Email Marketing

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Ever wanted to make more money via your emails?

I think we all have!

Writing emails that sell is an art and takes the best of copywriting skills. This is why taking a copywriting course, be it at home or at University, is of the utmost importance.

If you cannot capture your reader in seconds you will never have any success. It starts with the Subject line which gets the reader to open the email. But that’s only the start of the job. You then have to get them to read and click on your link.

One person who was good at this was Corey Rudl. Although he probably got copywriters to write his emails once he was successful, in the early days he was a master of writing emails. He mastered copywriting skills and could always capture the reader’s attention through his email marketing.

It is simple to do if you know what you are doing. Subject lines that just make you open the emails. Emails that read as though your best friend is telling you what they did on the weekend with a link to pictures you just have to see.

How do you become good at writing emails? Practice, practice and more practice. Well of course you should get a good manual to help you on your way, give you direction and share what works and what doesn’t. But you will need to practice as most of this only comes from experience.

And the best thing with practice is that if you send your emails to your list you will also make some money along the way.

What Kind of Carbohydrates Are You Eating?

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

There is a big push out there for low carbohydrate diets.  The Atkins diet is probably the one that really started this fad and there are millions of individuals who have tried it at some point or another.  Some people have actually lost a considerable amount of weight by eating very low carbohydrates every day.  Just because they lose weight, however, does not mean that they are going to keep it off.  It also does not mean that it is healthy.  As a matter of fact, ketosis, which is the driving force behind Atkins is a very dangerous condition for your body to be in.  Diabetics would give anything to be out of ketosis permanently.

That doesn’t mean, however, that carbs should not be taken into consideration as far as our health and weight are concerned.  Quite the contrary, carbohydrates have a lot to do with these things.  The key to the whole matter is not to eat low carbohydrates during the day, it is to feed your body with slow carbohydrates.  If you successfully do this, not only will you be healthier but your body will seek out its natural, trim weight.

Slow carbohydrates are in abundance as long as we take advantage of them.  The best way to find out which ones we should use is by looking at the glycemic index.  All this is, is an indicator of exactly how quickly the sugars are released from the carbs into our system.  The higher on the scale, the faster the carbohydrates enter our bloodstream.

Eating too high on the glycemic index all of the time can have a devastating effect on our body.  What happens is that the pancreas will release insulin into our blood in order to compensate for all of the extra sugar.  This is not healthy for us and leaves us feeling sluggish and foggy headed.  It also adds fat cells to our body which is something that none of us want to have happen.

You can counter these unhealthy effects by eating foods that are low on the glycemic index.  If you make wise carbohydrate choices like this, you can throw the Atkins book away and all of the unhealthy effects that go along with it.  In fact, you would be surprised at how easy it is to incorporate this healthy way of eating into your lifestyle.
