How I Turned $2.50 Into $313.65

March 19th, 2009 by Jon Waraas

The blog title is correct. I took a $2.50 rewrote newsletter and then turned it into $313.65. So how did I do it? Email marketing!

On all of my websites I collect the emails. There are lots of ways to collect emails such as having a basic newsletter form, or maybe collect them from orders, or maybe create a bad ass tool. But the important thing is that you collect email address for marketing later. Even if you don’t use them right away, you will later down the road.

After you collect all the email address then you must find a way to email them all. I personally use a email script that I made, but I would suggest using Aweber or something like that. Then hiring someone off sitepoint to do rewrites for you. You can generally find these people to do rewrites for about .02 per word, sometimes even less (like in my case).

So now you are collecting emails, using aweber to manage the emails, and you even found a good rewriter for $0.02 per word. Good job, now lets move on.

For the actual email you will want to write a mini-sales letter that grabs the attention of the reader. To give yourself some examples just look though your spam folder and see which ones you want to click on the most…

After you write the article send it to your rewriter to have it professionally done. Then find some way to track how much you made from the newsletter such as sending them to certain pages with tracking set up or even using a redirect link, it’s up to you.

Email marketing is a great way to make cash money on the interwebs, so start doing it!
