Many of you know of the amazing results Jaime Mintun and I achieved in only 60 days from our Success Blueprint.

I’ll be discussing this in more detail in the near future.

In the meantime, I want to prepare YOUR path to success by getting you to take the first step…

THINK about the following.

• How much time to you spend each day performing activities related to your most important goal?
• Do you even know what your most important goal is?
• How do you master such problems as limited time, multiple commitments, simultaneous tasks, and conflicting priorities?
• What techniques do you use to conserve time, energy and money?
• How do you maintain focus, motivation and good humor in the face of frustrating obstacles and adversity?
• Does your most important goal relate to your natural abilities?

I urge you to take a few minutes and really think about these questions.

Most people don’t. And most people give up long before they are successful.

And that’s a tragedy. A tragedy that is easily prevented.

Secret List Building Tactics

That makes a good list building course something you have to have.

There are a number of different techniques you can use to quickly build your opt-in list and generate thousands of subscribers to your newsletter.

I currently have over 21,253 subscribers to my newsletters. You can do the same!

If you already have a web site, you should obviously start there.

I’ve found that too many people do not make it easy for people to sign up for their list.

You should have a sign up box on every page of your site. Don’t use a simple email link. Use
the actual sign up box.

You’ll get a lot more subscribers this way.

If at all possible, place the sign-up box above the fold on the page so your visitors don’t have to scroll down to see it.

But anywhere on the site is better than nothing. You can even add a second sign-up box at the very bottom of the page.

Make sure to include some kind of privacy statement to reassure people.

Spam is getting out of control, making more and more people hesitant to give out their email address.

Always over an incentive to your visitors for subscribing to your newsletter. In fact, sell them on the incentive and not the newsletter itself.

Check out BloggingBlackbook.com for an example.

Write articles and submit them to the top article directories. Article marketing is a powerful list building technique.

Include a resource box at the bottom that tells people about your free report and direct them to your web site where they can subscribe to get the report.

You’ll not only drive traffic to your site from the article directory, but many web sites will post your article on their site as well.

This could be worth thousands of extra visitors to your list building page.

While it may seem like it will get little in the way of results, use your email signature to advertise your newsletter.

After all, you only have to do it once and then it’s on auto-pilot. Think about how many emails you send out in a year. It adds up.

If you participate in forums you can include a signature to your posts telling people about your newsletter.

Make sure to check the forum rules, although most allow you to do this in your signature.

Consider ad swapping with other newsletter publishers. Place their sign up box on your thank you page and have them do the same for you.

A couple of pay options would be to take out ads in other newsletters or to advertise using Google Adwords or other PPC engines to drive visitors to your newsletter sign up page.

Yes, it will take a little time to begin growing your opt-in list but with these tips you’ll start to see subscribers coming in and your actions will build on themselves, eventually generating thousands of new subscribers for you.

My friend Michael, over at Marketing Tools Today recently wrote a great piece about this and is allowing me to share it with you.

Here’s Michael’s take on the importance of the proper mindset in internet marketing:

Written By: Michael Gunn

I was notified the other day that I had a new comment to approve on my blog and so I went to check it out.

Now, I don’t know this individual, but below is his message in full and then I am going to comment on it below….

“I have your videos on AWeber. I too thought they would convert.

I sent them to my list of a mere 700 (hit a brick wall 4 months ago and not one sign up since) but not one click. I’m not surprised -

I’ve been emailing offers since October 07 and still have sales of $0 from the list.

The money is in the list – yeah, right – and pigs fly.

I have no idea what PLF2 is – some guru thing I guess.

I also have no idea what a product “launch” is. You build a page – upload it and hope someone will buy – that seems to be it.

Oh well – the rich do things a different way to us peasants.”

And now for my commentary.

First of all, I haven’t decided if I’m going to approve the comment or not. The guy may have been having a bad day or real frustrated or whatever…

So let me start here when he says:

“I sent them to my list of a mere 700 (hit a brick wall 4 months ago and not one sign up since) but not one click.”

Well, 700 isn’t “mere”. It is very possible to make some good money with a list this size DEPENDING ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.

But if you have it in your head that it is a small list, then it will perform like a small list.

If you suddenly stopped getting optins 4 months ago, SOMETHING IS WRONG. Find out what the problem is and SOLVE IT.

It might be as simple as your software stopped working.

Also, how did he obtain this list? Were they optins? Co-reg? Has he communicated with the his other than with offers?

People don’t like to be treated like ATM’s!

Did the mailing even get to them? Who is your autoresponder system?

Have they whitelisted themselves with all the major ISP’s? There could be lots of reasons here…

“but not one click. I’m not surprised – I’ve been emailing offers since October 07 and still have sales of $0 from the
list.”

You’ve been emailing offers but have you been emailing USEFUL CONTENT?! If you’re “not surprised” then also remember this
…WHATEVER YOU FOCUS ON GROWS!

I stated way back in January that my major focus was going to be list building.

Every product I have made, every post I have made, every email I have sent has been with that goal in mind.

Since then I have added 2,500 to my IM list in the past four months and I am not doing anything special.

“The money is in the list – yeah, right – and pigs fly.”

It’s also about attitude. You attract what you think about!

My list is a group of amazing people! I rarely mail out an offer and when I do it is something that will help GROW their business not distract them.

For this reason when I send out an offer it is no surprise that 17-20% make a purchase.

The money isn’t in the list! The money is in your RELATIONSHIP with your list.

“I have no idea what PLF2 is – some guru thing I guess.”

This is a sign of trouble. If you are going to be involved in a market then you need to be up to speed about the happenings of that market.

“I also have no idea what a product “launch” is. You build a page – upload it and hope someone will buy – that seems to be it.”

Hmmm… The “If you build it, they will come” marketing hasn’t worked since ‘94. Maybe not even then. It requires WORK.

“Oh well – the rich do things a different way to us peasants.”

Yes, they do. That’s WHY they’re rich. But you know what else? The rich also THINK differently (Editor’s Note: See my post about this – Are The Rich Different Than You for more information about this).

The author of Proverbs said it best in my favorite Bible verse: “As a man THINKS in his heart, SO IS HE”

Here is the part though that I want everyone reading this to understand:

Be honest with yourself for a second… what this gentleman wrote IS NO DIFFERENT than what many of us say to OURSELVES everyday!

He just had the courage to write it!

And it is this type of thinking that is one of the major causes for us not having the level of success that we want. It’s time to
change that!

If we are not getting the results we want, we have to change what we are doing!

“If we always do what we have always done, we will always get what we have always got!”

If you are not making money online then try this..

Do ONE THING…TODAY that will DIRECTLY result in a deposit into your bank account. Anything else is just screwing around.

Quit giving yourself BS excuses! Everything you need to make $$ online is already on your hard drive.

Isn’t that why we’re here?
