Connie, I’m impressed with your 1600 articles! Whew!

Kathleen and Shannon, your conversation about phones reminds me that my kids don’t know how to work a rotary phone. They saw one in a museum once. LOL

I’m looking forward to meeting Kristen and everyone at NAMS!

I agree with Ola! I’d be interested in a course like that especially if it was a bit more than just the basics.

Yes, yes. yes 🙂

Actually, any kind of training on how to use auto-responders successfully would be awesome.

Hi Kimmoy,

Hope you don’t mind me chiming in here 🙂

I have a few of those e-courses up and running. I start with the 7 days, followed up by 3 or 4 more messages after with additional tips mixed with some affiliate offers. Those messages are usually spread a little further apart (about a week or so).

From there I try to get them on some of my other lists, and add more content occasionally. Ideally you want them either on a list that you update regularly or continue to add messages to each ecourse list.

But since we don’t live in an ideal world, we just do what we can. Ask them to join your main list a few times (if you use aweber, you can have them automatically removed from the ecourse list when they join your main niche list), and then do what you can when you have the time to add more to the ecourse list.

I also like to do broadcasts to multiple lists (again, very easy with aweber … you just choose to include other lists in your broadcast).

I know that’s not a very clear answer, but hope it will give you some ideas.

I have been consistent with article marketing and Connie’s accomplishment of 1600 articles is VERY inspiring! I have a ways to go, but I’ll keep at it. All these ideas are all really great!

I am going to make sure each and everyone of them make it to my marketing calendar, consistently, through the rest of the year. Then I can look at what I have done and measure which I got the best results from. Great ideas here Nicole, thank you for sharing these expert briefs!!

I thought it was really funny that email marketing is considered old school lol. I believe wholeheartedly in the tried and true though so this was a great expert brief. I have a question about the e-courses, so after the 7 days or 30 days are up, do you still email your subscribers after on a regular basis or is it a “set-it and forget-it” type thing where you focus more on driving traffic there?

Thanks!

Kimmoy

Too funny! I guess I meant “old school internet marketing”. 🙂

I’m with you Shannon. I was thinking the same thing, “I must be really old if email marketing is old school.” LOL Seriously though, when I began my marketing career over 3 decades ago (yes, that’s how old I am) we used the phone. Yes, we actually picked up the device we would use with our hands. No hands free back then. Also, networking and word of mouth marketing are two of my favorite.
