Day 1

Subject: [firstname] Thanks for signing up

Dear [firstname],

Thank you for signing up to this short e-course on starting your own online business.  Over the few days I'm going to be sending you a lot of information.  Be sure to check your inbox every day and to mark my messages as “important”. You might also want to set some time aside every day to read my messages and act on the information they contain.

We're going to look at different online business models; we'll cover the different niches you can market to; we'll talk about how you set up your domain, hosting and website – plus a whole lot more.

Of course if you want to get a head start on all this, I've put together a no-holes barred Online BIZ Blueprint that takes you by the hand and leads you, step-by-step along the road to successfully starting and running your own online business.  You can find out more here [link to sales page].

I also want to congratulate you for taking the first step on the road to making your life better.  Take it from me, running your own online business beats the heck out of having a J-O-B (aka: a “just over broke”). Nothing beats being the master (or mistress) of your own destiny.

Now, I don't know you personally, so I don't know why you want to start an online business.  Maybe you're fed-up with your job. Maybe you want to go traveling. Maybe you're a student and want an income stream you can fit around your classes and lectures. Maybe you're retired and want to supplement your pension. Perhaps you're a stay at home mom who doesn't want to tie herself down to a job, or it could be you're just bored and looking for a new challenge.

There are as many reasons to start an online business as there are online businesses!

They all have one thing in common, though: A desire to make life better and achieve true financial freedom.

Sincerely,

[Your Name] 

PS. Tomorrow I'll talk about the different types of online business model that exist – and there's probably more than you think.  Be sure to check your inbox then.
