Happy Friday!
It’s 6 a.m. and still as dark as midnight here in Central Ontario this morning. I have to admit, I’m not much of one for getting up and starting my day in the dark. I’d much rather be woken up by the sun streaming in a window than by an alarm clock.
There’s a lot going on here and my to-do list is a mile long again so I’m going to use this early morning quiet time to get some stuff done.
But first, I wanted to address something that’s been on my mind since someone asked me how I decide what goes into the newsletter and what doesn’t.
I’ll be the first to admit, the low content space is getting pretty crowded. When I first started there were maybe a dozen of us, and when I did my first bundle sale I had 25 contributors and that was pretty much everyone in the space at the time. Bundles were few and far between, and it was really easy then to do a newsletter and include every new release every day because there weren’t that many.
Fast forward to today and there is no possible way to include everything from everyone every day. You would be completely overwhelmed reading it. I would be – and have been on occasion – totally overwhelmed in writing it.
And so, you have to be strategic in who and what you promote. I keep a list of affiliate programs that I promote and that gets updated every Monday morning. In January my list had 70 people I promoted at least once that month. November’s list has 93. Could you imagine if I tried to include something from 93 people every day? You’d all run screaming for the hills, and I wouldn’t have anyone to write to anymore!
I think you probably get the point without me hitting you over the head with it anymore… There are a lot of low content and PLR sellers out there, and you have to be strategic in who and what you promote.
So here are a couple of tips on how I decide what to promote on any given day.
First, I check my list of offers to see what’s ending that day. I check to see if I’ve promoted it, and if it has made sales for me. If it has, and I’m still feeling good about it, it goes into the Deals Ending section. If it hasn’t made any sales, I need to decide whether or not it’s worth taking up space in my newsletter for.
Second, I check my email for any new offers. I tag these when they come in so that they’re all in a separate folder and when I’m really organized I also tag them by start date. This is where the strategic part comes in, and I have a whole series of questions I run through. I’m not going to go through the whole process here because it would take too long but the basics are:
- Do I like the product?
- Do I know, like, and trust the person offering it?
- Is it something I think my customers would buy?
- Do I think they would buy it from me?
If I can answer yes to all of those questions, then the offer gets space in my newsletter.
My goal is to give my customers what they want – to the best of my knowledge and ability.
If it doesn’t make it, it’s not personal. It’s a strategic choice for me and my business to give my customers what they want, based on the knowledge I’ve collected about what they want from me.
Let me repeat… it’s not personal. I don’t play at popularity contests, so if I don’t promote someone or a particular product, it means I don’t think it is a good fit for my list right now. You could be my best friend in the world, and if I don’t think my customers are going to like your product, it’s not going to get space in my newsletter. It’s a strategic choice. (In the interests of transparency there are a handful of people on my blacklist that I just will not ever promote. And don’t ask who because I won’t tell.)
Our newsletter space is the most valuable real estate we have online. It’s the one thing where we get to control the content and we have a direct line to our customers. Use it wisely.
I think I’ll stop there because I could write for days on this topic, but there are deals to share this morning including Jenn’s new bundle.
Here’s what I have for you this afternoon…
