Default 99% Success Rate At Getting Emails Opened Using PAYPAL

Howdy Dien,

Here's what I do to get Emails opened when I email a Total Stranger,
New Ezine Subscriber or a Biz Owner I want to Interview or Joint Venture
with.

EZ and Straightforward.

I send them a **1.00 THANK YOU Note.**

The Thank You Note Contains a LINK to a Valuable Report, Case Study
or other piece of information IN That person's area of INTEREST.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Recently - I Got Several Letters from a local Insurance Agent. To Get Her to
CALL ME I sent her a 1.00 And a Link to This Report on how I Set Up Joint
Ventures by cherry picking small biz owners from local Trade Show Events.

Here is the Link I put in her "1.00 Thank You Note"
inside the little Paypal Box.

http://archive.enchantednlp.com/ezine.php?issueno=2476

The
Reason Why
It
gets
Opened
99% of the time is the SUBJECT LINE!

Which says, "You Have Money!"

Almost 100% CLICK ON The Link and then they start emailing me back and forth.

Try it.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

Hi Glenn,

Do you actually send them $1.00 through PayPal (if I understood you right)?

If so, that's interesting... It reminds me of what they sometimes call "grabbers" in direct mail - for example, a coin taped to the corner of a letter, which gets people reading.

I think it'd sure get my attention!

Could be very useful when you want to get a specific person's attention - especially if they might be "swamped" by others wanting their attention, too...

I'd love to read a further explanation...

Best wishes,

Dien

Yes - Glenn actually sends the $1 by PayPal. And adds his message to the message field that PayPal provides.

He has been using this tactic since a long time. And I've used it a few times after seeing him do it too. It works really well.

Thanks Phil for talking about Bitcoins.
I'm fascinated by its concept. And have been dabbling with it since a couple of months now.

I think it has good potential to become the "currency of the internet."
Its early days for it however - so its extremely volatile.

Getting Started With Bitcoins

1. Don't download the official Bitcoin software. Its too slow and bloated. Instead open your bitcoin wallet online with http://blockchain.info/wallet/ - make sure you activate 2 factor authentication and take a backup as security measures. (Blockchain also offers a paper backup option - so if you have bought a lot of bitcoins, you can take a paper printout and put that paper in your safety deposit box.)

2. Buying and selling bitcoins. Mtgox.com is the biggest bitcoin exchange and sets the price. Other places to check out buying and selling bitcoins: localbitcoins.com and bitinstant.com (can buy bitcoins by paying cash at a local Walmart or 7/11.)

3. Setting up bitcoins on your website so people can pay with bitcoins. Sign up with either bitpay.com or coinbase.com (USA based only as of now). Both are easy to setup. Awesome part about bitcoins is no chargebacks, no fraud, and no exorbitant credit card fees. So you will improve your bottom line by 5-6% right away. The downside about bitcoins is that it is too volatile right now. So you have to either hedge it, or convert it instantly to USD, to not be affected by it. Bitpay and coinbase both allow instant conversion to USD (Bitpay supports a few other currencies too...)

If you do start accepting Bitcoins, it would be a good idea to send out a press release to your local media outlets. They will most likely interview you - because there is a lot of buzz around bitcoins right now. It would also be a good idea to let people know at http://reddit.com/r/bitcoin - you'll get quite a few sales from there. People over there are hardcore about bitcoins.

If anyone has any questions about bitcoins, do ask - and I'll do my best to answer. Thanks.

Default Re: 99% Success Rate At Getting Emails Opened Using PAYPAL

Another "Subject" line that gets MY emails opened is based on my old pal "Gary Halbert" who got me started in "Remote Advertising" and Direct Mail.

One of my 1st Biz-Ops was about how to make money placing Ads on "Video Rental Cases"

Gary was a master Copy-Writer and in ONE of our many conversations he told me to .....find a local Voice Mail Service where I could rent a phone number and have a 2-minute Out-Going message! Then....in my ads....offer a FREE Recorded Message to get prospects to respond....even though they had to pay "Long-Distance" charges to connect to my Voice-Mail Recording.

This would eliminate Non-Serious inquiries! Gary told me that, in ALL my promotion efforts, in the beginning, my job was to eliminate the "Suspects from the Prospects" So...have the Headline in my ads "Grab the Greed Glands"....then....by showing a "NON-free" phone number I would get "more serious prospects"....thus eliminating some of the "suspects".

So.....fast-forwarding to 2013....I can carry this thinking on by using, "FREE Video Reveals....." to try and separate "Suspects from Prospects"!

The "Free" video's Job is then to further separate Suspects from Prospects by getting those interested in recieving more info....to fill in a "Squeeze" Form where their info is captured.

HEY! If YOU received an email with a Subject Line that says; "FREE Video Reveals...."How To.....!""...would YOU click to see what was in the Video?

Anyway.....maybe this can help someone

Default Thanks Ankesh - I Too Was Doing BitCoin Research

Thanks Ankesh,

Do You Know how the Bitcoin Currency got started?

If the President of Ebay is Seriously Studying an alternate currency there
is something there.

Sounds interesting.

Especially if the Current Financial markets are UPSET.

I've been watching and researching Bitcoin since early 2010. The biggest issue with Bitcoin right now is the exchanges - getting currency in and out of Bitcoin is a major pain in the a** and involves a very small number of exchanges - you have a centralized exchange system for a decentralized virtual commodity.

The person who created the original Bitcoin exchange (MTGOX), Jed McCaleb (some claim he is Satoshi - the person who thought up Bitcoin), has started up Ripple to address this and other problems regarding Bitcoin. It will have the capability to do all the things Internet marketers need (like subscriptions) - it will essentially be a Paypal system where someone can make a payment in any currency, but will not be beholden to a corporation like Paypal.

I'm hoping it will take off since it's currently the one new crypto idea that makes a decentralized exchange possible.

see http://www.ripple.com

P.S. - Great idea using Paypal to get people to open emails Glenn.
