Experts tell us that are takes as many as 7-10 connections with a new potential client before the average one will purchase. What that means is that if you are just sending traffic to your web site without adding that traffic to your email list, you are probably losing most of the business you could be generating.

Use a squeeze page as an entry page into your site. What that means is that in order for your traffic to get into your site, they must give you their email and name. In exchange, you will send them a free ebook or free newsletter or free report, etc.

Sure, you will lose a few who will not offer their information, but you should capture info from most of the traffic you get. This way you can email them repeatedly until they purchase, rather than the one-shot opportunity you get with your current web page.

You must send them very useful and free information the first few mailings, and then send useful information regularly forever after that.

Don't send them a blatant sales message every contact you have with them. Give them many good reasons to continue to open your mail. Remember trust is very important. If they do not open your mail, they will not purchase through your email campaign.

In our hurry to get someone to buy something, we are constantly bombarding our email list with sales offers. Sure, you have to do it to get sales, but if you want to keep your list responsive, you must send them useful information, warm them up with a resell that tells them how well the product has worked for you. Things they can apply immediately.

Get them used to clicking through links in your emails. Offer free tools, a free report, and maybe a free e-book, but they have to click through to get them. Why? It gets them comfortable with your emails and with clicking. Then when you have a free trial you want to expose them to, they will click through on that, and you will make money.

This is a no-brainer---but it doesn't always happen---use the same sent-from address on all your email. Why? Because people open mail from YOU because they like and trust YOU. If they do not recognize your address they will not open your email.
