The No B.S. internet marketing Blog By Lauri Niskasaari

Okay, once you have written your follow up email, you need to load it up to your autoresponder.

This is how it goes with aweber: click Messages ==> Follow up

And then click add new follow up message:

And then you`ll get to add the headline and choose if you want to choose html or plain text template for your email.

This is how it looks like:

I almost always use html template (basic template).

This is because html template allows you to track open rates for your email and add nice-looking tracking links to my emails.

…and If you use plain text template, you can`t track open rates and if you want to track clicks, the link looks ugly (and long).

The thing is, if you want to add a link to affiliate product using html template, you can make it look like it`s not affiliate link at all…All you need to do is click insert / edit hyperlink button:

And then you`ll come up with the box where you fill in the details of your link:

…and You can enter something like “Check this out” to link text section to make your link look good.

For example you have a product you want to promote and you`ve got affiliate url like:  http://xxxxx.xxxxx.hop.clickbank.net/  you can enter something like “check this out” as text and you`ve just created a good-looking clickable link that doesn`t look like affiliate link.

So instead of giving out ugly looking affiliate link (that no-one wants to click) your link looks nice and like part of your email content. This is a good way to increase your click through rates.

After that you`ll need to enter how many days after your previous follow-up message you want your current message to be sent.

Also remember to check the Track links box so you can see how many clicks you get:

After that you can preview and save your message and you`re all set. Pretty easy, right?

Thanks for reading,
