Marketing Comparison: JMailerPro vs. PushButtonEmailer

I wanted to do a comparison on bulk emailers because in my opinion, it is one of the most cost effective ways to generate quality leads and it is a way for people brand new in a business to start generating their own leads fast and cheap.

Set up of a system usually costs about $100 or less and then after that you have the monthly hosting fee usually between $4.95 to $14.95, your annual domain renewal which is around $11.99, and then your cost of email leads which should never go above $.05 a lead in my opinion. I currently pay about a $.01 lead, less if I buy during a sale.

JMailerPro is an emailing system that I have been using for about a month now. It is a one time purchase of the software that costs $45 if you want to install yourself or $55 (which I reccomend) if you have them install it for you. After you purchase the software, you own it.

You do have to be careful, especially when your account is new, to not get blacklisted. To do this, you need to make sure that you start out slow so for the first week, it is recommended that you only send out to lists of 200 or less. Then the following week up it to 500 or less. By week three you can send out to lists of 1000 at a time.

As for emails you are allowed up to 360 an hour. Sounds great but the problem is, if you send out too many per hour then you will find yourself getting blacklisted. So for the first 2 weeks, send out 10 or less. Then once you are at a 1000, you can send up to 37 every 15 minutes.

Another draw back to JMailer is that because you are only sending out at the most 1000 at a time, you need to split your lists into groups of 1000. This may not be a big deal when you are dealing with lists of 5000 but when you are purchasing large lists of 10,000 or more, this gets very time consuming.

Also, you can only send out to one list at a time, and you have to wait for a list to be done before you upload and start sending to the next. JMailer is very simple to use but they have no way of tracking if people are opening your emails or clicking your links.

I was turned on to PushButtonEmailer by my lead vendor's blog. I have never been disappointed in his leads or his customer service so I decided to check out this mailer. In the 72 hours that I have been using it, I have had my socks knocked off.

PushButtonEmailer, or PBE for short, costs about $80 to get set up. Then it is $39.95 a month there after. For the results, it is worth every penny. Unlike JMailer, you can upload up to 100,000 contacts at a time and they will pace your send rate. Not only that, but from day one I was getting out 2500-5000 emails per day.

They have a global list scrubber that will scrub your list for you before you even upload your leads. Then when uploading a window pops up and it will only upload leads with valid email addresses and you can decide whether or not you want duplicates uploaded.

Setting up campaigns is very easy and once you upload your list it takes less than five minutes to get a campaign going and that is it. You don't need to log in everyday upload a new list and send them out. It will automatically go through until your list is finished.

It also gives you the tracking which I love. The tracking will show you how many of your emails were delivered, how many bounced, was it a soft or hard bounce and the reason behind it, who unsubscribed, who opened your email and who clicked the link(s) in your email. Plus you can extract those that opened your email and put them in their own list for follow up.

They have a spam checker so when you write your campaign you can see how deliverable it will be based on content, and they have a video email option so you can send them videos instead of just text.

In the three days I have been using PBE, I have to say that I have noticed a huge improvement in my response rate. Now like I said JMailer does not keep track of deliverability but when emails could not be delivered they would show up in my hosting email inbox. I sent the same email to the same 27,000 person list through both JMailer and PBE.

My list is almost half done in three days, as opposed to over a month with JMailer. With PBE it is on autopilot and I just log in to check stats and progress. I have noticed a 71% delivery rate with PBE as opposed to 27% with JMailer. I am also noticing a much lower bounce rate with PBE, only 29% as opposed to 73% with JMailer.

I am also getting almost 1% open rate, which may not seem like a lot, but consider this. Out of 27,000 email leads, 19,170 are opening my email. Out of those, 191 people are clicking through. Out of those, 95 people are opting in to my site and watching my presentation. 66 of those are now in my autoresponder getting my free ebooks every 3 days and a few of them will end up getting started, but around 28 people will be getting started with me in my business. While 28 people out of 27,000 may not seem like a lot, I make $1000 for each of those people. $28,000 seems like a pretty good week to me.

Now these numbers aren't exact, but they are pretty consistent. Out of the 66 people that have clicked through over the last 3 days, 9 of them have already gotten started and 4 more want to get started but have to talk it over with their spouse. JMailer only brought me 2 out of the whole 27,000.

PBE is user friendly, quick to get set up and running, and definitely got me a much better response then JMailer.

$100K 90 Day Challenge

In network marketing we have many sayings.

-You can do anything for 90 days.

-It takes 90 days to establish a new habit.

-It is better to go fast than slow.

-It is easier to go fast than slow.

I am sure you can think of many more. I first discovered network marketing back in 1998. My first company was a telecommunications company and it was my first lesson in learning the importance of picking the right company with the right products and the right compensation plan. I was only with that company for a few months but it was too late, I had caught the bug and never wanted to work for anyone else again.

Shortly after that I received a booklet in the mail that offered information on yet another MLM business. After doing my research I decided to join this almost 20 year old health and nutrition company. To every one's surprise, especially my family's, I had amazing success. The products were easy to retail because people got results on them. Their pay plan (for an MLM) was incredible paying out $.76 of every dollar to its distributors. My 6 years of actively working that business set me up for success and to this day I still receive my risidual check every month even though I have not actively worked my business in years.

Toward the end of 2004 I was introduced to a new idea (new to me) in network marketing. High ticket items with profits of hundreds and thousands. A chance to get paid 10 times as much for the same work. So I joined my third network marketing company and loved it. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, the company imploded and I found myself not knowing what I wanted to do.

Then one day on Facebook I saw a couple of updates from people that I had worked with in my previous company. They seemed very excited about their products and company and I know they would not settle working for a company that did not have a very lucrative compensation plan. So once again I started to do some research. I quickly saw a place for me and joined Avant.

After 12 years in network marketing, I have no doubt that I could join any legitimate company and be successful in it. But that is not the average person. The average person has either never owned their own business or has never been successful in one. The average person has around $500-$2000 available for start up, not $25,000. They are not very good at lead generation and the leads they do generate usually cost them $6 or more per lead.

Whenever I have shown friends and family my business in the past, their excuses for not getting started are that they don't have the time, the money, or the experience that I have. So this time I decided that I wanted to run an experiment if you will. I wanted to join an amazing company with amazing products and an amazing income potential. I wanted to start at the bottom, where anyone can afford to start, put together a marketing plan that anyone can duplicate, and generate amazing results that anyone can have if they just plug in.

I am challenging myself to create $100,000 of income, over the next 90 days from the bottom. I am planning to post frequently, probably daily, updates to let you know what actions I took as well as any progress. Anyone that wants to also join in on this challenge is welcomed to, no matter your business, just make sure it is a business where $100,000 in 90 days is possible. You are also invited to take a look at my opportunity with Avant join my team and participate in this challenge.

 

 

So many times I hear people complain about their leads. If they are generating leads on their own they complain they are either not generating enough leads or that their cost per lead is too high. I have become very good at generating leads over the years but again, I want to be easy to duplicate so for the next 90 days, all my leads are going to be purchased leads or generated through email marketing (easy to copy and very cheap). I have purchased leads from national leads for years. They have an awesome variety of leads, great prices, and wonderful customer service.

I have also decided to invest in mlm Pro Burner, an amazing tool to help with calling a high volume of people which is the key to this 90 day challenge. It is basically free for the first month since it costs $149 but you get $149 of lead credit with National Leads. Another tool I would recommend to anyone in any kind of business where they speak to people is the Dani Johnson Script Book. My company does have a script that it recommends, but I have to be honest I prefer the scripts in this book along with the training CD. I have gotten more results from what I have learned in here than anything else.

I am laying out the dates and putting the final touches on my plan. Make sure you keep checking in on my progress. Let's see if I can prove the masses wrong.

I Challenge You

Have you ever had one of those days, when it seems like everyone you run into and everyone that calls you wants to complain?

Luckily I have the LLI community and a small group of friends that "get it". Those that don't I choose not to talk to. Hopefully at some time they will have some good news but until then they will continue to get my voicemail and I will continue to not return their emails.

Why? Because neither one of us will benefit from me listening to their whining. If they would actually listen to my response, they might benefit, but time has shown again and again that regardless of what I say, they will remain in "victim mode".

Which brings me to my topic. Our book in our book club the last couple of weeks has been T. Harv Eker's "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind". The first wealth file is "Rich people believe "I create my life". Poor people believe "life happens to me"."

So as I was deleting voicemails and emails of my "victim" friends and family, I decided to bring this up in the hopes that maybe some of them might read it and take a hint. The first hint being, GO BUY THIS BOOK AND READ IT!!!!

The lesson in this first wealth file, talks about the 3 clues to recognize being a victim. Blame, justification, and complaint. When you are doing any of these things you are NOT taking control of your life and situation. I think he puts it best in saying, "when you are complaining, you become a living, breathing CRAP MAGNET."

He issues a challenge which I think is great and I have used for quite some time now. He says to challenge yourself to not complain at all for seven days, not out loud, not in your head. The full seven days is important because the first few days you may have some "residual crap" left over.

He goes on to recommend that every time you do catch yourself being a victim by blaming, justifying, or complaining about something, take your index finger and slide it across your throat to remind yourself that you are "slitting your financial throat."

This simple activity can transform you from victim to victor and can dramatically change your life. I challenge all of you to do it. Especially if you want me to call you back!

Make it a great day, you have the control.

Misery Loves Company

Yesterday I decided to go to the bar around the corner from my house to have a late lunch, early dinner. When I got there, there were only a handful of people at the bar. I have been going to this bar for about 8 years now so I know everyone that works there and I know a lot of the patrons. I sit down, say hi to those I know, order a drink and lunch and start reading my book.

My phone keeps lighting up and to my excitement they are leads popping up in my email. (I have a blackberry and get my email on my phone)

The guy across from me is reading the newspaper. The two guys sitting to my left are watching the soccer game on tv. The two guys on my right are talking, in very loud voices, about how bad things are and the economy, the usual negative talk.

I call the girl behind the bar over and ask her to do me a favor and buy a round for everyone on my tab. "Sure! No Problem! What are you celebrating?" she aks. "Nothing, just feel like buying everyone a drink." I answer.

Here is where it gets interesting. While she is getting the drinks, the guy next to me looks over at me and says, "Thanks for the drink. I notice your phone keeps going off, you must be popular."

"No, actually I have my own business and people are contacting me for more information." I say.

"Wow, your own business huh? With the economy the way it is, it must be tough." He says.

"Actually it is doing awesome thanks! Business is out of control."

He leans back away from me and gets this real nasty tone and attitude and says, "How is it that everyone else is losing their homes, big businesses are shutting their doors, people are getting laid off, and your business is doing well. You're telling me that everyone else is suffering and you are doing just fine?"

"Yes, I am thriving. The economy is not bad, it is just different (I quoted Brent from the visionaries call) and I know a lot of people that are doing far better than I am." I said back with a big smile on my face.

He stopped talking to me, (which was fine because I didn't want his negativity) and went on to bitch to his friend about me. He was mad at me for doing well, mad at me for being happy, and mad at me for not being a victim. Because I didn't see things from his point of view and because I wouldn't be part of his pitty party, he was actually hostile toward me.

You hear all the time at people being mad at someone because they are the downer or the party pooper but how do you like that? Being mad at someone because they are taking control and living their life full out.

And yes, I still bought him his beer. I was doing that for my benefit in the first place!
