The invent of online Network Marketing created a gap in the personal touch in marketing. You need to fill up the gap to succeed in Network Marketing

Doing MLM/ Network Marketing online, the first most important thing is collecting leads, most often through a opt-in form or squeeze page. These leads are targeted leads, which mean that they are people who are interested in your company or product.

These targeted leads will make up your future sale. They have seen your website, expressed their interest, but have not purchased. So you take their contact and update them of your company, new products, or promotions. This helps them to remember you, like how people think of Pizza Hut when they think of pizzas.

In order to maximize the results of your Email Marketing Campaign, you need to do more than just sending them information. There are more things to take note when you start your Email Marketing Campaign.

Email Like a Pro

Here are some sure fire tips to emailing like a professional.

- Who are you?

People will see who sent them the email before opening them. This makes your email address very important. To look more professional, please refrain from using free email accounts like @gmail, @yahoo or @hotmail. Use something that your customer recognizes, such as your name or company name. e.g. support @yourcompanyname.com. Most hosting package gives you a number of emails account you can create under your own domain name.

The next factor that you should pay attention to is your subject line. Your subject must have the power to make people interested in your email. As a rule, keep it under 50 words.

- Body

In the Main body in your email, quickly identify yourself, and proceed to the main purpose of the email. If someone referred them to you, state the source of referral. Limit the use of fanciful pictures, make your email look professional, unless you have a special style you portray in your website, keep it professional.

Improve conversion of your Emails

Increasing the effectiveness of your emails means to increase action rate. Action in terms of the people reading the emails to visiting the website. Here are 6 tips on how to improve your emails to increase your conversion rates.

- Brand yourself/ The Company

Whatever you are marketing, you need to brand yourself or your website so that it will leave a deep impression in people in order to differentiate yourself from the rest. Use the branding you created. Use it in all your emails in the subject line so people can recognise you.

- Honesty

Be honest in your subject line. Don't trick them to opening the email with misleading or false information. Be cautioned that it is a requirement to state accurate subject line.

- Instill sense of urgency

Use time sensitive words or phrases to create a sense of urgency in readers. Use words like, For Limited Time Only, Buy Now, and Whilst Stock Last.

- Entice them

Give readers benefits to open the email in the subject line. E.g. Redeem you Free Gift now! You can also incorporate the urgency to open the email in your subject line.

- Don't overdo it

In your text, avoid using too many bold, capital letters, bright colors, and punctuation (referring to ! ). For the simplest reason, it makes your text very confusing and distracting. It also triggers spiders and filter to classify it as SPAM.

- Simple and Sweet

Personally I limit my emails to the main points of my purpose. Of course you should practice your own discretion as to the audience and purpose of the email.

*P.S. It is compulsory (legal requirement) for you to include an "unsubscribe tab" in your emails to reduce SPAM
