List Building with the biggest List Builder on the Internet.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Anyone in internet marketing today will tell you that the king of list building is Tellman Knudson. He makes several Million Dollars each year and has affiliate marketers for his products that makes thousands every month letting people know about his training programs.

Tellman is one of those affiliate marketing gurus that has his on twist to things but stresses the basics in all that you do. He also stresses action, action and more action to make money.

When you decide to get serious with your internet marketing and specially with building your list then he is one of the top trainers on the internet.

He sent me an email today to have a look at a video he had just done. The video came about from questions he was getting from his affiliates. In this video he showed one of his squeeze pages that was getting a very good opt in rate.

I was really surprised when the squeeze page turned out to be a Marketing Makeover Generator page. I did not know that a successful list builder like Tellman used a squeeze page service.

For whatever reason I have always associated squeeze page generators like Marketing Makeover Generator and Squeezepage Pro as something to help people new to affiliate marketing get started building their list.

Boy was I wrong.

I have used both Marketing Makeover Generator and Squeezepage Pro and found both easy to use and very helpful in creating effictive squeeze pages. I also have and do recommend both to anyone interested in affiliate marketing or list building.

The bottom line is that if squeeze page generators are being used by the gurus in internet marketing because they are effective and easy to set up, then everyone in internet marketing should be using them.

Rags to Riches with your Internet Business

Internet marketing, affiliate marketing and network marketing have one thing in common.

They have lots of people that go from rags to riches in a very short time.

I would love to tell you I am one of them. The truth is I am not. I actually know one of the reasons I haven’t made as much money in internet marketing as I would have liked.

I have been to dispersed in my affiliate marketing efforts. My focus has been on too many things instead of just the one or two I should be focusing on.

Every person I know who started an internet business that was successful in a very short period of time has two elements in their story that is the same. These elements are:

  • Mentoring in a step by step system that was already proven to work
  • Focused on working one system or program at the time until it was making them a good profit.
  • That doesn’t sound so hard does it?

In speaking of focusing on one thing at a time, it sounds easy. Really focusing on one thing at a time is not as easy as it sounds.

What made me think of this, is a program that Derrick VanDyke has added to Affiliate Cash Secrets. The program is a real rags to riches story for Matt Benwell.

Matt’s kid brother, Rob, was doing well as an internet marketer and had told Matt several times he should start his own internet marketing business. Matt had thought it was way to complicated for him to do.

Finally one day Matt decided, after a few bad days at his job, that it was time to put in a little extra effort and see what he could do.

Look, instead of me trying to tell the story second hand just go over to Quick-fire Profits and read it for yourself.

Should Affiliate Marketers Blog About What They Know and Like.?

Now that you have chosen your Blog platform, it is time to decide what you are going to put on the blog that will give value to others.

I personally enjoy the self improvement industry and passing on knowledge to new affiliate marketers about how to do things through my blog. Since you are reading this you most likely have read some of my other post and know I want to help those new to Internet and Affiliate Marketing get past some of the hurdles that have got in my way.

I also give opinions about products I use and those that I believe will help my readers get the best value from where they are now. The thing you have to understand here is that the best program in the world is of no use to you if you don’t have the basic knowledge to implement it and take action on that knowledge.

You probably have guessed that I would recommend you do something similar.

To have good content on your blog you do not have to be a great writer. All you have to do is communicate with people through your blog about what you like, dislike and what you use or do. Communicate like you would if you were talking to a friend.

Would you recommend something to a friend that you didn’t believe would be of value to them?

I didn’t think you would. Now just think of everyone that reads your blog as a friend.

Content on your blog is just the start of having a good blog. All the content in the world is no good without the following:

   1. Your blog designed to appeal to and make it easy for your readers to read it.

2. Your blog setup to generate traffic each time you post.

3. You blog setup to allow your readers to subscribe to your RSS feed and your email.

The first is being addressed with post in the Website Conversion category. The second and third are much more simplified by getting a Blog i360 site where you don’t have to worry about the little (most important) things.

A light bulb on Affiliate marketing and building a list.

Have you ever been listening to something and all of a sudden an idea just jumps out at you. Well this very thing happened to me just a couple of days ago.

When that light bulb went off I stopped what I was doing and wrote down a few notes. I couldn’t get started working on the idea right then but I had to do something to make sure I didn’t loose it. That is why I wrote it down.

To give you the picture I have to go back a couple of weeks.

I elected to take part in an on line seminar touted as being a virtual seminar. They setup a virtual lobby [Read more →]
