Creating and Distributing E-Courses

Posted by mridbay in Articles on September 9th, 2010

E-courses are excellent sales tools and a great way to get your knowledge out there. It is very simple to create your course and either sell, or give it away as a “give-before-you-get” sales technique. If your course is designed to be a freebie, you’ll want to give a portion of good information; but don’t tell them everything or they’ll have no reason to make a purchase. If you are selling your course, make sure to jam pack it with everything you know, that way your customer will feel like they are getting a lot for their money (depending on how much you really know.)

E-courses are simple to create because there is no need for fancy formatting, heading tags or conversions. E-courses are made in the same fashion as E-zines; by using plain text. For a sample of my 7 Day Mini Course, send an email to: minicourse@aweber.com. You will receive the first portion of the course in just a few minutes, and then for the next 7 days you will get an email with a new section attached. *AOL USERS BEWARE: The only complaints I have ever received about the course not being delivered were from AOL members.

Here’s a quick check list for creating your course:

? Pick your topic of expertise.

? Divide your material into specific sections. These topics will be your lessons. I advise starting out with a day-by-day course rather than splitting your material into weeks.

? Write an introduction to the course and a list describing upcoming lessons.

? If this is a free course: make sure to weave subtle hints throughout about all of the information that they are not receiving to give them incentive to purchase something (anything!)

? Once you have written your course, set up an account with a sequential auto-responder company. Every company will have different instructions for set up, but basically you will be cutting and pasting and they will deliver the e-mails/lessons at the appropriate time.

? Promote and advertise your course on your website, and send out a notice to your distribution list: let people know about it any way you can.

Internet Marketing Strategies: 20 Secrets To Using Free Autoresponder Courses To Magnify Your Sales

Posted by admin in Articles on September 2nd, 2010

Among internet marketing strategies that most marketers are not using effectively is autoresponder marketing.

An autoresponder course is a group of articles or information set up to be sent out separately over a set period of time by e-mail.

People just e-mail your autoresponder to receive the free course and it is sent out automatically over time.

You can find free follow-up autoresponders to use by typing it into any search engine. Below are ten ways to use them to increase your traffic and sales.

1. Offer your course as a free bonus for purchasing one of your main products or services. People will buy your products quicker when you offer a bonus.

2. When you write and give away a free course you will become known as an expert. This’ll gain people’s trust and they will buy your main product quicker.

3. Allow others to add your free course to their own product packages. Their customers will see your ad when they purchase.

4. People love to get freebies. A free autoresponder course is perfect. They will visit your web site to get the free valuable information.

5. Allow people to receive your course for free, if they give you the e-mail addresses of 3 to 5 friends or associates that would be interested.

6. Allow other people to give away your free course. This will increase the number of people that will see your ad in the course.

7. You could trade advertising space in your course for other forms of advertising. It could be banner ads, e-zine ads, web site ads, etc.

8. Gain new leads by having people sign up and give you their contact info before they can receive your autoresponder course.

9. Give away the autoresponder course as a free gift to your current customers as a way of letting them know you appreciate their business.

10. Give away the course to people that join your affiliate program. This will increase the number of people that sign-up.

11. Make money selling advertising space in your course. You could charge for small classified ads or sponsor ads.

12. Get free advertising by submitting your course to freebie web sites. This will increase the number of people that will see your ads in the course.

13. Make money by selling the reprint rights to those people that would like to sell the course. You could make more money by selling the master rights.

14. Hold a contest on your web site so people could win your course. You will get free advertising when you submit your contest to free contest directories.

15. You’ll gain valuable referrals from people telling others about your course. Word of mouth advertising can be very effective.

16. Make money cross promoting your course with other people’s products or services. This technique will double your marketing effort

17. Increase your e-zine subscribers by giving your course to people that subscribe to your e-zine. This’ll give people an incentive to subscribe.

18. Allow your affiliates to use the free course as a promotional tool for your product. Each lesson could include their affiliate link.

19. Promote other businesses affiliate programs you join with your free autoresponder course. Include a different affiliate link on each lesson.

20. Advertise a different product or service on each lesson. If you only have one, use different emotional response ads on each lesson.

May you succeed in making a lot of money from these internet marketing strategies.

Five Profitable Ways To Use Your Follow Up Autoresponder

Posted by admin in Articles on June 18th, 2010

What? You are not using a Follow up Autoresponder? Then better be. If you are SERIOUS about increasing your subscriber database, you need Follow up autoresponders.

Web site promotion should start with search engines. Next comes your opt-in list. To maintain your opt-in list you need a mailing list manager or an autoresponder. You can publish your ezine or offer a free email course through your autoresponders.

What are Follow up autoresponders?

Follow up autoresponders send a series of emails to your prospects that goes at specified intervals. You have complete control on this interval period.

Some of the Follow up Autoresponders: (These are follow up autoresponders with mailing list manager features like broadcast emails)

What you can do with your Follow up autoresponder:

1. Offer free email courses:

Load your autoresponder with a series of emails as a free course. Name it as ‘Mini course that doubles Your profits in 7 days’ or something like that. User should really get temptation to subscribe for your course.

Once they subscribe, emails will go at the set up intervals.

Remember these tips before offering an email course: =Name your email course something attractive =Don’t keep too much gap between your emails =If possible refresh the previous topic in every next email =Keep short URLs =Try to use short courses like 7 – 10 days. It would be interesting for your reader. They should’t feel like a classroom =Check the URLs before loading them in to your autoresponder

2. Follow up your customer:

After your buyer purchase your product they will be landed on your subscription form. They will enter their name and email address. They will be redirected to your download page. You can set a follow up emails at an interval of 15 or 30 days. Offer some discount in this follow up emails on your other products. Selling a product to your present customer is easier than searching for a new prospect. In this method, you have to keep one form for each of your product.

3. Conduct quizzes, polls:

Yes. You can fill your follow up autoresponder with 10 quizz questions and can set up to send it one per day. People that answer all questions correct will get a discount on your product or free product or free membership etc. DON’T forget to keep your product links in each of your emails. This is a kind of advertisement for you.

4. Benefit from your Ezine articles:

You write ezine articles. Don’t you? Good…

Then load your Follow up autoresponder with 5 – 10 ezine articles and put a subscribe link on your web pages or in your signature file. Send the link to publishers who are willing to receive your articles. Your articles will be delivered to the subscribers and publishers at an interval of 30 days or what ever time you set up there.

I like to send the articles every 1 – 2 months to my publishers list. Good publishers always file articles they receive. So if you send them too frequently, it will be little annoying. So better to keep minimum interval of one month.

5. You can also use your follow up autoresponder to send:

  • testimonials of your products
  • ebook chapters as samples
  • product reviews
  • Frequently asked questions

  • Tutorials
