THE Facebook Fan Page for the Solopreneur

Posted by: Janet | Comments (0)

Have you been to our Facebook Fan Page recently? I highly encourage you to go to http://www.facebook.com/solopreneurbiz right now and share your business insights with us. We have been getting a lot of interaction lately and it really makes for a lively yet meaningful discussion.

Recently we’ve talked about:

LinkedIn Gives You a Better Way to Brand Your Business
3rd Party Advertising on Facebook
The Definition of Success
and so much more

Go on over to our Facebook Fan Page and become a “fan” today! We would love to have your input in our discussions.

We all need a mentor of some kind. Sometimes the best way to learn a new style or a style different from your own is to follow the marketing pros. Today we’ll give a few examples of marketing pros that we like to follow.

Tip #5: Learn from the Pros

Subscribe to the list of some of your favorite marketing gurus. What makes you want more? What makes you click through? A few really great marketers with great headlines are Perry Marshall, Joel Comm, and Scott Stratten just to name a few.

Using subject lines effectively is a matter of compiling something attention grabbing and provoking. Don’t just throw a subject in the box and hope it works. Take the time to think it through, test it and make adjustments to future mailings. It might seem time consuming, but the payback will be more than worth your effort. Once you see the difference these small, but extremely important tweaks will make you’ll be glad you made the investment.

testHow do you know what is going to work for you? Simply put, you have to know your market. However, if you’re not sure or you want to try something new, today we show you how to test and tweak your subject lines.

Tip #4: Test & Tweak

If you want to make sure your subject lines are doing their job to the fullest, you’ll need to test and teak them a bit to get the results you’re after. Most list management systems, Aweber and 1ShoppingCart allow you to break up your list and send out one version of an email to one part of your list. The other half of the list will receive a second version. This is an excellent way to track which one actually gets open and has the greatest impact on your readers.

After completing a few tests, take the results and learn from them. Make the necessary changes to get the best response from your subscribers. Remember, this works for follow up and future broadcast messages also. Your open rates will increase dramatically once you determine what makes your readers tick.
