For the long-term success of your online business you must build an email list.
Building an email list allows you instant, frequent and free communication with your list indefinitely.
You can send them updates, content and special offers.
Many make a full-time living purely off their email lists.
Here’s what you need to do to build up your email list:
Decide what niche you are going to build your list in.- Pick an offer that you will use to entice visitors to join your list. This can be a free report, ebook, software, video, etc.
- Build a simple squeeze page with a powerful headline, your offer’s benefits in bullet points and a call to action to sign up now.
- Set up an autoresponder account. I recommend Aweber (test drive it free).
- Integrate your optin form onto your squeeze page. Aweber has some great video tutorials on how to do this.
- Set up a thank you page where your subscribers can access your free offer.
- Set up frequent email messages in your autoresponder to go out to your list.
For more information on how to set up a squeeze page, check out my Landing Page Handbook (free instant download).
It’s amazing how many internet marketers don’t build an email list. Less than 5% in fact. It’s no wonder that many don’t make it online.
What keeps most people back from building their own email list is that they are overwhelmed by it. They don’t feel they can implement it.
If you fall in this category, you need to check out this video right now:

I don’t think a demo version is available. However, it does come with a 100% money-back guarantee so there’s no risk
Hi
I bought Auto Profit Launcher and when I found it was not what I expected it to be, I checked the website for refund gurantees and I found this:
———————————————-
Auto Launch Your Profits,
Or Rob Us Blind Guarantee
Try out Auto Profit Launcher with zero risk for 30 days. And we mean really try it.
Create your websites during that time, get them out there and send traffic to them. Keep all those profits — they’re all yours.
After 30 days, if you’re if you’re not completely happy with Auto Profit Launcher, we’ll refund your money, no questions asked.
—————————————————————-
So after 30 days I applied for refund and got a shock ! The support staff drew my attention their “terms of use” which is not readily visible and it says you have to apply for refund with 30 days.
So I think this is a deliberate attempt to avoid refunds. One the website, the customer is asked to apply for refund after 30 days and when he does point to terms of use and refuse refund. What do you all make of this devious plan of Auto profit launcher ?
I am a newbie and $497/- is my hard earned money.
Hi Eric,
I think you should be able to get a refund. If the site says “Try out Auto Profit Launcher… After 30 days, if you’re if you’re not completely happy with Auto Profit Launcher, we’ll refund your money, no questions asked.” but then they tell you that you need to apply for the refund within 30 days this is certainly misleading on their part.
This is what I would do if I were you; I’d reopen the refund request support ticket or open a new one and tell them exactly what you have mentioned above. Also add that if they do not promptly refund your money that you will alert the appropriate authorities.
Let me know how you go.
This is absolutely true – goals can really mean the difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it. I always think that I’m pretty good at setting goals, but judging by how I don’t find myself reaching those goals very often I am starting to think that maybe I’m not that good at it. It’s important to set realistic and specific goals, and maybe put them a little higher than realistic so that you’re always stretching a little harder to reach them.

These are some great advice to rank high on Google (or any other search engine). But finding a keyword with good search volume and low seo competition can be much more challenging than it might seem, trust me.
Moreover, if we make it a practice to write based ONLY upon keyword research, it might cause us to drift away from our blog’s main niche, some times.
Apart from these possible dangers, overall great advice!

This looks interesting, I’m going to check it out. Brian Tracy’s books are really entertaining and informative about selling, that’s for sure.
Hi John,
Thanks for understanding the situation and for the support. It is a very clear and devious ploy to avoid refunds. They are completely ignoring all references to their “30 days” statement and keep harping on their “within 30 days” in the emails.
Some gurus had promoted this product and I am going to inform them and also all other gurus on whose list I am. Everyone should become aware of such practices.
I am planning to report this to the FTC. Such unscruplulous marketers shouldn’t be allowed to fool customers.
Now this is not something new with aweber.. I have had frequent problems with Aweber earlier.
This is great info…
I did not think eZine articles was the to rank high with.
This is incredibly good advice. Especially the part about being an expert in a field. Alle successful people are experts in their field. Study 10.000 hours and more.
Goals could be achieved when you put your heart on what your doing. Gather all the resources that you can use and able to utilize those resources to commit your goals. Failure could sometimes happen but those failure can make them your motivation to work hard.
Thanks for those patterns and it will come in handy for me.
Love, love, love Jeff Johnson. He has some awesome information and tools that help people get top paying careers online. We plan to tweet this posting for our readers as well. Thanks for sharing!

Your first step, writing down your goal, is absolutely essential in achieving goals. I find that writing things down somehow solidifies what you’ve written down – it’s like setting something in stone. And once it’s set, there’s no other turning back from it.
I agree with adding a PayPal cart to your website if you want to sell stuff online. It just makes things easier and faster! Although I confess didn’t bother watching the video – I outsourced the techie stuff to a freelancer and he was the one who added the PayPal cart to my website.
Clickbank is the top-of-mind brand, at least over here, for affiliate marketing. That’s how powerful it is. Even for non-newbies, Clickbank is still one of the better affiliate networks out there.
Good post! your right – supply and demmand, its the first thing people should think of when deciding to sell on ebay..

As a business we think about, I’m the manager and this is what I need my team to do. But people aren’t motivated by what’s important to you as the manager. There motivated by what’s important to them.
I’m not sure I’m preselling properly. I was recently informed that I need to use a “call to action statement” in my articles. But isn’t that selling?

Hi SFaith,
Yes, you’ll want to have a strong call to action at the end of your articles. This call to action is allowed to be included in the resource box which is added at the end of the article. This is acceptable (and even recommended) by all the article directories.

Really timely news for me as I’ve just put together a Rock Music antoresponder sequence on Aweber. So I have just made sure I’m not tracking the click-throughs, until this issues resolved. Much appreciated info.
The latest news I have about the League of Extraordinary Minds is that Jay Abraham and Rich Schefren are pulling together groups of the experts into panels.
If you sign up all she has to do is your email and pass word then she can use your account, statements will go to you, or if authorized you can let her inter you account info (bank access) and use as hers.
I think this one is getting overlooked because no “real brands” use Aweber… it’s primarily an “affiliate marketing” ESP… so no one like MarketingSherpa, who has a considerable amount of value in their brand, are complaining loudly.
Thanks for posting this John. I am presently using Aweber’s Javascript web form. I will change it to RAW HTML.
I’ve joined up with ClickBank a while ago and have not made any considerable income, maybe I need to work with them a bit more. Thanks for the read though.
Hi Readbud,
What methods are you using to promote Clickbank products?
