So in this video, I’m going to show you exactly what you should use what the top affiliate marketers use at the top online marketers use, of course. I’m talking about email marketing software the best email marketing software.
They are some criteria. You that you must have and I’m going to show you all that on my computer. I’m going to take you step by step and I’m also going to give you a blueprint of what to follow in case you want to pick your own autoresponder or your email marketing platform. I’m going to show you a step by step demo for the email marketing software that I use personally and I want to tell you why I use it is the easiest the best.
And a lot of people don’t know much about it. I’m also going to have a really good surprise for you as well. And as usual, this is not a plug-in for me to sell you a course. This is totally free.
This is something that you can do on your own. All I ask is for a courtesy which is subscribed drop a like and make sure to share this video. Hello and welcome. This is Mark Daniells.
We’re going to be talking about something that is very very important to you, which is best email software for affiliate marketing email marketing for beginners. Now, why is that so important simply because email marketing is so important. You’re going to be hearing some things you I guarantee you never heard before but it is so on. Essential to your success that you going to be benefiting very quickly and a lot more than other people that don’t know this information.
So I’m going to provide you with everything that you need to know regarding that. I’m going to start with three. We’re going to have some a subcategory. Of course, as you know me by now, I like to use this to which is the Mind map to make things very Simple for you.
Now the first thing that you have to ask yourself and exact question that I ask myself. What is the best criteria for best email software now? I do have criteria that I’m going to share with you. You can pick whatever software you want. So let’s go ahead and start with the criteria.
Then I’m going to tell you the one that I use and then I’ll do a demo on that as well. So let’s go ahead and start with the first one my. criteria, I used to choose best email marketing software. Let’s go back here and talk about it.
Now. I do have five of them and some of them might surprise you a little bit email marketing software must be friendly to affiliate marketing and none affiliate marketing products. Now you probably go. What is this what maybe I don’t sell affiliate marketing.
Maybe I just sell my own course. Well, there is a reason for that if you want to make a lot of money and you want to be successful and whatever you do, you have to create multiple streams of income and let’s go ahead and start with that. You have to create multiple streams of income because as you know, my teaching right now is that you never depend on the power of one and the best way to do it is just like what the millionaires do. 78% of all millionaires had six streams of income before they made their first 1 million dollars.
It doesn’t matter. If you have a very successful course product. It doesn’t matter you have to create other streams of income. The best way to create other streams of income is simply by selling other people’s product.
This is the best way to do it because So, you know, you can make your own products or courses or whatever you want to but it’s much better to leverage other people’s work to make money at the same time. Now, I’m going to talk about active campaign. So to make my point here. I’m going to go ahead and just use some examples.
I am not picking on ActiveCampaign Auto email autoresponder at all. They are good company and they provide good service and many people use them. But here’s the thing that I do have a little bit of issues with because like I said, if you want to succeed in online marketing you have to do both. I don’t know if any really successful entrepreneur that does work online.
That doesn’t do also affiliate marketing besides their own product so to prove Of that to you. Let me go ahead and just go to the website here. And if you look under active campaign Legal acceptable use of policy and then you go down. It says he’s it says here prohibited content and then here it says content and industries subject to additional scrutiny.
Okay. So let’s go ahead and take a look at some of that. Now dietary pills. So if you are in some kind of Health industry, usually there’s dietary vitamins and stuff like that or dietary supplements.
So here you are taking a chance. The other one is Elon Loan offers and things like that day trading obviously day trading is okay. There’s a lot of people that like to give advice about day trading work from home. any type of opportunity and other one here that says If you read it here, it says other products or content that is in our sole judgment objectionable or likely to upset recipients.
So they can pick anything that they feel like it is important in their own opinion. They think it’s going to upset their own recipients. So it’s up to you if you want to use ActiveCampaign. I did use ActiveCampaign.
Before as an affiliate just to test it out and I was blocked I was the account was canceled. You cannot access it and it was a it was a headache but I did it just to see if these things are true Unfortunately they are so be careful. I’m not saying not to use them. But if you did you need to know that what I just mentioned here.
This is not just for active campaign. I’m going to give you another one now active campaign is very well-known. A drip also is very well-known email autoresponder. And then if we go to their website right here, okay.
Now we are under the drip if you go the terms of service and you scroll down you need to be right over here. 3. 2 categories may require additional scrutiny. That means you can use them or if you use them you’ll be subject to shut down or violating their policy.
Now one of the things that I kind of like surprised by is the stock market-related content a lot of people like to talk about stock market mortgage and Loans lot of people like to talk about That now if you look here nutrition horrible and vitamin supplements, there’s a lot of there’s a lot of product that you can sell with horrible nutrition and things like that dating and relationships. Same thing real estate my God real estate. This is a this is just too much. This is of course in addition to affiliate marketing now if you have not seen the first that I have done, I’m talking about the video which is what is email marketing.
I really suggest that you will see it because I go into a little bit more detail about that. But now that you know these things you are taking a chance if you are using them, these are my criteria. Maybe you criteria is totally different. Hey, I respect that.
So let’s move on here. So now we covered this and we covered this again. This is just an example because I’m not going to spend a whole lot of time try to pull everyone out there because there’s a whole lot of them as you know, the second thing as far as my criteria that I use to choose the best email marketing software is email deliverability many email autoresponders. Do not have good email deliverability.
Let’s go over a little bit further now a lot of people pick The least expensive stuff it up in the spam folder. You need to understand that it’s not just they’re not all the same a lot of people think that they’re all the same and I do have and I’m not going to mention any additional ones. But I have one of the people I did some work with you probably know him, but when he he changed his email because he was advocating or he was promoting other autoresponders and each one that I got was Emotional tab in Gmail. That’s not good because you know what the promotional tab in email in Gmail.
So be careful with that now the third thing that might happen is that there will not deliver your email period so if you are doing email marketing and you’re not using the right one, they’re not going to deliver it period it’s not going to show up at all that that happened. He has it is it did happen many times and I did a lot of testing on some Of them and I saw that is a few so you have to have that. I’m talking of course the best email marketing software email of use. Why is that so important? Well, I’m going to give you three reasons.
One of them is you have to you have to get done faster. If it’s easy. You got to be faster. You’re going to have less frustration and then you going to have shorter learning curve.
Basically you going to save time and do twice. As much as the other person in the room, I’m not talking in the room. Obviously your competition now training I’m talking about. Okay, do they have online videos? Do they have a Blog for example now if they have these things this is the this is how I rate them some of them go above and beyond but I’m not going to just go into that they do also do they also have how-to eels or you have to just email them every time so these are very important as well number five reliability, but the systems have to always be online no downtime and some questionable email autoresponder.
They don’t tell you or send you an e-mail they say, oh we did have it in an eruption or something happen or what have you they don’t so you think your mail got to whoever you are. Sending it to surprise surprise a lot of times or many times or sometimes. It depends who you are using. They don’t get there.
Okay, make sure there’s no bugs in the software and things like that. The reason the way you can find out about this right here is by just like Googling and it’s like get some information. Now if we go back right here about the second reason, what is the best criteria for best emails? A software. Of course.
We are talking about email software for for affiliate marketing because I wanna adjust color here in just a little bit why there is a reason for that Top-Notch customer service. You have to have that what I’m talking about you are talking about your own business. You want them to easy to be reached if it’s hard and it can take a day or two or it’s going to be a problem. They have to Also knowledgeable.
I have spoken with some people testing different email responders. And when I talked to them, they’re not knowledgeable believe it or not. I don’t know why they probably from different countries. I’m not gonna make any judgment but they’re not knowledgeable.
They just go around, you know the question on and on and they’re not provided me with the information that I want to so make sure that they are knowledgeable now built-in tools. This is very important. For example, they do have already landing pages. They have stuff that you need like integration with other platforms, like sales funnels and things like that now affordable prices, of course, a word of caution here at that.
I’m going to tell you here don’t pick the cheapest email marketing software and I get a lot of lot of questions about that. What is the cheapest one? You really don’t want to go with the cheapest one it cost. You more in the long run believe me. It’s going to cost you a lot more in the long run.
If you do it that way if you have that mentality number two, low email delivery rate. That’s what you’re going to have. You’re going to have low email delivery rate because you get what you pay for. Let’s go back here to best email marketing software for affiliate marketing.
Of course, that could be for email marketing for beginners. Alright, let’s talk about the second one that I have in mind, which is email marketing software. I use now. The one that I use is called convertkit.
Do you have to use it? No, there are three email software autoresponders that you can use that they are friendly to affiliate marketers. And again, I’m going to just talk to you here in just a little bit why you should pick something like that. Instead of just picking something different. The reason I like Convertkit is because it meets all the criteria that I have above.
I tested it. I know its capabilities and the second thing and it’s very very important is that if an email autoresponder software meets the criteria for promoting affiliate marketing product. What does that mean? It’s more than likely. It meets the criteria to sell any product because if they allow you to sell affiliate product, they’re not going to sit there till you can sell real estate or you cannot promote real estate or you cannot promote vitamins and health is very important Niche or sub Niche if you want to call it for you to make money with okay, non-affiliated email marketing.
You have to read their policy. I’m not Gonna tell you exactly where every policy is depending on the email software provider. Look at prohibited content. Look at acceptable use policy and then terms of service and if we take a look at drip again, you going to find out exactly what I just talked about.
I’m just giving you here an example about that. Okay, number three we gonna do something very unique. We going to do a demo of Convertkit what I’m going to do. I’m going to have Pat Flynn.
If you don’t know Pat Flynn, my friend Pat Flynn. Hey, As one of the top affiliate marketers in the world. He’s also the advisor for Convertkit. So what I’m going to do when I have them go ahead and talk about creating a landing page form inside Convertkit.
Here. We are in the dashboard of Convertkit and here on the home front. You can see a lot of different things like the chart for subscriber growth over time. You can even see purchases if you have them, but I want to show you just how simple it is to create a landing page and a form I go.
To the landing pages inform signups area and hit create new I can either pick a form to just drop into my website super easy or even if you don’t have a website you can in fact have Convertkit host a page for you to begin to collect emails. So for example, you could choose between a whole bunch of different templates here. I’m going to choose this first one a b and then all I have to do is just customize this. I don’t need to know any code or anything and you might be like, oh, well, we’re going to get some images.
I’m just going to click on this image. Choose an image in what’s cool is it is integrated with first of all your Instagram if you wanted to or Unsplash which is a free tool built into this where you can select example if I’m promoting something related to you know, email marketing. I’m just going to type email marketing and I’ll put let’s add this image here. Why not? That’s a little bit too big.
Okay, let’s click and edit that and let’s make it a little bit smaller. I’m going to crop this this is all again with in convertkit. So I’m going to go here just because I want this little tiny segment done done. There we go.
Catchy headline goes here some other text here. And as you can see I can just simply click and change things around insert cool copy here. Let’s say I want to also add the ability to collect a person’s name. Okay, let’s make this the name field.
So I’m going to hit custom field first name and I want to move this around. Okay, let’s move this up here and I’m going to change the button text from subscribe to get instant access. Obviously, I would decorate this little It more maybe have a different background image go to General style background. Same thing on Splash.
This is where I would do. Let’s try email marketing again. And I’m going to add this one of like an office or something. There you go, super easy to use and then all I have to do is save and publish in.
This is literally now on the internet. I’m going to hit share click to copy go to a new website. That is the link there and boom this is already ready for you to collect email. So if you’re coming out with a website very soon or if you To be launching something very soon.
You just simply use this to build as many landing pages as you would like and hit new broadcast. It does give you a good record of previous emails that you’ve sent click-through rates all these sorts of things and data behind them, but I’m going to send a new email what’s cool about this and you’ll notice this is a little bit more advanced but this is again built into Convertkit. Let’s say that I only want to send the email to people who are in my podcasting course, so I’m going to go to subscribe to tag power. Up podcasting, all students add filter.
So now it’ll be nearly 3, 000 students. But I also don’t want to send it to people who are also in my email marketing course so tag, and let’s do email marketing students. So email marketing magic you’ll notice it’s 2744 subscribers add filter. It should be less so that removed the people who are in my email marketing course.
So now if I wanted to promote my email marketing course and I To promote it to people who already had it, but I knew they were students of mine. All I have to do is hit Next Step. So that’s how we determine who we send to now, it’s just super-easy email marketing magic is now open then I can go to Next Step. I’m not going to send this because that would be very weird right now, but this is just an example.
I can in fact schedule this for later. So I’m in scheduled for tomorrow at 6:30 a. m. Pacific scheduled broadcast or I can just save it for later.
And that’s another very powerful easy thing to do. Okay, and on number 3, we’re going to talk about something important which is easy automation email sequence creation Now Automation and email sequence creation are two different things but it’s very important to understand how they come in together. So let’s go back to Pat so he can explain it a little bit further. Automation.
I’m going to talk about what we’re seeing here in just a minute because this is the As powerful thing if we just go to sequences we can get access to our traditional sequences of emails are autoresponders. We can see a lot of data behind a lot of the sequences that we already have if we go to new sequence, they’re very easy to create tests sequence and you’ll see when I hit the sequence. We now have open an amazing tool. This is building out our autoresponder all in one spot.
This will be the email that gets sent out immediately. So let’s make this a media then we’re going to add another email. That gets sent out. Let’s say seven days later a week later cool.
Let’s send another email and then another email we can even use this filtration process like we did in the last section to remove people from receiving certain emails. So imagine that you have a whole sequence of emails what’s called sometimes a nurture sequence and then you want to promote a product within that. Well, we definitely don’t want to promote that to people who already have it. So even in the automated sequences here, we can have a filter that says, okay do not send.
Or matching none of the following. I don’t want anybody who’s in power of podcasting to receive this email boom add filter to group. Now anybody who happens to be in my course already is not going to get this email that says get access to power up podcasting today special deal. Right? I don’t want to send emails to people who already have my courses about getting into my courses and this is just one of the fun things about sequences, but let’s take sequences to a whole nother level if we go back here.
We can now create what’s called automation. An automation is a visual way to see what is happening from a high-level perspective. And this is so so powerful and such a good thing for even beginners to learn. So based on where people come from we can tag them as such however, we’d like and then send them to certain emails.
So for example, I can go click new Automation and we’re going to create one together create automation when a person Form or makes a purchase. Let’s click joins a form and let’s say they join this form here, which is our 100 email challenge. So I’m going to hit add event cool. I can also add another form.
Let’s say when a person purchases something I want the same thing to happen. So maybe when a person purchases something from stripe or makes a stripe payment sure why not? So now when these things happen I can have people attacked so I added an action add tag, and I want to create a tag. Tag, let’s do email challenge tag. Okay, so when people come in from either these places they get the email challenge tag, then what do we want to happen? I’m going to click + now.
Let’s give them a sequence. Right? So let’s give them an email sequence right away. We can add a delay. If we want I can just go back here and add this to delay.
Let’s delay two days add action. Then I want to give them the email sequence. Let’s add that test one that we did before. Or I can add one test sequence to test sequence to add Action Now what’s cool about this is I don’t have to go back to sequences to go and edit this.
I can just click here and it opens upright on the side, I get to see and remember where people came from what they got tagged with and then now know what emails they are getting. Let’s send them this one immediately. Let’s send the next one after that the next day sure. Let’s send another one week after that and can I can Always come in here and rearrange these emails add more.
Maybe I want a different one to be first. We can go from there. This is such a this this right here is what would normally cost thousands of dollars in other tools that I’ve used and this is just here with in Convertkit. This is why Convertkit is the best Access to beautiful tools that are simple and easy to use but very powerful and inexpensive.
