Hi Friend I promised to show show you how to make your blog the center- piece of your email program, so you can 1. build your blog 2. get sales I know this has been a pretty lengthy newsletter series, but I'm doing it because many, many of you have been asking how to do this. So let me show you briefly how this can work on your blog. You have a blog (or it could be a website, or a Facebook page or any place online where you "do business." This is where you connect with your crowd of followers and friends and peers. So, this is the best place to build your email list. Forget about buying ads, placing banners on other sites and all the other stuff marketers do. Yes, you could build a list in that way, but it will be mostly "cold" leads... They will be people who don't know you or what you do. It's much better to work with people who are familiar with you and are ready to get your emails and read them! Remember... it's far far far more important to have a small list of people who will read and engage with your newsletter, than a big list of people who pay very little attention to them. So, here's the first thing you need to do to build an email list on your blog, WHILE you build your blog. Write more content that your readers want and need. The more content you put on your blog, the more often people will visit it. The more often you post to your blog, then you have that many more opportunities to blast your new post out to Twitter, Facebook and other places. Every time you post your "new article", people interested in that topic will visit your blog. Do you write 3,000 word blog posts? It's good to do. But I'd like to see you try this (and I'll be doing more of this on my blog, too). Break a 3,000 word article into three 1,000 word articles. Post one on Monday, another on Wed and the third of Friday... You can change the numbers and days around, but try spreading your content out over more time. It gives you many more opportunities to get fresh eyes to your blog. Now, once they're on your blog, you can set it up to convert them into email subscribers. This is getting way too long, so I'll pick up the lesson at this point the next time. Meanwhile, click the reply and let me know if this is resonating with you and your business model. I'd love to hear from you and I make every effort to get back to everyone who take the time to reply to my emails. Talk Soon, Donna -Donna & David- Whirlwind SuccessPS: Remember...
