An Autoresponder A Landing Page Keep reading and I'll share 5 reasons to collect emails, 2 Free autoresponders, and landing pages to use. Plus exactly how to improve your landing page to convert prospects as fast as your ex finding a new relationship after a breakup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_tirKbBGHg 5 Reasons Why You Need to Collect Emails for Free Can contact someone over and over. When someone visits your webpage, social media profile, or your post when they leave you're probably never going to see them again. Sad right? People are busy! By collecting their emails, you have their permission to contact them weeks, months even years into the future! Cool right? Improves closing rate. Also, some people don't buy right away. Some people have to look at something a few times, even 7 times to make the purchase. Email allows you to show a product as many times as you want thus enabling you to close more of your hard-earned traffic. Can market multiple products. The third reason is you can market multiple products. As long as they are in the same niche and helpful. This reminds me of when I worked at the store "Best Buy" after someone purchased a computer, I could make their life easier by recommending things like a printer, ink, paper, a computer table, a mouse pad, a surge protector, and more. Plus, they didn't have to drive back to the store to buy the extra items! You could use this same approach with email! Try to make your reader's life easier and better. Give value! Can improve your social media. With email, you can also use it to promote your other accounts with followers, likes, views, and more. Collaboration An email also allows you to collaborate with other creators with list swaps. It's like if I promote your list and you promote my list. Two people win! Cool right? Improve your chances of getting accepted. Some affiliate programs can be picky! If you have a list it "may" improve your chances of getting accepted into the program. Plus, it does sound, SO cool right? Just say the words "I have a list." It's like an asset! via GIPHY 2 Free Autoresponders to Choose A wonderful free autoresponder is System HERE. You don't need a website or money. It allows you to create a landing page, collect emails, send emails out - do funnels and even whistles, and has bells dinging in the background. Ok, I was teasing about the bells and whistles part. This thing has everything. If you don't have a website or don't want a website I would recommend it! Another amazing free autoresponder is Sender HERE. The drawback is you need a website. The good news is you can send out more emails and have more subscribers in the long term. I recommend you have your own domain and website because you own it. You want to build a home on a solid foundation! If you build a business with a platform you don't own, then it's more risky!

You can use both for FREE for a very long time. 4 Tips to Make a Landing Page Convert A Free Gift Yes, a free gift bribes someone to join your list. You can create a landing page without a free gift, but you will get more signups with a free gift. Headline You want a strong headline to get attention. There are 2 ways to get attention... Promise something unbelievable. Scare someone to death and promise to fix it. I prefer the first option. Now it's important your headline is TRUE. You don't want a misleading headline, because this can hurt your trust in the long term. A long time ago I used to cold-called for an educational company targetting network marketers. The beginning pitch was "if I could show you a way to grow your business by 20-30 people a day, would that be worth 15 minutes of your time?" Here is the thing, people's time is valuable. If I had said "if I could show you a way to grow your business by 1 extra person a month" it probably would not be worth someone's time. The product was good, so a few people did grow their business by 20-30 people a day. Plus by having a strong headline, it shows you have confidence in what you're offering. Bullet Points A few bullet points highlighting the top benefits. Make it very simple! A Strong Call to Action Tell the reader exactly what to do! Don't leave anything to chance! You will get MORE signups if you tell your reader "exactly" what to do in detail. What is a Great Free Gift to Collect Emails? Anything that has perceived value can be used as a free gift. Here are some easy ideas... Checklist Maybe you're in the blogging niche you could do a 10-step checklist before starting a blog. Also, if you're stuck on ideas ChatGTP HERE can brainstorm a massive list and even give you ideas to put on your checklist. However, I recommend writing the content yourself, so it's more entertaining, and engaging and has that human element. Use ChatGTP as an assistant. Also, when you write content yourself you learn as well. Put them in a document, print it as a PDF and you have a free gift. For the free gift cover, you could use this free tool here. This tool HERE, makes it looker even nicer. Resource List This is a great one. Maybe it's the top websites you have found in your niche. It could be apps, tools, or any kind of resource that you feel is helpful. Cheat Sheet My favorite, sort of reminds me of cheating in school (the rebel in me). Maybe it's resources that enable writing easier. Such as for crafting emails or posting on social media. eBook eBooks have more uses than a cardboard box for a person stuck on a deserted island. Not only can they help grow a list, but you can put affiliate links inside and make more money. I created a guide that has more than 15 uses for an eBook and you view this guide for free by clicking on the link HERE. Workbook A printable workbook. It could be used to complete a task. Maybe you are in the home maintenance niche it could be a checklist of the top things that improve the value of a home. Swipe Files Maybe you're in the advertising niche. It could be a swipe file that people can use for headlines. The top headlines that have worked for you! A travel niche could be the must-see "unknown" secrets in a country. Just ask yourself what someone in your niche would want. What is something valuable that you can give them? I recommend making the free gift as valuable as possible. If someone doesn't join your list have nothing! 2 Secret Tips to Improve Your Landing Page Conversions 1 tip is to ONLY ask for the email. Don't ask for their name, number their favorite color. The fewer things you ask for, the higher the conversion rate will be. Don't make them jump through ANY hoops! You don't need their name - just their email. The second tip is to create a second gift and use it as a limited-time offer if someone signs up. This way if someone is on the fence, the FOMO (fear of missing out) might just push them over. Even if the conversion rate increases by 1% then it's still worth it. Traffic is hard to get, so you want to not waste it. For more landing page tips, I might have it for a limited time on this page HERE. I can't guarantee it's available because I have been known to pull it down and change it. Conclusion I hope this post gave you some ideas on why collecting emails is SO important. When I got started making money online 15 years ago, it was drilled into my head that the money was in the list. However, the money is also... What you do with the list. Having a list of email addresses means nothing. You have to convert that email list into money! This is where the REAL magic happens. Lucky for you I created a FREE guide that shows you exactly how to convert this email to cash in your pocket. You don't even need that much traffic if you know what you're doing.
