Ask any experienced marketer - email marketing is a proven and solid approach to make a full-time income on the internet.
Easy and simple: you regularly email people who have signed-up to hear what you have to say. Your email contains marketing message that refers to some product, then you show them how they can get it. You're probably guessing right that something so effective must have a lot going on behind the curtains than most understand, or know. If you've never tried selling anything, it does consume a lot of effort and time to do it. But after you've laid the groundwork, it's different and a whole new world of possibilities opens-up to you.
Let's talk more about what email marketing is and can do for your business success.
Where possible, try to include all of the relevant parts of your message in text. Consider how many people try to block images or coding within emails these days to try and avoid spammers or hackers. If you try to put sections of your marketing in images or behind code, then it's likely they'll be blocked. In fact, by sending emails that contain too much code or too many images, they could be rejected by servers as being spam and never reach the people on your mailing list at all. Spam filters are notorious for marking certain messages as spam because of certain words in a subject line that may trigger it; as a result, there are many internet marketers that are spreading the bad advice of using misspellings to bypass this. This should not be the case for you if you've built up a good list of people and are selling and promoting legitimate products and services. The funny thing is that the spam filters will probably mark one of these "disguised" subject lines as spam quicker than one that is not misspelled or contains characters to hide its intent. Put yourself in your subscribers position; would you want to receive spammy looking e-mails.
You need to be up front about the items or services you are selling. Those on the internet are used to promotions. They are already prepared for you to tell them that you have the best offer in the world. There aren't any guarantees or wondrous claims you can make that they cannot see through. This is why you need to be honest about the products that you sell. If you sell anything to make a buck, people will simply opt out of your list. If you are honest about the products on your list you will build your reputation and people will be more likely to trust and buy from you in the future!
You can make significant profit through email marketing if you do it properly. There is more to this type of selling than simply sending out an e-mail every day telling people to buy stuff. This type of selling is an art form and you need time to learn how to do it. If you are prepared to put in the effort and time needed, then you can make quite a bit of money as an email marketer. Good luck!
