In the previous sections of the Email marketing complete guide, We talked about email marketing definition and steps in the first section, and after that, in the second section, I showed some ways to build an email list for free. And in section three, I shared my experience about how to validate an email list for free. And in the fourth section, I shared a complete guide on how to write marketing emails. Finally, the 5th section was about the top email marketing platforms and the methods for sending emails. So, we learned email marketing. And now the question is can you make money with email marketing? And if the answer is yes, then how? So, in this section, I’m going to answer this question. How to make money with email marketing?
OK. Let’s make it simple. The critical question: Can you make money with email marketing? The short answer is yes. But it’s not as easy as they say. The summary is we can send some emails to a bunch of people. I’m not talking about spamming here. Those people are your validated email list or your subscribers. But how to make money using email marketing? Here are some simple ways that you can make money by email marketing.
Four ways to make money with email marketing
1. promoting affiliate products with emails
Again, I am not talking here about spamming. I am talking about sending a bunch of cold emails to turn a prospect into a customer. But this time, the customer will be for a specific affiliate service. Like if you want to promote an SEO service like SEMrush or Clickfunnels or any affiliate product like GetResponse or whatever to get clients for these companies. So you will send like 100-200 or 500 emails per day And not mention the links directly. It will be spamming. You will open a connection with some people To convince them and tell them to use a particular product with your affiliate link. You can find a full article with many examples about cold email marketing here.
2. Promoting your products, your services, or your Fiverr gigs
Another way to make money from email marketing is to promote your services and your gigs. I will publish an entire series about promoting your gigs on Fiverr as a freelance writer, but you learned how to build an email list and write emails and send them to the list. You can find the target customers and send them emails to promote your services and gigs. I repeat it, don’t be a spammer. It’s not about the number of emails. Start with cold email marketing.
3. Selling your Email list
The third way to make money through email marketing is to sell your email list. I don’t mean to sell data; no. I mean to sell your newsletter. How? If you go to a website called Udimi, it’s a website for solo ads. What are solo ads? Contact anyone on Udimi and give them a link, and they will promote the link for you. So you can be instead of those people and promote a link for someone else using solo ads, using your email list.
So you can subscribe to the Udimi website as a solo ad marketer, and then people will contact you and ask to get traffic to their links. And you can get paid a good amount of money for a low number of visitors. So if you have maybe 10,000 emails in your email list, you can get traffic to those people. And you can subscribe and sell your solo ad. It’s like selling a service or a gig, but here we are selling only solo ads.
4. make money with email marketing by Running Ads inside your newsletter
On top of any email, You can promote other content or services. Like you can promote someone else’s post for a fixed payment. It’s not like solo ads you are getting paid just for sending this email. You are not responsible for clicks or conversions or whatever. You are just accountable for sending this email to your subscribers. It is your newsletter, but you can promote someone else’s posts inside your newsletter. It’s like adding an advertisement. Maybe you are asking is this spamming or illegal? Not! It’s legal, and anyone can do this legally. If you go as an example to Quora, one of the big Q&A websites on this planet, you see they implement this strategy and promote your ads in their emails.
Those were the four primary ways to make money with email marketing. However, if you still don’t have a website or a blog, I recommend you start your blog and start collecting emails from your blog. Without having a website earning money from the internet would not be easy. In the following articles, I will also share my experiences on starting your blog and how to get traffic on your website.
