Did you know that you can set up email marketing systems, quickly and easily? And did you also know that if you don’t have one going, almost from day 1, that you have lost a bundle? It’s true. You’re totally missing the boat.

So, how do you construct one?

First, you need to get an autoresponder service. There are several to choose from, including AWeber, iContact, Get Response, Mail Chimp, and many others. Find one that has great deliverability because if the service doesn’t have that, nobody sees your messages, and it’s going to be a waste of your time.

After selecting your service, the next piece in the email marketing systems puzzle is creating a squeeze page. This HTML page is nothing more than a head line, three to five bullet points, and a web form to pull in people’s names and addresses. Once that’s completed, you upload it to a hosting service, which will be your next consideration.

As with autoresponders, hosting services are a dime a dozen online. Some are great. Some are foul. You want a great service at a reasonable price, and that shouldn’t be more than around $10 a month. You can find cheaper services, but they’re not always reliable. The service you choose, should be stable. Make sure they’ve been online a while. And check their up time percentage. If it’s under 99%, you should try another. Downtime isn’t just frustrating, it’s will be costly to your business!

Then, it’s a matter of driving traffic to your squeeze page. There are tons of great ways to do it, but blogging, article marketing, and forum postings are three free and easy ways to get started.

But before you drive traffic, email marketing systems need a series of follow-up messages. You should use these to bond with the people who signed up for your list. In the beginning, send them highly selective informational messages. Try to think of problems that people in your niche are having and offer solutions. You might include a P. S. at the bottom of each email to direct people to a product that solves the issue you wrote about, or you could just send a sales message for a product that applies to your niche every few messages.

That’s it! Once you have that set up and are driving traffic to your squeeze page, you’ll be building your list and people will get your messages on a regular basis, even while you sleep. Email marketing systems are the best and easiest way to make your business work on autopilot. For more information on getting yours rocking from the start, visit us at http://OvercomeEverything.com.
