p.m. From: Jason Lexell, Founder of BusinessEmailLists.com Hi
Fellow Email Marketer, Have
you ever been faced with the task of having to write an email promotion to your
list, and then realized that you didn't know what to say or how to say it? Michael
Rasmussen's new video course "Email Promos Exposed" promises to solve
that problem for you by walking you through the actual process of creating killer
email promos step-by-step. ************************************************* If

decided to see if Michael's videos live up to their promise by trying them out
myself. Here's what I found: ************************************************* Overall
Quality ************************************************* The
first thing I noticed when I opened up the first video was the stunning production
quality. He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which is now the industry
standard for creating high-quality screen capture video products. The audio is
near studio quality, and the graphics are very professional. These videos were
made by someone who KNOWS what he's doing. Well done! I
also liked how Michael divided the videos up by section, and then again by sub-section.
For example, one video is all about the subject line, and then there are different
parts of that video that each cover a certain area of crafting a killer subject
line. Now
let's move onto... ************************************************* THE
ACTUAL VIDEOS ************************************************* Here's
a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single
thing here, but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well
it covered it. ************************************************* If

1 - INTRODUCTION This
video served as an introduction to the whole course. You get to see a picture
of Michael in his every day life, and he establishes his credibility right up
front by talking about some of his massive successes online.
He even provides proof of credibility by displaying two checks in the amount of
$50,000 and $25,000 which prove that, when it comes to the subject of making money
with email promos, he knows his stuff. This
is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever you're teaching people how to do
something, it's good to establish your credibility up front, so that there's no
doubt about whether or not you're qualified to talk about the subject. Most product
developers either skip or minimize this step. VIDEO
2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO This
video talks about some things that no other marketer has bothered to mention.
You'll learn things like: - The
mindset you need in order to write a killer promo
- The
different tools you need before you get started
- How
to keep your emails laser-focused
- How
to create an outline that practically writes the email for you.
This
was a fantastic video, and did a good job of kicking things off. VIDEO
3 - THE SUBJECT LINE I
liked this video, because it talked about one of my clients' biggest weaknesses
when it comes to writing email promos... the subject line. The subject line is
a confusing topic, because nobody's 100% sure what the best tactics are. Michael
breaks it down, and reveals: - The
biggest secret for writing a subject line that makes people insanely curious.
- Techniques
for personalizing the subject line.
-
Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.
Many
of my clients make these same subject line mistakes, even though I constantly
tell them the right way to do it. VIDEO
4 - THE OPENING This
is where a lot of people slack off when writing their emails. Michael talks about
how important it is to create an opening that is conversational, and then reveals
techniques and examples on how to do that. He
also reveals: - How
to get people to keep reading your email once they've opened it.
- How
to make your opening interesting.
- Mistakes
to avoid when creating your first few paragraphs.
VIDEO
5 - THE BODY COPY This
is one of the "meatiest" portions of the course, because it reveals
techniques that are not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in most eBooks. He
talks about the importance of keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and then
reveals how you can do that. You'll also learn: - How
to write powerful bullets that make people curious and want to find out more.
- Simple
formatting tricks for making your body copy easy to read.
- The
secret of "bucket brigade copy" and how to use it in your email promos
to force people to keep reading.
VIDEO
6 - THE CALL TO ACTION This
is where a lot of people wimp out in their email promos. They start out strong,
but when it comes time to ask the reader to click the link and take action, they
don't know what to say. Michael
talks about some of his favorite techniques for making that happen, and also reveals: - The
"magic question" to ask yourself that will make your close much more
powerful.
-
The secret of the "unanswered question" and why handling this is a surefire
way to get people to act right away.
-
The structure of a powerful close.
- Mistakes
people make when creating their close.
VIDEO
7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S. Some
people say that the PS is one of the most important parts of the email, because
it is often the one thing that gets people to click the link at the end. In this
video, Michael talks about: - Why
you should including a PS at the end of your email.
-
The 4 different kinds of P.S.'s you can use (this section was a real eye-opener
for me).
VIDEO
8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE I
loved this video, because it showed me some mistakes that I was making that I
wasn't even aware of. Unless you're a seasoned pro, you're probably guilty of
some of the things that Michael talks about in this video as well, and that's
why it's so valuable. I've
shaved years off my learning curve, because now I can avoid some of the costly
mistakes that I was bound to make in the learning process. VIDEO
9 - HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS This
video alone is going to make me a lot of money. Why? Because I used to only send
out one email promo for each affiliate promotion I was doing. Michael showed me
in this video how important it is to send a follow-up promotion, and he showed
me exactly how to do it. He covered things like: - The
psychology of follow-up email promo's.
- The
2 main types of follow-up promos that make the most money.
-
How to overcome readers' objections in your follow up emails.
- The
2 most common mistakes people make when writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.
VIDEO
10 - HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS Every
marketing guru out there says that the REAL money is on the back end. I'd have
to agree with them, but the problem is... most people have no idea how to set
up a back end system that makes money. This
video will teach you how to set up an automated back end that's loaded with killer
promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot. He
reveals things like: - The
big difference between regular and back end email promos.
- How
to prepare a back end promotion sequence.
- Common
mistakes people make when creating back end email promos.
VIDEO
11 - CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS This
could be the most important video of the entire package for a lot of people, because
most people email their list to promote other people's products as an affiliate.
Let's face it, if you only have 3 products, can you really afford to only email
your list 3 times a year? They'll
get bored hearing about the same old products over and over again. This video
sheds some light on how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael reveals things
like: - The
two main types of affiliate promos.
- What
makes affiliate promos different than regular promos (and why ignoring this huge
secret could cost you big money).
- Michael's
favorite tactics for creating affiliate promos that no one else is doing.
- 3
different ways to add scarcity to your affiliate promos (this is the most important
section of the video, so make sure you watch it over and over again).
************************************************* CONCLUSION ************************************************* As
you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs a lot of punch! Most of the courses
out there offer only watered down, weak content. Not this one! These videos are
going on my "A-list" for a long time. I've
already watched them twice, and plan on reviewing them every couple months to
make sure that I have the principals, techniques and tactics burned into my mind. If
email marketing is an important part of your business (and in my opinion, it's
the most important part of ANY online business), then you owe it to yourself to
check out Michael's exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed. Here's
