Aweber
Profits
By Vincent Newton (c) 2008
Keeping
in regular contact with your customers, both prospective customers
and your regulars, is the key to profitability. Anyone who’s
in business today knows that if you don’t serve them, someone
else gladly will.
Simple as it sounds, staying
in regular contact with your customers and prospects requires considerable
effort. And that’s a big problem for small business owners who
frequently play many different roles in the course of a single work
day. Smart business owners know that if there’s a proven way
to accomplish a task, it usually makes sense to take advantage of
that method.
That’s why when it
comes to building an opt-in mailing list and converting more website
visitors into paying customers, savvy business owners are turning
to AWeber. In business since 1998, AWeber Communications is the maker
of powerful, web-based email marketing software that helps small businesses
develop and manage email opt-in lists and a lot more.
What's an opt-in list anyway?
An opt-in list is comprised of the names and contact information of
the people visiting your website and it’s as valuable as gold
in the world of Internet marketing. If you’re not capturing
this valuable information, you may as well be throwing your hard-earned
money out the window.
That’s because first-time
visitors to your website don’t typically do more than visit
your site. They land on your site, push a few buttons, see what you
have to offer, and usually they’ll leave after that. And chances
are good they won’t be back unless they have a reason to return.
That’s why it’s so important to capture all those names
the first time around because, like making a first impression, you
might never get a second chance to do this.
In order to get those
names and contact info, you’ve got to be willing to give something
up in return; something your prospects and customers will find useful
like a newsletter subscription or a free report. With your freebie
advertised on your website and your squeeze page ready to capture
those names, you might wonder why you need Aweber.
And that’s
a good question
You’ve driven traffic
to your site, you’ve offered something of value and you’ve
captured your gold potential – the names and contact information
of people who so far seem interested in what you’ve got. All
of these are crucial first steps, but you’re not done yet. Now
you’ve got to keep your website in front of these people so
they think of your company rather than your competitors.
How?
By following up with them
regularly and often. And that’s where a sophisticated yet simple-to-use
automated unlimited autoresponder like Aweber can really help. Just
import your existing client list, and put up a newsletter sign-up
form to capture new visitors and you’re ready to market your
business online!
Statistics show that it
takes anywhere between 4 and 7 views of an offer before a prospect
takes action. Someone may very well have the intention of buying your
product or service but, before the prospect clicks that buy button,
the phone rings or the baby starts crying or the prospect can’t
find her credit card. No matter what the reason is for not buying,
you can rest assured that your prospects will have a better chance
of coming back later if you do a good job of reminding them.
The Best of Both Worlds
Now just imagine if you could combine the power of Aweber with a sophisticated
tell-a-friend program? Imagine how much more profitable your business
would be? Best of all, you could increase traffic to your website
and grow a huge mailing list all at once!
Your visitors provide you with referrals while being simultaneously
added to your Aweber mailing list.
