Five Reasons to Use Follow-Up Marketing








This article was recently sent to me and I felt
it made a great deal of sense. Most beginning
marketers give up too easily. It’s unfortunate but
most people DO NOT BUY the first time they
see your offer. Please read it and let me know your
views on the subject.

Five Reasons to Use Follow Up Marketing

There is *one* thing that almost every website is doing
wrong today. If you own a website chances are you are
losing profits right now because of this common
mistake.

Fix this one thing and you will elevate yourself into
the top 1% of all marketers online.

A top online marketer fixed this mistake on his sites
and sales tripled!

Fix this one thing and you can stop worrying about
getting more traffic, because the traffic you get now
will become highly profitable.

So what is the one thing?

It's creating an email follow up system so that people
who don't buy on the first visit can be reminded to
return.

Consider this VERY important fact.

A website which is considered a smashing successconverts 5% of visitors to sales.

That's a fancy way of saying that 5 out of every 100
visitors makes a purchase.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 95 PEOPLE?

What happens to them?

They leave, *never* to return. But you can change that
and you can do it in the next 24 hours.

You see, the reason people don't buy from you is not
that they don't like your product, or find your price
too high, or any of that.

In many cases, the reason they don't buy from you is
that they are in a hurry (who isn't) need more
information and leave *intending* to return.

But they don't return. In fact, they forget you exist.

And it is YOUR job to remind them!

I'm talking about creating a follow up system for the
products you sell. Every major product.

Why is follow up so important? I'll give you my top
four reasons.

---> Reason 5 - Anyone Can Use Follow Up

There is NO website that can not profit from an email
follow up system.

* Sites that sell products will sell more.
* Network marketers will build bigger downlines.
* Viral marketers will give more away.

It simply works for every site.

Why?

Because people are busy -- and YOU must remind them to
return.
After all, they did *not* visit your site by mistake!
They came to your site for a reason. And now you need
to remind them to return.

What if *half* of all visitors to your site returned
and bought something? What if 25% did so. What about
10%?

Your income would explode!

---> Reason 4 - It Automates Your Business

Do you have more than 24 hours in a day? Of course not.
So why not make the best use of the 24 you have?

And there is no better use than creating a follow up
system.

Once you have an email follow up system in place, each
message is like a tiny sales person who goes out and
makes YOUR case to the prospect 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, all over the world.

With follow up you do the work once and profit many
times.

Who would not want that?

---> Reason 3 - It Is Easy To Do

Creating your follow up system is easy.

You basically spread your selling message out over a
series of emails - the same selling message that is on
your site right now.

If you have a sales letter, you have the seeds of a
great follow up system.

---> Reason 2 - Your competition is doing it

It's a fact; more sites than ever are using opt in
forms and lead capture pages. It seems like every
'guru' out there is teaching opt in page strategy.
Your competitors are listening. Are you?

---> Reason 1 - It Works!

If there was ONE thing I was going to tell my best
friend about doing business online it would be this.

Create a follow up system for your site!

You know how those marketers love to say "If I had to
start over with only one thing it would be my list!"?

Know WHY they say that? Because following up via email
works.

Know HOW they build that list? By creating a follow up
system.

Just like YOU will be able to do once you have read my
book.

So, why do I preach follow up? Because it works. It
sells products. It creates goodwill. It motivates
people to action. It sells.

I have never seen a product, service, idea, concept, or
website that could not be promoted more effectively
using email follow up.

Follow up works. It frees your time and automates your
profits.

And automatic profits are a beautiful thing indeed!
