Thanks for subscribing to the Opt in Master Course.
We will be publishing a weekly newsletter to keep you abreast of changes and aware of the seminars we are having. This week there are two seminars scheduled for OMC.
Seminar One: Tuesday Feb. 14th at 8 pm EST
Seminar Two: Friday Feb. 17th 6 am EST
Click here to access our conference room software and save it to your desktop. This way, when you get the reminder email on Tuesday, you can just open the icon from your desktop and come one in.
The topic of these seminars will be writing good headlines, and the speaker Tuesday will be Jennifer Herrold. A good headline is essential for getting your email or safelist email open, and Jennifer has written an ebook " Writing Effective Email Ad Copy" and has a great deal of knowledge in this area. Mike Paetzold will handle the Thursday morning one and do a review of Jenneifer's presentation and a quick review of setting up your auto responder. There will be an open Q and A session at the end of each presentation.
Be sure to clear your schedule for at least one of these conferences. And it would be very wise to drop your subscribers a note and urge them to join you there. A lot of knowledgeable people show up to these meetings, so
here is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and learn from people who are 'walking the walk' so to speak.

Don't Spam My Email
by Mike Paetzold
Understanding the difference between someone opting in to a list and just emailing someone seems to be a big problem for some people.
Now one of the downsides of having an email list is dealing with those that are either taught improperly or just have a lack of ethics. Nobody gets email from one of my lists that has not gone through a double opt in process. This means that they either sent an email or filled a form out to start the process. That is not enough though because that initial action generates a validation link back to their email. They must then click that link. Then and only then are they added to my mailing list.
Anyone on my list is always welcome to email me also. I love to hear from my subscribers. Absolutely adore getting input as to how my information is received. The problem comes in with reverse marketers. You know the ones that assume because they have jumped through the hoops to get the information you are presenting (remember the double opt in process) that you are just salivating to get all of their biz opp emails. Now come on cretin, if you were offering me something that I wanted I would have opted in for it.
Don't get me wrong that if a subscriber wants my opinion on a business opportunity or wants to do some type of joint venture I am more than happy to hear from them. Having a relationship with the members of my list is my ultimate goal.
Now the same things apply to those that reverse market FFA's or safelist emails. The rules are quite simple. If you post to my FFA I can send you one confirmation offer with my solicitation. Now if I send a second notice I am a spammer but likewise just because I send you an email because of something that you signed up for I haven't agreed to get you solicitation. Safelists the same thing. If you have a question about my offer feel free to contact me but not with your offer.
Well that is my rant on the cretins that attack my email box. Now this Old Bald Guy can relax and enjoy his evening before more email cretins come by.

There is a new splash page (#6) available in your affiliate area. It uses the technology of Splash Page Brander to customize it to each traffic exchange. Testing results have been very good with it.
Why Should You Become an Opt in Master Course Rebrander?
It's smart to ask 'why should I' before spending money on a product or service for your business. You need to be sure a monetary investment stands a reasonable chance of paying some type of dividend, right?
In general, there are two reasons I spend money on my business:
- To make more money in return for my investment.
- To gain access to something that allows me to improve the way I run my business.
(which typically results in my earning more money in the long run. Ironic, huh?)
When you make the very wise decision to rebrand your copy of the Opt-in Master course, you are getting the best of both worlds. Here's how.
You'll earn $27 every time you sell a rebrander package to another marketer. This payment will go directly into your paypal account. Mike and 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 five list-building splash pages and your own OMC sales page that sends prospects straight to your autoresponder 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.
Thanks for your support and we are here to help you build a profitable list.
