How to build a list, the right way.

It’s interesting that more and more people are always quoting the phrase “the money is in the list”, but few every figure out how to get the money out of the list they build.

Over the last 2 years, I’ve spoken with many new internet marketers that struggle with the concept of list building.  They aren’t sure where to start, how to start and what to do. In fact, I’ve recently asked my list how had a list, surprisingly, 80% had a list of 500 or less subscribers?

Is that bad? Well, yes and no. It’s not bad if that is a list of 500 buyers, or even 100 buyers. It’s not bad if you’re providing that list with create content, providing value and able to monetize that list.

I’ve found that at one point I fell in to the same trap. Instead of continually provide good, helpful content on a regular basis, I slipped into a “pitch mode”. Why? Because I was told that the money was in the list and I had to sell to them continuously. I can now tell you from personal experience, this doesn’t work.

When you’re building your list, you have to do a few things first. Obviously, you need to have something worthwhile to attract the person. So, you give away something cool, helpful and good.

Here’s where most people make their first mistake. They give away crap. Nothing good. Nothing real helpful. They are basically keeping the good stuff back to “sell” to them later. You should be doing just the opposite. Give something really helpful away. Maybe not your biggest trick, but one of the better ones… Keep them engaged.

Next, you need to give them some more cool stuff. List building is about relationship building. Engaging the subscriber and getting them to understand who you are and trust you. People are not going to trust people that are in their face with their hands out, looking for cash. It just doesn’t work that way.

After you’ve been helpful, given some cool stuff to them, then…and only then… will you begin to build some trust. Give them something cool,and helpful, they are likely to buy something you recommend.

Sometimes it just takes one of those Ah-Ha moments to snap back into reality and see what’s going on around you.

I’ve recently remembered exactly why I got into online marketing and why I’ve created sites that help other marketers… it was about giving back and teaching others.

This past weekend I popped in a DVD from one of the first products I ever purchased, Frank Kern’s Mass Control. I watched the Core Influence video, which is one that changed my thinking at the time…and changed it once again this past weekend. This stuff is just pure good, helpful stuff.

Frank’s getting ready to release a new product, List Control, and I’ll likely get my hands on that just because I’m sure there will be some great new information in the product. And of-course, Frank is going to be giving away some great stuff as well.

If you’re thinking about ways to build your list, then start with thinking about what you can give away that’s truly worthwhile and helpful to the subscriber. Mass Control taught about money magnets, the little things you give away that will bring the money back to you. This stuff works.

As I learn more about List Control I’ll post something about here and I’ll likely put together a cool bonus for it as well.

Let me know what you think…

Some simple results from Facebook Advertising

I’ve heard so much about Facebook advertising that I decided to take it for a spin myself. Before I get into the details, I want to put out an important disclaimer:

I am not a Pay Per Click (PPC) guru. This was only an experiment to see what type of results I’d get.

Now, with that said, I dug deep into my wallet and decided that I was only willing to spend a whopping $25 on advertising on Facebook and I decided I wanted to do that over the course of a few days. So this wasn’t a big stretch.

So what was it that I advertised? A Clickbank product. I picked something with a gravity of around 8-10 (yes quite low), but had a decent amount of search on Google. So I knew it was a popular topic.

Now, I also decided that I would put up a squeeze page and offer  a report that the Clickbank Vendor had provided as a give away already. Total time to put the squeeze page up…15 minutes. That includes getting all of my Aweber optin stuff setup.

Getting Started with Facebook Advertising

I then set to work on Facebook. I set up my ad campaign to run from Feb 10-15th. My ad budget, $5 a day.

I basically knew who my target audience was… people that had certain keywords in their profile.  As an example, let’s say I was advertising a gold product. I would then find people on Facebook that had the following keywords in their profile:

  • Playing Golf
  • Golf
  • Enjoying Golf
  • Going to the golfcourse
  • play golf

The great thing about Facebook…as you begin typing your phrase, Facebook suggests the words that people have already put in their profile… this is a slam dunk for keyword generation.

Next, I wrote my ad, nothing fancy. However, I did abide by Facebook’s rules for capitalization, punctuations, photos etc. Since they manually review all ads I had to be careful.

So… after approval a few hours later, I sat back and watched. No tweaking. Nothing.

My Facebook Advertising Results

My results… well check out my Facebook Ad Stats over 5 Days:

adspend

I spend under $25, got 95 Clicks out of 146253 Impressions.  Basically, my ad sucked… and Sucked bad. I spent about $.26 a click.

So.. I’m sure you’re wondering… what did I get for that $25.00?

Well, I built the start of a nice list in a decent niche… check out the new subscribers over 5 days.

awebleads

I added 28 new Leads to my list. I spent under $1 a lead. Which in my opinion wasn’t bad. Nothing huge, but I wasn’t expecting anything.

Let’s do some quick math. 95 Clicks and 28 new leads.. That’s about a 29% conversion rate. Not bad at all.

So, what of those 28 leads… did I make any money from them. Well, check out the Clickbank Account for those 2 days.

sales

I made 2 sales, totalling $67.04. Not a bad return on investment, right? BTW, the only way these sales could have happened is if the person opted into my giveaway. So 2 out of our 28 people purchased.   7% conversion rate.

So, we made $42.64 in just 5 days. No, not enough to get rich off of, or buy a fancy car.

However, if we tweaked our ad, landing page copy just a bit, upped our ad spend, we could easily begin seeing some real results.

Bottom line. Facebook advertising works and works well.

How to Get Started with Facebook Advertising

A week ago I literally knew nothing about Facebook  Advertising. Zilch. I was a Google Adwords guy.

However, I watched this video about Facebook advertising and how it was crushing Google adwords for performance and decided to grab the course. Aside from being pretty inexpensive, it went into detail about how to write an ad, what to say in it, how to target it.

Obviously, I didn’t follow the training verbatim. However, I will go back and watch it again and duplicate everything with much better results.

If you want to try out advertising on Facebook you should check out this video here.

Building Leads and commission with software sites

This is a bit crazy and I’m not sure why I never thought of it… but it works and works well.

Check out the video that provides an overview on how you (even if you’re not technical) can create software to give away, build a list and commission.

Having never seen this or used it before, I was able to use this system in less than 15 minutes…

Grab an offline business model that works…

Last post we talked about Viral Submitters and how doing a little networking got me hooked up with some marketing power houses.

This time around, I’ve managed to come up with something that can really make a big impact in your business. But before I explain what that is, I want you to understand a few things first.

Why not all programs are created equal

Look, we both know that there is a lot of marketing hype within the Internet Marketing industry. We both see it and and often times, we are both attracted to the same type of exciting offers. Those that promise to show you the inner workings of becoming a super Clickbank Afffiliate. The chances of making tens of thousands of dollars by promoting someone else’s product.

Sure…all of that stuff CAN and DOES work. But the truth is, it’s not something everyone is cut out for. It does require work. It does require getting traffic to a site. Sometimes it requires PPC, SEO and all of those acronyms that most marketers really don’t want to deal with.

So, where should you turn to really understand how to leverage the power of online marketing while not being conned, hyped and robbed of your hard earned and saved money?

You need to think like you are running a  business, not a hobby. Think like you want this to last. Like this isn’t the fulfillment of some dream where a pile of cash is going to fall in your lap.

When you’re realistic, have a plan and follow through, this stuff really works.

How to know who to listen to and when…

So I was out in Vegas hanging out with some of the best marketers online. These people are in all kinds of different niches. They are sharing their secrets, talking about what works, what doesn’t work and just being….well…normal business men and woman.

The best… these people love doing what they are doing. Some are filthy rich and some are living normal lives, making 40, 50, 60k a year. AND.. they are happy with that.

I got the chance to know one marketer really well. And what I mean is, I got to see him outside of his business. Just hanging out with his wife, talking about family, enjoying life in general.

It’s at those times, when people let down their guard, that you get to know them the best. To really understand them.

And that’s what I learned about Jeff Schwerdt. I won’t say he’s normal..because he’s not. He’s not your average guy. He used to fly F-16 jet’s… not something your normal person does.

But… Jeff was forced out of doing that because of an injury….and he ended up learning about Online and Offline marketing.

Over the few days I spent with him, I learned he had no real online marketing experience. That he had the opportunity to work with probably THE best online marketer, Frank Kern….AND that he was able to build a successful business but treating it like a business. Something many people don’t do.

Here are YOUR next steps…

So, my new friend Jeff has put together a very clear cut, easy to follow plan that outlines what he did to build his business. This isn’t some super affiliate, Clickbank style promotion product. This is a well defined business plan. Something you can apply to your own lifestyle and make it work.

Even more, he’s made this even easier. He’s put together a “Business in a box” that you can use to get running quickly AND he’s included professional training, a “done for you” program and proven results.

Your Next Steps are This…. if you do nothing else today…watch this video. Watch Jeff’s story, see what he’s talking about and imaginewhat you could accomplish  if you were able to cut out all of the noise and follow a plan that’s laid out for you.

Here’s What I’ll do for you

If you think that you can follow through on the steps above, and make use of a plan like that.. than do it now. And what I’ll do for you, is personally mentor you on the technical stuff.

I’ll walk you step by step through any technical stuff you have questions on. Together, between’s Jeff’s program, and my technical assistance, you will find success online.

And because this is taking my personal time to spend with you, at NO ADDITIONAL COST to you, I’m limiting this to only 5 people.

These 5 people will not only get access to me, but I’ll introduce you to some of my close marketing friends. These are introductions that can go a long, long way if you know how to leverage them right.

Here’s what to do right now

1) Go Watch the Video… you won’t regret spending the time doing this…

2) Get Access to Jeff’s program and the bonus he’s offering for his offline marketing..

3) Email me jeffczyz.bonus[-AT-]gmail.com and let me know you took advantage of this offer so I can put you on my schedule
