7 Steps to Jumpstart your Email Marketing Campaign, Build a Responsive Email List & Make More Sales Faster!
According to Digital Marketer, the average adult receives 147 emails a day! Means someone somewhere has crafted an email marketing campaign and hopes you are gonna take their desired action. If that person is you, what are you doing to stand out in my inbox?
Following our Split Testing post, we’ve had a few questions on how to kick-start an Email Marketing Campaign and Build a responsive list, so we are sharing the lessons we’ve learnt on proven email marketing tips!
In this post we share our 7 steps to jumpstart your email marketing campaigns, so you get more opens and clicks! An email marketing strategy for building e-mail lists or newsletter marketing as it’s called by some, that enables you to reach more people, make a bigger impact and more sales! You will see that your email marketing campaigns have a lot to do with your success rates. So why do you need to kick-start your email list and what does it mean for you? It means that you can;
- Attract more subscriptions, sales and customers
- Create Brand Ambassadors who are repeat clients
- Promote affiliate programs that you believe in and earn lots of commissions
- Fill your webinars, tele-seminars and training programs
We cannot emphasize enough that kick-starting your email marketing campaign today is your journey to creating residual income. Literally akin to being the recipient of compound interest. So the sooner you create a funnel that works for you the better.
FIRST, forget the much bandied about saying that; “the money is in the list.” Excuse our Greek that’s BS. The fact is; the longer you grow and nurture your list, build relationships of trust with the PEOPLE and offer them the solutions to their problems, the more profitable your email list will be period. SIZE DOESN’T MATTER.

Diane Hochman an internet marketing Rockstar, admitted on a live webinar that her list is just over 4K+ and she makes sales over and over again from said list. Yet we know a man with an over 100k list and he bashes that list with offers on a daily basis and he isn’t getting as much traction. We bet you would like to know how Diane make such sales? Well its the same program we use to generate 10+ leads per day you are gonna Love this Short 2 minute video right here!
Well today you’ll learn how to:
- Kick-start your E-mail list even if you’re just starting to build one of haven’t even thought of it.
- Rekindle and reconnect with your existing subscribers if you aren’t getting much reaction from them.
- You’ll learn 3 action steps to building a Super E-mail List.
Unfortunately, we see lots of home business owners and online marketers who haven’t yet decided to focus on creating viable email marketing campaigns, or build on your existing e-mail list. Many are too busy or overwhelmed with “putting out fires” and working IN their business instead of ON in. Man it doesn’t matter how many fires you put out, if you aren’t building your network and creating residual income, your business will fizzle out!
Using some of the tactics we’ve learnt over almost 4yrs now, to grow our list from 200 to almost 6k. And this year we are on track to double this figure…
You’ll be able to reach more people all over the world and make a bigger difference with your message as well as make $1,000’s just by sending an e-mail. That’s what we do and what we want for you, our audience, clients, partners, friends and community! That’s why we always say “You deserve more”
Well in order to be able to craft a profitable email marketing campaign…
#1 You Need an Attraction and Follow Up System
Now we have been shouting it from the rooftops that in order to build your online business like a pro you need email marketing tools. And as a blogger you definitely need a Customer Relations Management system (CRM) or an email marketing service to collect those contact details and be able to follow up effectively. We use Aweber and highly recommend it.
With Aweber you can create a simple website landing page or capture/squeeze page in 5 mins flat, to which you drive traffic. Once someone subscribes to your list the work begins. This is because it’s been proven that the average conversion rate on a sales/squeeze page, is between 1% – 3%. The relationship building work and the moolah is in the follow up.
First you gotta be comfortable with others following up with you too…that’s how you attract the same! Most Online marketers hate receiving follow up emails and complain it grumble about them. They go about throwing suspicion on every one who reaches out to them online lol. Could this be you? You know that “in most free offers there is an upsell or sidesell!” And hello, you are doing the same so why not check out what others are doing. Put aside that resistance you feel, look with an open mind and see how their follow up message is crafted. Does it pull at your heartstrings? You could learn something….
[bctt tweet=”“As a marketer you know that In most free offers there is an upsell or sidesell!””]
Follow up is important for developing rapport and get people to LIKE and TRUST you, this takes TIME & skill. Having a done for you strategic follow up and rapport building system can create predictable and measurable results for your business, for this you could use email marketing tools we mentioned a few in our Split Testing Post!

People connect more with a personal experience than facts or statistics. Paul and I used to be the official, corporate, facts kind of people. Heck we believed that our life was meant to stay private…how wrong we were!
Until we learnt a system that taught us how to share our story in a way that people relate to and yet not too intrusive. This system is right here for you too, I believe this is your year & some things need to change in your system, So be the change you seek!

Great tips as always! I actually just sent out my very first email to my subscribers. I don’t want to get too spam-y by emailing them all time, but I also want to stay on the forefront of their mind. Any tips on finding the balance?
Hi Roxy,
Its important to share with your subscribers your successes, dont worry how small. Someone out there is looking up to you.
Share your struggles and HOW YOU OVERCAME them…again same as above.
Share at least min of 3 times a week. My mentor emails his list daily…he has over 150k subscribers…Lol so he is not really fussed about numbers.
Remember how you start is how you must continue, so if you email them daily you cant all of a sudden email them once a week…you will be forgotten.
Build on that relationship top of your priorities. Build LIKE and TRUST.
Go get em!

This is so true:
The money is NOT in the #emaillist its in Your Relationship with The People! #emailmarketing
I really don’t like the term the list. I really don’t. Its not a list its real people! Treat them like it.
Product floggers really annoy me & every time i get a post with such things happening I just delete, report spam, & unsubscribe.
Lead with value. Give people something that can benefit what they’re trying to learn. AFter all they’re taking the time, making the investment, to come to your site & read your content & then to opt into something you’ve put together only for you to spam them? makes absolutely NO SENSE.
I like this write up. Makes great sense. Good job Julie.
Hi Sam,
We feel your angst against spammers! Unfortunately even the so called very best of Trainers Can be spammers. Not mentioning names but a very well known Brand in Online marketing started spamming my inbox with all kinds. I lost respect for them and unsubscribed! We gotta flog our products at some point thats for sure but there is a way and style that leave the other person feeling good about it too!
Yes We are people and we are on someone’s list. Somehow its the lingo!
Glad you like my write up. Appreciate the time and contribution! 🙂

Email lists are difficult because people have SO MANY OTHER WAYS to subscribe and follow blogs – and so many people don’t sign up because they don’t need even MORE congestion in their inbox!
I beg to Differ, The 80/20 rule works in almost all life situations…I.e. Whatever your list number, only 20% will create 80% the results you desire. As most are freebie seekers sadly!
– most people are too lazy to clean out their email inboxes i.e. if you havent read it today and havent put it in a read later box, Delete it.
– If you find that 3 months down the road you keep deleting said person’s emails Unsub Period!
Job done clean email inbox every week 🙂
Now to ways to subscribe…the only way that determines long term residual income is via a CRM. Again most people are too lazy or mean to themselves to invest in a CRM and in Training to learn how to rock it…thus only 3% really make any SOLID RESIDUAL INCOME online…
Lots of bloggys, most of them a hobby! 🙂
J&PK~

Thanks for sharing this step by step email marketing plan Julie. It always amazes me how much people complicate things when the basic fundamentals repeated on a daily basis will shift your business to the next level.
Exactly David. Those fundamentals must be set up properly or they dont work either. Its like having pieces of the puzzle but placed in he wrong space they dont quite work. 🙂 thanks for your time!
Julie Syl~
You bring up some great points. The money isn’t just in the list but in the relationships. If your list isn’t targeted or engaging with you, you might as well have just taken the names from a directory.
You got the gist Kenny keep rocking 🙂 Thanks for your time!
