In this post I am going to give you a few tips on using Directmatches Group Contact eMail feature. This can be a great way to promote your primary business or any affiliate products that you know people in the community would find useful and purchase.
I’ve made a few dollars with a few mlm affiliate products using this method.
If you want to try this out, it is simple to do. Here’s a short checklist of things you need to do;
1) Get contacts. Before your can do anything you need to have contacts. To do that you should be either reaching out to people on your own or approving every single person that asks to be a contact.
2) Build your group contact list.. To do this just go to the front page of your profile. Once there go to the box containing all of your contacts and click on “manage” in the upper right of the box (opposite side of title). You will now see a different window. Your contacts will be shown, one on top of the other, with more information showing on the right.
Once here, select the members you want to send a message to by clicking in the check boxes next to the contacts picture. Once the desired box is checked, click on the button titled “Add To Group Mail” (at the bottom right). Now go up to the top of the page and click “Show My Contact List.” you should see all of the members you just selected.
3) Write a killer email and send it.. You have the contacts and you have your list made, now you just need to write an awesome email and send it off. Starting from page of your profile, click on “Inbox” in your “My Mail” box. In your email menu you will see a link entitled “Group Contact List”…click it.
Now it is time to do the most important of all the tasks; compose an email that will convert readers into sales and/or leads. If you aren’t familiar with how to write good sales copy, a good place to start is copyblogger.com. I’ve been reading this blog for a few months now, its a great learning and reference tool. For those of you who like books or would like to use good copy but save time by using templates, I have a few products available on my MLMHelpingHand site that are extremely helpful.
Once the letter is composed to your satisfaction, just send it off. Now just wait for the questions and the sales.
For those of you with a ton of contacts, keep in mind that Directmatches only allows you to have 60 contacts on the “Contact List.” Also, you cannot send more than one group contact email a day. If you would like to contact more than 60 you will need to wait 24 hours before sending the email. The contacts are all alphabetized so what I do is just keep track of where I left off the day before and start there the next day. You can send out an email everyday until you have contacted everyone on the list. If you have a big list it might take a couple days to get through all of the contacts but it only takes a few minutes each day once you get the system down.
There you have it. Another way to use Directmatches to promote you, your business and/or affiliate products. Try it out.
