!Starting My List!
Hey everyone it is Jason. I can finally say I am not a total n00b as I have gotten all my sites up on google in the top positions that I said I would promote: ALB, OAC, GN. I know its alot but as my subject says I need to build my list. So I decided to do what I could which was a lot to my surprise and hope that I can generate some leads. Do any of you have some pointers for going about starting your list. Everything is set up, clickbank hop, autoresponder optins, web forms, messages and broadcasts. Thank you for your support and motivation for all us beginners getting started in IM.

Re: !Starting My List!
HI Jason,
I am in the same position.
My trigger finger is poised, all sites ready, autoresponders and forms all set up and eager for some action.
Then everything seems to go flat as i am not getting anyone to opt in so not getting
any list to use my autoresponder on.
This is one aspect i am finding very frustrating and i am looking to start using ALB to help this improve
but it seems to me that without a list, your stuck, as most of the poeple who guys like me and you are competing against (the big names here etc) have huge lists which completely negate our efforts
at getting on the front page of google for ANYTHING that we are competing with these dudes for.
But i guess everyone started with 0 list so lets just see what happens and keep toiling my friend
we WILL get there :)

Re: !Starting My List!
Hey Mark thanks for the inspiration. It is pretty disheartening after you spend all the time learning everything, testing it out a little trial and error, and you finally get it all out there for people to go to and all you can do is wait. So wait I shall and just tweak things and update I guess. But I hear ya these guys do have the advantage but like you said they started with 0. It would be interesting to hear their stories about starting things don't you think?

Re: !Starting My List!
Hey Jason,
Yeah i am eager to hear how they managed to build up those 10,000 + Lists :O
Just any list will do, i actually considered buying a list yesterday just to get me started but then th emisses talked me out of it as those lists are totally untargeted and probably just get you thought of as a spammer.
Come on doodes give us your insight to the List building secrets ;)
If you havent already seen Craig Becktas "Secret Affiliate Code" you hsould check it out, he says he didnt have a list and still managed huge profits in a month, i am currently utilising the SAC word for word and step by step on ALB to see what happens,
keep up the struggle brother, lets get there then maybe we could even swap our N00B LISTS - then the BIG BOYS would be in trouble ;) ;)

Re: !Starting My List!
ANY and ALL advice is welcome guys/gals. That sounds great Mark. I actually was introduced here by Craig
and his SAC. Big ups to him he is such a class act and he is making a world of a difference and putting his
name on the map. I'm also implementing what Craig has outlined for ALB, OAC, and GN. I've also coupled
that with PPC. So we shall see indeed Mark and I will take you up on swapping our N00B lists haha.

Re: !Starting My List!
Yeah Craigs SAC seems to be the ticket if you dont have a List.
I tried PPC once, lost more than i made so i shy away from it now :(
I was going to do GN (its going to be huge) but they seem to be a little
slow (compared to ALB) with things like Review copy etc for putting on Squidoos
and as i am rubbish at writing original articles i wil ljust concentrate on ALB now i think
and see how that goes.

Re: !Starting My List!
Yeah I know what you mean about the PPC. I am using Craigs advice about the targeted keywords. And
since I have two products launching within the next couple days that I'm promoting it will be a good test run.
But check out my site for GN.

Re: !Starting My List!
HI Jason,
I am IMPRESSED with your site, and you may very well have just answered
the question i just posted :O
Do you find that having your own domain name with the squeeze pages as
subdomains works well? It looks great and is exactly what i have been thinking about.
BTW is that your VOICE on those pages? If so where did you learn to talk
like a Marketing Guru :P:P:P

Re: !Starting My List!
Hi Guys,
My name is Tarun Aka Carson.
I started my list building efforts from January, 08 and by now i have list of over 2500 double opt in members.
My fist list building process was started using ebay. I simply use those $0.01 auctions to build my list (And yes, it really worked), unfortunately ebay banned the selling of digital products and this broke my continuous flow of '20-30' leads per day. Even today i manage to get 30-40 targeted leads everyday using the power of Mike's ListDotCom. Initially, i never believed in this list building process as i was those, looking for 'Make $1000 everyday' scams, later this year i understood the importance of list. i read some where 'Money is in the List' and now i really understood the meaning of this priceless phrase. From my experience i can say that you will get those 'dis-hearten' moments in your list building efforts but if you overcome it and continued your 'List Building' offer, you will really enjoy long lasting income :)
Sorry for 'errors' as my native language is not English :)
Thanks

Re: !Starting My List!
Hi Everyone,
I started in IM last July without a list.
It is easier to make money with a list
that is for sure.
But it is also possible to make money without
one as well.
If you have top spots in Google you will receive traffic.
List building takes time and you also have to
nurture it as well.
Don't become discouraged and give up to easily.
Practice the basics and make adjustments along the way.
If you stick it out you will be rewarded.
Great squeeze page BTW I like the audio track.
Also, don't forget that you can apply the same traffic
principles to other niches as well.
Craig
