As the Internet is becoming more and more loaded with information, I
believe that in a few years Internet marketers will have a very difficult
job finding advertising places. Having your own list is crucial for
you to succeed online on the next few years.
Think about it for a second, if you’ll start building your list now, in two years you”ll be on the top of the mountain while all the others who didn’t took action are still down waving for you to help them. Again, having a list is the heart of any online business, but is it so easy to build a list?
Absolutely not!
To build a big list you have to work for months or even years. That’s
of course if you don’t have your own product. There are people who
come up with a successful product and they are able to build a big
list from other marketers who are promoting their product to make a
commission. If you don’t have a product than you have to advertise
anywhere you can to build a big list and guess what, advertising
costs money as you know.
The truth is I stumbled upon an automatic list building system that
can help you build a huge list in no time. You can check it out here:
I wanted to make sure that this system can really build a list
automatically, so I contacted Chris Freville and and I told him that
I’m looking for a system like this to help my subscribers with their
list building, after checking it out I must say that I’m really
excited for you. I wish I had this tool when I just started my list
building.
That system rocks!
You can build a huge list with that system in no time. Don’t you
ever forget that the money is in the list, and it’s crucial to build
a list if you want to be successful online.
This system can take you from a “trying to be a marketer” into a
real Internet marketer faster than any other system I know.

As I already told you, you must have your own list of subscribers who want to hear your tips and suggestions. Before you can even think of building a list, you must first create a calling card. Remember that your calling card is going to be the first impression on your readers, so make sure to create something unique.
In case you don’t know English or you just don’t know how to write,
you can always find PLR (private label rights = products that you get the rights to sell them as you like) product to use, but you’ll have to use only the basis of those products. You can’t use some garbage as your calling card because people will immediately unsubscribe from your list if they see you gave them junk to get their email address.
Using a PLR product is very risky but can be done smartly. If you are going to use a PLR product than consider to hire someone to change it for you, or do it yourself. When you edit a PLR product you must change all the titles to another font, and change the writing to a more personal writing. I really recommend you to post a job at elance.com about your PLR product if you don’t know how to do it. I want you to succeed so don’t be foolish. Sometimes it’s better to pay someone a few bucks and get some quality product so you could offer your subscribers.
Hey, I expanded this more than I thought.
So how exactly you can create a short report for your subscribers
from scratch?
Here is the formula that I came up with.
Open Microsoft Word and create a new page. This is the time to decide
what is going to be the topic of your report. a good titles for free
reports can be something like this:
“How to drive thousands of visitors to your website in 24 hours”
“How to train your dog to jump 2M high in 1 hour”
“How to make your sheep turn into a wolf in 3 minutes”
I’m just kidding with the last one, so don’t try to go out with such
a report. OK now, so you understand what is a good title for your
report. You must give an attracting title so that people will be
thirsty to get your information. Don’t you ever try to decide on a
title that you don’t know how to fulfill, it will make your report
creation 3 days instead of 2 hours. You need to think about a title
that is attractive for people, but at the same time is reasonable
for them and for you.
If you can’t come up with ideas for your report, browse the web to
find what people want to know about, than start learning about it
for a few hours, and when you’re feeling that you know enough, simply
package all the information into one place, and it’s…your report!
So after you’ve decided on your title, simply create it big enough
for the title of your report. Now is the time to create your chapters
names. Go down a few lines and start creating chapters as bullet
points. When you browse the web to learn about your topic, take notes
and they should be your chapter names. From now everything should
flow for you. Go to a chapter and simply start writing about it. If
you’re having troubles you can always visit the website that gave
you the inspiration and learn more about the specific chapter.
When you’re finished, don’t forget to include your website’s name,
or an affiliate offer of your choice, but never, and I mean never
use affiliate links inside your free report. It will make you a bad
name and will piss off your reader. You must understand that your
reader is a human, and always try to think what you would like or
dislike in a report you got for free.
If you have any questions you can comment down here.

As I already told you, making money online is really easy if you know how to treat your marketing. One of the best tools to make money online is by having your own list of subscribers who are interested to know new things you find, and to know how to work better with their business by following your footprints.
When you start your own blog, you have the option to add a feed subscription so that people can register and get your blog feeds by email. lots of people do subscribe to those feeds because they don’t want to take the risk and miss one of your posts, or lessons if you will. The nice thing about the feeds subscriptions is that it’s a free service given by Google. Instead of wasting your money on an autoresponder account from Aweber, you can simply capture people’s emails by Feedburner.
OK, so after you have your blog setup and everything is working, you love the new theme you just installed, and you started to get traffic here and there, how you capture as much names as you can to build your list?
1. Visible Subscription Box – Make sure your subscription box stands in a place where any visitor can see it. You subscription box MUST have a shiny color, or at least a color that will grab the visitors eyes as much as you can. Another good tip is to make you optin box big enough for people to see. Not only young people are browsing the web, so be sure to take care of the people who need big things to see better. Don’t do it to big to scare people, just be reasonable.
2. Call To Action – Your RSS optin box should call to action. Make sure to explain how they could optin and where they need to add their details. Not everyone knows how to fill in their details and sometimes they really want to get your emails, but they simply don’t know how to do it. Not all the people are techi.
3. Describe The Benefits – Whenever you offer something to someone, no matter if it’s free or paid, you need to explain what’s in it for him. Don’t just say here’s my optin box and you should subscribe to it because I want to get a few bucks out of you, you have to show him the benefits that he will get from bieng in your list. Tell him that he will get a lot of useful tips, free gifts, and professional advice from you. Just by explaining what’s in it for them you’ll be able to see a high conversion rate for your subscriptions.
As you can see, there are minor things who can make a big change. You always need to test and track your conversions and see if you can make them even better. Having a subscription box is not enough to get people’s attention. If you want to have as much subscribers as you can you need to let them know how they can benefit from what you are offering to them. An email address is a precios thing today, people are not giving it just like that because they are afraid of spam. If they don’t know you enough they will hesitate to give you their personal information, and that’s why you have to work on their attention and feelings when you want something from them.
“There is no stupid question, there are stupid people who are afraid to ask simple questions”, if you have anything to ask just do so.
As always, blogging for your success,

We all know that Twitter is a traffic machine who can drive unbelievable amount of traffic to a any website you own or even a blog. The problem is not all of us know how to get that traffic rain from Twitter, so here is a simple guide to help you get traffic to any offer or website you own.
1. Register with Twitter for a new account. When you choose a username try to find a brand that will symbolize you or your business.
2. Start following as much people as you can that are related to your niche.
3. Follow back the people who follow you.
4. When you have a decent amount of people who follow you, you can start sending small advertisements to them. Be sure to do it in a nice way and not give them junk. If you really want to make money you have to be smart, and you have to play by the rules. Don’t try to do sully things that can get your account closed. Make your money ethically and you’ll be able to make money online from twitter.
Have you ever heard of Bill Crosby?
Bill is a professional twitter user who knows how to use twitter to drive an insane amount of traffic to his website, and to make people follow him on autopilot. Bill has generated 16,000 followers in 90 days on autopilot. The system he invented is called “the twitter traffic machine” and boy that system rocks!
I used it personally just to check it out, and the results were amazing. If you want to drive hordes of traffic to any affiliate offer you have or an online business, I really recommend you to watch this video, it’s crazy!
The Twitter Traffic Machine Video
In this video you’ll be able to see the proof of bill Crosby where he got all those followers in that short amount of time. I hope you understand the meaning of so much followers in your twitter account. Twitter lets you kind of broadcast to the people who are in your twitter network just about any message you want to send them. It’s like having a list of subscribers from your website of about 16,000 people. Can you imagine how much money you can make with that amount of people if you send them one of your offers.
Another cool thing about his system is that it’s working on autopilot. You don’t need to do a thing after you set everything up. This is a set and forget system that can build you a list faster than any other way to build a list of subscribers. You have to understand that building a list is very expensive. I’ve spent thousands of dollars to build the list I have now. I spent on Adwords, on banners in other websites, advertising on ezine’s and a lot more. That system made me a little angry, because I could save all the money I spent on advertising if I only had a system like this one back then.

You probably know what is a traffic exchange network. If you don’t know than don’t worry, I know you’re a newbie
Traffic exchange network is basically a place where people can surf other people’s websites, and for every website they visit they get someone to visit their site. There are networks who give 2 visits to your website for every website you visit. Making money online from those network is not so easy so don’t freak out. usually the people who use those services are using a software that surf the websites for them, but what they forget is that not only they use it, so the visits to their site is made by a software too
While it’s not easy to make money from this kind of traffic, there is still one way you can monitize them. What you need to do is to setup an opt-in page with a free gift in the making money online niche. When the people who do browse the websites they are given from the network (not all know that you can use a software to automate the proccess) you’ll be able to capture a few people to your list every day, and you’ll be able to contact them after that with some free content, gifts, and a few affiliate products that you are promoting.
The problem with those people is that most of them are freebies seekers and it’s very hard to get some money out of them. You need to be very talented and smart to make some money from this kind of traffic, but again, if you have the time to try and make split tests to see what’s working and what deosn’t work than you should be able to see a few sales a month. Don’t expect to make thousnads from this method, but you can use it as one of your tools.
When you go to sleep at night you can simply leave the computer running with a software that visits the websites of the people in the network. In fact, you can use a few networks at a time and by doing that you’ll triple your visits.
As a clickbank publisher of a few products, I can tell you that people who sent me this kind of traffic made about one sale for every 1500 visitors they have sent to the product. If 1500 looks like a lot to you than think again, you can get 1500 visits or credits if you will in one night of browsing the networks or by letting the software do it for you.
One important thing to remember is that I don’t believe you are allowed to use a software to browse the websites, so be sure to read the rules before you do any move. If you want to support those networks, to make money, and let other people make money, simply visit the website yourself and don’t use any kind of software to automate the proccess.
If you have any question feel free to ask.

Most of the internet marketers are doing the same old mistake of sending their ppc ads straight into the merchant website. I don’t see a mistake that can be bigger than this for an online business. If you are already spending money on ppc, why you are not building a list at the same time?
You need to use your hard earned money and squeeze it as much as you can. When you are sending them directly to the merchant site you are loosing money here!
You need to have a connecting landing page if you want to use your money as you should be. You have to setup a simple opt-in landing page for people who click on your ad so that you don’t lose the visitor right after he left the publisher website. You can send email promotions to him even after he left and squeeze the sale. Do you know that 95% of the population will never buy on the first visit of a sales page?
Based on that you should understand that you just can’t waste your money just like that, a true marketer will never leave a prospect before he purchased a product.
Whenever you are thinking to start a new campaign, you should always build a landing page with an opt-in box for people to subscribe to your list. Your thank you page should lead to the publisher website, and if the visitor didn’t made a purchase, you still have the chance to make a sale afterwords.
Not only that. When you have a good and relevant landing page for your adwords campaign, Google will actually lower your cost per click (CPC) and you’ll be able to be higher in the sponsored results and pay less than the others. This is the secret that the guru’s are not telling you about, so be sure to use it as fast as you can.
Until the next post,

If you have been online for some time now, you should know what is a JV offer. If you still don’t know what a JV means than this will explain you in short what it is.
When people are making money online and building a list of subscribers, they often want to gather powers and work with each other to maximize the profits they can get from each others list. Let’s say that Joe has a list of 5,000 readers for his newsletter and he wants to expand it even more. In this case he will look for a partner that has a list of about the same size, and offer him to joint ventures and work together. If the partner will agree to work with Joe, they will swap a product ad for each of the lists they have. Joe will be able to send an offer to the partners list, and the partner will be able to send an offer to Joe’s list. That way people from each of them will subscribe to the others list, and they both have now a bigger list to send offers to.
In short, a JV means gathering the powers of two or more people for one target.
When someone comes out with a new product, he will look for people who can joint ventures with him and help him with his product launch. Joint ventures can be applied in many ways and not only with a list. As you can understand, a one man operation is always harder than gathering powers of a few people.
If you have any question about JV’s, feel free to comment and ask a question.

The truth is, it’s really easy. All you have to do is to open Microsoft Word and start writing something that you had an expirience with. If you don’t have what to write about your expirience than you can always find some PLR articles and combine them into an interesting report. Be sure to create something interesting for your subscribers. You have the first impression to catch your subscribers eyes and heart. If you do the first impression right, you’ll see that subscribers with you for years, so try to put all your efforts into your reports. If you don’t know how to write them, you can use some free content, but never, and I mean never copy!
You have to be unique infront of your subscribers if you want to make money from them. Also remember that you work once, and you have this report for life + your report can be with free giveaway rights so that people can give it away for free and you can build your list on autopilot. If this report will be all around, you want to create creditablity, so this report must be something original and cool.
If you have any question, feel free.

Have you heard that the money is in the list?
Well, that’s perfectly right. Having your own mailing list can determine if your online, or even offline business
is going to survive. Collecting your visitors details like their name and email address can
be very important for future sales and promotions. If you still don’t collect those details and adding leads to your business
than you are leaving money on the table. Lots of the webmaster and people who want to make money in affiliate marketing
don’t collect those details, and they can figure out why they are always behind those who do make money. You have to understand that
people are not making big amounts of money online without a list. You can make money without a list, but the big amount of money are in the list.
If you were to promote an affiliate product, no matter what product it is, you MUST have an opt-in page
to add leads to your business before you add a lead to the product publisher. That way you can be sure that you can
contact the prospect even after he leaves your website without buying. Researches has proved that a person will most likely not buy in his first visit
in your website. If you have his details and an autoresponder to send promotions to him than you have another chance to make the sale.
What I want you to take from this article, is that no matter what your business or website does, you must build your opt-in page, buy an autoresponder account
get your follow up’s ready, and everything will be automated. The hard work is only on the first step where you have to create all the work. But you can be sure that
your work will make you money, so why not?

There are lots of vendors who are placing and opt-in box on their website. There are cases that this is good for affiliates, and other cases that it can lower your sales. Here are the two ways that people use to opt-in people to their lists, and if it’s good for you or not.
Way #1 – Opt-in box as the front page people see when they get to the website.
As an affiliate, you are working hard to get traffic to your affiliate offer. Sometimes you work hours upon hours to get the traffic, and sometimes minutes. But this does not matter as an opt-in box like that can run away people from the vendor’s page and your sales will be very low. That’s while the vendor is building a huge list on your back. The truth is you don’t have to put your eyes on the vendor’s profit, but still, you should at least have the option to let the people you send to the vendor’s website to see the sales page. There are lot of people who don’t like to share their details all around, and because they must fill their details to get into the sales page, they wil close that page and never go back to it. Not to mention that if you are building a list before you send the traffic to the vendor’s website, and someone opt’s in to your list, he is then offered another opt-in page and in that case your sales will probably remain on a nice big zero.
Way #1 – Opt-in box as a pop-up on the sales page.
This is good for you as an affiliate. When someone you sent to the vendor’s website is not interested in buying the product right now, he has the opportunity to opt-in to the vendor’s list and get a free gift such as an ebook, a report, or something useful to him. If he did opted in to the list he will start getting an email sequence about the product, and as you can understand, if he buy’s after a few days than you still get your commission. The cookie from the vendor website will remain yours for 30 days, so no matter how he gets back to the product and purchase, you get the commission on that sale.
If you have questions I want to hear them, simply comment here and ask.
