Future Seminars
I would like some feedback on the seminars. I am thinking of stopping the seminars for the free members and adding them into the seminars at Affiliate Funnel. Affiliate Funnel is the traffic generation portion of this course and the topics are alike.
This will allow me to focus Tuesday night on a seminar for upgraded members of both programs. Just a thought at this time but I would love your comments.
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.

Important Update
I have added Affiliate Funnel as the recommended traffic generation tool for Affiliate Funnel. Please check the link in your copy of Opt In Master Course to join under your sponsor if you have not already joined.
Rebranders make sure that you have added your user name in the rebrand area.

Question of the week
This section will take the place of the article. Here is the question that was asked.
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 a great question and the number one reason to use a quality autoresponder service.
If you have built your list using a quality auto responder then this is not an issue. They keep all the records of the opt in, the date and ip number. When someone does complain they have all the proof to show that the spam complaint is not valid.
Follow the rules and make sure that each email has an unsubscribe link and legitimate contact information and your auto responder service will deal with the complaint and you can sleep well at night.
This is the big reason why using a quality auto responder service like Email Aces or Aweber is so important. Not only will your delivery rate be better but your can have peace of mind too.
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.

Regarding SPAM, Mike is absolutely right, but I have a couple of things that I do in addition to what the autoresponder does. My autoresponder, getresponse, also puts in a permission reminder at the top of the email which gives the date that the subscriber subscribed. This is optional, you can use it or not.
I also use the following disclaimers, at the top

I was accused of SPAM once, and it was pretty scary actually. But luckily for me I had all this inplace and my host was able to clear it up in no time.
I hope this helps.
