I'm sure you've seen, "It's All In The List" and wondered just how true that is if you're just online to make a few extra bucks. Let me give you a personal example.
First if all, if you are another one of the little guys and not some big Guru, building a list by yourself is silly. Get into some program like Work For 3 Dollars where everyone you get under you, as well as all those above you, act to add to your efforts to bring in more.
I found 50 people to join under me over the last few months and they expanded that list to over 1,000 to help me. At the same time, it put a couple hundred dollars in my pocket for doing what I would have anyway.
So along comes another list builder called List Jumper
The unique benefit this list has, is you can earn credits reading the messages other list members send out, so even those who have a hard time recruiting can do well. You can spend those credits to send your own message to random members, or to jump over people above you in the list so you get a better cross section to send to.
So I sent a message to my Work For 3 Dollars list members and recruited 178 of them to get on List Jumper too in just a few days. Not only are they helping me by adding points to my balance, they are pulling in new fresh members from their collective advertising. I couldn't have moved that fast without already having a list to send to when the pre-launch started.
In case you think that's just a fluke, when Gateway2Hits started their pre-launch I sent to both the lists plus a couple hundred random members of List Jumper and put 127 in this list to start growing it too. This one will add advertising I can use and pay me as all my referrals buy advertising too.
There you have it. You don't need to be a Guru to have a good list. The secret is to always send them valuable content that will help them further their own agenda, not just yours. As soon as they see you taking a self-serving approach to each message they read, your list will soon become worthless. I have one from a few years ago with over 10,000 on it I don't even send to anymore.
I hope my experience can help a few of you see the advantage in building a list and we can work together in the future.
See you all online!
Getting the Word Out
Wednesday October 22, 2008
Let's face it, some of us are here because the site has a revenue sharing model and we would love to get a few more friends, even if we have to go make some. You can't get them by wishing it would happen, we need to take action.
Well good advertising costs money, so it's hardly justified, right? Not true at all, if you learn about the new business model some advertising websites are embracing online. That's revenue sharing, a lot like like MyWallSt.
This is not new to me, I've made hundreds of dollars advertising and getting rebates from it over the last year. Now there's a new company coming on the scene that has seized my attention.
http://AdvertisingRebate.info will fill you in.
So if you want to follow a leader and learn how this all works, jump on this like a dog on a bone. It's free, so there's no risk.
But if you want to become a leader, show it to anyone you can that's into this Internet stuff and get a team started. Like the old dog sled musher in Alaska said, "If you're not the lead dog, the view is always the same".
See you all online!
Watching the Slide
Tuesday October 21, 2008
I am so happy I was invited here by Wayne, it has a strange effect on my Karma to watch all this going on and know that I was smart enough to put my dreams of making it big on Wall Street behind me!
An old retired guy like myself has no business playing in that game. I took three years to add $35,000 to my portfolio and lost it all in one night. The stock I paid $61 for got cut in half and never did come back, now it's cut in half again.
Fortunately it was not my money, easy come easy go.
