So if you’ve linked your website in a marketing ad or somewhere else out on the internet, it should be the first location that new visitors arrive at, and so it is incredibly important to have your landing page really capture the essence of your Website it really establishes the theme for the entire web page and will help generate that interest for new visitors.

Adding a call to action button can really increase the retention of visitors on your web page because it gives them incentive. It gives them a direction ahead in to head deeper into your website and the tool i’ll, be using today to create this landing page is called wix.

com, and if you’re unfamiliar with wix, it’s. An online website building platform that provides you hundreds of templates to choose from and an intuitive drag and drop editor to efficiently and creatively design.

The exact website you’re. Looking to make now, i ‘ Ll drop an affiliate link down in the description directly to wix.com. If you want to go ahead and follow along with the video today and if you’re unfamiliar with it at all and don’t even have a wix website.

I have another video that i’ve created and i’ll drop a link down in the description about how to create a professional website using wix from scratch. I would highly recommend watching that one first before jumping into this one now without further ado, let’s, get started, creating a professional landing page for our website.

Okay, so first things: first, you’ll head over to the wix.com home page. I’m already here, as you can see, and if you don’t already have a wix account. You’ll, go ahead and hit get started, or you can hit the sign in button to go ahead and create an account now, as i mentioned before, i did have another video about how to create a wix account and your first website i’d recommend checking that one out quick if you’re not already familiar since i already have an account i’ll, just hit sign in and from the sign.

In page i’ll, go ahead and hit login, since i don’t need to sign up and enter my email address and password and hit login awesome, and we’re now at your wix dashboard. So this is what mine looks like you can see my first site over here.

I can go ahead and hit edit site if i wanted to, but instead what i’ll do. Is i’ll click on my sites at the top left corner, that’s right next to the wix logo, and from here you can see the entire list of all the websites associated with my wix account.

Now, as you can see, it’s, just the one right now, but i’m not going to edit that one today i’ll. Show you how to create a landing page from scratch. So let’s head over to this button in the top right and hit create a new site.

Now this navigates us to a new page where it asks you what kind of website you want to create. We’re gonna go ahead and hit other, and we’re going to use the template. We’re, not going to use wix adi.

We’re, going to make sure we choose a template, so go ahead and click that and then now we’ve got all of our templates so, like i said, we’re, going to be doing a landing page. Now we could choose the one right off the get go right here.

This is a coming soon, landing page or wix provides hundreds of different templates. There’s, definitely more than one to choose from for landing pages. So we’ll search landing page in the top left and hit enter, and now we ‘

Ve got a full list of all of the landing page templates. We’ve got six pages to go through, so let’s, go ahead and find one that’s, already kind of got. What we’re, looking for something uh, pretty straightforward, subtle, but something that can be adaptable to whatever our theming is and honestly, i’m, a big fan of this one right here.

Let’s, go ahead and click view to check it out. This will open it up in a new tab and we can always hit the x button to close that and at the top left. If you want to check out what the page looks like in mobile format, you can go ahead and hit the phone icon.

That ‘ Ll, show you what it would look like on mobile and then back to desktop. Now this is super minimal. I’m, a big fan of this. It’s, not too flashy, but for this i’m, not going to use this one.

So let’s, go ahead and go back to our selection of templates and let’s check out another one, and so i am looking for something that has a good background image. But i don’t want a video in the background.

I want a solid background image, so we ‘ Ve got the business coming soon photography coming soon. Now i don’t want it to be a coming soon page, although a lot of landing pages are used for that when a site’s under construction, but a lot of sites also have a landing page just to arrive at that’s where you’re first landing at the website itself is the landing page.

It’s. What makes that first impression on your visitors, so we want something that really catches. Somebody’s attention. You know. I am a big fan of this one right here: a nice solid image in the background, your logo, right in the middle, a call now button that’s great and then a email subscription box.

This is fantastic and it goes into the services and clients and everything else. This is the kind of landing page i’m looking for for my needs now, of course, it can vary depending on what kind of website you have.

If you have a portfolio site, then you definitely want to show off some of your work right from the get-go and then direct everybody towards your portfolio or if it’s, a small business or a drop shipping company, you might want to have your Featured product of the month day or week on your landing page so that when people come, they’ll, see that and then have a call to action button or some button that directs them to the store to actually check out the rest of your Products, so i’m, going to go ahead and hit edit this site, because this is the template.

I want to use awesome so now that the templates loaded up in the wix editor, we can go ahead and start making it our own. So if you’re, not already familiar with the wix editor, this is it. You can go ahead and hover over any element on the page, and it will tell you exactly what it is.

This one obviously is a text box. Then you’ve got down here a wix form, then you can keep going and seeing some of the other content. Now you can grab anything. You want it’s as simple as clicking and dragging it around to the location that you want.

You ‘ Ve got the little lines that line up to show you exactly where you’re formatting is as far as where that specific element is in relation to everything else, on your page and at the top of every item.

Whenever you click on it, it will give you a set of buttons. Now these are the different ways you can interact with that specific element. So, for example, the wix form i could change the form settings.

Add a new field. Add a new element completely to it. If i wanted to so, we want to make this landing page our own, so i’m, going to go ahead and change everything out. Let’s. Change this from barnes consultants to landing page consultant call this landing page consultants and we’ll call.

Your landing page begins with us, see nothing crazy when it comes to text elements it’s, just a matter of double clicking and you’re in or you can click on it and hit the edit text button. Now that applies to pretty much any element you see.

Like i just said you could click on the wix form and go ahead and hit form settings now. An important part of a landing page is not only your call to action text and form, so you ‘ Ve got the text that just grabs the attention it’s large in your face.

Just like this, your landing page begins with us, and the very first thing you see after that is the form to ready to start your growth journey. So we’ll, actually change this from growth journey to landing, page journey, awesome and then clicking on it will open up this extra window.

Now this window allows you to change the settings of your wix form. You can go in and change the complete name of it set email notifications accept payments. You can do so many different things with the wix form for this instance, because it’s, a landing page.

This is my email newsletter. Using this wix form. I can generate an email list and then take that email list and plug it into mailchimp for an easy, seamless transition. Now another important factor of your landing page – if not one of the most important things – is the hero image.

Now a lot of people will use hero, images or videos like in that other template. I showed you, the hero, image or video or just the hero itself. Is this giant image right here? It’s. What captures the attention of the viewer when they first arrive, so you want it to make an impact.

All i have to do is click on that and then you see up here at the top. I can click change strip background. We’re, actually going to swap out this background image, so we can scroll through selected backgrounds in here or we can go ahead and click on settings, and this will open it up in a new window, giving us a full selection of media.

For our site, and so we’ll, go ahead and pick new media from wix. Let’s scroll through here and find something that’s, pretty eye-catching honestly. What this is an interesting uh image? Let’s! Go ahead and set it to this one, this immediately caught my eye, so i would assume it would catch the eye of uh visitors to the site now.

This is definitely an interesting one and you can grab it and drag it up and down left and right. If you’d, like to re-center it accordingly perfect, okay, now that we’ve selected a background, we can go ahead and close the strip background box and scroll down, and we’ll go past our subscription box, and you Can see down here the our services section now this is a series of columns all within a single strip and in order to edit this, you can click on the entire strip and you can hover over each column and at the top it’ll.

Tell you exactly which column it is, and then you can hit the manage columns button to swap the positioning by clicking the arrows down here after highlighting a specific column, and that will move them around in their order or if you wanted to just get rid of Them so, for example, i feel like our landing page should just have two columns.

I’ll click on this third one and hit the delete button down at the bottom. And now we’ve gone to two and we can change the background to any one of these by simply clicking on the specific column and hitting change column background, and then from here we can select whichever image we would prefer something that still allows Us to be able to read what is on there, so maybe this orange one that’s, a good one and we’ll leave this first one and don’t forget to obviously change text to all of these.

We’ll call it landing. Strategies always be sure that you’re, changing all of the text to everything on the site. Otherwise, you’re, going to have just template text. This filler text that that’s meant to just fill in space, will actually slip into your production website and that’s.

Not what you want. It’s very unprofessional. So let’s, scroll down to the next section, which is actually the testimonials. This is where we can have clients that we ‘ Ve previously worked with giving a testimonial of what it’s like working with us, what they enjoyed working with us.

Why and what kind of service we provided to them? That really helped us stand out to them, and so for this it’s, just another strip with columns and of course we can change the columns. So in this instance let’s say i want to manage all of my columns and duplicate the third column.

So we’ll, add a fourth and then a fifth and a six and on and on and this way you can just keep scaling it up. As you have more people, so you could say jane, doe and so on so forth, and you would just go through and take your testimonials and plug it in here.

Now that’s, not to say you can’t just get rid of this entire section. If you’d rather, you can highlight the entire strip and then hit this delete button over here or hit the delete key on your keyboard and it’s gone now.

You’ll notice that the formatting for the website’s still here. So you still have this block and a plain colored background for that section, but the actual filler to it is gone, and so we can control z to bring that back.

And if we scroll down to the very bottom, we ‘ Ve got another one of those subscription boxes right here, something to allow people to sign up for that email newsletter. So we’ll change this as well.

So instead of success is not final. We’ll, say we’ll say landing is not final. We’ll, just we’ll just say: landing is not final. That’s, it that’ll, be our quote, and then winston churchill we’ll change, it simply double-click and there we go, and so we want to make sure that this form matches the one up top and so scrolling Up here we can see that this one is ready to start your landing page journey, and so we’ll, just simply change it.

To that and there we go. We’ve rebranded all of these contents. Now, of course, just like i showed you in each section, you can change the background that’s, a super important thing when it comes to sections on your website, because you want to really define those using fitting imagery to that specific topic.

So something like this, i would probably want a another reference or maybe a collage of images to whatever my newsletter is about. Whatever my specific website is about and then scrolling down to the very bottom, we’ve got that logo again, which, if you remember at the top, we changed that to landing page consultants, just like any other branding.

You see on the website always make sure to change that and click off. When you’re done, and then we ‘ Ve got the three main bottom footer bars, so we ‘ Ve got the follow us the contact and address.

So these are just ways to reach out and get in contact with us or check us out now. This is where you would go in and customize your address. If you have a physical location or if you don’t, you can just get rid of the column altogether.

Now remember. This section is also just a series of columns. You can see there’s four columns, so i’m actually going to take out the address, since it is entirely digital. Whatever my site is for is for a digital service, so i’ll hit, manage columns and to make sure that i have the second column selected and then just hit delete.

And now we ‘ Ve got the three main columns that actually matter my phone number and email, as well as the follow us and links to our various social media sites and then just make sure that you’ve changed all the branding.

This goes for any wix template that you use or any template use on any site ever. Never just let it sit as the normal template go in and make it your own customize it give it life and make it creative, because that’s.

What’s going to set your site apart now? Speaking of setting it apart, you can tell that my text actually blends in with this background a little too much it blurs it. Doesn’t really stand out, so something i might want to do is highlight all of that and then click on color down here, and this will bring up color swabs that i can then hover over to see a preview of what the text would Look like in that color now.

This is a super useful tool, especially in instances just like this one. So i’ll, go ahead and hit black and then click off of it and it’s now saved my changes and, of course, don’t neglect some of these buttons.

On the other side, you ‘ Ve got your theme manager now this applies site-wide, not just your landing page, and if you want to add more elements, you ‘ Ve got these buttons on the left. Now everything in this nav bar allows you to add or adjust content on your page, where everything on this right toolbar allows you to adjust the formatting of it.

Now, as you can see, it’s, a really quick thing to jump in and start editing the landing page to make it your own, but you can be as nitpicky as you like here this. This is the creative process you’re allowed to go in and be iterative with it, meaning you can go and make some changes step away for a day or two come back and say.

Maybe i don’t like how this looks and go ahead and make those changes there and remember. The goal of the landing page is to grab the attention of the visitor. Now there could be very specific reasons for your landing page like, for instance, mine is to get people to sign up for a newsletter.

Other people might have a video or might have a shop or any number of reasons either way. The landing page is the first stop. People will make on your website, and thus it ranks perhaps as one of the most important portions of your website keep in mind.

I didn’t, put very much effort into actually customizing it and really setting it. Apart and making it my own now, what i might go do is change the background strip completely to something a little more professional and change the text to fit more in line with my branding, as well as connecting the email newsletter there’s.

So many different things i could go in and do a detailed description of, but this is just so you understand the generalities of creating a professional landing page using wix and just like that, we’ve created a professional landing page for our website.

None of which would be possible without wix.com and the platform they provided us again. I’ve included an affiliate link down in the description for you to head over to wix.com and create a professional website of your very own.

Now you can take what you’ve learned today and create an awesome landing page to help your website stand out from all the other ones out there and drive that visitor retention to your website. So if you are in the market for a brand new website for either your personal blog, a hobby of yours or your own small business, then definitely use wix.

The post How To Create A Landing Page With a Website Builder in 2021 appeared first on Ask Root.

Dude, let’s do this! A landing page is basically a web page for you to convert people into some sort of promotion or sale or just a simple sign up. So, an example might be you sell shirts, on momshirt.

co, go check them out. – .com. – .com, my bad. – Momshirt.co is going to get a ton of traffic because of this now – Momshirt.com, go check them out, you’re awesome. You might sell a shirt on there with a discount and you wanna drive people to buy that, right? So you’re going to make a landing page to capture contact information and allow people to get that coupon, discount, or promotion.

So we’re going to build that in three minutes, or less. Alright, let’s show you how to do it. – Start the timer. – [Dan] So first, Ernest is going to into campaigns, he’s gonna create and edit a new campaign as he’s in the campaign builder he just has to drag out that landing page node.

Now the great thing about the landing page builder is that we’ve put a lot of fantastic templates in here and the goal was to minimize how much time you’re spending creating something from scratch because you have something that fits what your needs are.

So you’re gonna show others how to market their business and you’ve chosen a template that says – [Ernest] Maximize Your Marketing Strategy. – [Dan] Boom! Now it looks like you’re naming your page.

The cool thing about the landing page builder at the bottom you can see your progress and the steps that you’re in. And to move through steps, you just click on next step or back. Now, the goal for Ernest here is to simply edit and customize this template to fit what he’s building or he’s doing, and the great thing is, you don’t have to do a lot, you just have to change the text, change maybe some of the images.

The research that we’ve done on how these pages are built is to really make a compelling page that converts people. So it looks like he’s gonna add a picture here. Oh, add a logo. – [Ernest] Alright, looks good.

That’s not my phone number (laughter) As a matter of fact, I prefer not to have a phone number. – [Dan] Yeah. – [Ernest] There we go. – [Dan] So quickly delete sections as well. So Ernest, you’re editing the copy right now, walk me through what’s going through your mind as you’re building this.

– [Ernest] So, it’s already designed in a way to where it’s kinda got the elements that I need. It’s got the call to action up top which is definitely something that you want. It’s got some copy in there already, and then on here it’s giving me the ability to show someone what they’re actually gonna get out of working with me.

– Gotchya. – So all I really need to do is modify the copy a little bit and then if I’d like to change the images, I can do that. For example, this image right here may not apply to me or even this one may not apply to me.

So I can tap it here and I’m gonna go ahead and replace that image and I don’t necessarily have one that might work so I’m going to see if the gallery has anything for me. – [Dan] So while you’re doing that Ernest, the great thing is we have a bunch of royalty free images on the gallery so you can choose from a plethora of different things that really fit your needs.

– [Ernest] Perfect, and I found something that actually works great in this case. So Build Your Site is the content I went with, and I’ve got a neat little laptop here that shows new products so that actually works out pretty well for me.

I think I’m ready to go.  I can’t believe we did that, that’s awesome. So guys, build a landing page in three minutes or less using the templates, put your own copy, put your own images on there and you have a high converting, compelling landing page on your website.

– If we can say one thing, back in the day, you used to have to hire a web developer. – Oh my gosh, yeah. – They had to build this from scratch, they’d bill you hourly, if there was a change you needed to make, you needed to communicate with them, and they had to put it on their queue of things to work on.

We’ve made it so simple for you to build a web page and stick it on your site. That you can get up and running in a matter of literally three minutes. Thanks for tuning in. – Thank you guys. – We’ll see ya next week.

The post How to Build a Landing Page in 3 Minutes appeared first on Ask Root.

Landing pages are very important in affiliate marketing. If you don’t have a landing page, you can’t advertise on Google. You can’t advertise on Facebook. You can’t advertise on YouTube.

You need a landing page and I’m going to go over 2 methods to create a landing page. I’m going to go over a free method to create a landing page. And I’m going tO go over it on my computer and it’ll also be going over a paid method which is I think easier.

And I’ll be going over that as well on my computer here. So let’s check it out. Let’s get it. Landing pages are so essential. Landing pages were the missing link for me becoming successful in affiliate marketing four years.

For years not being able to create a landing page held me back. Because I kept trying to put affiliate links in Google or in Facebook but they don’t like affiliate links. And it’s just so… I feel like it’s discriminating but it’s crazy but it’s the reality.

Those networks want people who have their own websites. And even then they sometimes ban you. It’s crazy. But the only way to give yourself a chance is to have a landing page. Now, the downside of the free method that I’m going to go over is it requires programming.

Okay? So, that’s… That sucks. But I’ll show you the simplistic of how to do this method. I don’t know programming. I know a little bit. But I really don’t. I will break the internet if you ask me to program.

And I’ll show you the paid method. And the downside of the pay method is it requires money, right? Nobody wants to spend money. Ooh! Okay, so let’s go over to my computer and I’ll show you both of these methods real quick.

Okay, so for the free method, this… It sort of varies whether you have a Mac or whether you have a PC. So, if you have a PC, if you’re working off of Windows, you want to search the term HTT track, okay? HTT track.

Just like I have right here. And you’ll be given a software. It’s a free website copy, okay? So, you see that right here. It’s a website copier. And you can go to this site and you can install it.

And this will allow you to actually copy websites to use as landing pages. So, what you’ll do is you’ll go to the download area right here, okay? And you will download whatever the latest version is.

They recommend this version. I would download this version of HTT track. It’s very old site. It’s free software, whatever. Just you know, I use it. This is… This is what I used for years actually before there was clickfunnels which is the second method.

I’ll show you soon. Now, if you have a Mac or some sort of Apple computer, what you want to use is site sucker. Search that in Google. Site sucker, okay? Just like right here. And you can download it.

I don’t have a Mac I don’t use Mac’s. And not on that fan waggon. But for those of you that do, you can download it somewhere here. It looks like there’s there’s links on the site to download.

.. to download site sucker. The next thing we have to do is we have to find a site that we want to copy. Preferably find a landing page or squeeze page that you see another affiliate marketer already using.

Now, in this case, I found a website called Weekly Penny. And it says Newbury Park California proves little to no cost solar. This is an affiliate page promoting solar programs. As you see their affiliate link is down here in this big learn more button.

And if you click this button and fill out a form, the affiliate will make some amount of money. I don’t know. Maybe $10, maybe $20, maybe $30. Somewhere in that range by clicking this button and filling out the affiliate form that is on this page.

Now, what I want to do is I want to copy this site. Because I want to advertise this site myself and use this to promote maybe a solar panel installation affiliate program. Great. There are a lot of them.

There’s a lot money in solar. A lot of people are switching to solar in the United States. If you’re located out of the United States, you can find products that are sold in your country or you can sell products in America.

It doesn’t really matter. You can sell products in America, you can be an affiliate for products anywhere in the world. Affiliate networks don’t care. All they care is that you are making money.

So, I copied the URL and I’m in site sucker here, okay? So, here’s… Sorry, this is win HTT track. Now, the first thing I’m going to do is click Next. And I clicked Next. And it will do a project name.

I’ll say, “Weekly penny solar Lander.” And the project category I’ll just say solar. Just to keep things categorized. Now, then I’m going to click Next. Now, here’s where I put in my web address.

So I’m actually going to paste my web address which is… I don’t know if you can see this. Because it’s very small but it says weeklypenny.com. And it’s the site that I just entered. Now, the action is already set which says download website.

And I’m just going to click Next. And here we go it starts downloading my website. This may take a minute. So, I’m just going to come. I’ll have my editor skip ahead to when the site’s already finished.

So, once it’s finished downloading our site, we should be able to get it and it will have saved to whatever folder that we had set in the beginning. So as you see, I have… It automatically sets up my web sites folder and you will go there and just click finish right there.

Okay? So, that’s how you mirror a site. Then what you would do is you’d have to drag and drop those files over on your own website and change out the affiliate link that appears in here. Now, the way I did that was I simply said copy link address.

If you see that. I’d actually look at the link address. I’d paste it into a file. I’d paste whatever affiliate link that the other affiliate was using into a file. And I would go into programming.

I’d click control find and I would simply replace this link with my own link. Now, wasn’t necessarily complicated? Didn’t always work. But the point being that I try to make things as simple as possible.

When you don’t have money, you don’t have money. So, using the free method is a way to deal with not having money but still being able to put up affiliate marketing landing pages that are effective.

Because you’re using stuff that people are already using. Okay, so let’s be honest here. That sounds a bit complicated. And it is. Back in 2012 when I started affiliate marketing, they didn’t have tools like they do now.

You didn’t have… You weren’t able to create a website without any programming. Without finding links and actually going into the files and changing stuff around. They… I wish they had the tools they have today.

And the paid method solves all of those problems. The paid method makes it so accessible for anybody to create an internet business. It’s unbelievable. The paid method uses a program that I’m a huge fan of called click funnels.

I’ve been using click funnels for the last 2-3 years. I’ve been a massive fan ever since it was released and makes internet marketing way easier because you don’t have to do any programming whatsoever.

So, let’s check it out right here. So as you see and clickfunnels, the way it’s organized is you have a bunch of funnels, okay? You have bunches of funnels and you can easily create a new funnel just by clicking this.

Or you can copy somebody else’s funnel. What I’m going to give you today is actually a funnel you can copy directly from me if you want to get your start in affiliate marketing. So you don’t even have to write anything yourself.

Now, that page is this. So this is a pre sell page for my own affiliate program which is in Clickbank. You can just log in and click bank and search my name. So, here’s my program in Clickbank. If you are interested in following along on this video, it’s called the super affiliate system.

And it pays over $464 per sale. And it is my six-week course about how to be an affiliate marketer. So, it’s kind of crazy, right? You can be an affiliate to help teach people how to be an affiliate marketer.

Kind of like a cat eating its own tail but whatever. Pays out a lot of money. Very successful course and has helped a lot of people get their start in affiliate marketing. You would just grab the link right there.

Now, here in my funnel, what you’ll see is here is my page. And what I would click is I’d click Edit page right there to get started editing the page. And what you’ll see is how simple and easy it is to make changes to web pages.

Now, as you see here, I have a disclosure and let’s say you wanted to change around this article to say something else, okay? So, you know, I could say “28-year old medical guinea pig turned internet millionaire.

The full story.” And let’s say I wanted to change the date around on this particular story to make it more relevant to today. I could change it around just by clicking… I could say, “Written on Jan 7th 2019.

” And let’s say you want to change your affiliate link around to be your own link for my program. So, what you would do is you click promote. Maybe you put in your your name. If you want to promote the German version or the Italian version of my course, you could click this button.

But we’re not going to do that. Typed in my affiliate ID and I’m going to click generate hop links right there. Generate hop links. And here we go, we have our generated hop link. Going to highlight that and click copy.

Then we would go into clickfunnels and we would replace the link that is on this video with our own link. Okay? So, we’d click it and we see the link URL right here. And I’d simply highlight that link, delete it and paste in my own link.

Then I would go up here where it says save. And I’d click Save. There we go. Now, if you want to see the page live, you can just click preview and you will see you have the updated page where it says “Guinea pig, January 7th.

” And you have your affiliate link that goes over to the free training I offer for people interested in affiliate marketing. Now, that’s that. That’s the free method and the paid method. Now Clickfunnels is.

.. It has a free trial for 14 days. I recommend you take it up and just see how easy it is. Feel free to try the free method yourself it is complicated. I don’t do it. I would, you know, never do that for the life of me.

But clickfunnels is $97 a month. Now, if you’re looking to get into affiliate marketing and take it seriously or if… You know, especially if you want to advertise on Google or Facebook or YouTube, you’re going to need to have a pre-sale page.

And this is a great example, this has been a tested one and I’m going to give you this funnel. This the link to this funnel. If you want to take advantage of the 14-day free trial of click funnels is in the description, is it’s in the link description somewhere or I’ll put it in a comment, a pinned comment on this video.

Booyakasha! I hope that helped you figure out how to set up a landing page. And also help you understand why landing pages are so important. There’s so much traffic on Google and Facebook.

The post How To Create A Landing Page appeared first on Ask Root.

So, make sure you check out the timestamp table of contents in the description, along with some other helpful videos and playlists that walks you through the rest of your sales funnel building and list growth process.

So here, before we dive into the five simple steps to creating your squeeze page, let’s go ahead and talk about what that good is. And then the one key to success that you need to be aware of as you create your squeeze pages.

Now, a squeeze page is simply one page on your site that is designed to collect someone’s contact information in exchange for providing value. At the very basic level, that’s pretty much all it is.

Now, if you’re familiar with landing pages, you might be wondering what the heck is the difference between the squeeze page and landing page? Because the landing page pretty much does the same thing.

Someone goes to the landing page, they enter their name and email, and then they get something cool from you, so that you can follow up with them in your sales process. Well, the squeeze page does the exact same thing.

The only difference is, there’s pretty much just a headline and maybe a sub headline and that’s it. So, a squeeze page is extremely short. And the big advantage of using squeeze pages is they are much faster to put together and they easily allow you to split test your headlines, which is the most important part of a landing page.

In fact, if you’re new to this whole thing, you should probably just start with a squeeze page and if the squeeze page doesn’t work, then go ahead and do all the work and time and energy into making a full blown landing page.

Well what’s great about squeeze pages, is you can set them up very quickly and you can get a lot of data very fast, in terms of what type of headline is actually going to get people to join your email list.

Now, the one key to success when it comes to your squeeze page, this also applies to landing pages, but especially with your squeeze page is that there is only one action, someone can take when they hit that page.

And that is to enter their name and email. As soon as you add any other links, and I’m not talking about those disclaimer and terms of service links that everyone has to have on their site. I’m not talking about those little bottom ones.

I mean, any other link it is no longer a squeeze page. The whole purpose of a squeeze page is to squeeze someone into doing the action you want, and the squeeze part of it, right? So as soon as you give them another link, all of a sudden, they have to choose, and we don’t want people choosing when they come to your squeeze page.

So now let’s go ahead and jump into those five steps. The very first step of course is the design. So let’s go and break down what the design looks like. And we’ll go through two live examples from some very successful marketers.

At the very top you’re just going to have a headline. You’ll learn how to write your headline in a couple of minutes here. And then optionally, you can have a sub-headline. And typically what a sub-headline does is just reinforces the message in the headline, so you’re not saying anything new and then it also answers the question of, “Okay, but what exactly am I getting?” And speaking of what you’re getting, that is the next part where you’re going to have an image that represents something called a lead magnet or opt-in offer.

You’re not quite sure what that is. We’re going to get that, to that in the next step. And then finally, you’re going to have your form where you’re asking for people’s contact information in exchange for that lead magnet.

Now we have two examples here from successful marketers. The first one is from Eric Siu from single grain. He runs a digital marketing agency and has a podcast with Neil Patel. And this is an example of one of his squeeze pages.

You can see here, there’s a headline. That’s very clear on exactly what someone’s going to get when they enter their name and email, and for the graphic, instead of a picture of the playbook, he has a picture of himself, this is a great option, if you’re trying to build yourself up as a influencer, of course, he’s already pretty well known in his niche.

And then the call to action is yes, send me the free video. Now, the next one we have here is a very, very similar format. You can see they have their little logo at the top, and this is from Sam Evans consulting.

com. You can see the headline is very clear and tells people exactly what they’re going to get. And then the sub headline here is extremely descriptive of all the great things they’re going to get as a result of entering their email address.

And of course his call to action here is get started. And that is really as complicated as your squeeze page has to be. In fact, you could probably just go back, pause the video timestamp table of contents, of course, and just completely recreate the format, those two formats for your own squeeze page.

Now what makes your squeeze page work so well, is of course your offer because at the end, the day, if you’re not offering something of value, nobody’s going, we’re going to give you their contact information.

So let’s go ahead and go through what you can offer people in order to get them to enter their name and email or just their email. And this is going to be your lead magnet. And so there are three keys to success when it comes to creating your lead magnet.

And then we’ll go into three different types of lead magnet you can put together. The very first key is it actually has to be valuable and actionable? I know that might seem self-explanatory, but you would be surprised how many squeeze pages we’ve seen from our clients where they’re offering something that could have just been put in a blog post or a free YouTube video.

So, it actually does need to be valuable and it needs to be related to whoever is landing on the squeeze page. The second key to success is making sure that you do take some time and effort to make sure that it’s well designed.

If you have great information, but all you do is throw it into a word document and ship it off to people, when they enter their name and email, they’re not going to see you and your company in the best light.

So, you can actually use a free tool called Canva to easily spruce up all of your PDF guides, if that’s the way you decide to go. Link in the description to a tutorial that walks you through how to do that, it’s an extra hour or so.

And it just increases the perceived value of what you’re offering. Now, the third key to success when it comes to creating your lead magnet is, you want whatever the information you’re providing to be instantly actionable.

So, you don’t want to create a lead magnet, this is, “Hey, how to lose a hundred pounds over the next like 60 or 90 days”. That’s not really something that you want do, that’d be great for a course or a program, but here you want something that’s going to be immediate, so that you can show that you can deliver value, because once you’ve delivered value in your lead magnet, the sales process becomes a heck of a lot easier.

So, you want something that’s immediate. And the easiest and fastest way to do this is, providing a guide. So this is typically just going to be a PDF, or you could have it as a short video. And it’s designed to take prospects from where they are now, to where they’d like to be.

So this could be a cheat sheet, blueprint, assessment, quick start guide, hackers guide to just some sort of quick PDF that solves a small problem for them where, you know, hey, you know what, they’re probably struggling with this and if they just knew this little piece of information, they’d be able to be successful with that.

You really want it to be micro and small so that they can see a result either just an aha moment. Like, “Oh my gosh, that’s such a good idea”. Or they can go implement it. And within a week or so, they’re actually going to see success.

And that’s going to provide a tremendous amount of power, when it comes to your sales messages and emails, they’re going to be very receptive, if your lead magnet actually help them. Now, the second type of lead magnet you can do is a resources list.

And this is one that’s very easy to put together. It’s not as powerful as a guide, but it is something that’s very great to do. And this is where you just do research for your ideal customers, whether it’s a contact list or maybe just a list of software that you recommend.

Now, the final one we have here, which is a lot more complex, and that is hands on training. And this is pretty much a mini course. So this is where your email courses are going to be, come in where you have a five or seven day email course where you’re just dropping a lot of value.

Maybe you’re putting together a webinar or a video sales letter, maybe a launch sequence. That’s what is going to be considered hands on training. This is the last one you should try because the other two are going to be significantly faster to put together.

But in any case, whatever you choose, this is going to power your entire squeeze page process. So now that you kind of have some ideas of what to do, link in the description to a video that takes an even deeper dive into all the different types of lead magnets you can have.

Now it’s time to write your headline. And when it comes to writing your headline, you really only need to spend about 30 to 40 minutes and you’ll have more headlines than you know, what to do with.

And of course, using something called split testing, where you’re going to test headlines against each other. You’ll eventually figure out which one’s the best one. So, the simplest way to jumpstart your copywriting is just as just ask two questions.

The first question is, what results are they after? And what roadblocks or problems are they dealing with? So in this particular instance, let’s get concrete. I’m going to use the example of providing a free guide to someone who’s trying to grow their YouTube channel.

Well, what results are they after? They’re trying to grow their channel and they probably want to quit their job and just be full time on YouTube. Making videos, sounds like a pretty good life, right? Well, what do they think is getting in the way? Well, they probably think they need to improve their video quality.

Maybe they think they need to rank their videos. Maybe they’re frustrated with the amount of views or subscribers or the rate of subscribers are getting or the rate of views. And those could all be things we could talk about and help them solve or overcome in our offer.

And so, what you want to do is take, make a long list of all of these. And then they’re just two language patterns we can use. Number one, how to result without hard part and number two, how to result even if.

So, you can pause the video, of course, if you want to go through all of these examples, but I’ll just read off a couple of here. You can see the first one, how to grow your channel, which is a result that they want without getting lots of views, which is a roadblock, because a common belief would be, “Oh, if I want to grow my channel, I have to get a lot of views, but I don’t know how to get a lot of views”.

And so, we have a headline that says, “Hey, you don’t have to get a lot of use to grow your channel”, you go, “Oh, well, that’s cool. How do I do that?” Because it’s allowing them to sidestep a problem, that they thought they’d have to overcome.

And now that you have your headline, you’re ready to create your sub-headline. And creating your sub-headline, you can use one of these three simple language patterns and really the goal here is, to reinforce what was said in the headline.

So we don’t want to introduce any new ideas and then give a little more specifics on what they’re actually going to receive when they enter their name and email. So here are sub headline formulas, the simple strategy for an action they need to take without a roadblock, the single blank that will finally give you a clear path to the result that they’re looking for, the little known secret to, or for the result that they’re after.

And then instant access to give your offer a name so that you can, and then a roadblock or result that they’re trying to break through. So here are some actual examples. We have first a simple strategy for attracting new subscribers, without generating more views.

You can see here, we have the result that they’re after, and we’ve turned this into an action, so something they’re doing, they want to attract subscribers without one of the roadblocks, getting more views.

We have a little known secret to ranking videos. So we could have a little known secret to improving bad video quality or doubling your subscriber count, obviously it needs to be true. Then we have instant access to the monetization playbook.

So, you can start enjoying a part time income. So here monetization playbook, we’ve given our opt-in, offer a name, and then we’re saying, well, what is it going to allow you to do? Generate a part time income.

And that is one step closer to them generating a full-time income. Now the final one we have here is just a generic one, get instant access to the complete YouTube growth blueprint, so you can make 2019 your breakout year.

And I included this one because you can pretty much change the text around in this one, for whatever you are offering. So you any pretty much any niche, something would be the breakout year. So I’ll let you play with that one, but that’s the headline, sub-headline that we’re going to use in this example.

So now that we have our headline, we have our sub headline and we know kind of what our lead magnet is going to be, which is what we did in step number two, we’re ready for the final part here, which is our call to action.

Now, when it comes to your opt-in form, you’ve probably seen landing pages in the past that asked for way more than just the name and email. And when it comes to your squeeze page, that’s not what you want to do.

On your squeeze page you only need two piece–, well, you really, really need one piece of information, an email address. If you want the name, you can ask for the name, but name and email is the absolute maximum you want to do on your squeeze page.

If you need more information, for some reason, as part of your sales process, then you probably shouldn’t be putting together a squeeze page because a squeeze page is really all about saying, “Hey, I have this awesome offer.

It’s going to help you solve X problem, enter your name and email to get it. And that’s as complex as we want it to be. If you need all this other information, because you’re trying to do something like strategy calls or you’re doing advanced follow-up, then creating a full blown landing page is definitely something that’s going to work a lot better than just having a headline and then 20 different form fields that you’re asking people to enter.

And so that’s all there is to it, to creating your squeeze page. And of course you can create a squeeze page with pretty much any landing page building software out there, GetResponse, ClickFunnels, Kartra, Kajabi, Lead pages, ThriveThemes, Optimizedpress, the BeaverBuilder, the list goes on and on.

Really the core here, no matter what software you’re using, is making sure that you’re following this very simple and proven design, squeeze pages are not a place to be experimenting with the design and layout.

So thank you so much for watching. I sincerely hope you got some value out of this video and you have some great ideas for how to put together your own squeeze pages. Remember, there’s a timestamp table of contents in the description, so you can jump back and take a look at those copywriting formulas, because those are going to save you a tremendous amount of time when it comes to putting together your squeeze pages.

The post Squeeze Page Formula How To Make A Squeeze Page To Grow Your Email List appeared first on Ask Root.

So what’s the answer? The social squeeze page. It’s the simple page that I recently added to my site and it’s currently converting at 21.7%. I’m Brian Dean, the founder of Backlinko.com, and in this video, I’m going to show you exactly how you can add this high-converting page to your site.

So, a few months ago, I had this problem – my site was getting a fair amount of traffic, but I couldn’t get anyone to actually subscribe to my email newsletter. So I tried slapping opt-in forms all over my site, and that helped a little.

I also tried giving away a free E-book, but that barely made a dent. Then one day, I stumbled across this page on copyblogger called “How to Write Magnetic Headlines”. And I noticed that even though it was a squeeze page that existed solely to collect emails, it was beautifully-designed and actually had social sharing buttons on it.

And that’s when I realized that the tried and true squeeze page still worked it just needed to be adapted to today’s audience. So after a lot of research and experimenting, the social squeeze page was born.

And since putting the social squeeze page on my site last year, it’s converting at 21.7%, which is ten times better than any other page on my site. So you’re probably wondering what exactly is a social squeeze page, and how can I add one to my site.

Well that’s exactly what I’m going to show you how to do right now. So the social squeeze page that’s converted so well for me is called “How to Rank For Any Keyword”. And on the surface, it looks like a simple page with a video on it, and in many ways, it is.

But there’s a lot of important things on that page that make it convert so well, and those are the things I’m going to walk you through right now. So first you need a topic for your social squeeze page, and your topic is really important.

You want to find something that your target audience is hungry to learn more about; that way, they’re likely to hand over their email address for more information on that topic. In my case, I did a case study, because I knew that most of my readers were sick of reading fluff SEO content from other blogs, and they wanted something actionable and real, and were willing to hand over their email in exchange for learning more information on that topic.

So next it’s time to actually create your video. Now, you don’t have to stand in front of a camera if you don’t want to; you can record a PowerPoint presentation using screencap software like Camtasia.

But the important thing is that your video has to be really good, it has to add value, and ideally it should be between 3 and 10 minutes. Any longer, and it’s probably too long and going to lose interest, and any shorter and it looks like just another squeeze page video.

Because remember, with the social squeeze page, you’re actually adding value in your video. Okay, so now it’s time to create your Headline and Subheadline. And like any webpage online, the headline that you use for your social squeeze page is _huge_.

Now the goal of the headline of your social squeeze page is to give a person a specific benefit that they’ll get from watching your video. So for example, if you ran a site about weight loss, you could put something like ‘How to Lose 2 inches From Your Waist by the End of the Month”, or let’s say that you ran an e-commerce site, and you had a blog on that site, and your e-commerce site sold rugs – you could have something like ‘How to Choose the Perfect Rug for Any Room in 3 Minutes or Less.

‘ So once you’ve reeled them in with the headline, it’s time to move on to your subheadline. And the job of the subheadline is to create what’s known as an information gap, which basically is going to encourage people to click on your video and watch your video.

In my case, my subheadline is “Here is the exact step-by-step process that I use.” And that opens an information gap, because a person’s like ‘What is the step-by-step process that I use?’ and then they watch the video.

Next, you want to add opt-in forms to your page. The first one should go right underneath your video. That’s a really important place to put it, because when someone’s watching the video, their eyes are going to drift around the page, and the more times they see your opt-in form, the more likely they are to opt-in.

And you may also want to put another opt-in form at the bottom of your page. And that’s for the simple reason that the more opt-in forms you have on a page, the more opt-ins that you’ll generally get.

And I also recommend hosting your video with Wistia or LeadPages because both of those services allow you to actually collect emails from within the video. So once you’ve done that, it’s time to move on to actually one of the most important steps of the social squeeze page.

Finally it’s time to add social elements to your social squeeze page, like comments and a social sharing button. And remember – because your video actually provides value, people are going to want to share your video, they’re going to want to comment on your video.

And because as more people comment and the more social shares you get, the more social proof that page has, the more your conversion rate will actually increase over time. To sum up, the social squeeze page is one of the easiest ways to pile email subscribers onto your list.

Do you have a friend that’s struggling with conversions? Send him or her a link to this video and you’ll be helping them and me. And if you want more exclusive marketing tips just like this one, subscribe to my YouTube channel, or better yet head over to Backlinko.

com and sign up for the newsletter where you’ll get marketing tips and case studies that I only share with subscribers. the truth about building an email list is this it’s really hard to turn ice-cold traffic into email subscribers sure you could try to bribe them with a free ebook or an online course but you’ve probably seen firsthand that that doesn’t work really well so what’s the answer the social squeeze page it’s a simple page that I recently added to my site it’s converting at 21.

The post How to Make a Squeeze Page appeared first on Ask Root.

The first step is, of course, to sign up with MailChimp, and that is a very quick process. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes. If you want to know how to do this step by step, then do watch that full tutorial.

So once you have set up your MailChimp account and you log into your account, this is going to be your dashboard area and it might look a little bit different from my screen here, just because I have already set up my audience and campaigns and templates the Thing you need to know is that up here is where all of the magic happens.

So this is where you can create your emails, which you can then send out to your subscribers, and this is where you can create lists. So your audience. This is where you can build your audience, and here’s, where you can see more statistics, and this is where you can access all of your content – that you’ve already uploaded to your MailChimp account so, for example, images, PDF files And things like that now, when you first log into your MailChimp account, the first thing that I recommend you do is to create a list and MailChimp have recently changed the name from list to audience.

It means the same thing, so it means a place where you can store all of your subscribers. Now, when you click on audience, you can see here. I have got two lists that have already been created. The first one has 0 subscribers, so 0 contact and the second one has 1 subscriber.

So one contact now, if you want to create a new audience, the way to do that is to click on this arrow here, on the right hand, corner where it says, manage audience, and then you want to click on view audiences and here, where it says, create Audience click on create audience, and then you want to complete this part here, for example, audience name your subscribers will see this so make it something appropriate.

So, for example, you could say in my case natural a bit a newsletter from default email address. In my case, it would be something like info at natural betta net, that’s. My website address, so I do recommend that you add your website address.

If you’ve got one. If you don’t, you can add a personal email address here, default name again, something that your subscribers will recognize like your personal name or company name here, you can add how your subscribers joined your newsletters here.

You need to add your address, so this is legally required. You can also enable gdpr, especially if you’re, sending your emails to european subscribers. Then that is mandatory and I’ve explained more about this subject in the full tutorial.

So please watch that and here again you got notifications, so you can choose between getting daily summaries, which I do recommend. I don’t recommend one by one, that’s, just gonna bombard your email, so you can get a daily summary of subscribers and nonsubscribers yes, and once you’ve completed that you can save your list.

So let me just go back, will click on audience here again now, once you have created your audience or your list, the next thing is, of course you can add a subscriber to your list, so you can maybe start with adding yourself so click on add a Subscriber and what you need to do here is to add the person’s.

Email address their first name and there are tutorials about this out there. So if you’re interested, then do watch those just type in to youtube, search, MailChimp tags or how to do MailChimp tags, and then now you want to click on this person gave me permission to email them and subscribe.

So this is how you can manually subscribe a person by the way you can also import subscribers. So here it says, input contacts and, for example, you can use CSV or tab the limit, the text files. This is very popular one, and I’ve made a video on how to do this.

I will also link it at the end of this video and in the description box as well. Now, once you have added your subscribers, the next step is to again I’m going here to the right-hand corner. The next step is to create signup forms.

Signup forms are important. This is the way that your subscribers or people can sign up to your audience list so to your list, and there are different types of signup forms that MailChimp offers. They have quite a variety.

The first one is the embedded forms and those are the ones that you can add to your website. For example, then you can also add a pop-up form to your website. This one here form integrations. I think this one is a paid feature, so I’m, not going to go through this one, and then you got the form builder, and this is where you can design your form.

If I click on it, let me just go down. This. Is the link – and you can add this link, like I mentioned to your social media accounts, unto YouTube, and this is the form if you want to know how to edit this form in detail, then please watch the full tutorial.

So here’s where they will add their email, their first name. Then this is gdpr which is enabled, but you can disable gdpr and gdpr just means that you are giving your subscribers a preference on what they want to receive from you.

So not just every kind of email that you offer, but maybe specific ones that they interested in. In my case, maybe they’re interested in recipes, so then they can choose just to get recipe emails from myself now embedded forms.

If I click on this embedded form option here again, if you want to know how to edit this embedded form, then do watch the full tutorial. You know. If you want to have a more customized signup form, you can go to Fiverr and pay someone to help.

You create a signup form, however, you can also use the MailChimp signup form like this one. It’s a basic, but it does the job. What you need to do is copy this link, and then you will need to paste it to your website.

Okay, so this is an example of a sign-up form, and this is the one that MailChimp offers and you can see here. If I scroll up a bit, they have different types, they have the classic one, which is this.

Then they have the condensed one, which is this, so it’s, basically just asking for the email address and if GDP are selected – and that is there as well horizontal is this. So it’s, very basic asking them for the email address and that’s.

That then you ‘ Ve got unstyled don’t recommend this one really looks very old-school, so here are examples of an embedded form that MailChimp offers. Now. Let me just quickly give you an example of a pop-up form, and then we move on to campaigns.

So, like I mentioned, a pop-up form is a form that will pop up when subscribers visit your website. So that can be immediately when they visit, or it can appear after five seconds after twenty seconds when they scroll to the middle or when they scroll.

To the end of the page or on exit – and you can see here – this is an example of a pop-up form that I’ve created. So I’ve added an image here. I’ve added a bit of text. People need to put in the email address here and I ‘

Ve got key DPR options here as well, and the subscribe button now all of this can be edited and in the full tutorial I’ll. Show you how you can edit this pop-up form so do check that out. If you’re interested in adding a pop-up form to your website? Okay, now let me X out so the next step after you have created your signup forms is to create your first email.

In order to do that, you want to click on campaigns. So campaign means you’re, sending an email. Basically, it’s, just another name for sending an email or sometimes people call it newsletter. Again. It’s, the same thing as well.

To create a campaign. You want to click on create campaign. You can also click here on, create and MailChimp offers several different campaigns that you can send. So obviously you ‘ Ve got the classic emails.

So let me click on email quickly. You can send a regular email, which is just basically a manual email that you send to your subscribers. You’ve got automated emails, and this is where you set a time and date.

So basically, you’re, not manually, sending them, and you can also have more than one automated email. So you can have several automated emails, so maybe you send one out when they subscribe, then you send one out the day after with a gift and another one.

So you can really schedule all of these emails to go out whenever you want you ‘ Ve got plain text which I’m, not going to go into an a/b test where you are testing one email against another. I’m, not going to go into that one as well, so you got regular and automated, and these are the most popular and I will show you examples of both in a second, then you’ve got ads and these are creating Facebook or Instagram ads or even Google Ads, I won’t, show you how to do this in this video, just because I think it’s better to create ads with Facebook or with Instagram, rather than with MailChimp, just because Facebook is The main platform, so why not create the ad on Facebook? That’s? My thinking, then you ‘

Ve got landing page, and this is quite a useful feature. I have made a video on how to create a landing page with MailChimp, and I will link that video again at the end of this video and in the description box.

If you’re interested, then we have postcards and you can design a postcard and then literally send it physically to your to your subscribers. And finally, you ‘ Ve got signup form, so in my detailed video on how to use MailChimp, I will show you exactly how to create pop-up forms and embedded forms and also how to build your form.

So please do check out that video, so very quickly. If I click on email here and I’m, just going to call this campaign and begin now – I’m just going to go into this briefly. However, if you’re interested in knowing how to create a detailed campaign with MailChimp, then please check out the full tutorial.

So the first step is to choose your audience and if you click on the arrow pointing down, you can choose from your created audience lists. Let me choose this one here, the last one, so I can create new segments or I can choose from the available segments.

The pre-built segments that MailChimp provides here new subscribers active subscribers inactive subscribers, so I can send emails to any of these segments. If I want and then I can also personalize the to field, so I can add their personal name here.

So if I click on that the merge tag, I can choose first name and then MailChimp will automatically add their first name to the campaign, so that’s quite useful. Let me just save this so from you’ve got my natural eater real at gmail.

com. However, I do recommend that you add your business email here then subject very important part of sending an email, so this might be the first and last thing your subscribers see, depending on how engaging and interesting your subject is and again, if you want to have an Example for the subject and preview text then do check out the full tutorial and finally design email.

So if I click on design email, the first step is to select a template. So I can choose from all of these lovely templates that MailChimp provides the one that I usually go for is the one Colin fool with.

So a lot of template that I have used in the past is the one to column fool with as well. I’m just going to go with the one column fool with as an example for this video. So let me click on that now, alright.

So once you have selected your template, this is your email builder, and here, on the right hand, corner is where you can choose from these different boxes. Once you drag and drop them, you can drop them anywhere here in the email builder area.

If you use your mouse to hover over the different blocks, you can see that you can edit your block by selecting the pencil icon here. You can also duplicate a block or you can delete a block. So say you want to add your logo.

Then you want to click on the pencil icon. Then click on replace so here’s, the area where you can upload your image from your computer. So you select your image from your computer once it is uploaded.

You select it say, for example, this one here and then insert click on insert if you want to delete this area here, for example, click on delete and then again click the and that block will be deleted.

If you want to edit your text, then click again on the pencil icon, and this is where you can add your header content as well as your information here and then, once you are done, you want to save and close they let you save and close.

You & # 39; ve also got the social media, icons here, Twitter, Facebook and your website, and then, if you click on the pencil icon again, you can add your link here to your Twitter link. Your Facebook link here, for example, it’s.

A setting you can, you know, change the layout of your icons like make them bigger, for example, again, if you want to see a detailed video on how I have modified all of these different areas, then please check out the full tutorial now, this last section you Don’t need to do anything because this will automatically be added by MailChimp, so they will add their logo.

They will add your address by default and they will also add the unsubscribe from the list link as well as update your preferences. So they will do that if you have less than 2000 subscribers and you are using the free option of MailChimp, then of course their logo will be at the end of your email, so every email that you send their logo will be at the end.

If you don’t want that to happen, then obviously you will have to go for the paid option now, once you’re happy, you want to save and close. The final thing you will need to do is to send your email or you can schedule it, so you can send an automated email as well.

Now. The last thing that I want to show you is just an example of a automated email and a regular email that I have already created. So if I just go back to campaigns by the way when you click on campaigns, this is where you ‘

Ll find all of your created campaigns and you can also sort them as well, so you can create folders for them. If you want to make it more orderly, which I do recommend, if you’re, sending tons of emails okay, so you can see I’ve added an image got some text here here I’ve got the the header Text I’ve added the name merge tag, which means that MailChimp will automatically add their first name here then I’ve got the button here, which I’ve added.

I’ve used the one two column template. This is why you ‘ Ve got the two columns here and I’ve added another image you’ve got my social media links here, and this is my address and I think at the end you ‘

Ve got the MailChimp logo there you go so this is an example of a regular campaign which can also become a automated campaign as well. This is the second email that subscribers will get when they sign up to my email.

So when subscribers subscribe to my email, they will get a welcome email, so just welcoming them that’s, the first email that they will get and then the second email will go out the day after and this is the email that they will get And basically, they will receive a free gift with 15 free, easy plant-based recipes.

This is an automated email. This is an example of an automated email and if you want to know how to create one like this or similar to this, then again watch the full tutorial. And if you want to access your templates, then this is where you can do that.

So if I click on templates here, so you can see that I have saved some of my emails already like you want to column that I showed you earlier, so I’m going to leave it here. I think this is a good overview on MailChimp and all of its features again, if you want to know exactly how to create a campaign, also how to create a list or an audience and how to set up your signup forms like your embedded, signup forms and Pop-Up forms, then I do recommend that you watch the full tutorial which I will leave at the end of this video now, so you’re, going to see it now, pop-up and also in the description box.

The post LEARN MAILCHIMP FAST IN 16 MINUTES! appeared first on Ask Root.

The first is to create a follow up sequence that will indoctrinate your leads with your content. It’s. Gon na deliver your free thing. It’s. Gon na start the relationship building process with you once that follow-up sequence, the autoresponder is completed, there will be a system that builds you a broadcast segment.

These are for your daily emails and future ongoing emails. This way, you can mail your broadcast segment separately every day and it won’t double email or interfere with people who are going through your follow-up sequence.

This is how I run my autoresponder. This is how my wife runs her autoresponder that seen hundreds of thousands of leads go through it. Obviously, this is how I recommend you do now. We’re, not going to go into the actual.

What to say in the emails. My wife and I created a separate video on that. I’ll link you to that video for the actual content of what goes in the emails in the description below I’ve got some content just in a notepad file that I’m gonna be adding to make The process, quick to show you exactly how to get this all set up the one other thing I’m using Aweber.

If you’re, not on Aweber, yet you can get it at Myles, Beckler, comm, /a Weber. I am an affiliate that is an affiliate link. I do receive a little kickback, but I also believe that a weber is the number one auto responder for people who are just getting started with email marketing.

If you’re under 30,000 or 50,000 subscribers, and you’re, really still just getting momentum on your side, whoever makes things easier than most other companies, and I’ve been testing their deliver ability.

It is still the best deliver ability in the industry. It actually beat active campaigns deliverability by over 6 %. Imagine that 6 % of your efforts on some other campaign system won’t even reach the inbox where they actually reach the inbox.

Here with a weber, so that’s, a key to your long-term success follow along. I’m gonna jump on the computer now and show you how to get this all set up and let’s. Do it. So we’re here in a weber and i’m on my DIY sales funnel list, which is the list that I’m, creating this autoresponder for – and this is the campaign Paige you get here from messages, and you Click on campaigns you can see.

I have none of them yet so you can click create here or click create there and it wants us to name it now really quickly. If you’re running multiple offers and giveaways from one domain, for example, you have like a Facebook entrance and something free for Facebook, then you have a funnel giveaway for the funnel side of things and you have a Google paid traffic giveaway.

You will create a separate campaign for each giveaway because each of them will have a separate follow-up sequence and you can still put people back on one broadcast list so long term. You’re only managing one broadcast list, but for this example, I’m just doing one.

So I’m gonna put it as the name of the list, and now we’re inside of the campaign. You can use these campaigns in a couple of different ways and they’re. Very powerful number one is to run the main list, and this is the on subscribe, which is what we’re gonna use today, when a user subscribes to this list here’s, what happens? The other is when you apply a specific tag.

This is more advanced and essentially, if you have in your autoresponder sequence, let’s say you mention a Facebook tutorial and they click on the Facebook tutorial. You could then add a tag that would move them to another campaign that goes deeper into Facebook products.

This is the kind of segmenting type of stuff. This is advanced, email, marketing, Frank Curtin calls this dynamic behavioural response marketing. We will build our way up to that, but for right now you just want to get one email, autoresponder series created, so we’re gonna use on subscribe.

Now we ‘ Ve got three options on the left. You can either drag and drop or double click them, but essentially I ‘ Ve got a four email sequence and it doesn’t matter. Whether you’ve got our two email sequence or a 30 email sequence.

You build it out the exact same. We want to alternate email and then wait for a day and then email and wait for a day. So I’m gonna get that set up right now again, you can drag them and drop them in order or you can simply double click.

So now I’ve created four emails because I have written four emails again. It’s up to you what’s best for your business, and you can see our video where we talk about the content for these in the description below.

But you want to make sure that the send message is first. So right. After they subscribe, they’re gonna get delivery of the item that you promised them from your opt-in page. Then we’re gonna wait a day, email wait a day, email three-way two-day email four-way today and here’s, the magic behind the system.

We now want to apply a tag at the bottom, so at the bottom we’re, applying a tag and what I’m gonna name. This tag is my list broadcast when I say my list for me, it’s, DIY sales funnel right, because that’s.

The name of my list – and this is what I’m gon – na – build my segment off of in the future of this video, and to do that, you simply add this tag. You create it right here in the system. I’m gonna. Do that right now and again I name it with the list and also the broadcast.

So I know essentially what I want to focus us on and you can see now that it’s, got that kind of graded out and turned it into a little bubble. I know that it has finished and it says, apply tag DIY sales funnel broadcast.

Now these emails, I’ve, just put in there’s, nothing in them. Yet right there there’s, no content in there, and I have, as I mentioned, I’ve, got this notepad with email, one email to email, three email for now for pure transparency and to show you how I go through this process.

Super quickly, I’m gonna use the speed up function and post-production, as I’m going through this to make it really fast. So you can see exactly what I’m doing, but it’s not gonna take forever. Although I’m gonna, do it in real time here with you watching, but what we want to do is I want to click on this.

Send message and I’m gonna click create a message I prefer. There drag and drop email builder, although I’m sending what’s gonna look like an H. What’s? Gon na look like a plain text: email excuse me: we want it to be built with their HTML system.

So we can do all the click tracking and all of the fancy stuff in here. So this one will be a little slower. I’ll speed up the next one, but we add our subject up top, which I’ve already written up here.

I’m gonna copy that now inside of the content area, I’m simply going to copy this all and delete it out, and I’m gonna copy. Take my content here, paste it in. I’m gonna add the extra space because it kind of squished that out, you know, got to make it looking good.

Then I want to take my link and make sure it’s, a clickable hyperlink and again you are able to add fancy functionality on these clicks. If you want, I’m, not gonna. Do anything that yet and then the last thing I do here is I copy this whole thing and I bump the size up to 16 point.

It’s very easy to read at 16 point, and this is essentially how I’m. Gon na send out this email – I’m done with this here, so I’m gonna click, save and exit, and I’m gonna go on to the next ones, and I’m gonna Complete this process again four times over, just to make sure I get it done and setup correctly.

It takes me back to this main kind of campaign and you can see I ‘ Ve got my next one, my first one in and then I’m gonna set up the second one, the third one, the fourth one I’m gonna pull that off really quickly here and I’ll catch Right back up with you in a heartbeat, you all right and we’re back now.

I have my four messages. One two, three four messages that are gonna go automated, so it’s, an autoresponder. Then I have my one day break in between each of those, so you’ll, get message 1 after subscribing it’ll, wait, add a message to wait a day 3 way to day 4 way today, and then it applies the tag At this point, I’m done inside of this campaign.

You can see it’s still in draft mode, because I got all that setup. So I’m gonna click, save and exit, and that’s. It I’ve, got it running. I’m gonna activate this. Now it is active. So now I actually have all of my kind of new subscribers are gonna go through this sequence.

You can see you can follow along with the open percent and the click percent, that’ll help. You optimize your headlines and your email copy in the future. But ultimately I’m done at this point. So now we need to go set up the broadcast segment to do this.

We want to go over here to subscribers and we want to click manage subscribers. Now I don’t. Have anyone in this role yet, but I’m gonna show you how to set it up and if you’re just getting started, you won’t.

Have anyone in this role yet as well and that’s? Okay, here’s, how you set it up because we will be able to use this in the future, collect, select field and then tag is and then we need to enter our tag name now I’m gonna click search and You see it pulls up that tag name, and you may be one of the copy and paste it we might want to go double check.

This is very, very key to your success here that this is the exact tag that we had in the campaigns area. So let’s even just take a quick heartbeat to show you how important it is. I’m, actually gonna take the time to double check it.

Real quick DIY sales funnel broadcast DIY sales from a broadcast, and this I’m, going to name it as DIY sales funnel broadcast. Now I have an actual segment of people who will have gone through that entire process of the follow up sequence and they’re now in the broadcast.

So when I want to send a broadcast, I go here to messages. I click broadcasts and then I will create a new message: let’s, use the drag and drop. I’m, just gonna kind of put some some garb league OOP in here real quick.

Just because I want to show you the full process, even though I’m, not gonna send this email, but I want you to see how so same stuff perfect. I’m gonna save and exit. Now I’m gonna choose who to send this to so I go to send options and schedule a broadcast and right here it says who should receive this message.

Currently it’s, set to everyone. Diy sales funnel active subscribers, but I don’t want that, because some people are going through the follow up, and I want to make sure I honor that follow-up sequence.

So what I want to change it to is the DIY. You can see it right down here. Diy sales funnel broadcast it popped up in the segment list. I click apply and there it is now. This email is gonna, go out to just the people who have that broadcast tag right there and that’s.

It real quick to show you how you would potentially tag someone on a click and move them into another automation. That’s right here in the automation, so you can edit the automations and you can put on the message open.

You can add certain tags or if there’s, a link, it ‘ Ll, give you the click, automations and you can add a tag when someone clicks, which means you can move them to another campaign when they click.

So if they’re reading, your follow-up sequence and they click on an email about, subject c – and you have a separate follow-up that goes deeper on subject C, when they click to the blog post, you have you can move them over to that segment.

To follow up more, it turns your autoresponder sequence into a choose-your-own-adventure. I would simply apply this, which I’m, not going to complete, because I don’t want to accidentally send this out.

I would click apply and send message. Now is how I would broadcast to my broadcast segment and that’s, it. That is how I set up my email systems. This is the autoresponder very tactical stuff, but it’s important because you do need to have two things going on with your email marketing number one.

You need to bring them through your indoctrination sequence. You saw exactly how to do that. Setting up the campaign, then you use a Weber’s tagging campaign to tag them at the end with your broadcast tag and you can tag people from multiple different campaigns with the same broadcast tag and then once this is all set up, all you Need to do is log into Aweber set up a new broadcast, choose the segment of your broadcast tag and then send them out your daily emails, your other every other day emails.

However, you’re going about it. This is how I’m managing my email system. This is how I recommend you manage your email system. I really prefer sending out broadcast emails, that’s. Why? I keep my follow-up sequences short that allows me to really just catch people up on on Who I am what I offer what I’m.

Doing that way, I can get those daily emails out, because that’s, really where you build a connection with people today’s, a holiday, it’s Memorial Day, so I sent an email today to my list about the Holiday and I use these kind of current events and these ideas and my ongoing thought, trains and my responses to two video comments.

Those are always new ideas to help me continue to help you as an email, subscriber and that is through the daily broadcast emails. That’s. Why there’s, so much value in it, and I highly recommend you implement this system here again.

If you’re, not on Aweber, yet go to Aweber or go excuse me go to Myles, Becker comm, /a Weber, that is my affiliate link. It does help me generate a bit of revenue to keep me making these videos these helpful videos for you.

I’ll, probably make some more advanced segmenting and all that kind of stuff. I talked about a little bit. I’ll, make those videos in the future, but ultimately let’s. Get you set up, let’s, get you running, because you need to have your opt-in page, giving away something of value.

You need to have your email system following up building the relationship, and then you need the ability to broadcast out new ideas. New offers new helpful emails, as these ideas come out to you and that my friend is the foundation you need for successful email marketing.

This is a timeless approach to email marketing. It is fantastic here in 2018. This is exactly what I’ll, be running in 2019 and beyond this, my friend is ultimately the machine and the asset that drives your business.

My wife and I make most of our money right of the millions of dollars we’ve made online. Most of it comes in direct response to the emails we ‘ Ve sent out to our lists, can ‘ T stress it enough building a list and then ultimately growing a relationship with your list through consistently giving value.

That will keep you top of mind that’ll. Keep you right in the forefront of their thoughts when the time is right for them to purchase. You will be the obvious choice and you’ll, probably be popping up in their email that day, that’s, a win-win right there.

My friend I’ve, run long enough on this. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. If you have given thumbs up. Do you know somebody who’s, trying to figure out how to get their email marketing going grab the link share it with them, embed it in a in a blog post? If you’d, like just give me a little link to miles Becker comm, if you do, I do appreciate that and any questions you can get at me in the comments below.

The post Aweber Email Marketing Automation appeared first on Ask Root.

The first step is, of course, to sign up with MailChimp, and that is a very quick process. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes. If you want to know how to do this step by step, then do watch that full tutorial.

So once you have set up your MailChimp account and you log into your account, this is going to be your dashboard area and it might look a little bit different from my screen here, just because I have already set up my audience and campaigns and templates the Thing you need to know is that up here is where all of the magic happens.

So this is where you can create your emails, which you can then send out to your subscribers, and this is where you can create lists. So your audience. This is where you can build your audience, and here’s, where you can see more statistics, and this is where you can access all of your content – that you’ve already uploaded to your MailChimp account so, for example, images, PDF files And things like that now, when you first log into your MailChimp account, the first thing that I recommend you do is to create a list and MailChimp have recently changed the name from list to audience.

It means the same thing, so it means a place where you can store all of your subscribers. Now, when you click on the audience, you can see here. I have got two lists that have already been created. The first one has 0 subscribers, so 0 contact, and the second one has 1 subscriber.

So one contact now, if you want to create a new audience, the way to do that is to click on this arrow here, on the right hand, the corner where it says, manage audience, and then you want to click on view audiences and here, where it says, create Audience click on create an audience, and then you want to complete this part here, for example, audience name your subscribers will see this so make it something appropriate.

So, for example, you could say in my case natural a bit a newsletter from the default email address. In my case, it would be something like info at natural betta net, that’s. My website address, so I do recommend that you add your website address.

If you’ve got one. If you don’t, you can add a personal email address here, default name again, something that your subscribers will recognize like your personal name or company name here, you can add how your subscribers joined your newsletters here.

You need to add your address, so this is legally required. You can also enable GDP, especially if you’re, sending your emails to European subscribers. Then that is mandatory and I’ve explained more about this subject in the full tutorial.

So please watch that and here again you got notifications, so you can choose between getting daily summaries, which I do recommend. I don’t recommend one by one, that’s, just gonna bombard your email, so you can get a daily summary of subscribers and nonsubscribers yes, and once you’ve completed that you can save your list.

So let me just go back, will click on the audience here again now, once you have created your audience or your list, the next thing is, of course, you can add a subscriber to your list, so you can maybe start with adding yourself so click on add a Subscriber and what you need to do here is to add the person.

Email address their first name and there are tutorials about this out there. So if you’re interested, then do watch those just type into youtube, search, MailChimp tags, or how to do MailChimp tags, and then now you want to click on this person gave me permission to email them and subscribe.

So this is how you can manually subscribe to a person by the way you can also import subscribers. So here it says, input contacts and, for example, you can use CSV or tab the limit, the text files. This is a very popular one, and I’ve made a video on how to do this.

I will also link it at the end of this video and in the description box as well. Now, once you have added your subscribers, the next step is to again I’m going here to the right-hand corner. The next step is to create signup forms.

Signup forms are important. This is the way that your subscribers or people can sign up to your audience list so to your list, and there are different types of signup forms that MailChimp offers. They have quite a variety.

The first one is the embedded forms and those are the ones that you can add to your website. For example, then you can also add a pop-up form to your website. This one here forms integrations. I think this one is a paid feature, so I’m, not going to go through this one, and then you got the form builder, and this is where you can design your form.

If I click on it, let me just go down. This. Is the link – and you can add this link, as I mentioned to your social media accounts, unto YouTube, and this is the form if you want to know how to edit this form in detail, then please watch the full tutorial.

So here’s where they will add their email, their first name. Then this is GDP which is enabled, but you can disable gdpr and gdpr just means that you are giving your subscribers a preference on what they want to receive from you.

So not just every kind of email that you offer, but maybe specific ones that they are interested in. In my case, maybe they’re interested in recipes, so then they can choose just to get recipe emails from myself now embedded forms.

If I click on this embedded form option here again, if you want to know how to edit this embedded form, then do watch the full tutorial. You know. If you want to have a more customized signup form, you can go to Fiverr and pay someone to help.

You create a signup form, however, you can also use the MailChimp signup form like this one. It’s basic, but it does the job. What you need to do is copy this link, and then you will need to paste it to your website.

Okay, so this is an example of a sign-up form, and this is the one that MailChimp offers and you can see here. If I scroll up a bit, they have different types, they have the classic one, which is this.

Then they have the condensed one, which is this, so it’s, basically just asking for the email address and if GDP is selected – and that is there as well horizontal is this. So it’s, very basic asking them for the email address and that’s.

That then you ‘ Ve got unstyled don’t recommend this one really looks very old-school, so here are examples of an embedded form that MailChimp offers. Now. Let me just quickly give you an example of a pop-up form, and then we move on to campaigns.

So, as I mentioned, a pop-up form is a form that will pop up when subscribers visit your website. So that can be immediately when they visit, or it can appear after five seconds after twenty seconds when they scroll to the middle or when they scroll.

To the end of the page or on exit – and you can see here – this is an example of a pop-up form that I’ve created. So I’ve added an image here. I’ve added a bit of text. People need to put in the email address here and I ‘

Ve got key DPR options here as well, and the subscribe button now all of this can be edited, and in the full tutorial, I’ll. Show you how you can edit this pop-up form so do check that out. If you’re interested in adding a pop-up form to your website? Okay, now let me X out so the next step after you have created your signup forms is to create your first email.

To do that, you want to click on campaigns. So campaign means you’re, sending an email. Basically, it’s, just another name for sending an email or sometimes people call it a newsletter. Again. It’s the same thing as well.

To create a campaign. You want to click on create a campaign. You can also click here on, create and MailChimp offers several different campaigns that you can send. So obviously you ‘ Ve got the classic emails.

So let me click on email quickly. You can send a regular email, which is just basically a manual email that you send to your subscribers. You’ve got automated emails, and this is where you set a time and date.

So basically, you’re, not manually, sending them, and you can also have more than one automated email. So you can have several automated emails, so maybe you send one out when they subscribe, then you send one out the day after with a gift and another one.

So you can really schedule all of these emails to go out whenever you want you ‘ Ve got a plain text which I’m, not going to go into an a/b test where you are testing one email against another. I’m, not going to go into that one as well, so you got regular and automated, and these are the most popular and I will show you examples of both in a second, then you’ve got ads and these are creating Facebook or Instagram ads or even Google Ads, I won’t, show you how to do this in this video, just because I think it’s better to create ads with Facebook or with Instagram, rather than with MailChimp, just because Facebook is The main platform, so why not create the ad on Facebook? That’s? My thinking, then you ‘

Ve got a landing page, and this is quite a useful feature. I have made a video on how to create a landing page with MailChimp, and I will link that video again at the end of this video and in the description box.

If you’re interested, then we have postcards and you can design a postcard and then literally send it physically to your subscribers. And finally, you ‘ Ve got signup form, so in my detailed video on how to use MailChimp, I will show you exactly how to create pop-up forms and embedded forms and also how to build your form.

So please do check out that video, so very quickly. If I click on email here and I’m, just going to call this campaign and begin now – I’m just going to go into this briefly. However, if you’re interested in knowing how to create a detailed campaign with MailChimp, then please check out the full tutorial.

So the first step is to choose your audience and if you click on the arrow pointing down, you can choose from your created audience lists. Let me choose this one here, the last one, so I can create new segments or I can choose from the available segments.

The pre-built segments that MailChimp provides here new subscribers active subscribers inactive subscribers, so I can send emails to any of these segments. If I want and then I can also personalize the to field, so I can add their personal name here.

So if I click on that the merge tag, I can choose the first name and then MailChimp will automatically add their first name to the campaign, so that’s quite useful. Let me just save this so from you’ve got my natural eater real at Gmail.

com. However, I do recommend that you add your business email here then subject very important part of sending an email, so this might be the first and last thing your subscribers see, depending on how engaging and interesting your subject is and again, if you want to have an Example for the subject and preview text then do check out the full tutorial and finally design email.

So if I click on the design email, the first step is to select a template. So I can choose from all of these lovely templates that MailChimp provides the one that I usually go for is the one Colin fool with.

So a lot of templates that I have used in the past are the ones to column fool with as well. I’m just going to go with the one column fool with as an example for this video. So let me click on that now, alright.

So once you have selected your template, this is your email builder, and here, on the right hand, the corner is where you can choose from these different boxes. Once you drag and drop them, you can drop them anywhere here in the email builder area.

If you use your mouse to hover over the different blocks, you can see that you can edit your block by selecting the pencil icon here. You can also duplicate a block or you can delete a block. So say you want to add your logo.

Then you want to click on the pencil icon. Then click on replace so here’s, the area where you can upload your image from your computer. So you select your image from your computer once it is uploaded.

You select it says, for example, this one here and then insert click on insert if you want to delete this area here, for example, click on delete and then again click the and that block will be deleted.

If you want to edit your text, then click again on the pencil icon, and this is where you can add your header content as well as your information here, and then, once you are done, you want to save and close they let you save and close.

You & # 39; ve also got the social media, icons here, Twitter, Facebook, and your website, and then, if you click on the pencil icon again, you can add your link here to your Twitter link. Your Facebook link here, for example, it’s.

A setting you can, you know, change the layout of your icons like make them bigger, for example, again, if you want to see a detailed video on how I have modified all of these different areas, then please check out the full tutorial now, this last section you Don’t need to do anything because this will automatically be added by MailChimp, so they will add their logo.

They will add your address by default and they will also add the unsubscribe from the list link as well as update your preferences. So they will do that if you have less than 2000 subscribers and you are using the free option of MailChimp, then, of course, their logo will be at the end of your email, so every email that you send their logo will be at the end.

If you don’t want that to happen, then obviously you will have to go for the paid option now, once you’re happy, you want to save and close. The final thing you will need to do is to send your email or you can schedule it, so you can send an automated email as well.

Now. The last thing that I want to show you is just an example of an automated email and a regular email that I have already created. So if I just go back to campaigns by the way when you click on campaigns, this is where you ‘

Ll find all of your created campaigns and you can also sort them as well, so you can create folders for them. If you want to make it more orderly, which I do recommend, if you’re, sending tons of emails, okay, so you can see I’ve added an image got some text here I’ve got the header Text I’ve added the name merge tag, which means that MailChimp will automatically add their first name here then I’ve got the button here, which I’ve added.

I’ve used the one two-column template. This is why you ‘ Ve got the two columns here and I’ve added another image you’ve got my social media links here, and this is my address and I think at the end you ‘

Ve got the MailChimp logo there you go so this is an example of a regular campaign that can also become an automated campaign as well. This is the second email that subscribers will get when they sign up for my email.

So when subscribers subscribe to my email, they will get a welcome email, so just welcoming them that’s, the first email that they will get and then the second email will go out the day after and this is the email that they will get And basically, they will receive a gift with 15 free, easy plant-based recipes.

This is an automated email. This is an example of an automated email and if you want to know how to create one like this or similar to this, then again watch the full tutorial. And if you want to access your templates, then this is where you can do that.

So if I click on templates here, you can see that I have saved some of my emails already like you want to column that I showed you earlier, so I’m going to leave it here. I think this is a good overview on MailChimp and all of its features again, if you want to know exactly how to create a campaign, also how to create a list or an audience and how to set up your signup forms like your embedded, signup forms and Pop-Up forms, then I do recommend that you watch the full tutorial which I will leave at the end of this video now, so you’re, going to see it now, pop-up and also in the description box.

The post LEARN MAILCHIMP FAST IN 16 MINUTES ! appeared first on Ask Root.

So let’s, go ahead and get started. Alright, everyone, let’s, go ahead and get started and create the the first email list that you’ll, create here now, as I mentioned in the introduction, I am using Aweber and I use Aweber because I prefer it it’s what I really started with and if you go out there and you look, there are a lot of email marketing platforms that exist, but I prefer Aweber and most people are going to start with.

Usually Aweber or MailChimp are probably two of the most popular ones to start with, they both offer free trials and everything like that for the first 30 days. But the difference is a weber actually lets.

You begin by being able to use an autoresponder and an autoresponder is really the key to email marketing in general. In my opinion, it’s very, very, very powerful MailChimp. Their free plan does not allow that, but after 30 days you can.

You know I like to purchase a plan, so I use Aweber. It is 19 hours a month, totally free trial to start out and that’s. The one that I’ve been using. Never let me down so I recommend a weber, but with that being said, let me go ahead and show you within a web or how we can actually do this now.

The process of doing this is going to be similar in a lot of the platforms, but the interface is gonna be a little bit different. So I wanted to do this walkthrough to help you out – and this is my recommended platform, but that doesn ‘

T necessarily mean that you have to use it okay, so we’re gonna go ahead and get started here. The first thing we want to do now: this is the home page, and you see some subscriber stats here that uh.

You know you may not see on your platform, but let’s, go ahead and start here and we want to go into manage lists. So we’re gonna click on manage lists, and after we’ve clicked on manage lists, we want to actually create a list so that’s, going to be us creating our first list.

So let’s; click on create a list all right, and now that we’re here. It wants us to set up our information. So I have a lot of this information already set up, and I’m just gonna keep this in here. You would obviously put your own website URL, and you have to have an address within your emails.

This is really important, so the can-spam act basically made it so that legally you have to have a physical address associated with your business. You can use your house address, you can also use a p.

o box. You have to use something so whatever that may be, you know figure out putting in address for those that think. Well, my privacy and I’m nervous and you know I don’t want people to see my my address because they will be able to see this okay.

It’s, a good idea to go to get a peel box or something like that or use a different address that you, don’t actually live at, but that information there and then the sender names. So, who is when, when people receive an email from you, what is it going to say it’s sent from so for me, it’s run and then the pipe when our professor comm and then the sender email Ron at one.

Our professor comm okay, so that’s. What I put in there, we’ll, go to the next step. Now this is the list name now for this. I’m just going to put demo list. You would want to name this. This is something that is just for your own organization on the backend okay, so I’m gonna put demo list, and then this is the demo list.

Description and people will actually see this description when they’re subscribing to your list, so you want to make this so it’s. Actually, you know sounds good to the person that’s, considering signing up for the next step, and now you have to choose a subject line for your confirmation email.

So you ‘ Ve probably done this before, where you go in, and you know you said yeah, I’ll sign up for the list and then you get a confirmation, email or otherwise known as a double opt-in, so that’s.

What this is for so the subject line, we can kind of say whatever we want here or choose the ones that are already created, which are all pretty good. I usually just go with. You know. First name confirm your subscription that’s.

What I do you can request approval for a custom subject line, but I’ve, never done it. I don’t. Think it’s really worth the time. So I usually leave it and then you can. He you can. Edit, this top part, which is nice, so you can actually edit the top part and and change that if you want to – and you can also edit the bottom part here – I’m fine with what this says and truthfully, I probably wouldn’t change too much about it.

I would maybe change the top part a little bit if you wanted to, but bottom parts. Fine. So let’s, go to approve message and create list, and that’s. It. Your list is now created, so when you create a list there’s, two different things you really want to do from the beginning.

The first thing is, you want to go into messages, go to legacy, follow-up mess or legacy follow-up series, sorry or follow-up series – and here you’d – want to do a drag-and-drop email builder, and what you want to do here why? This is really important.

Is you want to create a welcome message? You know, welcome people to the list tell them what they can expect to get and explain to them. You know what is going to be coming in the future for them that’s.

What you want to do with this, and also in the subject line you know, welcome you know, first name to our email list or whatever it may be, just send them a welcome email, and then you save it. The reason why you want to do this in the beginning, you guys is because that is going to be something that when somebody goes onto your website and they sign up for your list immediately right after they get done or yeah right after they get done, subscribing They are going to get that email from you and in that email you can say welcome.

You can also include links back to your website so that they can get the opt-in. You know ebook whatever it is. You can actually include a link in the email itself to give them the the ebook or whatever it is that your you have created as an opt-in.

So you can do that and it basically starts you off on the right foot and sets expectations. So that’s, the first thing. The second thing that you need to do – or you can do you don’t necessarily need to.

But if we go into here into list options and list settings, so you see here that there’s, some some list settings that we can change. I just want to make you aware of this, so this isn’t all that pop or important here you can pretty much leave it, as is you can personalize your list if you want to your email signature, you know and change that up.

If you’d, like social media and sharing so tweet your broadcasts or pull broadcasts on Facebook, if you want to send your emails out that way, it’s, a nice thing. Some people do that some people do not right.

Here is the global text snippets, which is really important at the bottom of your emails. You can actually have a global text snippet, which you know if it’s, a particular product or a demo, or something that you’re.

You’re, telling people hey, you know you should try this out. You can actually put a global snippet and it’ll, go into every single email, which is nice. It’s, a nice little feature there and then. Lastly, is the confirmed opt-in? Okay, so this is really important.

So if you are doing a confirmed opt-in, this is where you can edit the email, the subject line, and then here you can actually say I do want to require the opt-in or maybe I don’t now I do you know I mentioned this Here I do want to say that you should probably do a double opt-in, definitely to start, and you can kind of test to see if you need to change that, but definitely start with that, and you can send it confirmed opt-in, email for web forms.

You want to make this so that is on. If you don’t want a confirm, opt-in, you just click this and it ‘ Ll. Tell you hey, you know you’re about to turn off, confirmed opt-in. You say yes, and now you no longer are going to be sending a confirmed opt-in.

So what will happen? Is someone will go to your website? They’ll, see a box that says: hey give us your. You know first name and email and you can sign up and then they click you know they put in their information they submit and they ‘

Ll automatically be subscribed to your list right then, and there, which is good, but also bad, because they haven’t confirmed that email, so it could be a junk email, so you got ta be careful with that.

The other thing with this is that if you have confirmed opt-in right, then you can send them to a confirmation, success, page URL. So this would be the page on your website after they have clicked, so they go to the email address or they go to their email address.

They click on the email that you sent them and then they click on the confirmation link, basically verifying. Yes, this is a real email from there. This would be the URL on your website that you would want them to go back to so this could be an email that or a URL that basically says hey.

You know thank you for signing up, really appreciate everything here’s, a link to the e-book that sort of thing, so that’s. What we do with that, and then this is past subscriber info for personalizing, the page, as it says now recommended for WordPress users.

I don’t use this because I aim exclusively using WordPress and then you save your settings and that’s it so that is, you know the basics of setting up an email list. It’s. Really that simple. We’re gonna be under ten minutes here.

The post Tutorial: Creating an Email List in Aweber appeared first on Ask Root.

Number one has been through just building my brand, early on I was using email marketing as a method of brand building by sending around helpful articles and newsletters. Number two I used email marketing as a means of marketing my course on investing in the stock market, about a year and a half ago.

And then recently I have used email marketing as a method of basically taking my efforts for affiliate marketing, and improving them. And number three finally, most recently I have been using email marketing with my blog, investingsimple.

blog, as a means of making money through affiliate marketing, and I actually have different recommendations based on each of these three situations, based on the email marketing softwares or services I have used in the past.

Now my two recommendations here are going to be numbered one, AWeber, which is the email marketing software I am currently using, and I’ll go over a number of reasons why I am using this one specifically.

And then number two, Mailchimp, which is the one that I was using previously when I was doing that brand building for myself and also marketing my investing course. And before we get into the review here, I just want to go ahead and show you guys one item here that’s available through AWeber that I have found to be extremely useful and valuable, regardless of whether or not you’re actually going to go with AWeber or a different email marketing provider out there.

They offer a lot of free information here when it comes to getting started with crafting you’re emails and learning more about email marketing, they offer 45 plus email content templates, as well as a complete course that’s going to show you how to get started with email marketing, that’s gonna be the top link in the description below.

And again, I would recommend that to anyone regardless of whether or not you’re actually going to use AWeber, they offer this completely free to anyone out there who is interested. So first of all what I wanna go ahead and do is log you guys into my AWeber dashboard and show you exactly how I am using AWeber for my affiliate marketing efforts, and actually the different lists that I have created here.

Just to give you guys a quick overview of this platform. Then I’m gonna go into the reasons why I specifically chose to use AWeber. And then we’re gonna transition into talking about Mailchimp, which is my number two pick, and the different types of businesses I would recommend for AWeber versus using Mailchimp.

So first of all, this right here is my AWeber dashboard, as you can see, today I’ve grown my lists by 59 subscribers, 24 yesterday, and I have a total of 3,017. And this right here is a recently sent broadcast email.

So, primarily you can use email marketing softwares for one of two things. Number one, setting up an autoresponder, which is mostly what I’m doing with my email marketing efforts. And then number two, you can send out these broadcast emails, that are going to go right to all of the members of your list, or as an autoresponder is only going to be sending emails to new subscribers on a recurring basis of maybe everyday or every couple of days.

Now, within AWeber you can have multiple different lists, as you can see I have three different ones here, one being my Affiliate Marketing Course list, number two being my Test Group Applications for a course I am launching, and then number three, my InvestingSimple list, which is tied into my InvestingSimple blog.

And then you basically just choose this dropdown menu up top here to decide which list you want to be looking at. So, we’re gonna start off here with InvestingSimple, and I’m gonna show you what my autoresponder looks like, and you view that by just going over here to Messages, and taking a look at the Campaigns.

So, it’s a very straight forward, easy to understand platform. To be honest with you guys, when you first get started with it, it might be a little bit strange finding out where everything is, but once you get the just of it, I have found it to be the easiest email marketing software to use.

And this right here is my basic welcome campaign, and this is what I’m using to basically monetize the back-end of my InvestingSimple blog. Now, in case you’re not familiar with what that looks like, let me just show you guys quickly, we’ll jump over to my blog, and I’ll show you what I am doing to be collecting emails.

Essentially on the homepage of my blog people can click this button to get the Beginner’s Guide to Investing. Once they click that, they’re brought over to a ClickFunnels landing page, which integrates directly with AWeber, and they can drop their name and email to get a completely free copy of my investing book that I put together.

And then after they receive that book, they receive a series of follow-up emails that contain affiliate links for a different brokerages or investing apps, or budgeting apps that I am personally affiliated with, which allows me to make money on the back-end with this email list.

And that’s the best part about email marketing, is that if you’re actually doing it correctly, what you’re making from these emails is going to far surpass how much it costs you for this email marketing service.

Both Mailchimp and AWeber are almost identical in terms of pricing. So, I don’t look at it in terms of price, I look at it in terms of the functionality as well as what type of emails you can send through each platform.

But I wouldn’t worry too much about the price of either one of these, because you’re emails alone should be bringing you more business or making you more money than it costs you to actually have that email service subscription.

And as you can see on the right-hand side here, this is the actual email sequence that people receive, it starts off with the welcome email for the Free Investing Guide, and then it goes into a series of different affiliate related emails, as you can see here, this one has a 32% open rate, 8% click rate.

And I haven’t really optimized these emails, but over 20% in most cases is generally what you’re looking for. And I believe this is a eight or nine day email marketing sequence. And then let’s say for example you wanna switch over to a different list and view, your autoresponder will jump over to my Affiliate Marketing course, and this one is a significantly longer one here where people receive a series of, I think this one is actually 30 emails long.

Now this one I didn’t write myself, I have a copywriter who does some of my emails for me. But the ones from my InvestingSimple list, I absolutely wrote these emails myself, using a lot of those tips from that free guide there, that AWeber has put together on Email Marketing for Beginners, which is going to be again, that top link in the description.

Now I will say this, this right here is the extent to which I use AWeber for email marketing. I don’t get into anything more confusing than this, I basically just setup campaigns like this or auto responders that are going to send emails automatically as people are added to the list, or I will occasionally send out broadcast emails.

I don’t get into tags or A/B testing or any of that, so I can’t speak to those features, because I have personally never used them, or any more types of advanced reporting. But I’ll go ahead and show you guys what these emails look like, and to be honest with you, they are extremely simple.

I will open up the welcome email for the free Investing Guide, and you might be thinking to yourself, well, why wouldn’t I wanna have more bells and whistles and fancy images and pictures, and what I have found is that, the simpler the emails are that you’re sending people, the better.

Because if you send something loaded up with images and flashy GIFs and all this different stuff, it looks like a mass produced email, and I have found less and less people actually open it, so I stick to the very simple text emails just like this, and that is all you ever really see from my email marketing efforts, is just straight text emails, just like this.

So, that is my number one recommendation for people who are doing affiliate marketing or any kind of personal brand building, maybe you’re selling a digital product or building a personal brand online, I would personally recommend AWeber, and that’s exactly what I’m using for these different purposes.

Now we’re gonna get into number two now, and talk about Mailchimp, and you’re gonna understand a little bit more why I transitioned from using Mailchimp to using AWeber for my email marketing.

And if you guys do decide that you wanna sign up with AWeber, I have a link in the description below. It is an affiliate link, you guys don’t have to use it if you don’t want to, but I certainly do appreciate it, as at no additional cost, you can help me out and support my channel for putting this video together.

So here we have the Mailchimp dashboard, I still have my account activated under the free plan, because I just leave it open just in case I wanna go back in here and look at any of the old emails that I’ve sent.

And this is why I really like Mailchimp, is because they offer a free plan for up to 2000 subscribers, and this is great for people looking to get started with email marketing. One downside to AWeber is that after that 30 day free trial, you do have to pay, it’s a certain price per month, and all the email marketing providers out there, they charge you a monthly fee or monthly subscription cost based on your number of subscribers.

Now in terms of the pricing between Mailchimp and AWeber, after that 2000 subscriber threshold they’re pricing is almost identical, but I really do like Mailchimp because they offer that free plan for you to get your feet wet with email marketing.

But I wanna just quickly segue and talk about why Mailchimp may not be a good fit for you. And that is the fact that Mailchimp is best for people who have goods and services or a brick and mortar business.

Maybe you sell shirts online, or you have some kind of online store. Maybe you have some kind of art blog, and you’re looking to send really nice beautiful well crafted emails, because to be honest with you, in terms of the emails you can create, you can make beautiful, very visually appealing emails, but for me, for doing affiliate marketing and building my personal brand, that’s just not anything I’m looking for, because I want my emails to have a more personal feel.

And then the big issue here that I ran into with Mailchimp, is that they do not allow affiliate marketing, which is a huge part of my business. So, after I learn that, I had to mitigate over to AWeber, which they do allow affiliate marketing.

And the reason behind that, is because Mailchimp doesn’t really wanna be associated with affiliate marketing, and that’s unfortunate because, affiliate marketing in and of itself, is not a scam me business or a bad business.

But unfortunately there are people operating pretty shady or pretty scam me affiliate marketing businesses, and that is why Mailchimp essentially had to take out this hard stance against affiliate marketing.

So, if you have any plans to leverage affiliate marketing with your online business, I would recommend AWeber, which is exactly what I use, as they allow affiliate marketing. The other area that you might run into trouble with, which a friend of mine ran into, is if you are sending any emails related to making money.

So I didn’t personally run into this issue when I sent emails about the stock market and my investing course through Mailchimp, but a close friend of mine sent out a free guide on how to make money online, he was not doing affiliate marketing or anything, and he was banned from Mailchimp because it was make money online content, they don’t seem to like, make money online, anything related to, get rich.

They block all that out, because they see it as a high risk category that they just don’t wanna be associated with, because the potential for someone being a scam artist in that category is unfortunately significantly higher.

So, if you have a business, a cake decorating business, something like that, Mailchimp is perfect for you, and you have that free plan available. But if you’re doing personal brand building, if your doing affiliate marketing, anything related to making money, that is when I would recommend AWeber, and you don’t wanna have to start somewhere else, and then get banned or have to mitigate and switch over to a new email marketing service, it is a huge pain in the butt.

But overall, I will say this, Mailchimp has a very sleek design. And then another pro that I have here for Mailchimp, one of the reasons why I like them, is that they offer build-in landing pages that honestly look pretty good.

I’ll go ahead and show you one that I had created at one point when I was offering a Passive Income Masterclass event. This is right through Mailchimp, it’s not ClickFunnels, it’s not anything else, and it’s included with even the free plan, so you can have landing pages where you can collect emails.

Otherwise, if you use something like AWeber, you’re gonna have to go through a separate landing page provider like ClickFunnels, however, they have the best landing pages out there, so I would actually recommend that route if you’re serious about having high converting landing pages.

But if you’re just getting started, Mailchimp does offer basic landing pages that I have found to be pretty effective and it’s an added bonus that I really enjoy about Mailchimp. So, basically the two pros here for Mailchimp are that they offer, the free plan up to 2000 subscribers, and they offer built-in landing page, but the huge con is that they do not allow affiliate marketing, they have a hard stance against it, and they also don’t like people sending out emails related to making money, get rich, anything in that category.

So, if your business is related to that, I would stay away from Mailchimp and personally I would use AWeber. But anyways guys, that’s gonna wrap up this video. That is in my opinion the two best email marketing softwares out there right now.

Like I said, if you wanna go ahead and grab that free guide from AWeber, that also comes with the 45 plus email templates, and a free course, that’s the top link in the description below. And I also have an affiliate link if you decide that you do wanna sign up for AWeber.

I’m not affiliated with Mailchimp, I just think they are a great service that I used in the past, so I don’t have any links for them. But other than that, if you do decide to use AWeber, that’s an option if you guys decide that you wanna use my link.
