The Magic of the Autoresponder and the Long Tail (Part II)
In my post, The Magic of the Autoresponder and the Long Tail (Part I), I described how I had spent enormous amounts of money, and failed miserably. I also mentioned how I had a bit of a wake up call, and turned things around.
The results of my new way of doing business on the Internet were nothing short of amazing. The largest downline in any online MLM I had built up to that point was about 10 people or so. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was totally insignificant... and frustrating!
With my new system in place, using my own autoresponder series, a number of free services, and free viral advertising, I was able to recruit 17 paying members into an online MLM in about 3 weeks! That was great! I mean, I was jumping up and down over it!
Mind you, these people were paying at least US$60 per month for product. In the past, getting someone to fork over $5 was next to impossible. Well, get this... over the next few months, those 17 people turned into a paying downline of over 3,000!
Now hear this... all of that happened without my actually talking to anyone directly. When I say that, I mean no phone calls, no direct emails, no chat sessions, no training sessions, nothing! It was all on autopilot. I was amazed.
At the same time, I was able to build secondary downlines in viral ad programs and other MLM feeder programs, some with over 250 people in them. This was all using the same autoresponder series that I had written myself. Again, I was amazed.
Had the main MLM I had chosen had worldwide operation (online marketing mistake number 2,342), it would have been even better. I had people in other countries writing to me asking if I had any alternative programs that they could join... alas, I never planned for that!
I made several other online marketing mistakes during this time, which ultimately led to the demise of my downline, and I quit the MLM. More accurately, I bailed out, and let my downline roll up. Why? Well, for one, I chose the wrong MLM. For another, I realized, long before I had even heard of the "long tail of marketing" that I needed a long tail approach.
In The Magic of the Autoresponder and the Long Tail (Part III) and beyond, I'll get into exactly why the MLM I chose was wrong, why I quit, and what the long tail is. I'll also get into how to use an autoresponder series like I did, and what elements you need for it to be successful.
