I think email list is the most important wealth in any Online business.
Just like me when I subscribed to a list and all of a sudden this person
keep on throwing out products left and right I immediately unsubscribed to that list. I want email with value and contents. I dont mind affiliate links but make sure he reviewed the products and actually successful on it.

Just in any personal relationship, value..value… value.

This is a good advice, specially offering products to your list. In your case I made a point to read your email coz it contains value. I have
guru keep on throwing products, w/c I believe just for the sake of a sale.

I appreciate your effort to recommend products that you yourself found helpful.

yeah video is popular, but I don’t do heaps
on it, but what I do do is use Camtasia
to record my screen, and there is a free
version of it called Jing that you may like

You really overdeliver and I love yru stuff. I truly appreciate the bit about always reviewing a product before you recommend it.

Too many of these so called gurus are selling this today and that tomorrow and they are nothing but shills and bad ones at that.

But everyone recommends Video. Do you have a recommendation for a video course? I don’t quite want what is offered with Video Boss as I don’t think the video needs to be that slick. the message is more important than the gimmicks but I know video is popular; although in my own case I hate it as I can read so much faster than the video goes.

Once again thanks a ton for all the great information.

That a great question that you have asked there and I will consider doing a post on that soon. However to give you a brief answer I would recommend that you search for low competition keyword that you can rank a content squeeze page in the search engine for. This can be a blog also, just make sure that every page has an obvious sign up, like mine does at the top right (the eye drifts there).

The more content you publish on these low competition terms the more traffic you get, but you will have to do some minor link building to the posts.

also you can drive PPC traffic to a squeeze page and this works too, and yes I do that a fair bit, here’s an example of one: http://www.the-super-affiliate.com

You can also use flying pop over that are a squeeze page. So with this you set it to come over at a 30 second delay and that way you get better results. also with what ever you do make sure the page is giving something of value away like you mentioned, that is key. also having cool graphics like a software or CD case make the free gift look more valuable.

There is heaps more I could go into but I will leave it at that for now. Email me if you get stuck.

While all the tips and advice I see from you and others on email marketing are great (yours especially), I don’t see anyone offering solid tips on how to get an email list going in the first place. I understand having an opt-in form on my web pages and blogs and offering something of value in exchange is where it’s at, the question I have is, how do I get the traffic to my web pages and blogs to get them to sign up? Kind of like which comes first, the chicken or the egg.

Maybe you could do a helpful post mapping out the best, most efficient process for getting people TO the opt-in form. I know about PPC and a little about social networking sites, but how does a pro do it?

Thanks, Matt
