Story Time
1. GetResponse Landing pages
I admit it. I got caught up in the numbers game. For months, I was totally focused on building my email marketing list — more subscribers equal more sales, right?
At least that’s the way it’s supposed to work. But in reality, my sales didn’t keep pace with my list growth. So I got busy learning what it takes to improve conversions.
As it turns out, I was making a rookie mistake. I was using email to deliver a sales pitch to my marketing list, (nothing wrong with that.) But then I was dumping the reader onto my home page — not the smartest thing to do.
And then it hit me. I was doing the same thing with my Adwords campaigns, social media profiles, guest post footers, just about everything. Imagine how frustrating it was to my readers. They would click to get more about something specific and land on a general page.
I discussed it with a friend, and she told me about a concept she learned from Brian Clark of Copyblogger. He advocates using email to engage readers and get them interested. Then he takes them “off-road” to deliver specific information and close the sale. I love that image — driving your 4X4 off the road to check out an interesting path.
And what does “off-road” mean? In the world of online marketing, it means creating a landing page with the exact information the reader needs.
Lucky for me, my GetResponse account includes a landing page builder. With a few clicks, I can grab a template and customize it with my text. Then I add images, social sharing icons, and action buttons. And putting it online is a snap.
The result? Not everyone clicks to visit the landing page. (Some readers just move on to something that interests them more.) But the ones who click for more info are ready to buy. And those who don’t buy will hear from me again — with a sweeter offer.
In short, my conversions began to climb, and there’s no end in sight!

2. GetResponse Pro Package (Landing page - Webinars - Email Marketing)
Recently, I discovered a unique service and couldn’t wait to tell you about it. It’s a new twist on techniques used by top Internet marketers — one that involves videoconferencing. Here’s how I’ve seen it used in the past.
Some marketers keep it simple. They invite their email subscribers to sign up for a free online event, such as a webinar, training session, or product demo.
Other marketers make it more interesting. They design a “sideways sales letter” — a drip campaign delivering fresh content every few days. One message is text. Another might be video. Another links to a landing page. The eventual CTA is the same — sign-up for their free webinar.
What’s their goal? Getting face-to-face with prospects.
Now, I like to find out what’s new, so I enjoy receiving this type of campaign. And if the drip content is interesting, I sign up for the webinar.
We all know the webinar will end with a sales offer. And I admit — sometimes I buy. No, not every time. But the format gives me all the information I need. Then I can make a decision that’s right for me.
I’ve always wanted to try this approach — but it sounds complicated, right? I’d have to manage my contacts in multiple systems.
And then there’s the expense. When you combine landing pages, email marketing, video conferencing and external tools from various providers, it can cost upwards of $250 a month.
Then I discovered an innovative approach. GetResponse introduced a Pro package for do-it-yourselfers with no programming skills (like me), with all of those systems integrated into one account. And since they designed it for growing small businesses, it’s priced at only $49 per month.
If you’ve ever wanted to combine email, webinars, video email and landing pages to juice-up the flow of your sales funnel, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Here’s a link to the details — no opt-in required.

3. GetResponse Lead Generation System
When I started my career in online marketing, I wanted to use the best lead-generation technology available. So I diligently combed the market for innovations.
But even after choosing technology, I spent a lot of time reviewing the latest tech news to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
It burned up a lot of hours — time I could have spent on my core business. And it required a lot of mental bandwidth. (There are only so many things you can focus on in a day.)
A friend noticed my dilemma and pointed me to GetResponse. She told me they had some new tools that would interest me.
She suggested that instead of constantly searching for innovations, I should choose an innovative company and let them do the searching for me.
Believe me, I liked the sound of that. So I checked it out. She was right!
In recent years, GetResponse has come up groundbreaking innovations:
Responsive Email Design – They were first in the industry to introduce a design interface that automatically formats every message to fit the screens of any mobile or desktop device and any operating system.
Landing Pages – And they added a slick, new design interface to their platform that turns out high-converting landing pages in minutes.
Forms – They also integrated forms with landing pages to funnel sign-ups into email campaigns automatically.
Webinars - Their latest innovation is a webinar platform, now an integrated component of their PRO service option — great for demos.
And more – They’ve produced innovations in video email marketing, smartphone apps, QR codes, A/B testing, inbox preview, email timing, global view, perfect timing, and custom fields.
Just as important, they constantly update the long-time favorites:
Autoresponders – GetResponse added sophisticated timing controls and action-triggered emails and then combined it with advanced segmentation for targeted campaigns with the look and feel of one-to-one communication.
Email Creator – Likewise, they reinvented the email design interface, giving users access to hundreds of professionally designed templates, a drag-and-drop editing interface, and point-and-click tools for campaign development.
Email Analytics – And they expanded email analytics to report autoresponder performance and social media sharing. They even dovetailed it with segmentation, so users can click to create segments for finer targeting.
Can you see that I’m a big fan of GetResponse? Check it out, and you’ll discover it’s an all-inclusive platform — the only online lead-generation tool you’ll ever need.

4. GetResponse Webinar System
I was always jealous of marketers who could look into a webcam and deliver a marketing message — and carry it off with style.
Whenever I tried it, I felt exposed, like a bullfighter facing a bull. His eyes glaring. Just waiting for you to make a mistake. Did I mention that I’m a bit camera-shy?
But then it occurred to me. All the top marketers show their faces to the camera, so their followers can have a one-on-one experience with them. And not just the marketing superstars but everyday business people too.
I mentioned my camera shyness to a friend. He said I was too focused on myself. And he was right. I needed to focus on my message — and my audience. So rather than just staring into the camera, I decided to involve others using videoconferencing.
As I began my search for a service, my first reaction was “sticker shock.” But as I tried cheaper alternatives, I found that quality was a problem. The idea of glitches added to my anxiety.
That was around the time my email service provider, GetResponse, introduced a webinar add-on. I found I could upgrade to the Pro package, which includes webinars, for just a few extra bucks per month. So I did it!
For my first experiment, I invited a few of my clients to preview something I’ve been working on. GetResponse Pro enabled me to bring up my email marketing list and choose people to invite — very easy. And my invitees accepted.
And what was my topic? Videoconferencing :-)
So my small group enjoyed checking out the various features. We took turns in front of the camera — up to three of us at a time. Soon we were all involved, taking turns using the presentation screen, whiteboard, chat, and video player.
And we took turns leading the meeting. I noticed that my clients were just as camera-shy as I was. It’s only human. Gradually, we forgot our self-consciousness and just enjoyed ourselves.
Want to know the hardest part? You have to remember to click the “record” button. But I did it! And when I reviewed the recording afterward, I found I didn’t look nearly as awkward as I thought. And as the meeting progressed, I relaxed more and more.
Now I use it for everything. I can:
Invite followers to an online demo to introduce my business. Deliver a sales talk to a small (or not-so-small) group of prospects. Train new clients to use products I sell. Collaborate on marketing projects with online partners. Offer free webinar recordings to build interest. Package in-depth webinars into educational courses. Videoconferencing is now an important part of my marketing and sales funnel. Prospecting is easier and more enjoyable. Online sales presentations help me close more sales. Training classes are easier on everybody’s schedule.
I’m able to do more business in less time, thanks to videoconferencing.

5. GetResponse List Building Program
Have you ever wondered how to boost your email list? It had been my major concern in recent months until I came across the GetResponse List Building Program — a complete email marketing course. It helps me increase my email list every day, which has a direct impact on my sales.
I wouldn’t bother you if this weren’t the most effective list-building course I’ve ever tried. And believe me — I’ve tried many. I did my research to find out whether it was just another online tutorial, and I can truly say that GetResponse is the first email marketing company to provide real know-how about boosting email lists.
The course covers everything you need in order to grow a list by up to 10,000 subscribers in as little as 90 days. The best part is that the program is available free to GetResponse customers, even free-trial accounts that have less than 10,000 subscribers.
You can choose from two program schedules: the 90-day fast-track program or the 180-day standard program. I chose the 90-day course because I am focused on fast results. It takes three hours per day, but it is definitely worth it. If your schedule is too busy, try the 180-day standard program.
Each session consists of a video tutorial, presentation, and article. The lessons are available every 24 hours except the weekends, so you aren’t overloaded with materials.
Here’s the fun part. After successfully completing the course, you receive a GetResponse University Certificate of Performance, which is a great thing to add to your resume.
More details about the course can be found here:
