Email Marketing + Free Backlinks = One Happy Marketer

Friday, April 15th, 2011 at 9:43 am

There are hundreds of ways you can approach email marketing. Once you have got those people on your list, your job is to give them as much value as possible, and to get them to intereact with you or your websites.

This tutorial assumes that you have a free ebook to give away, or a PLR ebook that you have rights to, and that you have an email marketing tool like AWeber.

When we are marketing, we can of course give things away free, but every so often, asking your list to do a little something for you (for free) can reap huge benefits.

The first step to getting backlinks from a free ebook is pretty simple – you need a list. If you haven’t got a list, then it is quite easy to buy a solo ad from another list owner on The Warrior Forum JV section or other reputable source.

Once you have got a good list to work from, create an email ad that describes your ebook in the normal way, and tells the reader they can get your ebook completely free, today only (or similar)

“Today only – get my ebook (normal price $47) for free – Click Here”

…then you need to create a special squeeze page. It will say something like this:

“This ebook is normally priced at $47.00, but for today only, you can get it completely free! All you need to do is post the following text on your blog, then submit the below form:”

Then… underneath that text (edit the following code so it has your details in it):

Latest and greatest money making method :- <a href=”http://yourwebsite.com/link_to_a_page_on_your_site”>The name of your ebook or page</a>

Then below this, write:

“Simply copy the above code, and paste it into the HTML of your blog post.
Once you have done this, submit your Name, Email and URL of the backlink below”

And below this you will put your AWeber code, remembering to add a field for the URL.

This is a pretty powerful method of email marketing, that is based on the traditional sqeeze page. When you send this out to another marketer’s list, instead of just getting signups virato your list, you will also get a flood of backlinks for every single person who signs up. If you are sending it out to your own list, the same applies. Each time the form is submitted, you can check the URL is valid by clicking it – and seeing your new backlink sitting on their blog.

Ultimate Safelist Survival – What Is A Safelist Anyway? By Soren Jordansen

What is a Safelist

Basically a safelist is a gathering of like minded individuals who have agreed to exchanges ads. You agree to receive ads from all the others members in exchange for the opportunity to send your own. This concept has many advantages, here’s a couple of them.

The advantages of safelist marketing

For one it’s spam free as people have to double opt-in to the safelist and thereby agreeing to receive your ads, should some nutter decide that the safelist mail is spam anyway it’s not really your problem as the mail is not sent from your email address or server. Actually this is the origin of the name, a safelist is a closed community where it is safe for members to exchange ads.

The second advantage is quite obvious but many people fail to see this, what does all safelist members have in common? They have something to sell, but they have not advanced far enough in their internet marketing carreer to dismiss a very mundane task as posting to safelist is. That means that if you have a product, report, ebook, income opportunity etc. that can help people on the way to internet glory, the average safelist user is an excellent prospect for you.
Why I will always use safelists

I could probably make do without safelists but I sure wont. Safelist are a starting point for many newbie marketers and picking those up as subscribers and customers can be very profitable e.g. they do not own every product out there and they do not know everything, meaning that you have plenty of stuff to sell them. You can see this as opposed to getting *Mike Filsaime* on your list, when your initial giggling wears off you will probably realize that Mike owns everything you promote and if he doesn’t he will probably create his own version anyway…

Mike Filsaime and safelists

Speaking of *Mike Filsaime* did you know he started his internet marketing career using safelists? I have listened to several conference calls where Mike explains how he built a list of *7000* members using nothing but safelists and that list netted him $7000 a month. In fact Mike and his “intern” Jason Dinner are still regular safelist user although I believe they pay people to do the dirty work nowadays…

…imagine that, paying people to do your safelist posting, I’m pretty sure Jason and Mike don’t find safelists useless!
