Internet Marketing Success Story
Julie Mission - simply-access.com, Internet Marketing Success StoryI would like to contribute to the "small" success story. I have purchased two products from you, the "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet" and I am also a current monthly subscription holder for "Secrets To Their Success." My success story is not one, but many small successes that are slowly but surely helping me towards a bigger success. 1. Canned Messages My Internet business revolves around teaching people to use Microsoft Access, a database program. I found many of the questions were often very similar, so I developed a compilation of answers (the idea coming from your canned messages suggestion), that I can readily use with minimal adaptation. This saves me an enormous amount of time -- about 5 to 10 hours per week. By helping people in this manner it builds trust, and can lead to sales of my product, requests for paid assistance, or at the minimum a subscription to my free weekly newsletter. 2. Autoresponders Once again the benefit for me here is time saving. My paid subscription newsletters run for 56 weeks They consist of weekly lessons in learning the programming language that sits behind Microsoft Access. The first four weeks are free and can have up to 200 subscribers at any one time for the four week trial. If I sent these out manually it would take me 5 to 10 hours per week. Each new subscriber starts at Number 1, so you can imagine the nightmare of trying to keep up to where everyone is up to. The autoresponder does it automatically, including attachments, so I do not need to concern myself with it at all. The beauty of autoresponders is it does not matter how many subscribers I have; the workload does not increase. Once again your advice has saved me considerable time. 3. Free Newsletters Okay this one does not save me time as I need to write it every week, but the majority of my sales (95%) come from the people on my list. Therefore I find it a very important part of my business. Using the information you have suggested in "Insider Secrets" I have steadily built my list up to 1,800 subscribers, and it is still growing. The newsletter has four main parts, a welcome -- which provides the readers a bit of insight into me and my life, which I think is important, it makes me a real person and my subscribers I feel are more friends than anything else. The second part of the newsletter is a tip on Microsoft Access. Sometimes they are quite short and other times quite complex and may cover a few weeks. The third section is a web site about Microsoft Access which I think they maybe interested in. Finally, I include the products I have developed. There are only two at the moment (my paid subscription newsletter and a document on using dates and times in Access). My advice to people hesitant about writing a Newsletter is just "Do It." I am no expert, but I write to my subscribers as though I was talking to then, just as you suggest. There is nothing high-tech required and I find the audience can be very forgiving. I could go on forever, covering ways you have helped me and I expect this to increase. I have hand-picked the products I have bought following extensive research on what was available and have found yours to be some of the most beneficial. Thanks for all your advice.
