Today I’d like to share with you what I learned from the recorded Second Income Coach training call about list building using SOTAM (State of the Art Mailer) and ListJoe. Second Income Coach is a system that can be duplicated. For example, the ad copy that is available in my back office is the same as any other member gets. The recommended resources and affiliate programs that I see are also the same that anyone else sees.
Will you see results with this system? The answer is YES if you are consistent and persistent. The only way you can fail is if you quit, or you take no action (which is the same as quitting). If you are a gold member, you will earn 50% commission for each gold member that you sponsor. That means you only need two gold members to break even. On average, 1 out of 10 members upgrade to gold, so it would take approximately 20 members to get 2 gold upgrades. If you’re not seeing these numbers, then you need to take more action or possibly tweak what you’re doing.
ListJoe and SOTAM are two of the recommended credit-based lists in Second Income Coach. Both programs have free and paid memberships. If you get a free membership, you’ll need to rely on clicking on links in emails to get credits (this can be quite time-consuming). The credits you earn can then be used to email your ad to other members. To save time and get the ability to email more members, you’ll want to take the upgrade (if it’s in your budget).
In ListJoe, make sure to setup your backend ads – spotlight ads, top email ads, and a login ad. Remember that ad copy is available in your back office. Once your backend ads are setup, the next thing you’ll want to do is email ListJoe members. Go to the Send Mail link and copy and paste the ad copy into the form. Make sure to change the ad to display your name and your affiliate link. And add the member’s first name into the email using the code provided (this is not the same in all programs). For example, it might be {FIRSTNAME} or [fname] or something else. Preview the ad to make sure the links work and everything looks OK.
In SOTAM, one neat thing about it is that you can earn credits without even opening up your email. There’s a section in your members area where you can view the ads and click on the link to view the site and earn credits. Credits can be used to reach higher button levels. At a higher button level, you can mail more members.
With both list builders, you can mail every 3 days. You may want to mark down in your calendar when you can send out a mailing, or watch for the email reminder from ListJoe.
