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?

for you by walking

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 could be the most important video of
the
entire package for a lot of people, because most
people email their
list to promote other people's
products as an affiliate. Let's face it, if
you
only have 3 products, can you really afford to
only email your list 3
times a year? They'll get
bored hearing about the same old products
over
and over again. 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.
