The Future Of Email Marketing

Well, I never thought I'd be someone to write an article like this, but I honestly think email marketing might be getting closer and closer to extinct.

Is Email Marketing Really Dying?

Well, I used to say absolutely not...

And thought those clickbait headlines were just cleverly constructed by sneaky marketers and designed to get you to click or their ads and articles...

But then I discovered chatbots.

If you've never heard of chatbots before they've actually been around now for a couple of years, at the time of me writing this...

And I kind of ignored them at first as just a passing fad...

But then I saw the results.

And, compared to email open and clickthrough rates, chatbots blow the average email results out of the water.

Chatbot results are kind of like how email marketing was about 15-20 years ago.

See, unfortunately, these days there's so much more noise and things we're distracted by, that even though we still use email...

Unless it's something really important it's not like we're running to our computers anymore, excited to read what someone has sent us in an email, like the glory days of email back in 1998.

Now, sure, email marketing is still responsible for millions upon millions of dollars in sales each year that would not have happened otherwise...

But, if you're an online marketer running a super lean operation and you're looking for that edge or marketing strategy that's going to get you more bang for your buck, I would definitely start looking into chatbots.

Here's how chatbots stack up against traditional email marketing results...

A good email open rate is somewhere between 10-30%
A great clickthrough rate is anything higher than 1% (pretty darn low)
On the flip side, chatbots generally get a 100% open rate
And about a 80-95% clickthrough rate

That's a HUGE difference!

So, imagine only having to market to a much smaller audience, but getting significantly better conversions and making way more in sales!

That's the power of chatbot technology.

Now, I'm certainly not the go-to expert when it comes to messenger bots, but here are some excellent resources I recommend checking out...

So, in summary...

In regards to email marketing, it's certainly not something that's going away anytime soon at all.

But, I do believe it's becoming more and more obvious that the primary means to get the response rates that traditional email marketing has gotten in the past is certainly shifting to other platforms.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means optimizing your content to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to keyword stuff and trying to maintain a certain keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or links from other high authority or relevant sites pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click) is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically, direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily Bing Ads is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...

How To Flip Domain Names For Fun And Profit

Years ago I came across a blog article about a guy that was in his mid 20s, who regularly made multiple five figures per month online... Simply flipping domains. Now, we're not talking about the kind of domain flipping where you invest in expensive branded domains and then resell those to a higher bidder. All he was doing was picking up brand new domain names for just the cost of registration...and flipping those to local businesses, over and over. Now, I had heard of things like this during the dot com boom, in the early days of the Internet, so I thought the idea of flipping domains was a lost art and there was no more opportunity in that. But, this was about 2011 or so, so it was way past the dot com bubble. Now, I mention that story to reinforce that you still didn't miss the domain flipping gold rush. Flipping domains for easy profits is something anyone can still do, and it's even easier to do these days. Now, what the guy I mentioned above was d...
