2007 February

Reminder - Seminars will start at 8 pm sharp. They will go 30 minutes with a 15 minute Q & A afterwards. At 8:45 pm I will join the rebranders in the private room. You are welcome to stay and network within the room afterwards if you are not a rebrander.

If you wonder whether or not to take the time to attend check out what others have to say -

Thanks for all the help you’ve given me over the past few months. Without your help I wouldn’t be where I am today! Especially since you even ‘held my hand’ through a lot of confused problems I was having with setting up some webpages. You have the patience of a saint and you never made me feel “stupid”. Your frankness and bluntness are a welcome relief – I like to know the way it really is, without any hemming and hawing, and you’re the guy to go to! So I just wanted to say ‘thanks’ for putting me back on track and setting me straight!Thanks Mike

If you have other topics you would like to see added for these seminars feel free to leave them in the comments and I will add them to my list. Interactivity is one of the reasons I use this blog instead of the old static newsletter page.

Also while discussing the seminars I have started a Squidoo Lens on list building called Turbo Boost Your List. Stop by and check it out. If you are a Squidoo member feel free to rate it. By the way see if you can recognize the land mines built into it ;-). There are more than one there.

You got questions? Here’s some answers

This section will take the place of the article. Submit your question by clicking the survey questions below and I will answer them in this section.

My biggest concern is SPAM complaints. I’m really nrevous about sending emails because people forget that they ‘opted-in’ for something. So when I send an email from MY opt-in list, the person geting MY email yells ‘SPAM!’ and I GET THE blame for doing NOTHING WRONG. THIS is what has held me back from ‘moving on’. How do you SAFELY send emails from a list that has been built??

This is the major reason that you pay a good autoresponder service. They keep all the records of the optins for you. They deal with the various ISP’s when they complain about you. Most importantly they have the contacts at the various ISP’s to resolve any problems immediately.

There are some things that you pay experts for. If you need legal advice you pay a lawyer who has studies the area of law for his advice. For tax preparation again you pay a CPA who specializes in taxes. If you want to use a list you pay a good autoresponder service who specializes in getting your email delivered and keeping your list clean.

Just my opinion. Disagree? Leave a comment.

Are You Leaving Money on the Table?

OMC is a great educational resource, and anyone who wants to learn how to build a professional mailing list is welcome to use this service at no cost what-so-ever. But the real power of this system is the explosive viral potential of our rebrander option.

Remember, when you make the very wise decision to rebrand your copy of the Opt-in Master course, you’ll earn $27 every time you sell a rebrander package to another marketer. This payment will go directly into your paypal account. I never even touch these funds.

Plus you’ll be able to insert your own referral IDs right into your own copy of the Opt in Master Course before distributing it. So anyone you give the free course to will join our recommended programs list through your referral URLs!

There are currently 23 programs in the Opt in Master Course that YOU can earn viral traffic and affiliate commissions from. Even more great programs will be added over time.

And of course as a rebrander you’ll have access to six list-building splash pages and your own OMC sales page that sends prospects straight to your auto responder after they request your customized copy of this course.
Open up your copy of Opt in Master Course right now and click on the ‘Make Money w/this Book’ link to learn more about becoming a rebrander.

We have also added the special seminars just for rebranders to add even more value for our rebranders.

Which is better - give all info or send pitches to warm up your subscribers?

This is a much debated question. For me it is actually a combination of both. If you just send information your subscribers will expect only information and when you do send them something with a link they will get upset.

Now if you are sending a training email series on what ever topic they signed up for and add in a little ezine type ad at the end that works best for me. It also lets people know that you will be making recommendations to them in your series.

Example - You are sending an email that explains why you need your own web hosting and how to use the site to help your business. At the end you add an ad like this.

Looking for a first rate web host
I recommend and use ABC
http://whateverthedomainis.com

Try it but keep it low key in your initial warm up series.

How or where does a novice start?

The very first thing you need to do is decide what your business is. After you decide what your business is and where you are going then decide what your ideal customer is and what they would want.

Now you know what to offer that your ideal prospect would want. This is the step that most skip and then wonder why they are not having any success.

Bet you thought the first thing was to get an autoresponder and fill it didn’t you? Until you have a good idea of what you are planning to sell and who your potential customer is you are throwing darts blindfolded after being spun around. Not an easy way to hit the target is it?

I am sure if you are a regular reader here that you have seen me starting to use Squidoo lenses. The report that got me started is now available.

$7 Secrets Report

If you use short reports as part of your list building and marketing effort (and you should be) then you may want to look at this viral list building idea. I saw a lot of people emailing on it and if you can write a short report this is an absolute no brainer to use. The script works well and doesn’t need a data base so if you can use FTP and know a bit of HTML you can use this easily. Check it out.
