Setting Up Your First Email Campaign With TrafficWave Autoresponder
Creating an autoreponder email series with TrafficWave involves 5 easy steps, which I will explain one by one below:
To get Started, Log in or join TrafficWave and click on "Autoresponder"
From the next page, to your left, Click on "Create New Campaign"
The next step is choose a nickname of your choice and verify it, this nickname will be part of your autoresponder email address and also use to identify that particular campaign from your TrafficWave back office.
Choose A Nickname and click "Verify My Nickname". Once you verify nickname you chose, you will get a message like the one below.
What's the use of this address above?
The address you see above that says "http://www.trafficwave.net/Icp/saintdollar/trafficwave' is the link you can give people for direct subscription to your list. However, it will be better to create an opt in form and squeeze pages in TrafficWave. I will cover the step to do this below.
If you are satisfy with the nickname you choose, Click "Move to Step 2" to continue
Next Step:
Create Your "Signature Token".
Here, data like your return your name, your return email address, website links and contact details are required. You can insert "token" in your emails, this is useful if your contact details changes later, it changes here automatically, it is also useful if you want somebody else to copy your letters. You will learn how to copy (retrieved published campaigns) later in this campaign.
The name you choose as your "Campaign Title" will be seen by anyone that wants to subscribe to your list, use a a catchy title here.
Move to next Step when you are done with this stage.
In CAN-SPAM Address, you will insert your contact address, this will be visible to anyone who subscribe to your list at the bottom of your letter, if you want to use the address in your TrafficWave profile, just tick the the box that says "Use the address from my TraffiWave.net Member Profile" and you can have that place filled with your member's profile automatically.
However, you can choose a different address if you are not comfortable giving your member's profile address.
Move to "Step 4"
Here you will now select the type of information you want to collect from your subscribers, First name and email address will already be ticked for you, if you want to add additional requirement for opting in to your list, you can tick the box you want to appear.
Tip: It is better to leave it at only "First Name" and "Email Address". This should make easier for your prospect to sign up without much confusion, You should also bear in mind that most people are not comfortable giving out too much information about themselves.
Move to "Step 5" when you are done
Tick the box "Send me an email when someone confirms their subscription to this campaign".
It is advisable to tick this box in order to know when someone has just subscribe to your lists.
Note: TrafficWave have double opt-in requirement, this means that somebody that subscribed to your list will still have to go and confirm the subscription from their email before they will show up in your list and begin to receive your email series.
If they subscribe to your list, TrafficWave will send them an email with a link to confirm their subscription, once they click on this link, you will get a notification and they will begin to receive your email series.
This can take a little bit time, some people prefer single opt-in for convenience, however, double opt-in will ensure that your message do not end up in spam folder, this is why TrafficWave have high deliverability rate.
Below this page, you will see a preview of confirmation message that TrafficWave will send to your subscriber, you can edit this message to your taste but do not add any kind of link to it or your message will be suspended.
Once you have edit your confirmation letter, in the next page agree to TrafficWave terms and conditions and click "Finish".
