You’ve worked hard on getting your autoresponder system set up. You’ve crafted wonderful emails to go out to your list on certain days, depending up the time of sign up. You’ve built your list and now you are sitting there wondering what now.

Why isn’t anyone opening the emails? When they do open them why aren’t they clicking on anything? There could be many issues to consider. Below are a few thoughts that may get your subscribers to read and take action on your email.

1. Educate your subscribers –Tell new subscribers exactly what is going to happen. Educate them on what to expect from joining your list. Tell them how often they will hear from you, the email address they should white list, and any other information you think that will inform your subscribers on what to expect from you. Then stick to it.

2. Segment your list – Nothing is worse than getting the same emails over and over again, about a product you already bought. Eventually you set up a rule to just automatically delete the emails, or you unsubscribe from the list, right?

If you segment your list better you will avoid this problem. You will be able to target your email copy right to the people you want to, based on which list they are on. The great thing is, that it’s simple to set up these rules in your autoresponder.

3. Have a call to action – You really do need to tell people what to do. What action to take. Click here now to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Don’t miss out! This offer only lasts three more days! You get the idea. If you don’t ask for the sale, you’ll rarely get it. So ask. Just be nice about it.

4. Personalize subject lines — Today you can personalize your subject lines in your emails with your subscribers name as well as the name of your topic of the newsletter. This is a great thing to do, because your email will stand out from the other generic "sent to all" emails that your subscribers get by the hundreds.

5. Call out inactive subscribers — I don’t mean to yell at them, but specifically mention inactive subscribers and tell them what they are missing by not participating, reading, or buying your product. Ask them how you can do better, tell them you value their feedback and ask for their feedback.

6. Sensationalize subject lines — Create subject lines that are different from your ordinary subject lines that mention something personal, or speak directly to the targeted segmented list and you will see more opens, and hopefully if you’ve worded your email right, more action.

7. Test.Test.Test — You’re probably learning that in this Internet marketing world you must test, evaluate, and test each campaign again. This includes your email marketing to your subscribers, whether they are prospects or clients. If something is not working, or not working good enough, change one small thing, then evaluate it again. Eventually you will hit upon the secret sauce that makes your PayPal account really happy.

• Related Blogs on Ten Tips For Getting Traffic Through Social Media

You’ve experienced firsthand how difficult getting traffic can be. One area that most people tend to just give a cursory glance, when they really should be putting laser-sharp attention, is keyword research. Proper keyword research can increase both the amount of traffic you’re getting, and the quality of the traffic itself.

Here’s how.

How Most People Do Keyword Research:

Most people think of a market they want to get into, and type it into the Google Keyword Tool to see if they’re going to get much traffic. If the answer is ‘yes’, they generally just get going right then and there.

That is far too little time spent on the most important aspect of an online business.

Your keyword research is like your foundation. Did you know that to build a building ten stories high, you generally have a foundation about ten stories deep as well? The same should apply to your keyword research.

Your keyword research is what everything else in your business is built on. If you select a poor base keyword, chances are you won’t get much traffic at all. Even if you do get traffic, you may not make any money. This is a decision that affects everything else in your business.

The amount of time, effort and precision you put into keyword research should reflect that.

How Great Keyword Research Can Help You Dominate Your Competition:

Picture these two examples.

Example 1: Bob decides to by and large skip the careful keyword research that I’m recommending here. Instead, he plunges straight ahead into building his website. Unfortunately, the keywords he was hoping to rank for is so competitive, that he soon loses steam and never makes any money from this project.

Example 2: On the other hand, Elsie goes through the process of carefully doing her homework. She’s in a relatively competitive market, but begins to build her business by targeting well selected keywords with far less competition.

She begins getting traffic from these keywords and making a little bit of money right away. Backed by the encouragement and money she’s making from her initial traffic, she continues to build her website and her traffic.

Over time, she works her way up to targeting higher and higher traffic keywords, pulling in traffic most website owners can only dream of.

Both of these examples are very common. It’s no exaggeration to say that keyword research can make or break your business. How much time or attention should you put into selecting the right keywords? The answer is as much as it takes.

Now that you know just how critical keyword research really is, the next step is to learn the keyword research process inside and out.

Then apply what you know and reap the benefits.

So you’ve gone through all the hard work of creating a website or blog – congratulations! You put in some content, added your product links or affiliate links, and got a really cool header banner made, and you’re ready to start making money.

But now what do you do? How do you get the traffic you so desperately need? And most of all… how do you get the traffic for FREE?

Here’s a list of my favorite free traffic sources:

Article Marketing – Start writing articles and submitting them to the article directories, especially Ezine Articles. Don’t forget to add your keywords in the title and the article without "stuffing" it. Make sure your bio is attention-grabbing and has a call to action.

Tip – Keep track of where your articles go by using Google Alerts. If you see they are being published routinely on a well-ranked blog, ask the site owner if they would like to have you send your articles directly to their inbox whenever you write one.

Blog Posting - Write and post, write and post, and include your keywords for SEO purposes. It may be hard to do this routinely, but you will reap the rewards if you do. Blogging is a great platform for affiliate marketing because you can do product reviews as well as quality posts, that help establish a relationship of trust and brand you as an expert.

Twitter – Every time you send an article to EZA they can tweet the title and a link to it. Ditto with sending an autoresponder email through AWeber, or adding a picture to TwitPic. If you build up your targeted followers, Twitter is a very beneficial free traffic resource.

Yahoo Answers – This is a great way to not only get traffic, but you can strut your stuff as an expert. Simply find questions in your area of expertise and give value-packed answers. Add your link as the reference material.

Guest Blogging – If you can write an interesting and value-filled post, then consider offering your services to some high-ranking blogs, in exchange for being able to add your site link to your post. Again, this won’t cost you any money and can bring lots of people to your site.

Tip – Don’t try this with the Gurus, unless you already know them personally. Ask marketers you’ve established relationships with, and know that summer is when they’re most willing, and in fact eager, to have a guest blogger post for them.

Forums – Search for forums in your niche and join the ones with the most traffic. Answer questions, give feedback and become useful in these forums. Be sure to add your link in your signature line, if they allow it. People will build a relationship with you, see that you know what you’re talking about, and visit your site.

It’s important with any of these resources to be legitimate and not spam people. Before you jump into a new arena, read the rules! Then take a look around and get a feel for what is acceptable (the unwritten rules.) If you come across as too pushy or spammy, you’ve done yourself much more harm than good.

Sometimes it seems as though the only thing that’s constantly on the lips of every marketer is, "Video Marketing!" Certainly, over the last few years the amount of interest shown in this particular type of marketing has been on the rise, and there are a number of reasons why this is the case.

Knowing these reasons will help provide you with a solid foundation, when you decide to start to try your hand at Video Marketing.

Frankly speaking, there are two broad reasons why video marketing is on the rise. First, and most obviously, is the fact that videos are distinctly better than text. at conveying messages, images, and even audio. Of course, with video you have audio too – and you have images that actually move. You can have text too, if you want it, but in short, videos take the best of all worlds!

Apart from the simple advantages that videos have to offer, the main reason why video marketing is on the rise now, as opposed to many years ago, is the fact that people in general have faster internet connections than they previously did. Do you remember when most people connected to the internet at 14.4 kbps? 28.8 kbps? Do you remember when 56k was considered amazingly and stunningly fast?

Today, the internet has come a long way from those days of old. Back then, the idea of streaming videos was nothing more than a pipe dream and would take hours and hours. However, When broadband entered the picture, all of this began to change. With download speeds 100 times faster than previously, people rarely (if ever!) have to wait for videos to stream. Instead, they can simply view each video then and there.

In short, it’s only recently that the technology actually made using videos a viable prospect. These technological advancements are now so widespread, that it’s safe to say that the majority of people who use the internet, are doing so at a speed that is fast enough to allow them to stream videos. Granted, there are still those who do not have access to such speeds – but those numbers are now small enough that marketers no longer have to worry about using videos.

Over the last few years, videos have become a widespread online phenomenon. One needs only look as far as YouTube and the stunning popularity it has received, to see just how many people love to watch videos online. If you give people what they want, i.e. videos that entertain, excite, and appeal to them, then you’re going to be able to do what every marketer longs to do.

One of the most powerful video marketing courses available that shows you how you can drive floods of hungry traffic from the most popular video sites to your site and convert them from video viewers into wallet waving customers. If you have an online business you cannot afford to ignore the power of video marketing and Video Assassin will help you make the most of this opportunity.
