Before I share with you the strategy, I need to make two things very clear:
1. This is going to be sort of a long email.
It’s got lots of good stuff in it.
It will also make you a lot of money.
2. If you aren’t using email to sell, then drop everything you’re doing this week and start setting up a way to collect email addresses.
I don’t care if you’re flipping leads, selling books on Kindle, selling B2B services, or making your living with information products.
You NEED to be selling with email.
Okay, official business over.
Here’s how to double your email revenue in the next 3.285 weeks in 5 easy steps:
1. Daily Pitch Emails
Send an email every day. Monday through Friday.
Pitch SOMETHING in every single email.
Here’s the key to making this work without your email list hating you though:
PITCH YOUR STUFF!
Pitch your products, pitch services, pitch your next blog posts, pitch your ideas, pitch lifestyle etc.
The best thing that I have ever done for my business is to STOP pitching other people’s stuff.
Is affiliate marketing an easy way to make a quick buck?
Yes.
But it also makes you look like a desperate used-car salesman hocking “lemons” on unsuspecting housewives.
Pitch other people’s stuff to your list every day and everyone will hate you.
Pitch your own stuff to people every day and people will call you “one of the smartest marketers I know” (that’s a true life quote from an email this past week I got).
2. Track EVERYTHING
I don’t care how you do it.
Just do it.
A/B testing needs to become your best friend.
You need to completely remove the guesswork from your business.
If you invested two hours every week for the next six months to learn, practice, and implement tracking and testing into your business I GUARANTEE you will see a disturbingly positive increase in profits.
Track. It.
Find out what works based on empirical data.
3. Table Your Best Performing Emails
Here’s the real reason why you should pitch every day to your email list:
Because your email list will tell you which email sells the most.
Once you have this data (read: the email that converts the best) save it.
Keep a file on your desktop titled “emails that sell”.
Then move on to the next step.
4. Create An Autoresponder Series From Your Best Emails
If you’ve been doing the process up to this point here’s what will have happened:
A. You will have pitched something every day which means that you will have perfected the art of the pitch. Your emails will have gotten stronger.
B. You will know PRECISELY which emails get you better results. No guesswork, no estimation, no crossing your fingers and hoping it works. You’ll have hard data because you tracked which emails performed.
C. You will have an entire file folder full of your best emails. The bestsellers. The A-Team.
Now, all you have to do is arrange those best-selling emails into an autoresponder sequence, start running fresh leads through the sequence and you now have a long-term cash generating income stream that you KNOW will convert.
As a matter of fact, if you TRULY tracked everything you did you should be able to predict with some degree of accuracy HOW MUCH you will make when you start running leads through your autoresponder funnel.
5. Rinse And Repeat With Other Offers
Now your challenge simply becomes coming up with “lead bait” ideas for building your email list.
Not a bad way to make a living right?
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T WANT TO PUT IN THAT MUCH WORK?
I’m not going to lie, while it will probably only take you about an hour per day to make this system work, it sort of requires consistency. Meaning, you need to show up every single day and write the pitch emails to then harvest for your autoresponder sequence.
That can be hard.
I know how hard it can be because I do this every day for multiple businesses of my own.
So what’s the workaround?
Hire me to write the emails for you.
When you hire me to write the emails for this particular system is what you get:
1. First off, my emails are pretty darn good. When I send out an email like this, I can expect anywhere from $500-$750 in new revenue for the day for my copywriting business. And that’s just the front end sales on the new email. Not bad right?
2. Not only do you get the completed emails delivered to your inbox, emails that are proven to convert, but you get emails that were written based off of what I know works for this very system.
In other words, you get emails that are already onto step 3 of this technique delivered to you at YOUR step 1.
Not bad for just $35.
So, if this system makes sense to you, if you’re thinking “yeah, this seems like a low risk way to create an autoresponder sequence that consistently converts at the highest level” but you don’t want to write the 20+ emails it will require before you get 4 or 5 “best selling emails” for you autoresponder sequence, then go here:

Send me an email, or contact me via Skype and let me write those emails for you.
This is a low-cost, proven way to create that “automated income” that the Internet promises.
Whether you hire me or not, this stuff works.
Put it into action.
Reap the rewards.
To your success,
Mike
PS I’m really excited for this week because I will be starting a new series I call “Trash That Ad” where I break down current controls, funny ads, crappy ads, whatever ad I feel like each and every week to teach YOU how to become better direct marketers and how to write better ads.
I’m shooting for the first “episode” either this Thursday or Friday. Stay tuned because I’ve got a doozy of an ad that borders on the gray area of “is this really ethical?” And was featured in a nationally syndicated publication.
It’s going to be good.
