The New Facebook Send Button (Increase Traffic + Free WordPress Plugin)

Mark Flavin — Wed, 04 May 2011 10:22:59 +0000

So the world of email marketing is changing again! With the release of the Facebook Send Button it is now very easy for people to share content via Facebook Messages.

Unlike the Facebook Like Button where you share the content on your wall & with your entire friends list the Facebook Send Button allows you to just send the content to specific people or groups through email/messages.

So for example if you are friends on Facebook with both work colleges & friends. And come across some content you would like your friends to see but not your work mates you can use the Facebook Send Button to send that content to your friends but not your workmates.

This will be a great way to increase targeted traffic as people will send content to specific groups which your content may be more targeted to & the send button will increase their chances of seeing the content as with a wall post (like) they may not even see the post however when it’s in their Facebook message box you are almost guaranteed it will get their attention.

You can download a free wordpress plugin to add the like & send buttons to your own wordpress blog. You can see the plugin in action at the top & bottom of this post, click it & give it a try.

How To Add Opt In Forms To Your Blog Without Knowing HTML or Editing Your Theme.

Mark Flavin — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 11:33:56 +0000

Building a subscriber list is by far the single most important thing you can do for your business. But adding your opt-in code to your blog can be tough if you don’t know your way around your theme’s HTML & PHP! And most autoresponder providers don’t provide much in the way of styling options for your form so you can match it to the theme and style of your blog.

So here’s a free wordpress plugin that can do all that for you, it’s called opt-in form adder.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1. Click on Run Quick Setup Wizard.

Step 2: Copy and paste your optin form code, which you get from your autoresponder/mailing list provider.

Step 3: Customize the look of your optin form.

Step 4: Select where you want to put your optin form.

Click here to download Opt-In Adder for free & add beautifully designed opt-in forms to your blog without editing any code & start building your subscriber base today.

**BONUS** A few months back I launched How To Blog which is a series of training videos showing you how to set up a profitable blog from scratch. I charged $17.00 for it but for a limited I’m going to give it away for FREE. I don’t think I’ll do this for long so if you want to get access to How To Blog for FREE click here now.

How To Get Your New Subscribers To Whitelist Your Email Address

Mark Flavin — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 00:07:32 +0000

So you’ve done the hard work & you’re now getting traffic to your squeeze page & getting new leads but are your subscribers getting your messages?

To make sure they do, it’s always good to ask them to whitelist your email address after they’ve signed up on your squeeze page.

This means telling them to add your email address to their contacts. Of course every mail client is different & therefore the process to whitelist your email address is different & not everyone knows how to do this, so just telling your new subscriber to whitelist your email address is not enough as they may not know the process involved in doing so.

But instead of going through the process of writing out the step by step instructions of whitelisting your email address for every email client that’s out there, there’s a really cool tool over at email delivery jedi where you just enter your email details, click the generate instructions button and hey presto they generate a page for you with all the details on how to whitelist your email address for all the major (and some minor!) email & webmail clients.

Try it for yourself, it could be the difference between subscribers getting your emails or not even seeing them.

Be Relevant…..

Mark Flavin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:54:07 +0000

There are a few things I live by when it comes to online marketing. One is the A.B.B system & the other is being relevant.

Whether you’re talking to your twitter followers, your facebook fans, your blog subscribers or your email subscribers there is one think you have to be or they will STOP listening to you, and that one thing you must be is RELEVANT.

Put yourself in your subscribers shoes & ask if the messages you are sending them are relevant. The more relevant you are the more your subscribers will interact & take action & subsequently the more you will profit.

So the next time you send a tweet or facebook update, write a blog post or email message to your subscribers ask yourself are you being relevant because there is no greater insult then being irrelevant & no easier way to have fans & subscribers stop listening to you then sending them information & content they don’t want.

5 Steps You Can Start Implementing Right Now To Explode Your Subscribers Base

Mark Flavin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:36:52 +0000

No matter what you do online for your business you should always be focused on what I call A.B.B (Always Be Building).

This means that whenever you do something for your online business whether it be link building, acquiring joint venture partners, pay per click and so on you should always be focused on building your list of subscribers, because these are people you can keep in contact with, create long lasting relationships & can be customers for life.

So with that said here are 5 tips you can start implementing today to grow your list of subscribers.

1. Use squeeze pages
If you’re not using squeeze pages to build your list then you’re missing on on lots of subscribers. You should even consider using a squeeze page as the primary page for you site like I have with Recession Traffic

This means that ever before your visitors are directed to a sales letter or sales video they are in your auto responder so you can provide them with free quality content that will increase their trust in you & eventually lead to higher conversion rates & more sales.

The bottom line is using squeeze pages as your primary page can explode your list size. Imagine every joint venture & every promotion that sends you traffic is going to your squeeze page! Your list size will sky rocket. Of course make sure to TEST TEST TEST your squeeze pages. You want to make sure it converts like crazy so the maximum about of people join your list & see your offer.

(Side Note: Marc Milburn a MarkFlavinBlog.com reader has put together a video showing you how he gets a 70% conversion rate on his squeeze pages. You should check it out.)

2. Use your blog
If you’ve already got a blog that gets traffic then why not give away a free report on your blog in exchange for your visitors email address. You can add a subscription box to your sidebar or even use a lightbox to grab peoples attention straight away once they go to your blog.

3. Create a viral report
Create a viral report on your niche which gives away some really valuable information that people would want to pass on to others. Of course include links to your squeeze page throughout the report but DO NOT sell in the report otherwise it’s unlikely it will go viral. You want this report to provide excellent content so that it goes viral & those who read it are so impressed with the content that they sign up at your squeeze page. Your can use places like scribed & DocStoc to drive some traffic & get some exposure for your report.

4. Use exit pop-ups
Now most people hate exit pop ups & people have actually given out to me before for recommending that you use them but the bottom line is they work! If you have a sales letter & someone is exiting the site that means you’ve lost that person forever. They’re not a customer & they’re not a subscriber. So in my opinion using an exit pop up on a sales letter is a great idea. You can use it to offer the person a free report or use it to offer them a special offer. It’s like getting a second chance at the sale! I use Virtual Smart Agent to do this on my sales pages.

5. Do newsletter swaps

Find people in your niche with newsletters similar to yours. Offer to put a link to their newsletter at the end of your newsletter for a set amount of time if they do the same. Of course make sure that there newsletter provides great quality information because if you recommend crap to people they will just unsubscribe from your list.

This is a win win situation as both of you will get free advertising on the others newsletter. The key here is to write an extremely compelling ad to make people click over from the newsletter to your squeeze page.

So there you have 5 tips you can start using right now to either start building your list or start growing your current subscriber base much much faster.
