How do you build your list??

List, what list?

You have to have a list to make money on a regular
basis, this is one of the basics in Internet Marketing.

You could even call it Rule #1.

You have to have a list, and I will tell you one of the
simplest ways to build one, and build it quickly.

I have many methods I use to build my lists but, one
of my all-time favorites has got to be using the Free
JV Giveaway sites.

Now,a lot of people poo poo this idea and say that all
you pick up is freebie seekers.

I totally disagree with this, and can certainly prove this
to be false.

I have a method or ‘system’ for making sales with the
JV Giveaways.

I have (3) email addresses, and I upload (3) products
to each JV Giveaway event that I get involved with by
using a pseudonym (that’s a pen name or aka) and a
different email address for each.

I set up a sequential autoresponder at my SendFree
Atoresponder for each of the Free products that I have
listed at the Giveaways. 

Then I load up the autoresponder with follow-up emails,
sent every two days or so, that recommend a popular
product from the ClickBank Marketplace, that is related
to the freebie they have just downloaded from me.

In my signature in the email I throw in a link to the sign-
up form for my free newsletter, The Cutting Edge Ezine,
as well as one or two other free memberships or
products.

I also have the original sign-up form they used to sign
up for my freebie at the JV Giveaway attached to (2)
One Time Offers.  If they decide they are not interested
in either of those, I send them on to an ‘email confirm’
page telling them an email has just  been sent to the
email address they have given me.

This ‘email confirm notice’ page besides containing the
various ‘white-listing’ how-to’s for the various mailing
programs and a link back to the sign-up page, just in
case they happen to leave me the wrong address the
first time around (smile), also contains links to other
freebies related to their download that are attached to
other autoresponders, containing other product’s from
ClickBank and PayDotCom as well.

This way hopefully, all the bases are covered.

I am picking up, on the average, somewhere in the
neighborhood of 120 to 150 new members for my
various mailing lists each and every day with this very
method right here.

-and-

I am getting sales of these ClickBank and PayDotCom
products that I’m filling the autoresponders with, every
week.

I’ll tell you right now that to set up this method is not free,
but you will find out in the long run that if you really want
to make any real money out on the Net, it’s next to
impossible to do it for free.

You could get free Autoresponder accounts, and free
emailboxes from GMail, and keep making up ficticious
names if you want but, in the long run, it will get very
confusing, I’m just being honest with you.

But you certainly can do that to start.  One of the major
problem you run into is that you can’t move your list if
you decide to go with another company, so you should
try to get your free account with a company that allows
upgrading from a free account to a paid account.

SendFree.com:
http://www.sendfree.com/affref/76800/

AWebber:
http://www.aweber.com/?101274

and GetResponse:
http://www.getresponse.com/index/gariboli

All allow you to do this.

Here’s the simple tools you’ll need for both the Free
Method and the Paid Method:

1st, My Free Method — it’s more hassle but – it is free,
follow the method as outlined above, making your sign
up pages for your freebies pages on a free Blog or
multiple Blogs.

You will also need:
– A Business Account with PayPal
https://www.paypal.com/us/mrb/pal=3HUCE9YZ2CUXQ

– An Affiliate Account with PayDotCom
http://paydotcom.net/?affiliate=48881

– An Affiliate Account with ClickBank
http://cb4gad.reseller.hop.clickbank.net

– A free Blog or several free Blogs from Blogger or
WordPress (look up in Google)

– Several GMail Accounts (look up in Google)

– (3) Free Autoresponder Accounts With
SendFree.com,  AWebber or GetResponse.
(addresses above)

Maybe try one of each to see who’s interface you like
working with best.

2nd – The Advanced Method – costs money, but you
make more money.  You post your Freebies, and
Reports You’ve Written on Squeeze Pages You’ve
Designed, installed on your own website that You’ve
Built Yourself.

Now you are really in the game!. 

You’ll need to purchase the folowing items:
– A Domain Name (‘YourName’.com etc…) from
GoDaddy – http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1897993-10379078
or IPower – http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1897993-10397963

– Reseller Webhosting with
HostGator – http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=itseasy
or IPower – http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1897993-10397963

– A Paid Autoresponder Account With
SendFree.com – http://www.sendfree.com/affref/76800/
AWebber – http://www.aweber.com/?101274

– A free copy of NVU for Sueeze Page Building,
Webpage Editing & Website Publishing

free ebook detailing the method.

Paid Tactics” in the subject line, hit send, and I’ll

A simple promise from me to you…

OK, I’ve been a little busy lately so you haven’t heard
from me very much in the last few days!

That is not normally the case for me…

In order to be successful at making money on the
Internet, you need to align yourself with the correct
people to gather valuable information through and
from.

This sounds simple but – it is actually a monumental
goal that very few who set out to accomplish, actually
attain. 

It can be incredibly confusing at times, trying to decide
who to trust and put your faith in, this is an unfortunate
reality.

You will also need to arm yourself with the proper tools
to put together a successful ‘system’ that will help you
accomplish the success you seek.

This can be an overwhelming task also, because the
hoards of ‘would-be’ Guru Marketers are always in
your face telling you ‘their system is best’, and that all
you need to do is just ‘follow them and all the success
you seek will be yours’.

Has this been as confusing to you, as it was for me?
It is very hard deciding who to listen to, and deciding
exactly what tools you need purchase, find or collect in
order to put a successful system – or several successful
systems together.

There was a preacher back in my home town, in the
church I used to attend when I was just a boy, that had
a saying he would use in situations like this.

He would often say – “Brothers and Sisters, I feel your
pain, and I’m here to do something about it!”

He was awesome, he meant every word he said, and
so do I.

You have my word that I will:
– Only bring you product’s that I am using, have
purchased or have developed myself that are
truly helping me in acheiving financial success.

– Bring you every ‘real’ Tip, Trick or Method I know
or come accross, that I truly believe will help you
and I improve our Online businesses.

– Bring you only the ‘cream of the crop’ products or
methods, and not waste your time or get you off on
unproductive projects.

– Be one of the only sources that you can truly trust to
tell you about what works, and what does not, based
on my own experience or the experience of those
above me that I rely on and have found I can trust.

The list of ‘who’ I trust or gather information from grows
on an almost weekly basis at this point, so to try and
provide you with a list would be almost impossible but,
let it suffice to say “they have impressed me” – which is
not an easy task.

You can trust in the fact that these folk’s that I use as my
Mentor’s, I use because they have not let me down – ever.
Instead, in almost every case, they have helped bring
me and my knowledge level to a much higher plain.

I add to my list regularly.  Sometimes it’s because some
new ‘up and comer’ that I’ve already been watching has
developed a ‘new system’, and has some excellent proof
that it works -and- sometimes, like the rest of you, it is
because someone I trust has brought them to me.

I also have people dissapear off my ‘Mentor List’ from
time to time, usually this is because they have become
stagnant or because they no longer seem to be an
active ‘daily participant’ in the Internet Maketing Industry.

This is an Industry that see’s changes on an almost daily,
definitely weekly basis.  If you are not looking, you can
get left in the dust by the next ‘big new wave’.

Although this is true for the most part, there are also
many time proven method’s for advertising your products
or services on the Internet, by driving traffic to your web
site (or sites) – targeted traffic.

These methods that have always worked, and more than
likely always will, because these methods work in unison
with the oporational design of the Search Engines.

These methods feed the Search Engines the information
they crave – exactly the way the Search Engines want to
receive it. 

These methods will always work, and I will show you many
ways that you can do this yourself in coming issues of my
Garrett’s Tip’s and Gift’s.

You know, at times we all find it hard to keep it together
and stay on track, and not get lost while we are trying to
attain success for ourselves and our businesses.

I have certainly had a problem with that in the past.  You
know, at one point I was actually spending 4+ hours a
day on just my email.  What an idiot I was then… :o )

Just remember, you are probably not the first one going
down the path you are on and if you run into problems,
and have questions, the answer is probably already out
there – you just have to learn how to look or ask for it, in
order to find it.

I want you to know that “You are not alone”, and I will be
happy to help you to the best of my ability.

I’m an old Domino’s Pizza Franchisee from waaaay back,
I’ll bet you didn’t know that, did you?

Yes, I was a dedicated Pizza Man for more than 15 years,
all the way up until the point of suffering a flood in a small
town in Northern California put my 4 store company out
of business.

An act of God can be a very swift ‘eye opener’.

Prior to being a Franchisee in Northern California, I ran
some of the highest volume Domino’s in the world in
the Washington DC area back in the late 1980′s, I even
Co-managed the #2 store in the world in 1988.  Between
4pm and 8pm on any given Friday night, we would take
the orders for, cook and send out on the road for delivery
over 1000 pizza’s!

One of the things that made us so ‘big and bad’ back
then was the management style that we were taught by
the folk’s in charge back then (Tom Monaghan, Dave
Black, Frank Meeks, and my Franchisee Brad Biggers).

This was known as the ‘T.E.A.M.’ method of management,
which simply stood for “Together, Each, Accomplishes
More!”  You might have heard of this before.

We also believed heavily in the ‘K.I.S.S. Principal’, which,
in case you’ve never heard of it before, stands for “Keep
It Simple – Stupid”, but that’s another set of lessons for
another time :o )

Both are ingrained very deeply in me and my everyday
way of being, and always will be.

I truly believe that If you and I share our best methods and
bits of knowledge with other’s who need it, it will bring you
and I a ‘loyalty’ from these folk’s that will encourage them
to be loyal back to us and ‘Buy Products From Us’ – and
Us Only – when there is something they want and we
happen to be one of the people selling it!

This is what I ‘teach and preach’ – and this is What I Do.

The people that are really successful, have learned this
lesson a long time ago.  They put a new name to it about
every two years or so, but the idea is still the same.

I think the last time someone ‘just came out with this idea’,
they called it something like ‘moving the free line’ or some-
thing cliche’ like that.  – does that ring a bell??

If you’ve been out here for very long you will notice a lot
of that type of thing.  Like where you see the very same
method twenty different times, and all they have done
is change the label of the / ebook / website etc…

 -or-

where they take something that should be pretty much
clearly obvious to almost everyone, and put a wild new
fangled label on it, and a hip hop new video about it,
instead of an ebook, and act like it the hottest thing since
the fricken’ wheel (Mind Control).

Do you know what I mean (Mind Control)??

That was a little ‘Mr Subliminal’ for you old SNL fans…

I don’t mean to in any way take any sort of a shot a Frank
Kern either – the man is truly one of my idols, and just
freakin’ brilliant to say the least.  He is also a complete
master of ‘Re-Invention’.

Watch these guys, learn from these guys, and one day
it really will be you. 

It has worked for me, I’m not too far from their ‘inner circle’
now -and- soon, I will be there.

How bout you?

– Together, we can each get there quicker, don’t you
agree?

Thank you once again for entrusting me to 10 minutes of
your valuable time, I understand how much it means.

Feel free to contact me any time with any questions you
might have.
