This week I’ve spent a lot of time reading ebooks on cultivating a list and how to interact with them, since this is something important and I really need to learn this before I can improve my business. 

I’ve also been learning how to use Skype and talking with other marketers that knew Barry and getting tips from them.

AllForMartha.com is coming along slowly but it will happen.  I guess I needed to reach out sooner but I’m basically a shy person and since I don’t know much about Internet Marketing, I didn’t know who or what to ask.  But if I can keep from feeling overwhelmed by all this, I think I will do ok.  I’m basically a Newbie with an established business and now I need to find a way to keep this going.  Barry worked too hard to just let it go.

Jvme.com has been a good place for me to have joined.  I’m getting to know some of the marketers and they are getting to know me also.  Barry’s name is now just a stepping stone, now I’ve got to get my name and face out there and that is hard for me to do, but I am trying.

 

 

Have you often wished that there was
an easier method for you to drive huge
amounts of traffic to your blog?

Sadly, the more common methods of
blog traffic generation such as article
marketing, social networking, SEO etc
all require much effort, work and time.

As such, most bloggers are often left
very frustrated.

The truth is, there is another little known method
that smart bloggers use, which is to submit
their blog articles to blog carnivals.

If you have not heard of blog carnivals, these
are authority sites which are a major source of
traffic flow.

Before today, submission to blog carnivals
itself is still a time-consuming process.

But the good news is, right now, there is a
brand new breakthrough software
that allows you to submit many articles to
hundreds of blog carnivals at one go.

With just a few clicks of the mouse,
Blog Carnival Submitter allows you to submit
multiple articles to any amount of blog carnivals
you choose with just a few clicks of the mouse

http://tinyurl.com/n98x74

This means, even if your blog was just created
one day ago, it can receive huge instant
traffic and baclinks just by using this
powerful piece of software.

You really need to check it out yourself
to see what the software can do for you.

Best of all, during its introductory period,
this breakthrough tool is priced at a very
low price!

So don’t hate yourself for missing out!

Ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to subscriber inboxes is an increasingly difficult battle in the age of spam filtering. Open and click thru response rates can be dramatically affected by as much as 20-30% due to incorrect spam filter classification.

 

Permission

Confirming that the people who ask for your information have actually requested to be on your list is the number one step in the battle for deliverability. You should be using a process called confirmed opt-in or verified opt-in to send a unique link to the attempted subscriber when they request information. Before adding the person to your list they must click that unique link verifying that they are indeed the same person that owns the email address and requested to subscribe.

Subscriber Addresses

When requesting website visitors to opt-in ask for their “real” or “primary” email address instead of a free email address like Yahoo or Hotmail. Free emails tend to be throw away accounts and typically have a shorter lifetime than a primary ISP address.

List Maintenance

Always promptly remove undeliverable addresses that bounce when sending email to them. An address that bounces with a permanent error 2-3 times in a 30 day period should be removed from the list. ISP’s track what percentage of your newsletters bounce and will block them if you attempt to continually deliver messages to closed subscriber mailboxes.

Message Format

Usage of HTML messages to allow for text formatting, multiple columns, images, and brand recognition is growing in popularity and is widely supported by most email client software. Most spam is also HTML formatted and thus differentiating between requested email and spam HTML messages can be difficult. A 2004 study by AWeber .com shows that plain text messages are undeliverable 1.15% of the time and HTML only messages were undeliverable 2.3%. If sending HTML it is important to always send a plain text alternative message, also called text/HTML multi-part mime format.

Content

Many ISP’s filter based on the content that appears within the message text.

Website URL: Research potential newsletter advertisers before allowing them to place ads in your newsletter issues. If they have used their website URL to send spam, just having their URL appear in your newsletter could cause the entire message to be filtered.Words/phrases:Choose your language carefully when crafting messages. Avoid hot button topics often found in spam such as medication, mortgages, making money, and pornography. If you do need to use words that might be filtered, don’t attempt to obfuscate words with extra characters or odd spelling, you’ll just make your messages appear more spam like.Images:

Avoid creating messages that are entirely images. Use images sparingly, if at all. Commonly used open rate tracking technology uses images to calculate opens. You may choose to disable open rate tracking to avoid being filtered based on image content.

Attachments:

With viruses running rampant and spreading thru the usage of malicious email attachments many users are wary of attached documents. It’s often better to link to files via a website URL to reduce recipient fear of attachments and reduce the overall message size.

 

CAN-SPAM Compliance

The January 2004 Federal CAN-SPAM law introduced a number of rules regarding the delivery of email. It’s important you have your legal counsel review your practices and ensure you are in compliance. The two most important rules include having a valid postal mail address listed in all commercial messages and a working unsubscribe link that is promptly honored to remove the subscriber from future messages.

Reputation

Reputation services are often used by large ISP’s as a way to vet email senders regarding their email practices and policies. Businesses listed with these services are then given less stringent filtering or no filtering at all. Several reputation services are:

• http://www.isipp.com/iadb.php
• http://www.bondedsender.com
• http://www.habeas.com

Relationships & Whitelisting

Contact with major ISP’s and email providers is essential in letting them know about your requested subscriber email. Many large providers such as AOL and Yahoo have specific whitelisting programs and postmaster website areas to ensure your email is delivered as long as you meet their policies and procedures in handling your opt-in list.

Email deliverability is about ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to the intended recipient. While no single tip will enable you to get 100% of your email delivered each one utilized as a group can go a long way to reaching that goal.

 

Since Barry’s sudden death and me not having enough knowledge of the part of our business that Barry ran, it has been a struggle to make ends meet.  In July I lost our car and I am in danger of losing our house.   I’ve also talked to a bankruptcy lawyer in order to save it.

Barry made very good money, we did not over extend ourselves because we were both careful with our money but this is the situation I have found myself in and I’m scared of loosing everything we worked for and of having no place to live.  Without a place to live I won’t be able to continue working online and I haven’t been able to find a job outside the house either but I continue to look.  I am not lazy it is just taking me some time to understand all that Barry was doing and then learning and understanding all about being an Internet Marketer. 

Please look at AllForMartha.com and see if it is something you would like to be a part of.

 

Today was one of those days where I couldn’t sleep the night before so I’ve been up since yesterday morning.  Worry about work, bills, etc.  I joined jvme.com the other day and early this morning I posting in my blog there about needing help and those wonderful Internet Marketers have come to my rescue again.  Barry made some very good friends in this field and I really appreciate them so much.  Because I know I would not have known where to even start if it wasn’t for them.  Most of them are complete strangers to me but they weren’t to Barry and that friendship has carried over to me…who says there aren’t kind, helpful people around anymore.

They needed me to write a Bio of mine and Barry’s life together and even though I thought it would not affect me writing about our life together, it is starting to get to me now.  I haven’t cried over this situation in a few weeks, too busy I guess  but the lack of sleep is making me a bit emotional and I just reading  what I wrote for AllForMartha.com and looking at Barry’s sweet face started to get to, so much that I had to close the page.  So here I am writing about it instead of crying about it LOL  I also started using Skype today, well at least my brain is getting a good workout these last few months.

It is almost 8 pm here and I got me a nice cold beer and now I’m just relaxing.  Hopefully I will be able to sleep well tonight but with me sleep is not something I’ve ever done well and now that Barry is gone, it has gotten worse.  But hopefully in time as I get use to Barry not being around my sleep pattern will go back to “normal”, well normal for me anyway.

I know some days I feel like I can’t go on trying to figure all this out but what choice do I have, it is my business now and Barry worked really hard to build a good reputation of his name and our business so I can’t let him down nor those that have come to expect a certain standard that Barry gave to our customers.  I will not give up and I will do my best to keep his good name, especially since now it is my name also on the line.

Please remember to spend time with your loved ones, tell them that you love them and never take them for granted because you never know how long you or them are going to be around.  I miss my “Bear” so much!

 

Barry’s Internet Marketers friends are doing something very kind and unselfish to help me, please check it out and bookmark it as it is a work in progress right now.

thank you,

Martha

I’ve read a lot of things since having to take over our business, but this is broken down in such a way that makes total sense to me about the purpose of sending emails and how to deal with my lists.  This might be old news for some of you but for those like me that are new at this, this is great. 

How To Build A *MASSIVE* List Fast!

Once you have your opt-in page (or box) sorted, and an
autoresponder ready to go, there is still more that
you can do in order to actually encourage a higher
opt-in rate. To put it simply: If you want more people
to join your list, give them a good reason to want to
join your list.

Incentives are the name of the game, and they can come
in many shapes or sizes. Give your visitors something
of value, and something that could even possibly
assert your authority in the niche. For instance, a
free report regarding some issue that is faced by many
of your visitorswould no doubt be of value to them,
and at the same time, by writing one and helping them
out, you’d be establishing your reputation as a trusted
source of help and information.

If you don’t just want to hand out reports, there are
other ways to go about this too. Free newsletters, free
one-month memberships (if you run a membership website),
free PLR articles or software… the possibilities are
pretty much endless. As long as it is something that
pertains to the niche that you’re marketing to, then
you’re on the right track.

Another equally good way to build up lists is to make
an affiliate program out of one of your products. If
you are willing to give out a large proportion of the
profits, and the product is one that is known to sell
well, then you’ll easily get tons of affiliate
marketers to promote it for you. That way, all these
affiliates will be sending you traffic and subscribing
to your list as they buy your product.

Interesting Note: Building a list in this way is
actually a very attractive option because it creates
a list of already ‘proven buyers’, as opposed to
people just opting in to get a free report.
