I bet you'll be shocked to find out there are 5 key steps to success in email marketing? Have you been desperately searching for your way in to email marketing? Are you tired of hearing all these success stories? Well that was the way it was for me before I really got going and making money at email marketing. Let's face it, when you start out at anything new and you're not sure if you have the right solution or if you're being scammed or if you're not sure you have what it takes, its really hard to make any progress at all. This is an all or nothing game - you get zero back for being say 95% through the process. Its only when you are 100% through that you can collect.

If you're already feeling frustrated - the bad news is.... that will continue unless you follow these 5 steps to success!



Step 1: Finish 1 cycle of the process without changing direction

What do I mean by that? Well I can recall so many times where I would start down a particular road and would hit the "hyper space" button - I would lose faith in what I was doing or would get stuck and would (unknowingly) jump on to something else. That meant that I was starting projects but was not seeing any through and in this game of email marketing, you don't collect the $$$ for anything less than 100% completion. When you complete a whole cycle of the process you can learn loads - if you stop short what do you learn? That's right, you learn to quit.



Step 2: Produce a road Map for your self

When you complete a whole cycle, you can then write out the sequence or map you plan to take for the next project (journey). Now you have a reference map (or plan or schedule - what ever you want to call it) and one that means that at any point in time you can zoom out and see where you are at. First time through the process is scary because you don't really have a road map - at least not one you are familiar enough with.



Step 3: Get familiar with the key tools

Any email marketing project will involve some basic knowledge of software/concepts/ tools such as autoresponders, squeeze pages, landing pages, blogs etc. It is great if you can have the patience to take these 1 at a time and spend a few hours really getting to understand what they are about. When you are simply following explicit instructions line by line, you can be very uneasy when you don't really understand why you are doing it. You probably also have an uneasiness there too because deep down you know that it will be hard to replicate the process. When you are going through the gears you will greatly appreciate the relief you'll feel if you have a reasonable knowledge.



Step 4: Set tasks and times

Once you have a road map (which will change) its great to spend some time to break down the whole process into stages, tasks and times (task duration). You should keep it very simple and easy to use - you could just write a list of tasks in 1 column, add the target times in the 2nd column and have a 3rd column for recording actual times for each task. The feeling of control you will have will be enormous and you will become really focused in the process. Try to set yourself up for success by allowing fair to generous times for the first few cycles and you can always push the pace once you are making progress and feeling good about your self.



Step 5: Stick with the road ahead In a word this is about persistence.

Sometimes to others it may appear that you are going backwards but if you are "facing north" at all times you will feel confident and will not be deterred from your goal. This is where the road map will keep you going - you will only have to figure your way back to the known road to get going again. Otherwise you're just pulling over to the side of the road and giving up. If you follow these steps you are on the surest road to making money from email marketing. If you follow these steps you will have success and you feel enormous satisfaction. When you follow these steps you will have your success, you will feel enormous satisfaction and you will be even more energized for more success - and success breeds success! These steps will guide you and will make sure you succeed in making money from email marketing. Although the experience is never quite the same for any 2 people along the same path, If you resolve to sticking with these steps you will get to your destination.



You can do it - is there anything here that you cannot handle? If there is, focus on that and be clear about it before even starting the journey. If you can handle these steps can you see a successful outcome for yourself?
