Building Your E-Mail List

November 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Last week I guess I wrangled you into either signing-up or at least looking at “Aweber” as a possible auto-responder. Now that you have had that exposure, I thought I would get into the details of building your e-mail list. No matter the direction of my travels I always run into “The List” as a common theme of harvesting wealth from the internet.

One of the great things about Aweber is they now have an “Opt-In Forms” builder! This is a terrific tool for the beginner. I started out without any of the tools offered at Aweber, and it was a real pain for me to get a list started.

The Opt-In Forms builder is a must for anyone that is serious about making money with your blog. However, the Aweber system is not without challenges. I find it a tad cumbersome. Remember the focus for the beginner is to just get started. Don’t sweat this system when starting out. You can work on this as you go along, just get started building your list!

Once you get a feel for what you are doing you can move on to designing your own forms in Photoshop or Gimp and link them to your Aweber account. I have provided a link here, for those who want to take a shot at doing this. But remember that this is for the advanced blogger.

It took me about six months to get my Opt-In form going, I can’t help but think of all the gold that has slipped through my fingers. Be Smart and make your Opt-In Form a priory from the start. If you don’t have an E-Book product of your own to offer, you can find someone who will let you offer their’s. There are plenty of PLR products out there for you to use. Those that offer these type of PLR products get free advertising and you get to build your list.

Just remember to use an offer that relates to your blog and get moving on this now!

Oh ………. by the way, why not join my mailing list just to the right of this post and get “Bloggers Market Pillar Content Archives” Its a super little book and its free! —————>

The World According To Aweber

November 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

When trying to build a competent blogging system, it never ceases to amaze me the choices that are available to the Internet marketer. I only want the best. Things usually work better this way. When you look at say ……… the blog platforms, or say ……….. the hosting options, the choices are many and are usually of good value, making it nearly impossible to make a “I only want the best” decision. The more choices the harder the decision. This leads to many a night studying as many sources as possible trying to reach a consensus. Man …….. talk about a brain drain!

Unless you follow a blog such as mine, (which is totally geared towards the beginner) most blogs that teach blogging can be bewildering. So you spend way too much time digging for what you really need.

While blogging is not rocket surgery, it does take a number of informed decisions to be ahead of the curve. You have to have a good blogging platform, you have to have a good domain name and hosting service. You have to have a solid blogging template. You have to have good affiliate products to promote and advertisers who are willing to go along with your ride, and of course a stand alone product of your own always helps matters. To promote all of this you are going to need a good auto-responder. That brings us to “Aweber”.

In studying all types of auto-responders I’ve covered a lot of ground,  most of it while reading on some other issue when auto-responders enter into the picture. It always comes down to Aweber. These guys have got to be close to riches; talk about a lock on your market.

You can play the field but I’m afraid you will find that it really comes down to Aweber! Click on the link below and give it a no-risk test drive.

Grizzly Bears Rule!

November 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Every now and then I get frustrated with all the SEO “crap” and I start at the very beginning, to try to mine some sort of a nugget from the gold mine of sources that are available on the internet and the countless bookmarks that I have piled-up inside my browser, trying desperately to find the “key” that I have somehow overlooked.

I have tried until I am about blind from trolling, and the decisions on sources are daunting. I try and work with all sorts of options and nothing really stands out. I get all sorts of people with all sorts of rankings for all sorts of keywords and nothing really makes any sense. After giving up I just type “make money online” into Google and sit back and let my brain breath. As I look over the results for the “king of keywords” images of Internet marketing gurus permeate my imagination. Names such as Brad Callen, Yaro Starak, Brian Clark. Instead what I come up with is the same thing that I have always come up with and that is …………. “The Griz”

I thought I would give this guy a plug, after all he has held down this particular keyword for at least the past year. What I find so fascinating is the fact that I’m not really sure that the grizz is really representative of what you might call an Internet magnate, but he’s kinda fun and he makes a lot of sense. Most interesting is the fact that his main blog (I think he actually has two) is on the “blogger” system. If you follow this blog you know that the blog marketing kings use their own platforms on their own servers. I think that is the reason for the second blog, I think he is in the process of making some changes for the better. He is also making changes in his personal life, leaving his kingdom in Canada and moving south to assist the cubs in school and such.

So here’s wishing the Griz all the luck with his new diggs and continued success in ruling the Internet with “make money online“  ………. when you think about it,  it really is pretty amazing!
