*** Email Marketing Lessons from Donald Trump ***
by: (c) 2004 Charlie Page
Have you been watching NBC's top-rated new reality show called
"The Apprentice"?
If not, what it comes down to is two teams of entrepreneurs
competing to see who can earn the most profits in a short time
based on tasks assigned them by no less than The Donald
himself... Donald Trump.
It's fun to watch, but more important by far are the very
practical business lessons any entrepreneur will learn by
watching. You can read all about it here.
http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Apprentice_2/
-------------------------------------------------------------
In last week's show a POWERFUL point was made about the
effectiveness of email marketing. Don't miss this!
-------------------------------------------------------------
In a nutshell, one team used old fashioned marketing to get the
word out about a bridal gown sale.
Team #2 used one TARGETED email blast of only 23,000 to get the
word out about their competing bridal gown sale.
Remember, they are selling offline... physical products in a
store on the street.
The Results?
Team one made a profit of $1,060.47. Not bad for a FOUR-HOUR
sale, right?
Well, team #2 made a profit of $12,788.94 !!
**** Off ONE email solo ad! ****
And... they even forgot to put their phone number in the email,
which they thought was going to be the kiss of death!
So what does this have to do with you?
Everything... If you want to sell more online OR offline that
is!
As I see it, there are three lessons we can all learn from
this example.
1. Email Marketing Is Alive And Well
Please, do not believe the doom-sayers who are shouting that
email as we know it is dead because they want to sell you their
latest and greatest desktop delivery thingy.
Email and ezine marketing is still the #1 method of marketing
online, and that will NOT be changing anytime soon.
Consider these facts...
* Ezine marketing is the most TARGETED form of advertising on
the planet.
* EVERY Joint Venture is nothing more than a solo ad sent to a
private list.
* The spam filter situation is well under control, with most
reputable companies like Aweber delivering almost 100% of their
email.
* The legislation passed last year helps legitimate marketers,
and hurts only the bad guys who send junk.
Email and ezine marketing is not only alive and well, it's
stronger than ever. In fact, *you* are living proof simply
because you are reading this right now.
2. The Person With The Best List Wins
You've heard forever that you need to build your list. The good
news is that it's not too late.
Begin today by simply offering visitors to your site a fr'ee
eBook or further information related to your product. One
client of mine took this advice and has a list of over 2500
from the last 45 days alone.
And believe me, his traffic is nothing to write home about.
He has discovered that about 1/3 of all visitors will ask for
more information. Simple really.
3. Target Your Market Or Go Home Empty Handed
The key to their success on the Apprentice is not that email or
ezine marketing is magic, it's that their ad was TARGETED to
the right audience. If they had sent 23,000 emails to
construction workers they would have failed.
On the Internet you must target your audience and stand out
from the crowd. Do these two things consistently and success
will come to you.
The good news is that there does not have to be a mailing list
about your topic for you to succeed. I buy life insurance but
don't read any ezines about life insurance.
The key is to know who you are trying to reach and be able to
determine where they are so you can go there and sell them
something. It is proactive marketing.
And NOTHING does that better than ezines and email.
How about you? Are you targeting your market and using email
& ezines to create profits? If not, you can start today. It's
NOT hard at all. If you know a little about who might buy your
product you can quickly and easily find ezines about that
topic. Then buy an ad in that ezine and watch the results start
to happen.
Yes my friend, email and ezine marketing is alive and very well
indeed.
Isn't it about time that YOU started profiting from it too?

Helicopter above Seattle
A helicopter was flying above Seattle yesterday when an
electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's
electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the
clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's
position and course to steer to the airport.
The pilot saw a tall building, flew towards it, circled, drew a
handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The
pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters.
People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft,
drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign
said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the
course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.
After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how
the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their
position.
The pilot responded, "I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT
building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a
technically correct but completely useless answer."
