I Am Now A Believer In The LIST!

35 replies
I sent out my latest newsletter to my list of 51. I was pleased when someone not only opened my email but immediately bought one of my special offers. AND he bought from me once before. First repeat customer!

It's awesome! "Click Send, see sales come in."

That's why I love this business and as you can tell from my number of subscribers, I am just getting started!

    Ewen Chia launched a new program yesterday called The Optin Profits course. Only $77 for the first week, and an unbelievable system + other benefits. As he's the acknowledged master, it's probably a good idea to check it out.

    Now imagine if your list was 1000x the size. Then multiply all your numbers by 1000.

    Its not too good to be true...make it happen!

    I shouldn't disclose this but... I had my website BANNED from google and going from 500 to 0 to 50 visits a day.

    And, thanks to the LIST, I have continued to pull in 6 figures... regardless :-)

        Hi there,
        Don't mean to be off topic here..But i really like to know if anyone here knows of any good list building system or services out there for beginners?

        I am talking about services that will do solo ads, or listing building on auto-pilot kind of stuffs.

        thanks

    Do you all host your email lists yourselves or outsource list hosting to companies such as Aweber?

      Wow! Awesome! As long as we keep our faith, good things will come our way. But I'd suggest you sign up to AWeber asap. If you're really serious in building your online business, you should go ahead with it right from the start. It's only $19/month if your list is <500. That's a small operating expense compared to any of the costs involved in a traditional business.

      Cheers~

        That's a great suggestion, AWeber has been one of the best and most useful tools in my IM career.

          I have only been involved in IM for a short while but the power of the list is the most prominent sentiment coming from anyone who knows anything.

          After a few months of trying to get my head around all of the information that is both freely available and available in the warrior forum, it is the message that comes out loud and proud, build a list and that is now where all of my focus is going.

          As was mentioned earlier, there is nothing like getting the first sale from your list, other than getting several but even with a small list, an autoresponder is a must for both the work saved in being able to set up a series of follow ups, to the ease of use when mailing even to a small number of subscribers.

          I wish you luck in your list building efforts.

    Wow all from a list of 51 contacts is amazing. Really shows you the power that a list can have. Imagine if your list was bigger, and what the results would be.

      If you are serious about list building you have to get some service like Aweber or Traffic wave... It is way easier and more productive for you to use them with big lists.
      I think everybody has heard that "Money is in the list." but not everybody believes it.

      Take care

    I remember the first time I hit send and got a sale...it's like magic! I think it's that feeling that motivates most of us to hang in when times are tough.

  • Yip, the saying "The money is in the list" really is true.
    Don't forget once you have a decent size list you can that start having some leverage in that you can partner up with JV's and promote their products while they promote yours.

    The list truly is a powerful concept.

      Congratulations, Doyle!

      It's really good get results like that.

      I don't have a list yet, but I can see the possibilities of building one (s)

      Tell me, what kind of products are you offering?

      digital books, reports or physical goods?

    Congrats and Thanks for sharing Steve. This gives everyone hope, incentive, and motivation. Knowing that this is working for someone else really helps.

    I'm currently torn between Aweber and GetResponse, and looks like I'm probably going to go with Aweber.

    Again, Thanks for sharing.

    Good to know man, of course list is essential for anybody who wants to sell a product, and since newbies are much more than the experts, it's essentially free money
