially – they become someone else’s customer.
It is a disappointing process, and it makes people quit.
Setting up an email list changes the marketing game.
I know you are rolling your eyes and telling me that you don’t have time to build one; it is too hard, you don’t want to learn one more thing.
Let me tell you what is hard…No results is hard.
When you set up an email list now,
- You have a tracking system;
- You have a method to follow up
- Plus multiple revenue opportunities.
- You are building an asset to your business that YOU own and control.
- You make more money.
How does this work?
You create a freebie. It can be as simple as a PDF or as complicated as a three-day video series like this one.
You make an opt-in form
Which adds people to your list.
Some people will opt-in for the freebie only, and others will purchase your next offer. Either way, you can now communicate with someone who gave you permission to email them.
1) Meet 10 new people/day
2) Create 1 new piece of content/day
3) Write to your list every day
