Product Review:Email Promos

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.

*************************************************

I 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.

VIDEO 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 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.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of
the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this
video, but now I know better.

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 P.S. 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 P.S. 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 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.

"Just Stage It"

WHAT IS HOME STAGING? The Five D's..

Home Stagers in Atlanta / Chamblee area (Home-A-Dress) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:11:38 -0800

Home Staging is the use of marketing and decorating techniques to create an environment & lifestyle that buyers want. When you put your house on the market it becomes a product, something for sell. For a product to sell, it has to be successfully marketed and that is where Home-A-Dress comes in. We want to create emotions and "Lifestyle Illusions" throughout the house so the buyers feel that they have to have what they see. We want them to think, "I want this house." And here is how we make that happen....

The 5 D's of a successfully staged home:

1. Digest - Room by room we will walk through and take note of our first impressions. What grabs us, what glares at us, and what gives to us a feeling of home?

2. De-Clutter - We will start packing things away in order to create a more open and spacious feel. People buy square footage.

3. De-personalize - In order for a buyer to feel at home, we must do-away-with the feeling of this being someone else's home. We'll therefore "de-personalize" the space while retaining its warmth.

4. Deep Cleaning - The dirty work is sometimes overlooked because you've lived here for so long. Let's get rid of the buyers' mental "repair list" by doing it ourselves.

5. Add Drama, Drama, Drama - We want to create the "WOW" factor. We will update the style so the buyers feel they are getting the latest and greatest. This is the main focus of our strategy.
Finding the focal points, we will emphasize what is great about the room and detract from the negative aspects. We build these connection points so the buyers subconsciously desire "this" house. By utilizing lighting and color, we make each room into a bright, warm, and inviting space that buyers will better respond to.

These 5 keys help us at Home-A-Dress create a warm and inviting atmosphere that will apeal to a broad market of potential homebuyers.

Realtors..How to Enhance and Set Apart Your Services Using Home Staging

Home Stagers in Atlanta / Chamblee area (Home-A-Dress) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:10:41 -0800

1) Add A Home Staging Professional to Your List of Service Providers

Encourage your clients who are selling their home to consider Home Staging as a powerful marketing tool.
Home Staging is an excellent way to prepare a home for sale, utilizing your clients existing furniture and accessories, re-arranged, organized, de-cluttered and freshened up allowing your client's house to shine like the jewel it can be.
Remember, the investment your client makes in Home Staging is always less than a price reduction!
Home Staging has proven to result in a home selling faster and for more money than un-Staged Homes, especially now that the market is changing and listings are taking longer to sell.

2) Offer a Home Staging Consultation as Part of Your Listing Service

Offering a Home Staging Consultation to your clients is a great way to differentiate yourself in the marketplace. There are various ways to negotiate the Consultation offer, such as:

The homeowner pays for the Staging Consultation.
You choose whether or not to reimburse the fee from escrow at closing.
You provide the Staging Consultation as a listing gift. A small investment for a sizeable return.

Realtors and Home Stagers: Partnerships that work!

Home Stagers in Atlanta / Chamblee area (Home-A-Dress) — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:48:15 -0800

There are so many wonderful reasons why partnering with a professional home stager can help your business. A professional home stagers purpose is to make your job easier by working gently with your clients in order to transform each room of the home into something potential buyers can aspire to live in. While the home stagers do this during a Staging Day, they are also getting great photos for you to use in your marketing campaign.

Look at your current listings, especially the photos. How do they look? Do they have a "model home" quality or are they vacant or sterile looking?

Knowing that over 80% of home buyers are online FIRST, how does your listing stack up against the competition?

There are buyers out there in this marketplace. They're just choosing to buy the homes that look best, were marketed to their family and it's needs, and didn't leave the potential of the home up to their imagination. In other words, the few home buyers out there are choosing professionally staged homes.

If you've done the expensive and time-consuming job of renovating, don't decide to save money when it comes to furnishings and accessories!

It's hard to stay motivated when you've gone through expensive renovations, suffered with delays, gone over your budget. You can be tempted to say, "it's good enough."

This is short sighted and can cost you alot of money!

It's relatively inexpensive to rent anything you may need, and these finishing touches help ensure you make the profit you deserve for all those renovations.

Imagine it's the Academy Awards. A big star is wearing a fabulous designer gown so she decides she doesn't need to get her hair done. Does everyone talk about the fabulous gown? Of course not, all they can remember is that terrible hair.

Not providing the finishing touches leaves a huge amount of money on the table when it's time to sell.

Or imagine a fine painting placed in a dollar store frame. Does the painting have the same appeal as it would if it had gone to a professional framer? No, suddenly it looks like it must be a cheap painting instead of the beautiful work of art that it is.

Conversely, have you ever taken one of your 3 year old's paintings and had it framed? What a difference compared to how it looked when you had it on the fridge with a magnet.

Why does one shirt sell for $15 and another for $100? They're both 100% cotton and they're probably made in the same country. The $100 version has a big name on the label, it's sold in a fine boutique.

It's all about context and packaging... home staging is about packaging a home to show off its best features and downplay the flaws. Home staging is about romancing the buyer, putting them in the mood to make an emotional connection with a house. Let us dress your home for succes.

What is Home Staging? Could it be the answer to Atlanta's slow market?

Home Stagers in Atlanta / Chamblee area (Home-A-Dress) — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:50:41 -0700

Home Staging is the use of marketing and decorating techniques to create an environment & lifestyle that buyers want. When you put your house on the market it becomes a product, something for sell. For a product to sell, it has to be successfully marketed and that is where Home-A-Dress comes in. We want to create emotions and "Lifestyle Illusions" throughout the house so the buyers feel that they have to have what they see. We want them to think, "I want this house." And here is how we make that happen....

The 5 D's of a successfully staged home:

1. Digest - Room by room we will walk through and take note of our first impressions. What grabs us, what glares at us, and what gives to us a feeling of home?

2. De-Clutter - We will start packing things away in order to create a more open and spacious feel. People buy square footage.

3. De-personalize - In order for a buyer to feel at home, we must do-away-with the feeling of this being someone else's home. We'll therefore "de-personalize" the space while retaining its warmth.

4. Deep Cleaning - The dirty work is sometimes overlooked because you've lived here for so long. Let's get rid of the buyers' mental "repair list" by doing it ourselves.

5. Add Dram, Drama, Drama - We want to create the "WOW" factor. We will update the style so the buyers feel they are getting the latest and greatest. This is the main focus of our strategy.
Finding the focal points, we will emphasize what is great about the room and detract from the negative aspects. We build these connection points so the buyers subconsciously desire "this" house. By utilizing lighting and color, we make each room into a bright, warm, and inviting space that buyers will better respond to.

These 5 keys help us at Home-A-Dress create a warm and inviting atmosphere that will apeal to a broad market of potential homebuyers. Trust us home staging is the key to success in Atlanta's slow real estate market.

I'm Low budget, un-accredited, inexperienced, pricey?, oh and ethnic! What could be the problem?

Home Stagers in Atlanta / Chamblee area (Home-A-Dress) — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:31:15 -0700

I've recently put up my website http://www.HomeADress.net (Home Staging Services). And immediately began directing traffic to it. For the past few weeks i've been anxiously awaiting the calls from agents and homeowners that need my service here in Atlanta, but the calls haven't come.

I've talked to some stagers and they can't find enough time to stage all the people that call them (none have referred work to me by the way,lol.) And I just want to know what i'm doing wrong. Here's a few possible problem areas:

I don't have the biggest advertising budget, so that could be the culprit. I've only place a zillion ads on Craigslist.com
I'm not an "acreditted" stager, I prefer staging "naked". Are people turned off by the lack of letters after my name?
I don't have a ton of pictures on my website. I've only began photographing my work recently as before i only staged to help friends out or redesigned their places as a favor.This picture may be alittle dark...
Are my prices too high, I've never tried to put a price on my staging before, and what i charge is based on what i've seen stated by other stagers.
And I'm a Black male stager, an absolute oddity it seems in the profession of home staging.

These are the things that i see that could be holding me back form getting business like I want. Can anyone give me anymore insight as to why its not going so well for me here in Atlanta? Or at-least can anyone offer some encouragement. I know the homes are out there that need my staging services, but I can't seem to connect with the homeowners or the Realtors that list them. Sincerely,

Shawn Parker

How fast do you want your Listing to sell?

Home Stagers in Atlanta / Chamblee area (Home-A-Dress) — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 13:10:11 -0700

I'm a Home stager in the Atlanta area and I'm trying to get a feel for who needs my services. Recent statistics state that professionally "Staged" homes sell for 7% more and almost 50% faster than non-staged homes. the average time for staged homes on the market is only 15 days, and non-staged homes is 30 days.

With these facts out there its almost crazy to not stage your listing but it still happens, people still don't understand that in order to get at or above asking price in this market you have to invest in your property. And frankly a home stager is one of the best investments you can make.

Now i pose this question to all real estate agents. What is the average time that your listings are on the market for the past year? Have you looked into home staging? And what about home staging makes you hesitant to require your listings utilize this all important tool.

Oh and by the way, "Staging" will cost less than the first reduction in asking price, which can be from $2,000-$50,000.
