Listen up…
If you’d like to make your list more responsive to your offers here’s what I want you to do…
Step 1: Make sure you’re using a professional autoresponder like this one here:
http://ListHero.com/autoresponder
Step 2: Write at least 3 messages to add to your autoresponder. The first message should ask the question….
“What’s your single biggest question about ____ that would help you ____ more effectively”
You’ll need to change the blanks to suite your list and target audience
You can use a service like Survey Monkey (that’s who we use and they’re great!)
Step 3: Login to your ListHero account and write the best ad ever for your newsletter or list (this gets your more subscribers).
Step 4: Make sure you enter your autoresponder email address into your ListHero account so we can send your new subscribers there.
Step 5: Answer the questions people give you in your survey both individually (one-to-one) and load as extra content for your autoresponder
If you do these things exactly as I say, I promise you your list will become highly responsive in a very short period of time!
Nice unique look, reminds me of your diagram in the videos which have frustrated my attempts to watch them without pauses. As an ex commercial artist/designer and illustrator (look in Random House encyclopedia art credits), now architect I know of what I speak. From the GD point of view of view some of the boxes don’t line up and it does not flow. Ie: compartment, compartment. Ideally subject to subject in a logical link as you are actaully trying to construct a diagram (tell a story) and sell. I like it, it’s a refreshing change from the impersonal red banner crap. Try and think of a way of directing the eye to the next compartment in the best order, perhaps an arrow or other motif that makes it more homogenous. Another way might be a central product shot as the box corners would lead the eye into and around. Have a look how Peter Kindersley and I used to do our spread themes in Mitchell beazley coffee table books of the 70s.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Shawn for the free instruction you both have given me during the last month as I’ve investigated the ebus world. Perhaps we may consider a JV or affiliate scheme in the future. I made my millions in property but it’s hard to spend when it’s on paper, hence I need another income avenue at 60. Best wishes. PS: Ira is the wife.
Hello Colin,
(This is Brian Terry, Co-founder of ListHero)
Thanks for your message. I’m a Graphic Designer too having spent the past 15 years designing graphics and marketing communication pieces for people like Microsoft and British Airways. I appreciate your feedback on the design.
This new blog design is a work in progress so expect to see things evolve over time. The main thing for us was to get the new design up and running, even if it wasn’t perfect. Perfection and improvement always comes later. All the best!
Totally agree. I send out a survey in the beginning, middle and end of of my free 30 day online coaching course. Usually 6% will answer but I notice that since I’ve started to implement the survey, I have a very low rate of unsubscribers.
Thanks again.
Dennis
