Blog Via Email
Debbi BresslerI recently talked to a friend of mine who is involved in affiliate marketing and recently started promoting a weight-loss product. One of the ways he was building his list was by calling or instant messaging friends, co-workers and acquaintances asked if they would help him be accountable to his workout schedule by receiving an update email from him. He told them that he felt he would stick to his plan if he knew he had to email them a few times a week with an update on his workouts and weight loss.
Many agreed. They are now getting updates, as well as consistent, low-key ads for his products. His emails are very personal and newsy and remind me a lot of blog posts.
You can do the same. People love to look over the shoulders of others. Pick an interesting topic related to your niche and offer visitors the opportunity to be in on your frequent updates. Keep them involved in your successes, failures, and what you have learned along the way.
Just keep in mind that any promotion should be very low key. Do not pepper your email with links; you want this to look like a personal (by-invitation-only) email exchange.
