    For a quick fix, I just learned about viralurl.com

    For $200 a year, you can send out emails to 3000 random members of their service, every three days I think it is. I haven't tried it yet, but I am definitely going to give it a go.

    Their website is absolutely hopeless, I tried to buy their service yesterday but failed, and am now waiting for the help desk to tell me how to do it. (But maybe that's just me.)

      I too wanted to try Viralurl, but can find no links that work to register and/or login to the account. Does anyone know if it even still exists?

      Thanks,

      Mayabrit

    1) No best way other then getting your form out there in all the places you can that means blog, squeeze page,landing page, your main site, facebook fan page, slide up ad on other sites etc.

    2) Any and all

    3) Your first subscriber You should have about 3 weeks to 2 months of an auto responder series set up that introduces yourself or your product and provides value the first 2 emails should not be selling anything other then what they joined your list for. Provide value let them get to know you a bit

    4) JV's if you can with your site will be the fastest way to get buyers from someone elses list to yours

    My landing page is a squeeze page too. It's not finished yet, but you can see it at Clean Green Energy World

    I have a Filipino fellow doing it for me, at a great price, because I know nothing about Wordpress and he does. No, I can't give you his contact details, because then that would make my job arrive slower than it is now.

    The best way is to start ASAP.

    2/. do i use a squeeze page or landing page
    A landing page is simply the place that you want visitors to "land" when they hit your site. So... use your squeeze page as a landing page.


    3/. How long should I build the list for before I monetise
    I have my lists set up to monetize immediately with back end offers hidden in great content.

    Obviously, you want to provide them with what they're looking for, and what you've promised, but monetize ASAP.

    Note that I didn't say to hard sell them and send out a bunch of spammy offers...

    4/. whats the best method for building a list

    Regards

    Paul
    I think you already asked that... but:

    Send traffic to a squeeze page, collect prospect info, email them.

    Traffic could be from a variety of places.

    Collecting their info generally requires some sort of freebie, so you might want to come up with something with a high perceived value to trade them for their contact info.


    Email them - set up autoresponses that follow up with them, make sure that these are general/universal to your niche, and evergreen. Also use broadcast messages to send out current event type emails (launches, promotions, etc.).

    A) Start building a list straight away.

    B) Both, but I would start out with a squeeze page until you create a product.

    C) Quality of your emails sells. Create great advice in your email and link to related products.

    D) Traffic to a squeeze page with a great offer.

    Regards

    one method I used in the past to build my list was from giving other marketers 100% profits on a $7 eBook report I wrote which pointed them back to my squeeze page. This actually works with any market and any niche. Also with this process you will need to contact other site owners with in your market and give them an email with the info. One of the ways I do this is below::

    ================================================== ===============
    To site owner,

    I have a very lucrative deal for you today. I recently wrote and published a book that relates to your market but does not conflict with your market. I have set it up so that you can receive 100% of the profits for this report. This book would sell fast on your thank you pages. Also if you would send an email to the members about this ebook you would still get 100% of the profits but I will also send out an email to my members about your product as a thank you.
    ================================================== ===============

    As you can see this is a win win situation for both parties at hand. If you pitch them something as simple as that 9 times out of ten they will take you up on that offer. You will need a tool to convert the links for the ones who take you up on the offer. Its been so long but i think the site is called 7dollartools.com and you need the paypal script tool. I am not certain if that is the site though but if you do a search for 7 dollar pay pal tool the site should come up at the top.

    I wish you the best of luck for your endeavor

      I have a question about 7dollartools.com. This will set up the entire affiliate system? I have never set up an affiliate system before but what exactly does this script do?

      Thanks,
      Brad
