Because building a list is something you should be doing from day one, I thought to myself, this takes it a step further. Puts a different spin on the forms of list building you can accomplish, and as we know the money is in the list.  I hope you gain as much as I have from Jimmy’s article and enjoy!

Content is king. It gets to wear the crown. And sit on the throne. And rule the world. When it comes to establishing credibility, gaining trust and producing sales, content is royalty. While I would never suggest abandoning the concept of delivering high quality content to your subscribers, there is another type of list composed of subscribers who couldn’t care less about content.

“What is this type of list?” you ask.

The “announcement list”. I’ve been teaching about the “announcement” list since at least 2002 (on record at an event). And, yet, it’s a widely untapped asset in most email marketing circles. The main reason is: nobody’s teaching it. And so, nobody knows anything about it, let alone how to effectively create one of these lists. So, we’re going to revisit it. Read the rest of this entry

I need to first thank all of you who are on my list for hangin in there with me while I addressed a few things that were your request and I think that your suggestions were justified and I am usually happy to do what is good for my readership.  Either later today or early tomorrow I will be back on a regular schedule of posting and try all I can to continue to provide you the information you have asked for.

Additionally coming in 2009, I am going to be offering up a lot of free reports that will add to your online business know how. Now this may sound fairly easy on the outset, but it isn’t. I have a lot of them that I will have to personally go through so that something that is worthless doesn’t slip through the cracks and end up on your hard drive. In other words it is on the time consuming side of things.

For those of you who are not on my list as of yet,  feel free to sign up to receive these reports. But for today I may leave some of you a bit angry. This article I am posting today was written by Marlon Sanders and I believe for some it might just the the kind of kick in the butt you need to get you going. As long as I have been at this, I too, have certainly heard the litany of excuses come down pike and blaming programs and others for their failure online. Read the rest of this entry

As many of you already know I have been re-evaluating some things since mid December and been working on giving you more of what you have requested.  And one of those request, was that I have one blog for you to go to.  Soooo!, At the unanimous request from my readership, I have decided to consolidate into one Blog. This will be the go to Blog. This is a bit of an undertaking but it will be accomplished. Access will be interrupted and probably quite a bit.

I am in hopes I do not run into to many snags! There will be some new features that I will have to work on that I haven’t used before and I think the shakeout time should happen quickly.

Thank you ahead of time for your patience, and I do believe this help all of you in your quest for ultimate success.

Again thank you for your patience!

When you don’t know the basics of what it takes to write a salespage that persuades the way it should, you are in essence throwing your money and your time away. There are 2 skills your are going to have to master in order to create a business that is going to produce a full time income. The first being generating traffic and the second is writing copy that converts. There isn’t a business online that is a success, that doesn’t do these 2 things very well.

Copy Writing and Your Headline

Typically when I sit to put together a sales page the very first thing I will do is my do diligence with research and go into my niche and see what others are writing about and look at the multitude of headlines that are out there. Whether it is with articles or sales pages and then I will write a minimum of approx. 25 headlines that I think perform well and then I begin to mix and match and try to come up with that one benefit in my head line that is going strike that cord with the customer that will make he or she click that link.

Creating your own Information products to sell online isn’t as difficult as one may think. However for many who are very new to the process it can more than just a little intimidating. Today we will talk about a couple things that may help you in your process and provide a couple resources that will definitely help and make things about as easy as it gets.

Firstly don’t get yourself all bogged down with the “oh my god how do I write this thing”. Hopefully your initial steps are done, and you have a hot niche and you already know that there are buyers and traffic that is willing to spend the money. I also have to assume that you are knowledgeable about what you are going to write about. Even if you aren’t as knowledgeable as you think you should be this is easily handled with a bit of research.

One thing most newbies face as a challenge is the process of product creation. The know how of the entire setup process to be able to bring something to market and to breath life into your idea.The information needed in product creation is not hard to find. With Google indexing millions of new pages daily it is pretty easy to find the information that will help you get off the ground.
