How To Increase Your Email Delivery Rates

Several months ago, I shared with members of The Internet Marketing Inner Circle what I considered THE key to a top-selling Internet marketing product. That key is to make sure that the product solves a HUGE, painful problem.

I also shared that one massive problem that I considered WORTH tackling is the dismal email deliverability rates that many email marketers are experiencing.

After all, what good does it do to build a list in the hundreds of thousand (which is where my database is at), if much of the email doesn't get through.

Could A Help Desk System Save Your Business?

When I recently downloaded my email and there were 13,000+ messages that had made it past my filters, I knew that I had to do something. It's simply impossible to work through that many messages in less than a few days -- which is what my team and I did. In the process, I'm sure that we deleted more than a few that we didn't really intend to.

Before working through that PILE, I realized that I needed a better solution immediately! After discussions with many advisors and close friends, I settled upon using a help desk. By having my contacts go through a help desk system rather than emailing me, it has reduced the sheer volume by about 90%.

Getting More Work DONE In Your Online Business

If you're anything like me, there never seems to be enough time to get all of the things done that you'd like to do. If your income goals are as high as mine (seven-figures,) then you also realize that you'll have a very hard time reaching them if you're trading time for money. I realized this second point when I first noticed all of the doctors and lawyers leaving those practices to start their own businesses. When I asked them why, they explained that they only got paid when they worked, and that the fact that they could only work so many hours per day was what limited their incomes the most.

Assuming you're not simply trading your time for money... working for a salary or at an hourly wage, how do you simply get more done?

How Anyone Can Actually Build A Six-Figure Income

At a recent job fair, I watched an endless procession of retiring military personnel, and contract civilian employees, parade past a dozen employers. Many of them filled out applications and handed them in to several of the bigger employers.

Many of them also talked to me, and I explained that when I retired from the military, I stepped right into a six-figure job that I had created, which has since grown into a seven-figure income.

The six-figure salary range was something a few of them "dared" dream of, but most saw it as impossible.

Dirty Secrets Of Co-Registration Email Lists

Years ago, I listened to Internet marketing "gurus" share that they had lists in the hundreds of thousands, and I was all ears. Up to that point, I had not managed to get my lists above 60,000 (after many years of consistently working at it).

After a little further investigation, some of them shared with me that they often purchased new list members in batches of 25,000... 50,000... even several hundred thousand. Knowing the value of each of my individual list members, based upon how much each spent with me per year on average, visions of riches started dancing in my head.

Many Internet marketing experts will tell you that the best way to find out what your customers want from you is to ask them. While that may be true, I believe that an even more accurate way is to just listen to what they're telling you, and to what they're asking you for.

To illustrate my point, I'll use a couple of examples from one of my own niches ... the recipe and cookbook niche. If you already have even a minor foothold in any niche, my experience should be somewhat instructive.
