Email Management System
A email management system, can be a really good tool for staying in touch and communicating with your customers, and a email list can also be a really good asset
And by now you probably know what an asset it
If you stopped working today, would currency still flow into your pockets?
An asset is something which generates currency without you having to constantly work
The opposite of an asset is something which draws currency out of your pocket
An asset is something that continuously and passively(or almost passively) makes currency flow to your pockets
Real assets are low maintenance
And your email list & follow up campaigns can be one such asset
Imagine a email being sent to your list which links to your products/services, and then people bought
What would happen in your life if you got 5, 10, 20, 100 people to buy from one email?
Someone which I don’t exactly who said something along the lines of:
“Being able to send a email and instantly generate currency from that, is almost like having the ability to print money on demand”
And imagine that the emails could be programmed to be sent out to the subscribers on autopilot

Automatic Follow Up Sequence / Auto-Responder
When sending emails to your list there are two different types:
- 1) Broadcast emails, which you simply write and send out (warm)
- 2) Follow up sequences, emails which you write ahead of time and schedule in your auto
responder (cold)
You can choose to manually stay in touch with your customers or use a auto-responder
sequence/follow up sequence
A auto-responder is a sequence of emails that you have written in advance, which automatically get sent out to, in the order you want, to those who opt in for that sequence
Email 1 on day 1, email 2 on day 2, email 3 on day 5 etc
Pros:
• Can pre-write emails for months, and “set it and forget it” • Can be used to build a 100% automatic business modelCons:
• Cold
• Impersonal
• People often feel/know it’s prewritten • Not good for building relationships
• Can’t stay up with current relevancy • Lacks feeling of authenticity
• Risk of getting bad reputationI like writing broadcast emails most of the time, and just to use the followup sequences in order to build the engine of a marketing machine
