Always Be List Building!

As most of you may well know, we’ve just wrapped up the official launch at ListBuilding.com and we’re in the thick of helping those fortunate enough to have made it into the List Pros Coaching Program. But don’t despair… I’ll still be here to help you out with list building tips and to share the latest website traffic secrets! I always have time for my loyal readers…

And this got me thinking… how is it that so many online businesses never seem to have enough time run their business efficiently? One of the most common concerns I hear of from my list building students is. “I just don’t have the time… I mean, there’s getting the site set up, generating traffic, converting the leads, following up…” and on and on. And I completely hear where you’re coming from. List building is really not that easy if you don’t have the right system in place, and generating website traffic can be quite a task… especially with how quickly methods that work come and go!

So what’s one to do?

One power tip I can give you is to recycle your work, and set up automatic processes to handle the majority of your list building and website traffic tasks. Of course there will always be those things that require special attention, but I would wager that you could automate better than 70% of your daily tasks, and what’s more important as far as this message, is that you can recycle an even higher percentage of your labors!

I’ve received a ton of great feedback from the Teleseminar Traffic call I recently released as a free replay, and if you haven’t had an opportunity to check it out, this may be your last chance. It’s not going to be available for much longer.

Learn how to turn one call into massive website traffic using my secret 7 step process.

It works, and your list building skills will never be the same!

What are you waiting for?

http://www.teleseminartraffic.com

So by the end of today, I’m figuring there are about 3.2 million methods available to get traffic to a website… almost, right?Many of my existing customers, and my coaching students already know that I’ve narrowed down that list to a very specific and targeted 17 that actually yield results… real and measurable results. These are “The Secret 17″ methods that I have used to build my business, and have shared with a few others to help build theirs!

Too many times I’ve heard stories from my students that they’ve spent months trying to make traffic methods work. Looking for even the smallest sign of increased website traffic… without success. After sitting down and checking out what it is they’re doing, 99% of the time the problem is in the program they’re trying to use… not in how they’re trying to use it!

I don’t want this to happen to you. Here’s a couple of very simple facts I want you to know:

1. Without traffic to your website, you will have very little success online
2. Getting traffic without a plan is like running around in the woods, with your hands out in front of you, blindfolded, trying to find your way back to the car… yikes!
3. Once you know how, where, when and why you should do things… it’s a piece of cake. Don’t get me wrong… you’ll still have to do the work, but you’ll actually see amazing results once you do!

I put together a special set of live calls for a very select group of my customers a short time ago to help them “deal” with the traffic issue. This program yielded some incredible results. This information is one of the core operating fundamentals of my business, and for a short while, I want you to have access to one of these calls. You can listen to the replay of the “Teleseminar Traffic” call that I did with Kyle Battis, that has shown massive traffic results for others, and will do the same for you!

There is a very specific Seven Step system that is outlined in the call that will have you being the envy of your competition as you’re bumping them down the rankings, and pulling in their customers! If you’re looking for more website traffic, then listen to this replay now… and take notes!

If you’re not a total newbie online and have been working toward getting your site or blog producing income, you may have already applied for an AdSense account, which is very, very cool. But…

You may also be new enough to have angered the ghods of Google and did something like putting your AdSense page into a traffic exchange.

Bad idea.

Google views that as soliciting clicks unnaturally, and for doing that, you could easily loose your AdSense account–for life!

Now, we all know that AdSense is a good money maker, if you’re Internet marketing in a great niche. So, what can you do, if you lose your AdSense account or if your application isn’t approved?

Simple…

Try something else that works just as well.

First, you have AdBrite at http://adbrite.com AdBrite’s ads look much like AdSense and accomplish the same purpose. The difference here is that you can sell ads directly to users, which is great.

Second, you have Magic Ad Tool, which also looks like AdSense, but is actually connected to products at ClickBank. You won’t get paid each time someone clicks on an ad, but you will get a commission from ClickBank each time someone buys a product from clicking on an ad on your site.

Third, there is CB Clicks. Same type of advertising, which also advertises ClickBank products.

And on and on…

There are plenty of places that you can use to replace that AdSense income you lost. However, just remember something… You don’t want to go afoul of the places you sign up with post-AdSense. Be sure to read the terms of service very carefully, and don’t do anything that they don’t like. It’s just that simple.

And oh, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

You’re getting ready to write an article, make a video or come up with a really cool information product, right? What’s the first question you should ask yourself? Think about it. Before you even start, what’s the first question you should ask yourself?Want to know?

The question is: “Who is my audience?”

No matter what it is you’re trying to accomplish, if you aren’t talking to your audience in the right way, you’re sunk.

For example, if you’re trying to sell high-level Internet marketing tactics to newbies, who barely know how to turn on a computer, what’s your chance of succeeding? Even if they buy, they’ll get into your article, video, product, etc. and be frustrated and discouraged. It will be too difficult for people just starting out.

On the other hand, if you use newbie-speak to a bunch of tech-heads, you’re going to seem like an idiot. Neither scenario will get you where you want to go.

Always match your message to the audience you’re targeting. To do anything less means marketing suicide.

However, we have packed a whole step-by-step home study course
into the program. You are going to learn how to build a list, write killer emails
drive instant traffic and get your sites to convert.

If you can follow simple instructions, then My First List 2.0 is going to
be your roadmap to success online in 2008

2. Bob - Great question (see above). Regardless of the cost, the biggest
question you should be asking yourself here is what would it be worth
to you to have a step-by-step program that delievers the results people
are talking about over at: http://www.MyFirstList.com/testimonial ?

What do you think?

3. Joe - My First List 2.0 is all about building killer squeeze pages,
getting traffic to your site and setting things up for beginners to start
their list-a-building. Though viral marketing is super-powerful, It is
more advanced than what we go into in this program.

For more hard-hitting viral marketing info I recommend http://www.ViralMarketingChemistrySet.com

4. Maxim, Great Question:

Hi Tellman,

Your new My First List v2.0 looks like its going to be an Awesome resource and provide significant value to all that get their hands on it. Is this going to be an entire strategic systematic process for building a significant sized list in all niche categories?

Mitch - you are going to be able to build a list in any niche area with this system. The best part is that you can build as big a list as you want using it - as long as you are willing to go through the perscribed motions to get the traffic to your site once it is set up right (don’t worry, we teach you how to get tons of traffic in it too!)

As a matter of fact, we teach you some of the easiest-to-apply traffic tactics out there! Get ready for the flood - it’s coming!
-TK

6. Hey Jim - to get a preview, the best thing you can do is read some of the comments here: http://www.MyFirstList.com/testimonial In the meantime, lets just say you are going to learn how to build a list FAST in any area, around any idea you can think of — and it is more step-by-step than anything out there.

7. Corey, The major differences between MFL 1.0 and 2.0 are:

a) we re-taught everyting in super easy to access and impliment video format

b) we updated technology, so your list will be much easier to build, and will get your emails through much better - every time!

c) we packed in over $1000 of real-value bonuses (sorry, i can’t tell you what they are yet)

d) we teach some new traffic techniques that i hadn’t tested during 1.0 - it is easier to build a profitable list now than it ever has been! enjoy!

Tim, you nailed it! It is all about building your list so you can hit that super-affiliate status ASAP. Nice ideas! I can’t wait for you to see it!

9) Hey Patrick, as stated above, yes - we go into massive detail about how to get people to your site in MFL v.2.0

Also, the major thing you need to know before you release a product, is build your list first! ask your list what they want to see in your product before you even create it - that will virtually ensure your success!

10) Nick, the major differences are outlined above - but viral or not, if your major front-end focus is list building then it almost doesnt matter if you actually go viral - if your list is building by leaps and bounds either way you win! - I hope this is helpful.

-TK

Hey! Glad you could make it.

Did you see all the crazy testimonials we have been
getting over at http://www.MyFirstList.com/testimonial ?

We have created My First List v.2.0 with you in mind,
so since you can’t buy it (yet) I wanted to do the next
best thing for you and answer any questions you have about
it before we release it to the public.

We did give v.2.0 to all of our My First List 1.0 students,
so they have had a chance to review it and tell us what they
thought. Check them out HERE for more info on that.

In the meantime, let me know:

Have you ever wondered how some of the big-name marketers made it big? I know that I sat and pondered over it before I started List Crusade, way back in 2004. I wanted people who could help me to build my list because I had none. So, I thought of the people who might have the biggest lists going, and I made friends with them.This isn’t rocket science.

You may think that the “big names” won’t want to talk to you, and you’re probably right. Unless you have a 10,000 person list, that’s probably true.

But there is a way that you can schmooze with and get to know the big names just a little better, and that’s by attending Internet marketing conferences.

When you share a meal with folks and exchange some jokes or just have a chat, they come to know you better and if they like you, may even take you under their wing. There’s nothing like meeting people face-to-face.

Conferences can often be expensive, and then, you have to factor in the transportation, meals, and place to stay. Though you think you can’t afford to go to a conference when you add it all up, you need to think of this…

Going to conferences and meeting people on a personal level can change your whole business around. You can really take things to the next level. And the more conferences you attend, the more times you’ll be seeing the same people and the closer your relationship will become.

When it comes right down to it, if you’re in business seriously, you really can’t afford not to find a conference that you can reasonably afford and go. Don’t think too much about it, just do it.

You’ll be amazed at the difference being at a conference will make.

So, you’re saying that you don’t know what your customers want?

How can you find out?

I have an answer, and this works for any Internet marketing niche..

What I want you to do is go to www.ASKDatabase.com, which is one of Alex Mandossian’s websites. When you go to www.ASKDatabase.com, in the upper right-hand corner, there’s a little Member Login button. If you have your username and password saved on your computer, or if you think you’re a member and you don’t have it saved, you can always do the Forgot Password link.

If you don’t end up having a password, then what I’d like you to do is sign up for the $1.00 trial. You get a 21-day, $1.00 trial for the ASK Database™. What I want you to do is actually very simple. I want you to use the templates that they give you, and I want you to run a survey.

What you can do is you put up a page on your website that is going to be on the thank-you page after people opt in, after they put in their name and their email address. What you’re going to say is, “What’s your single biggest question about [insert appropriate Internet marketing niche here]?”

Then what you’re going to do is the first email that goes out in your autoresponder, just have it be a few sentences long. Say, “Welcome to what ever your Internet marketing niche is,” or whatever your URL is. “To get started, I’d like to know what your biggest questions about [your Internet marketing niche here] are so I can help you the most. Simply click this link to let me know exactly what your questions are so I can answer them as quickly as possible,” or something like that. It could be golf, quilting, fishing, theater, whatever your niche is that’s what you’d tell them to ask you more about.

Then there’s a link back to your survey just in case they didn’t see it the first time they opted in, and now I might start up a simple pay-per-click campaign. Do not spend more money than you can afford to lose. If that’s $5.00 a day, it’s $5.00 a day, but don’t spend more money than you can afford to lose.

Bid on appropriate keywords for your niche and try to get five, 10, 50, or even 100 responses. You can actually drive those people straight to your survey. You don’t even need to worry about getting them to opt in because you’re looking more toward getting questions as quickly as possible.

Why do you want to do this?

The questions that people ask you are going to help make up your emails, and they’re going to help you make up your reports to give away. That’s good Internet marketing. Survey your customers so that you know what they want and then give it to them or sell it to them. That will surely take your Internet marketing business to the next level.
