Over the past few weeks we've introduced you to Autoresponders and shown you how to get started with your first automatic email series. While these automatic emails are great for staying in touch with your subscribers, they can also be used as a means to generate passive income on a consistent basis.
Consider this scenario: You've stumbled on a great, new site and begin devouring the content. You notice they have an eBook available for purchase with even more great content you can't get on their site. The process seems simple enough, you make the purchase and the content arrives in your inbox as promised, all without having to speak directly to someone. This is an Autoresponder at work.
Another instance would be signing up for an email course where you will receive content over a series of weekly or bi-weekly emails. Where are those emails coming from? You guessed it – they're coming at you courtesy of Autoresponders. No manual sending required.
Sounds enticing, doesn't it? It is and it's also very simple to get started as well! Let's take a closer look at these two options and a few more ways Autoresponders can help you in selling:
-
The one-time purchase. If you have an eBook or archived lecture you are interested in offering for a fee, an Autoresponder can be used to deliver this content. FeedBlitz is fully integrated with PayPal which allows our publishers to use what is called a Parser to trigger your Autoresponder which sends the content once the purchase has been completed. A true set-it-and-forget-it option, this can generate income for you as long as you have the content available and market it optimally.
-
The email course. Similar to the one-time purchase, the email course is triggered by a Parser which sends the Autoresponder once the purchase is complete. The difference in this option is the Autoresponder is a series which sends out the content gradually, over a predetermined time frame. This option can require extra setup in terms of creating the content and emails for the series, however email courses have shown to be great passive income generators for many of our publishers.
Pro Tip: Want to keep your purchased offerings or opt-ins separate from your main mailing lists? Create a Standalone Autoresponder and allow your readers to subscribe directly to it. (Don't worry, we'll help you create a rule to add all subscribers to your main mailing list once the series is complete.) Learn how to do this here!
-
The affiliate link email. We may have mentioned this a time or two here on the FeedBlitz Blog, but we're big affiliate fans and allow you to be as well. Autoresponders are a great way to keep it fresh in your readers' minds which services and products are your affiliates. While this is less direct than the previous options, the affiliate email can still produce a viable, passive form of income.
-
Cross-promotion of products, posts and services. Do your readers know all of your services and products you offer? Did you do a blog post series in the past you would like to remind them about? Sending Autoresponders throughout the year (1-2 a month) will keep your subscribers engaged and fully aware of everything you offer.
Whether directly or indirectly, our publishers have used the Autoresponder feature to increase sales and reader engagement across the board. From beginning bloggers to big time businesses, all it takes is a little planning, the initial setup and you're all set to start turning your content into income generators with Autoresponders.
