I’ve had a surprisingly good response to my latest email campaign. I was sent an offer by an email marketing company that I’ve used before, the offer was to send an email to 500 names for 20 quid. I haven’t really used them for a long time simply because the response to lottery related emails is so poor but I thought I would use my new mini-autoresponder page advertising a “Save Your Driving Licence” ebook which explains all the things you need to do if you’re caught speeding on UK roads.

Nearly 50% of the adult population of the UK play the lottery so if I could appeal to UK residents it’s a fair chance that 1 out of every 2 of them will be a qualified prospect for my lottery business. Who wouldn’t want to get off a speeding ticket?

So I sent out 500 emails to UK males and the past 2 days have seen my inbox go crazy with “a subscriber has joined…” messages!

This has been the best response to any email I’ve sent with this company, after just 2 days the click through rate has been over 40% and out of those more than 80% have entered their details to receive the ebook (and a couple other emails afterwards prompting them to watch the player movie or enter a free competition).

Over the next couple of weeks I will be watching my prospects page very closely and see how many click through to enter the free competition. If enough go in there I think I will do a MAJOR email campaign!

I’ve spent the day updating The Empire Group portal so it is a lot more easier to navigate and choose the correct page. I’ve added some prospecting page templates too which I’m quite proud of. It’s all coming together nicely and my knowledge of PHP has really grown over the past two weeks.

I’ve added a few monetizers to the site too so I can get some pennies for the hosting costs, there is now an option to buy targeted traffic which I set at a really low price. There’s mention of a special limited time offer for traffic orders over 3000 hits written on the front page which will mean I don’t make any money on those orders but, at least it gives people the chance to try out some traffic without paying through the nose and if they have a good experience with it then I’m sure they’ll come back and get some more when they see how much more it costs elsewhere for the same thing.

The affiliate hosting and domains pages are also up and running on automatic so once someone orders hosting or domains and pay they can use it straight away without me having to log in and set them up manually. sweet!!

Ooooh, I’m like a totally online d00d who r0x teh awesomes!

What do you think? I feel the prices are very reasonable compared to a lot of other hosting companies who charge monthly and have limited the amount of features on their low end packages.

** Paid Review **

I came across an article while I was doing my “how to make some pennies” research and it explained about a new site called ReviewMe. They have earmarked 25,000 dollars to pay for bloggers to review their service. For this article I will get 30 of those 25,000!

It’s a nice concept and one I’m sure bloggers with a high PR will like, the bigger your PR - the bigger the offer for payment (among other things like Alexa ranking and feed subscribers). Why are they doing this? well, it’s all to do with the amount of advertising and advertising opportunities on the net. Too much is out there and people either skim past known ad content or web owners will put too much generic advertising on their site, it may not have anything to do with their content so it hurts the advertiser AND the web owner too.

By offering people the chance to write reviews on their blog, they are getting people that are genuinely interested in writing about that product and do it in a non-addy way such as a blog post or personal review.

I had a check through to see if I could buy some advertising and there are some opportunities for good exposure with decent sites, it might even be worth 40 dollars to have a decent review of my business with links to it’s associated pages like the videos page or affiliate ecourse, of course, the review doesn’t have to be favourable so you’d have to be sure you have a good thing to advertise and hope you get a decent open minded reviewer!

It’s still in it’s early stages but as long as they get their ranking structure sorted and advertisers get a good response then I’m sure it will be a site to watch out for and go back to again and again. If I can get some decent reviews on here or my other high PR sites then I might be able to make an extra few hundred dollars a month.

It can’t be bad earning between 20 and 200 dollars per review submitted, even if it’s one a month. It all goes into the pot!
