in this affiliate marketing tutorial for beginners i’m going to show you how to set up a basic email automation now in my last video my last tutorial video i showed you how to set up a bridge page so this was a sample bridge page that i created here is the video how to create a bridge page now if you have not watched this video stop this video go back and watch it otherwise i’ve left a card above and a link down below so that you can watch it now the reason why i want you to watch it is because this is part of a basic funnel so once you build the bridge page which we did in the last video we connected it to our autoresponder and that bridge page once somebody enters in their email address they get sent over directly to our sales page so you’re probably wondering ken why do we need to set up an automation of basic email automation the purpose of this automation is to build up further trust to nurture that relationship with the prospect who just opted into your list so it’s it’s vitally important that you set up something it doesn’t matter how many emails there are in there you just want to set something up because you want to start that relationship as soon as they opt in it’s very important that you stay in front of your prospect that you start showing them additional value and start building up that trust over a period of time because once somebody opts in and heads to the sales page it doesn’t guarantee that they’re gonna purchase the chances are good that they will however you wanna you want to make sure absolutely sure that you follow up with them and by building up a relationship with the prospect as soon as they opt in now you can think long term now you can see that hey this person opted into this product they like it they are part of my audience i need to nurture that relationship so that if there are other affiliate products in the future that i want to promote that i have an audience to promote them through uh to through email marketing and that’s the reason why you want to do that so in the last video i created this sample bridge page and i connected it to my autoresponder at the time i did that it was connected to activecampaign that was my autoresponder at the time i’ve since then switched over to get response so i’m going to be utilizing get response to show you how to set up this basic email automation so we’re inside my get response account and we’re going to head over to menu and we’re going to select autoresponders because we’re going to set up a basic email automation now i’m not going to go into more complex automations i want to do that a little bit later on in another video but since this is a tutorial for beginners we’re going to stick with the basics and an email autoresponder or a basic automation is what you need to set up so if you looked if you remember what we want is just simple and basic and the reason why i want to do that is because as a beginner it’s so important for you to continuously move forward and you’re going to learn as you go through this process and as you gain experience that’s when you’ll be able to do more complex automation so in the meantime let’s set up something simple let’s get that relationship built up let’s start nurturing that relationship with the prospect and this is the best way to do it the easiest way to do it alright so the first thing to do is you want to make sure you select the proper email list so in this case i created a list called ken’s demo list and now that we have this list right here you notice that there are no autoresponders or no messages set up right now so we’re going to create a new one so you either can click on this plus sign or you can click on create autoresponder now once you’re in here you give your autoresponder a name so this name right here is not going to be seen by anybody it can be anything that you want to be so i’m just going to call it email one always called nurture email one and then we’re gonna link this to the proper list so let’s make sure we select ken’s demo list so we have the proper list to attribute nurture email one two then when we see autoresponder settings day zero is the day that the person signs up so when they sign up they will immediately get an email and that to me is is a great way to start that relationship off of course if you want to change the the time you can add a delay or you can choose a specific time it’s totally up to you i choose to just send it out right away because if i’m giving out a bonus or if i’m giving out a some kind of lead magnet i want them to get it right away i don’t want them to really wait so i’m going to stick with on day 0 same time as sign up and then from there i want to just make sure we use the proper email address the proper reply to address and then your subject line and then we’re going to head into designing the message now i’m not going to go into creating the message primarily because everybody has a different niche some may have different ones than others and depending on whether you’re watching this video and you have you’re in a weight loss niche or in a different niche the the text is going to be different the content is going to be different i just want to show you how to set up the basic automation so we’re just going to go ahead and we’re going to choose a blank template i’m just going to choose this i’m just going to end it enter in some random text so i’m going to add in a text box here because this is where i want to add in my text i’m just going to type in some random text here and then we’re going to click next and we’re going to double check that everything is set up so day zero make sure you always check your linked list you wanna make sure you have the correct list attributed to your autoresponder and everything looks good and then from there what we’re going to do is we’re going to save and publish and what you’re going to see now is that you have your your first email here which is our nurture email number one we can also view it this way too so you can see a visual representation which i happen to like better this is the the view that i really like because it just gives me a nice map of what’s happening and when so now comes a part where you can add as many messages as you want and really in this sense you can do one day after another it’s totally up to you you can add a break in between if you want to for me i choose to just email them every day and i’m gonna do it for a very short period of time let’s say three days so they’ve opted in the first email that you want to have is going to be value based no selling the email this first email that they get as soon as they opt in will be all about them about them making the right decision to check out the product about them making the right decision to join your list and you’re going to start your relationship off that way you’re not going to sell them anything and we’re going to do that a little bit later because if you constantly sell you constantly are selling selling selling and you provide them with absolutely no value guess what they’re going to unsubscribe from your list so you need to provide them with some value so that they can learn something and you can establish your authority as a marketer so i’m going to go and add in another email and so this one we’re going to call this nurture 2 and again we want to make sure we choose the correct list so critical and then this says on day one which is what we had selected i’m gonna just stick with the same time as a sign up time because if they signed up at that time then chances are that they were they were eager to get there they had the free time so i want to make sure that that email lands there at the same time as well and then we’re going to double check our email addresses and the subject line we’re just going to put in a random one here and then we’re going to design our message i’m going to choose a blank template again and we’re going to add in our text and i’m going to add in some random text so this would be where you enter in your email i’m going to click next i’m going to double check we have the correct list this is the correct email it’s going to be sent on day one so this is our second email day zero was our first email and it’s going to be sent at the same time as when they signed up the previous day everything looks good and then i’m going to save and publish so now you can see i have nurture email one i have nurture two and this is when you have to make that decision do you wanna continue nurturing them or do you want to provide some kind of call to action to get them back to that sales page so in this example right here i’ve got three emails so the first email i want to nurture i want to congratulate them for making that decision to check out the product i’m going to build up that relationship and the second email here is going to be all again about value about providing value and trying to further connect with that prospect the third email here is where you can now redirect them back to the sales page because now you’ve provided some value to them you weren’t all about selling but the third email will give you that opportunity to say hey this product will help you to achieve x y and z go ahead and check it out so we’re going to go ahead and this third email here on the second day we are going to go ahead and we’re going to create our sales email so the first two were nurture emails this one will be our sales email and again make sure you are connected to the correct list and then again day number two same time as sign up time and then now you add in your subject and you’re going to design your message so we’ll go back into the blank templates and we’re just drop a text block in here and we’re just going to type in some random text and then go ahead and click on next and so this is where we double check again again this says ken’s demo list is the correct list everything looks good and then we’re now going to go ahead and save and publish so now what you what you’ve just created is a basic email automation so when somebody opts into your list right here when they as soon as they opt in to your bridge page and they opt into your list here are the three emails that we just created in get response so day zero is as soon as they opt in to your list and to see the product this is what this is the first email right here this email is happens on day number one and this is the email following the day after they have registered and that’s a nurture email and on day number two this is when it’s okay to have a sales email because what we want to do again is we want to provide as much value as we can but we still want to be able to redirect them back to the product that they originally signed up for on your they sign up to your list for so they signed up here they came here they signed up and they went to the sales page and then that sent into motion these emails right here and the final email is directing them back to the sales page so that is what we just created right here so that is how you create a basic email automation i hope you found this
