Gosh, how many times do you see headlines like that.

But it actually can be true because a way does exist to pull in sales like that in one day and that's by emailing an offer to your list.

New people - if you're going to do one thing today to get started, get your ducks in line for starting to build your list.

Just do it, even if you don't get it right now. It's a no-brainer and I guarantee you'll be glad you did.

Instead of thanking me, give the same advice to someone else.

Cheers,

Neil

    Yes, the problem is that many people don't want to invest the time and effort that it requires to establish and maintain relationships. Building a list takes time...and, in some cases, for a new IM'er...ALOT of time.....and, many people get really turned off by the time element required.

        I have yet to see you post a positive thought since you've been here. You've called others rude, condescending, etc. Such a happy person you seem to be.

        Others seem to get what the OP is talking about and are having a discussion about it so if you're not satisified with what he posted, maybe you should go start a thread of your own to share your wisdom.

          With all due respect (sincerely): I figured that saying "Its a good idea to build a list" was equally as obvious, and could have been followed up with more information, otherwise there are 100 other threads here that will give you the whole plan of action.

          Im out before I piss somebody off with my opinion. Im sure the op with over 2k posts has posted some valuable info here... but to me this particualr post is like saying "Hey, you know that wooden table use to be a tree"?

            Well, maybe if you have been here longer you would see the countless threads that talk about needing 500, 1k, 2k by tomorrow.

            Maybe this is obvious for you but not to many people. You would be surprised at how many do no build a list.

            Really? It is like saying a "wooden table use to be a tree" when you have no clue about internet marketing?

            I would say that is a fail in comparison.

            Why don't you add to his post then and explain how people can build a list?

              Okay. Sorry Niel. You are right Thomas, perhaps this could get a persons curiosity up to learn more... I was a little disapointed to open a thread that says "Make 1k Today" though and find that a person was saying "dont worry about making money today, build a list instead"

              When you get a spam email title like that, and open it, its irritating to you when the content is not relevent to the implied subject matter... not calling this spam but... you shouldnt be surprised when people open it and are a little irritated by the manipulation.

              Edit: Even if its good content otherwise.

                John, you would kick me in the shins if you knew how much money I lost because I didn't build a list for a long time even though I was more experienced.

                I like to send emails to people saying they won the lottery and then hit them up with a discount for one of my products. Works every time. hehe Just a joke people, move along...

                  You're right about that. I have lost alot more money than I ever made, by not having a list.

                  Moving on.

        It doesn't mean a flying rat turd to me either way, but it would be mildly retarded to see a thread that at least has some value at it's core in the sense that people should be list building, turn into a 20 page thread about why the OP is a rotten no good SOB because he didn't provide the info that you felt he should of in his post.

        Right. Which the OP did when he gave the advice to start off building a list asap. That alone is insightful and important for many newbies (and even a lot of old-timers).

        Here's the thing...if you can add value to the thread, add it -- but it's not your place to tell other people what or how they should post. If you can do better, do better. Otherwise you're just making unnecessary noise.

          I used to use an auto-responder but got rid of it. So many times you sign up for a "newsletter" then you start getting 3-4 emails a day. Yeah, not thanks, spamming isn't a sport I want to be good at. There's much better ways to MMO. If you're all making money at it, hey, that's great! Whatever pays your bills right?

          When I see newsletter and I sign up for it, I am asking for a newsletter and updates, that's what I want, news and updates. If I signed up to receive offers then it's probably something I'm interested in.

                Timing is everything.

                Being in the right place at the right time, having the knowledge of how to set things up to monetize quickly on an opportunity, and having a bit of investment money to position yourself correctly.

                Sounds cryptic? hehehe

                We are constantly (or should be) preparing ourselves to the best of our abilities for the next big opportunity.

                Sometimes you know what you are looking for. Sometimes you are just walking along and you stumble and kick something and you stop and say "Hey, what's that?" and you bend down and it's a little piece of gold or lost jewelry. So, knowing what to do next and doing it with speed at the right time is what is going to make you some quick crazy fun money.

                You have to keep going out there and just putting yourself in front of different things constantly. If you keep changing what doesn't work, you will eventually come across what does.

                When you do find the right opportunity, if it is a valid one and you are prepared for it, you can have a long run with it.

      This is the most important part of list building. I like to think of it as team building, network building, club building. Anything but the term "list". This helps me mentally to always remember I am not just collecting nameless robots to sucker with the next scheme. I am building a network of like minded friends that I may be able to assist from time to time.

        Is it Nancy Drew or is it one of the Hardy Boys? Perhaps one of each? Since in some posts there is reference to a wife but in others the person is saying how they have PMS.

            Your signature earlier was a post on a blog called Carl's Tips. I thought you were perhaps a husband/wife team sharing one username as happens with other people.

            It was a joke. I didn't realize you were humor-challenged or I wouldn't have mentioned it.

                Meghan,
                You have such anger towards me.
                I doubt that Tina's angry with you at all. I, however, am mildly annoyed. Nearly every post you've made in this forum that I've seen has been snippy, condescending or downright rude. That's fine if there's a good reason, but there usually hasn't been.

                When someone displays that pattern consistently over time, they become a drag on the forum's more helpful participants. Take some time and think about that. And if you do it offline (I have no clue if that's the case), consider what impact that might have in other areas of your life.

                BTW, when you've given as much to the forum as Neil has, you've earned the right to make a "content slim" post on occasion. And the reminder does help some people.

                Yes, rank does bring some privileges. And that's earned by contribution over time.

    Just do it, even if you don't get it right now. It's a no-brainer and I guarantee you'll be glad you did.

    Instead of thanking me, give the same advice to someone else.

              Then maybe you should let it go? Apparently the mods weren't too happy with it either

              We already had some heated words in this thread. Let's not turn it into Pick on Meghan Day...lol.

            Or was the thread deleted because the members or mods agreed with her?

            Just because she adopts an abrasive tone doesn't mean she's always wrong...

              You're on the edge, junior.

              If it's the thread I'm thinking of, I saw that while browsing and deleted it myself. No-one "squealed" on you. (Having just looked, the warning, given in private, was about two separate threads, both of which I handled.)

              If you ever take the actions of a mod out on another member again, that will be the last post anyone sees from you in this place under the name you're using now.

              Think carefully before responding.

                First of all, I´m far away from a "junior".

                Is it not the whole purpose of participating in a forum to air out your opinions?
                You might agree or disagree with my points of views, but does that necessarily make them invalid? You´re obviously a moderator of this forum. But why can´t you accept the opinions of other people? Let´s have a discussion and share each others points of views. Yours is as valid as mine, or anybody else's. Why do you choose to not accept my point of views. A forum is intended to work as a platform for people to share their opinions, am I right or wrong?

                Best regards,

                Pat

          That doesn't make her a troll.

          Her asking for more info, in this thread, to help others build a list, tells me she is not a troll.

        Agreed. There's the sense of a good mind behind her posts. I really think it's a style thing. Her acceptance of the comments about that style by other members says a lot about her character. She'll learn, and probably end up being one of the more valuable members over time.

        The question is, will it stick, or will the style keep re-asserting itself? Only time will tell.

        I totally agree with you on this. List building should really be the number 1 priority online. The only way to earn at least $1k in a day is if we have a large customers base. Even if you are a freak in generating traffic, it's still hard to earn thousands of dollars in one day without a list.

        I definitely advice anyone, especially the newbies, to start building your list. Be very serious on it, because that's the only way to build a long-term business. If you don't have a list, you are not building a long-term, stable business.

        Happy list building everyone!

        There are many ways of making $1,000 or more in a day.

        If you have a good list then you should probably expect to make a whole lot more than that.

        Although really there's more to it than just the email you send out one day that brings in that income.

        Looking after your list and providing them with high quality content etc etc is what makes them responsive when you do make them an offer.

        And making sure that anything you promote is of genuine value to them helps too.


        It's the same with any other strategy that makes you good money in a short amount of time.

        There's some preparation and work involved.

        I've always loved the quote from Abraham Lincoln
        "I will prepare and my opportunity will come."

        That's so true.

        You have to be willing to put in the work beforehand so you can have $1,000+ days any time you want.

        In many cases you have to be willing to put in the work AFTER you've had your $1,000+ day to service the people who've purchased from you.

        Kindest regards,
        Andrew Cavanagh

      Pat, you need to get a clue about member moderation. One person can report a thread and guess what? Nothing happens. It takes at least 3 people to report for the thread to disappear and that's only if they are three very seasoned and trusted members. Most of the time it takes at least 5 people. So you cannot blame Meghan for your thread being deleted.

      Meghan, there is nothing wrong with being negative. Sometimes there really isn't much of a choice...lol. It's just that you've come across as kind of rude and condescending in several posts lately. I got snippy back with you because I just happened to spend way too much time on the forum this weekend and noticed them. Don't take it too personally.

      Yes, in my opinion, you could be a bit more gentle in your approach more often. But that doesn't mean never post a negative opinion, okay? Maybe you could work towards finding more of a balance? LOL.

      Re-read my PMs on those threads. Has nothing to do with opinions. And I warned you - privately - about arguing with me on them, did I not?

      Was I unclear? Or are you looking to become a martyr for a non-existent cause?
      Yours is as valid as mine, or anybody else's.
      Everyone has an equal right to their opinions. That does not mean that everyone's opinions are equally valid on every topic. Only a fool or a child believes they are.
      By the way, who are you, you don´t even have a picture of your self ...
      True. Unlike you, though, I've met a whole lot of the members in person, and am easily verifiable as the person behind the name. I'm also someone who actively encourages dissenting opinions, as long as they stay within the rules of the forum.

      I addressed something with you privately, and you chose to take it out on an uninvolved member publicly. We hear people all the time complaining about not getting warnings or explanations, and you've just demonstrated yet again why they're not a good idea.

      You are only useful as long as you provide an example of the mindset that leads to these problems. You get to decide when you stay or go away. By your own actions.

      What's in charge? Your ego or your self-interest?

          Actually, I'm going to be 52 this weekend, and my friends know that I'm one of the most patient and accommodating people you'll ever meet. Until you cross the wrong lines.

          We don't need you for dissenting points of view. We have plenty of grown-ups to supply those.

          I gave you the rope. You chose to tie a noose rather than a ladder. It's your neck, sir.

          That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen posted in this forum.

          Paul - did you really join this forum when you were 12? That's impressive.

            By his math, I'd have needed to have become a moderator here at or before I was 8 years old. A mere 30-ish years before the fact...

    You can build your list with the way you're creating your value online because as a result, there will always be email addresses captured the more they get enticed by your content. List building could really make this possible through high end commissions!

    My original post says what I wanted it to say, no more and no less.

    If one person has started building their list (or researching the process) because of this thread then I'm happy.

    Would I change my original post?

    No.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    Edit: And the thread title was designed to be a little ironic. Really!

    How could such an innocuous OP have resulted in one member getting a rapped knuckle and a temporary ban and another getting nuked? I never fail to be amazed at the stupidity of people.

    On the other hand, it has been an entertaining, if somewhat voyeuristic experience - and I'd like to thank Mr. Vikstrom for so selflessly putting himself forward to be today's motley fool. Pig's bladder anyone?

    Neil's original post may not have given a step-by-step guideline to starting your own list - goodness knows there are enough of those around and even a cursory search here would find some excellent advice - but it did serve as a very useful reminder to those who so often ask for help. Starting a list IS very sensible advice if it is heeded.

    However, what this thread does show (if you can read between the pointless and off-topic rants that have so amusingly characterized it) is that a lot of people don't want advice that points them in the right direction. No, helpful advice isn't helpful to them. What they always want is detail and more detail. All the better to pick holes in and over analyze.

    To those people I say this: stop looking for all the answers to be delivered to you on a plate. No matter how full the plate is, there will ALWAYS be something missing for you. Or something on it that is unpalateable to you.

    Another perfectly good potential warrior success story becomes an insignificant non variable... better luck under the next username... whoever you were. It's not nice to fool with mother nature (uh, that'd be Paul in the Zen Redneck Translation)... write that down its an "ancient chinese secret".

    The warrior forum is one of those things that you sometimes dont appreciate the value of till its gone... then you are like "OMG there isnt another place to turn, this place was IT"... everything else is sub par.

    What some fail to realize is that different folks need different kinds of direction and encouragement. One person may need a lot of details, while another simply needs a nudge in the right direction. Neil provided the nudge. If you need details, this isn't the only thread about list building, use the search feature. Seek and you shall find.

    This isn't a big secret, but if you haven't realized it before it could help: running your own business requires you to be a problem solver. Problem solvers don't wait for answers to come to them, they actively look for solutions.

    If you sit back waiting for all the answers your business isn't likely to go very far. Go find what you need. You have to invest in your education. Investing in yourself means more than spending money, it also means investing your time and energy.


    Side Note: Happy (upcoming) Birthday, Paul! Keep going, you might catch me yet.

    It's funny to me because I honestly think of internet marketing as list building. I guess it's because I was brought up with the guru method in my formative years. Squeeze page, sales page, teleseminar, big box course, seminars, repeat.

    I started building my first list in 2006 and at one point I had a list size of over 100,000 people. But when the company I worked with split up, so did the list.

    Now, it's back to rebuilding again....It's actually quite fun (if not laborious).

    And thousand dollar days are awesome. My best day was $10k, but that was for creating a sales letter and marketing system so that probably doesn't count!!
