It may sound obvious but to make people happy you need to Give Them What They Want! Effective marketing boils down to this: Find an audience, figure out what they need or want and then deliver it.<\/p>\n
Email is one of the best mediums to help you do just that. And it isn\u2019t always about selling them on a product. In fact, that isn\u2019t at all where you want to start.<\/p>\n
First, you want to build a relationship with your readers. You want them to get to know you. You want to help them out so they start to like you and trust you. Only then will you be able to make an offer and have them pull out their wallet and buy it.<\/p>\n
Pay attention to your website stats. Programs like Google Analytics can give you a lot of information about where you\u2019re readers came from, what page they landed on and where they were on your site when they joined your list. That data along with demographical information will tell you a lot about your audience.<\/p>\n
As you start to email your readers, they will reply and get back in touch with you. Pay attention to what they\u2019re saying. And don\u2019t forget to read between the lines. Let\u2019s say you\u2019re in the parenting niche and you noticed that some of your readers are asking for suggestions on being a more patient parent. They complain about being short temperate and freaking out about little things. The real issue may be lack of sleep because the baby or toddler isn\u2019t sleeping through the night.<\/p>\n
Dig deep and see what you can learn about your market. Sometimes what they tell you they want isn\u2019t the real issue. On the flip side, it can be helpful to ask them for suggestions. Keep the questions open-ended if you want a lot to work with.<\/p>\n
Or consider having your readers fill out a simple little survey. It\u2019s quick and easy to do with Google forms. You get some good data and you get your readers to interact. Having them contribute builds a sense of community even via email.<\/p>\n
Last but not least go back and look at the past emails you\u2019ve sent. Pay attention to open rates, click through rates and unsubscribes. If a large percentage of readers opened the email, that\u2019s a good indication they were interested in the topic. If they clicked the link to additional content, that\u2019s even better. If on the other hand, you got a lot of unsubscribes, that might be an indication that either the topic was wrong or your language and the overall message didn\u2019t click with your audience.<\/p>\n
Use all the data and information you get back to learn more about your target audience and connect with them on a deeper level. The more you know about your subscribers, the more effective your email marketing will be, remember to\u00a0Give Them What They Want!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
