Email marketing used to be so damn easy about a decade ago, that it actually upsets me from time to time.

Buying leads was cheap as shit, there was no “double opt-in” law, everyone opened your emails, and click through rates were so obnoxious, it was like you had your own personal ATM machine.

Anytime you wanted or needed cash, you sent out an email promo in the morning and by the time the sun had set, you had quite a considerable sum of currency in your account.

Best of all you didn’t even have to be a genius to do it, almost any email that looked half-way legible would be opened and read.

But today, as you and I both know, things are very different.

Everyone from your mother to your dog gets ass-pounded by email promos all day long. But that’s the interesting thing about it — all of the top marketers are still using email in their business. And they're doing it for one very good reason…

It Fucking Works!

Email marketing sells shit, and that’s just the bottom line.

However, to sell shit, you need to make sure that those that signed up to receive your spam… (ok fine, “newsletter”) actually validate their actions so they can see your damn email.

That’s the hard part.

See, getting leads is still relatively easy. You just need two things:

1. Traffic
2. A Mouth-Watering Bribe

Trust me, no matter what the other “experts” say, when those two conditions are met, people will throw their email addresses directly at their screens trying to get what you’re offering.

But then something awful happens — they end up on that dreaded confirmation page, and that’s where you lose them!

And not just a few, but a crap load.

You don't have to be a genius to figure out that if you paid good money to get 5000 opt-ins, but only had a 50% that confirmed, then your REAL cost of acquisition just doubled.

Ouch!

But fear not, because I’m about to show you the two simple little hacks I used on my “Confirmation Page” that has lead to 90% of the people actually confirming.

This has nearly doubled my revenue without any extra traffic, paid promotions or product launches.

Hack #1: Show Them The Way

A brilliant marketer once told me the following:

“Dude, don’t just tell people how to make a delicious meal. Instead, buy the ingredients, cook it, pre-chew it and then feed it to them using a golden spoon. Hell, if you can figure out how to digest and then shit it out for them the next day, you’ll be absolutely fucking rich!”

And he was right.

So unlike most lame confirmation pages that say, “hey if you want my crappy stuff, go to your inbox and click this link I sent you. Then you’ll have to wait 5 minutes of your life waiting for another email after which you can download my crap. Thanks!” (Paraphrasing, of course)

I on the other hand not only make them read what to do, but actually show them how to make sure their Spam folder never lays a hand on my emails.

I do this by using a short animation. CLICK HERE to watch an example.

Hack #2: Provide The N.L.S

I’m absolutely baffled by the number of Confirmation pages that are not only sleep-inducing, but literally dead-ends that lead to nowhere.

You actually expect someone to close their tab, open their email application, find your email amongst the thousands of others (do they even know what title to look for?) and then click your link?

Hah! If you do, you deserve to be broke.

Instead, I provide the Next Logical Step — which is to take them to their email program. Yes you heard that right. A direct link to Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc.

They really have no other choice. They either head over to their inbox and confirm, or they leave and never return. Click Here to see one of my example pages and how I implement the NLS.

So there you have it, two easy methods that will boost the amount of confirmations you get. If you can improve your confirmation rate by just a few percent, I can virtually guarantee your sales will double or triple.

Try it — it works.

And do me a small favor. If you found these tips valuable, and believe they're worth their weight in gold, GO HERE to check out my best-selling Amazon fitness book.

Because what good is success, if your lifespan isn't long enough for you to enjoy its benefits? Furthermore, success is even better when you look hot. And I specialize in making people hot.

Bonus: Tools Of The Trade

For reading this far along, I’m going to tell you exactly how I created the .gif animation (P.S - it’s pronounced jiff and not gif — there’s no “gah” “ga” “guh” or any other weird sounds that are used, so please get that shit right. Don’t believe me? The original creator of the format said so himself)

Now that we got that out of the way, the first thing you’ll need is Camtasia. It does cost money, but download the free trial and you should be good to go.

Then, basically subscribe yourself to your email list using a back-up email address, and even if your email doesn't end up in spam, throw it in the folder. This is so you can record yourself “unspamming” yourself. Then record another clip of you adding that email to your contacts list.

Now throw these two things in the timeline, and click File > Produce Video As and you should see an option to convert to .gif somewhere. Be sure to select the looping option or it’ll only play once.

Save it, and you’re good to go.

You’re welcome.
