Your e mail Signature is your Fortune | How to Use Your Signature to Promote Your Business

E mail signatures (those few lines under your e mail or posting describing you and your business)  are said to be the most effective way of promoting your goods and services when used with your e mail provider on social marketing sites and within an autoresponder.  But how is that done?

Internet Marketing Virgin is test driving Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring products which are designed to find distributors for MLM companies using low cost Internet marketing methods.

 In the of Magnetic Sponsoring getting started section Mike offers advice about content and we recently published a blog on that subject see “How to use your e mail signature to promote Magnetic Sponsoring” below, but newbies might find setting up a signature series a bit of a challenge.

 Is it Better to receive and send your mail in Outlook or Gmail?

 I only used Outlook until last year but then I discovered Google Mail and now I find I use g mail all the time. I like it.

G Mail is easier to use on the move, has a faster and more accurate search facility, a labels system which is far easier that the outlook folder system, a simpler rules and filters interface, better spam filtering, and best of all huge free storage space. BUT there are a couple of flaws.

I have a number of businesses and the signature for one business is not always appropriate for another. In Outlook you can add as many signatures as you like and select the one you wish to use for a particular e mail but in G Mail there is only provision for creating only one.  You can get over this using g mail ‘Canned Responses’ but it is a bit clumsy. A proper multi signature system would be better.

 It is possible to access G Mail using Mozilla Firefox and then download a Plug In from  http://www.wisestamp.com  however if you are an Outlook user it might be better to carry on using a system you are familiar with rather than be distracted by learning something new when time is of the essence.

That’s what I am doing, cutting out time wasting learning of new systems ands using the tools I have.

 The procedure for entering signatures is in Outlook is straight forward.

 Create or modify e-mail signatures in Outlook

There are few better ways to spread the word about your business than a well crafted e mail signature

An e-mail signature consists of text or pictures, or both. If you choose to create and use a signature, Microsoft Outlook automatically adds it to your outgoing e-mail messages.

   2. In the Signature for replies and forwards list, click the signature you want.

How to use your e mail signature to promote Magnetic Sponsoring

Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring is based on his Funded Proposition where the funds needed to advertise for recruitment to a network marketing (MLM) business are generated by selling his digital training products. But how good are they? He says that adding a promotion for one of the Magnetic Sponsoring products capture pages to your e mail signature or autoresponder messages is an extremely effectiveway to promote your business.

“It is one of the most important ways of kicking off  your plan to self fund  the building of an effective network marketing team. And it’s FREE so don’t skip it!. Adding a Magnetic Sponsoring signature line to all of your personal e-mails (it doesn’t matter which one, just pick your favorite) and autoresponder e-mails will generate free traffic and more affiliate commissions.”  Lets test that.

 I have been using my signature to promote my web sites and businesses for some time now and so far as I am aware my messages haven’t caused a shower of prospects so I thought, if e mail signatures are so effective, what I am doing wrong?

Well I have researched and I have learned and if you have an old e mail from me you will know! I have loaded up my signatures with descriptions and lists for everything that’s my mistake. This is one case where less is more.

 Mikes suggested signatures for the various magnetic sponsoring products are below. They work wonderfully for him, are quite brief and he suggests that you feel free to mix and match your favorite lines to make your own version.

Customizing your Signatures – What do you want your reader to do?

When creating a promotional email signature, first you have to figure out how you want the reader to react. Do you want him/her to visit your web site, to purchase your products, or to subscribe to your blog perhaps?

Maybe you even want to create several signatures for different reasons: One to promote your newsletter, one that links to your blog or web site, one that fits the signature rules of your favorite discussion list, and so on.

Once you have decided on the goal of your signature, you can go on and create your email signature. It is best to use a real simple text editor to create your first signature, such as Notepad. Notepad is easier to transfer to your mail server than Word.  I recommend creating a text file that contains all your signatures. Then it is easy to find a specific signature when you need it, and when you create a new one, you do not have to start from the scratch but modify an existing signature.

Your signature always starts with a greeting and your own name. Depending on the audience, you can also include your title and company name. However, I do recommend that you do not include your phone and fax numbers, at least not in promotional signatures and remember KISS – (Keep It Simple Stupid!)

Recognize the Opportunity that e mail signatures offer
it is generally acknowledged that email signatures are one of the best selling tools internet marketers have. Think about it, how many emails do you send out on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? Every email you send out is a chance to sell yourself and your product or services. Don’t waste it!

Now that you recognize the opportunity, how do you write an effective one? How long should it be? What do you say? Following is a step-by-step method to writing an effective email signature to bring in sales.

 1.                 Step 1 – Link to Your Profile – Who is the I M Virgin?
Effective email signatures often link to an online profile. This is one of the best uses of this space. And, all it takes is a simple line, here’s mine “To learn more about me, please visit my online profile http://www.ecademy.com/account.php?id=192655.” That also links to my ecademy.com page, a great source of internetworking. 

 2.                 Step 2 – Link to Other Websites – But only the ones that matter.
Many business builders and online marketers have several domains that showcase their various specialties and interests. For example, Bee and I have a primary site that we’ve had for years. It’s an information portal about hypnosis, life coaching and publishes articles about how the mind works www.thelifedesignstudio.com I have two other sites as well, one dedicated to health wealth and happiness for the over 50’s www.50pluslifedesign.com , and another to the helping people stop smoking www.stopsmokingconsultants.com . One www.yummychoc4health is a portal to my healthy chocolate business, four separate sites for three branches of my business.

Remember KISS (Keep  It Simple Stupid) You cannot write an effective email signature that covers all of this, it just causes confusion.  Instead list those details in your profile and send your reader there to satisfy their curiosity. For business building I include the address for the capture page which I want the prospect to click on and my blog www.internetmarketingvirgin.com which has articles which reinforce the value of my proposition.

You may need more than one   Effective signatures will target a specific market to take a specific action which is why you may need a number of different signatures and ways to attach then easily.

 3.                 Step 3 – Link to Products and/or Services You Sell or Promote
This is of course the main point an effective email signature can and should include links to products or services you sell or promote. Consider a  p.s.. (post script)statement says, “p.s..: Want to learn more about my business proposition? Click here for more details.” The “here” is hyperlinked to the sales page for my business (in this case www.yummychoc4health.com )

 4.                 Step 4 – Leave it out! – What NOT to Put in Your Signature
Forget the cute, inspirational or poetic phrases in your email signature. Unless you’re a comedian with a “Joke a Day” site, you’re just wasting precious ad space.
Making a living as a freelance writer and/or an internet marketer is hard enough. Why give away ad space.

 5.                 Step 5 – Make them an offer they can’t refuse

Offer a reason why they should contact you now, to get an offer or a gift. If you have written an effective article or post, suggest an additional resource you could provide to them, or a way you could help them. Make sure they know how to quickly request this additional help.

Don’t let one more day go by without taking a moment to create an effective email signature. It can take less than two minutes to set up, and is perhaps the most cost-effective online marketing you can do. After all, it’s free!

Then Test Test and Test again – Overall, while there are no hard and fast rules regarding your signature file, there are some guidelines. Your “sig” in your everyday emails might be shorter – not containing each of the items above, while sigs for your articles or posts or sales letters may be longer. Use your good judgment, use this list of guidelines, and experiment to find what works best for you.

Remember your Market

Your language will be different if your market is American than in the UK

97% of people who start a network marketing business drop out, why is that?

If 97% of network marketing (MLM) startups fail, it follows that for the 3 in every 100 who take the trouble to learn what to do properly their dreams come true– for them it can be a million dollar business which costs very little to set up and goes on producing income day in day out even when they stop working on it.

Nevertheless it is true that every day, most people who join a network marketing company with a flurry of enthusiasm only to have it fall flat. Some lose a lot of money, friends and family get mad at them, everybody is worse off, and then they give up, Can you blame them?

So what is the secret? How can you and I be in in the top 3%

In his much acclaimed program Magnetic Sponsoring Mike Dillard says the answer is to ditch the tired old advice of  making your list of 250 people, talking to anyone you see, dragging in family and friends.  Instead why not access the limitless power of the net. That sounds attractive but does it work?

www.internetmarketingvirgin.com is test driving Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring methods.  Mike claims that he can ‘help you generate an endless stream of distributors knocking down your door, credit card in hand ready to join’

That’s just what I want for my MLM businesses so will Mike’s methods work for me?

Follow me in real time on twitter and log on here to find out how I am doing.

One of Mike’s main guiding principles is that ‘in order to get you have to give’ and he certainly practices what he preaches.

When you subscribe to his mail list you will find that two out of every three  e mails he sends to you are really helpful and don’t have any selling motive other than to pass on useful tips.

You are not snowed under with hype and sell either.  The very first mail you get when you register your details on the Magnetic Sponsoring site offers you  a 7 Day Video Boot Camp on how to attract new leads and customers to you absolutely free.

The Video Boot Camp Videos  explain in detail on how you can earn money while you prospect for new distributors and generate an endless new stream of leads for free and earn commissions from your prospects even if they say no to your opportunity.  

I am going to take that course over the next 7 days and I will let you know what happens for me day by day.

So what happens when you part with your name and address to magnetic sponsoring?   

Well of course you get offered the opportunity to buy Magnetic Sponsoring  

You might want to buy it now and see for yourself. It isn’t a fortune – just $39.95 – and if you want they will even send it out for you to try for 7 days with no commitment to buy – and offer a 12 month money back guarantee,  see below.*  

Mike has been around a number years now and has a great on line reputation – there really is no risk.  

You also get five really valuable free gifts to help you on the way.

What happens if you don’t buy – are you hounded with spam?

No, mike will put you on his mailing list and you will get some great tips from him (actually his e mails are a master class in Internet Marketing and well worth getting to see his techniques in action) of course you can unsubscribe at any time

It’s 10.30 at night here, my free 7 day video boot camp starts tomorrow so I had better post this now before I go to sleep with this web book in my lap.

 Goodnight and great dreams.

“Mikes Guarantee

If in the next YEAR you don’t sponsor at LEAST 10 brand new people into your business each month… if other network marketers don’t pound on your door almost begging you to join your downline… if your friends, family and co-workers don’t corner you and DEMAND to know your “secret” for quickly making so much money…

…I’ll buy the manual back from you and…

Sounds good to me!

Can you build a profitable Network Marketing business on the Internet?

 Do your friends and family turn and run when they see you coming?

The trouble with network marketing is that sooner or later everyone has heard your pitch and if they see coming towards them ll too often they turn tail and head on the opposite direction. 

I want to find out  if  the internet can help you avoid becoming a social outcast and enable you build your network marketing business worldwide.  When you really know what you are doing can you build a successful networking business without making yourself a social pariah in your own community? Can you really build a profitable newtork marketing business on the internet?

I have a great business, I eat Chocolate – healthy chocolate - for a living!   I consume the product every day, it is delicious,  I love it and I believe in it. In less than three years several of my up-line have become dollar millionaires in in the healthy chocolate business and I intend to do the same.

So what is stopping me?

I have told everybody in my social and business network about my fantastic opportunity and frankly recruitment has been bit slow.   It isn’t the fault of the products or the compensation plan – they are both great and everybody loves them.  I just can’t seem to put my offer  in front of enough really good seriously interested people.

My upline says ‘Keep at it day and night, personal, belly to belly, introductions are the only effective way. Build your list of 250 names’ they say ‘ talk to your doctor, your accountant and your dentist, your aunty, your nephew and the girl at the supermarket checkout.  If you are within three feet of someone pitch them.  Have meetings in your home or in hotels and do what we do and all will follow.’

To me that’s uncomfortable, time consuming, and really hard work.  I hate it and I don’t want to spend my time doing things I hate.

I don’t want to frighten off all my family and social contacts by becoming an MLM bore either! Who wants to live like that?  I don’t – and now I want to find out if there is another way.

Times they are a’changing and while it is true that the old fashioned ways will produce results – excellent results – shouldn’t it be possible these days to build your business on the internet accessing thousands of people worldwide?

Is that possible? – thousands of people are building successful businesses on the net.   Of course nothing happens without working for it but I believe in working smart not hard and I intend to find out for myself.

I am not alone in believing that there has to be a better way

Mike Dillard had struggled for six years before he came to the same conclusion.  He realised that the time has come to drag the 60 year old network marketing industry into the 21st Century and in 2007 he developed the world shaking methods which became Magnetic Sponsoring and later Traffic Formula.  Now Mike is a multi millionaire simply by following his own methods and sharing his secrets with us.  Today using these methods Mike Dillard claims that Magnetic Sponsoring is the most popular generic lead generation system and affiliate system available.  Mike is certainly making money but will his systems work for me?
