chapter 6

Now that you have your squeeze page set, you are going to set up your first autoresponder message.

Most people will make the mistake of sending out an email like this as the first contact after a sign-up:

Hello [NAME]

Thank you for signing up for my newsletter.
I will be sending you more information on [your subject] over the next few weeks.
Talk to you soon!

John Doe

What’s wrong with this email?

It’s simple – it does not take any advantage of the very first contact with the subscriber.

If you are just starting out in a market, then you need to first do some research into what your visitors are looking for.
For this research there is no tool. Google is useless also.
There’s only one way to do this research – through your very first subscribers.

How about asking your readers what they want and then selling it to them? That is what you are going to do in your very first email to them.

Here is a better example of what you should do:

Hello [NAME]

John Doe here.
I wanted to thank you for requesting more information on [your subject]. It is a very important subject indeed.
Right now I need your help. Could you do me a quick 30 second favor?

I need you to reply to this email and answer this very simple question:

“What is your single most important question regarding [your subject]?”

Just hit “reply” and send your answer back to me. It will help me to deliver information and products to you that you will find most useful.

Thanks in advance!

John Doe

If you are just starting out then you should reply to each email personally and thank them for their question. Let them know that you will be addressing that issue in your future editions.

If you already have a somewhat larger list and won’t have the time to answer each email individually, make sure you add a “P.S. Due to the large number of emails that I receive I won’t be able to reply to your question personally. However, rest assured that I read each and every one of them.”

Yet, do not disconsider the power of intercommunication with your subscriber. Answer to emails as much as is possible. Another good idea may be to build up a survey and ask your subscribers to visit and answer to that.
What is really important is to build for yourself the image of accesibility and interest into provide quality material about subjects your subscrivers are intersted.

Whether you are starting in a new market or you are already established, this is a great way to learn what your readers want and to build a stronger relationship.

Now you may get stuck on some of the technical details, so I wanted to include a video with this lesson:
