If you’ve had your site for some time and already have an autoresponder in place, you may be considering creating a mini course. They are great for enticing visitors to give up their email, making them a popular addition to your lead generation strategy.
A mini course is a series of emails that offer your subscribers valuable information about a certain aspect of your niche or industry. The main purpose of this course is to teach people something they don’t already know, which is why they are seen as valuable.
Votre stratégie de marketing d'affiliation peut également bénéficier de cours par courrier électronique. En fait, si elles sont bien menées, elles peuvent constituer l'une de vos entreprises les plus rentables. Après avoir lu les principes de base du rédiger un mini-cours efficace, you’ll need to know what the best practices are to get the most results.
Voici 5 conseils d'experts pour rédiger un mini-cours qui apporte de la valeur aux lecteurs et garantit une augmentation des ventes :
-
Écrire personnellement
Emails were originally ‘personal’ before they became a marketing strategy. Why do you think businesses started using emails to attract buyers and clients? Because we normally associate emails with conversations with real people. So why not make your mini course stand out from all the useless spam by adding your own personal touch? You can customize each email to include the recipient’s first name. Or you can just say “hello, friend!” This helps build a connection with your subscribers.

Racontez votre histoire
Neil Patel doesn’t have a problem telling people how his first job was at Knott’s Berry Farm emptying trash cans. That’s because everyone has to start somewhere, and even the most popular online marketing guru started by making a few cents per hour.
Try injecting your start-up story at the beginning of your course. You don’t have to bare your soul to subscribers (unless you want to). Just give them a bit of background of why you’re doing what you’re doing and how your course is designed to help les atteindre les résultats ils veulent.
-
Promote Affiliate Products as ‘Tools’ or ‘Resources’
Along the course of the email series, offer resources to help subscribers along their journey. It may take some creativity to promote your own affiliate products in the course, but if done right, your readers won’t hesitate to spend their hard-earned money on all your recommendations.
-
Faites attention à ce que vous promettez
You should never tell your audience you’re going to do something you can’t (or won’t). If you say the mini course includes a free report, make sure they’ll eventually get that report. One of the biggest mistakes businesses and blogs make is to promise results they can’t fulfill. So, don’t say the course is guaranteed to make them thousands of dollars a month if, in fact, it won’t.

Ouvrir une conversation à deux
Pour réussir dans le marketing d'affiliation, il faut parfois beaucoup d'interaction avec les gens. Vous pouvez les encourager à répondre à vos courriels ou leur suggérer de participer à la discussion sur votre site web ou votre blog. Les discussions permanentes permettent de transformer les abonnés occasionnels en vos plus fervents défenseurs.
Invitez également les nouveaux abonnés à votre cours à se connecter avec vous sur leurs plateformes de médias sociaux préférées, comme Twitter, Facebook ou Instagram.

- Don’t send subscribers other emails on the same day. The line between ‘useful’ and ‘spammy’ is so thin that we tend to cross them unknowingly. If someone is scheduled to receive one of your email courses on a certain day, make sure you don’t bombard their inbox with content notifications and newsletters, too.
- Don’t stress about people who unsubscribe. You can’t please everyone, and you shouldn’t s'efforcer à. Parfois, les gens se désabonnent parce qu'ils se rendent compte plus tard qu'ils n'ont jamais eu besoin de votre cours au départ. Si vous savez qui est votre public cible, si vous avez rédigé et structuré correctement votre cours par e-mail et si vous avez fait une promotion intelligente de vos produits d'affiliation, vous n'avez aucune raison de vous inquiéter.
- Mettre en œuvre la règle de sept. According to this age-old marketing rule, your readers need to see or hear your marketing message at least seven times to feel comfortable buying your affiliate products or services. While there is no magic to the number “7”, the point of the rule is to make sure you stay in front of your subscribers until they comme et confiance vous.
A great mini course has the potential to boost your affiliate sales twofold. Just keep the above tips in mind and make sure to deliver exactly what you promise. You’ll have them swooning over your blog in no time!
