Sorry to hear that you were not feeling well the other day, hope you are better now. Probably working too hard!!

Look forward to discussing this with you in the near future, in the mean time don’t work yourself into the ground.

WOW!!! what an invitation I would love to get involved in something like this.

What I do know is that a lot is discussed about list building and “Yes” I believe anyone can start to build a list from many sources….whether that be through giveaways, selling resell rights or PLR, offering freebies through squeeze pages and the list goes on and on……

However, having a list at any size is one thing….making it into an asset that helps your subscribers and makes you money is another skill set….and one that if you get it wrong is hard to recover from.

So “yes” it might not be the “all dazzling subject matter” that many people get caught up in, but whats for sure if you don’t get this right, that list is worthless!!

I know you have projects coming up all the time, but at a time convenient to you maybe we could discuss this in a little more detail.

My self esteem just hit the roof!!!

Thanks Liz

I try with each and every email I send out to have a bit of both. I want those who don’t have the money to buy product X to be able to learn something too. I talk to my list as if they are one person. However this one person has many different personalities, learning levels, and so much more.

List building is separate from list marketing. List marketing takes time to learn. I need to do a list marketing course. People wouldn’t buy it because it’s a “need” thing and not a shiny make a million thing, but it would be a great product. Maybe you should interview list marketing out of me Chris and we do a product together.

Great Business model, to this point I have only used a blog as a marketing hub, which is fine I suppose?

However in your video you illustrate the need to build a blog around one niche and everything is to one end, monetization in whatever way that comes.

From a personal point of view I think I could now replicate the idea of building the blog and I must thank you for the fantastic info that allows me that opportunity!

With regards to list building, yes I’m with you…..but here again from personal experience I know some of the pitfalls and this is what probably scares people.

For instance….that first message is so important, and then the balance between info and promotional messages is also key.

Looking back I bought a product from a really well known marketer (Name not mentioned), where there was no relationship built just about 3 to 4 promo messages each and every day.

How I kept with it I’m not sure but I know he now has a list running into many thousands, he got away with that, many would not and probably would never get a sale from their list…..hence the list building is one thing and the realtionship and trust is another.

For those who decide to go with your blogging business solution Liz, do you also help with the follow up messages?

Kind Regards

All of my traffic generation is centered around lead generation. All leads are taken to somewhere that they can optin.

Everyone should do this!

The way conversion works on the internet (it sucks by any offline standard) you could spend thousands building a business and thousands more on copyrighting and still only convert 1 percent of your visitors into customers. A list allows you to build the trust necessary to turn more prospects into buyers.

I know that if I DON’T send any emails in a month – my sales almost always drop drastically – usually lower than a living wage. If I do send emails, I do very well, every month without exception. Half the time people don’t even buy what I directly promote – they buy something else that I sell, but they buy because I made myself visible via emailing them. Marketing to a well cultivated list is the best traffic any business will ever have
