There are some list building programs that let you build a list by referring people to the program but you don not have control over your mailings and you are also building the program owners list.

The process is the same as when you sign up for someone else's list. You need a squeeze page, (sometimes called an opt-in or landing page), where you offer something of value in return for your prospects information.

The prospect enters there information in the form that you provide on your page. The code for the form comes from your auto responder service. Once they sign up, they are automatically sent an email where they are asked to confirm there request for your offer.

Once they click on the link they are sent to your offer, which you would normally create a download page that will have a link to the file you are giving them. They are now a subscriber on your list and you can market to them at will.

Hope that clears up some things. If you need more details please contact me. I'm here to help.

I keep hearing that we newbies must focus on list building. I got that. What I can't figure out is how to go about the process right before people opt-in?? I know this is right in front of me but I'm just not grasping it.

Where are these folks that I'm providing with content in exchange for their name/email going to submit this info?? If I don't have a site, blog, then where are they coming across the page asking for their name/email??

I hope I worded this properly so maybe someone could see & understand my issues. Like I said, I know it's right there in front of my eyes.

Thank you so much for all the info, reading your stuff definitely clears some things up.

Mr Blog got 35,000 hits in the last 6 weeks, and my list has increased 55
a month. Thanks for your JV Give-aways materials… very nice.

I am in Alex's second coaching class and you and I have have spoken before. I am in your giveaway starting today and just finished one this week and had my first transaction, my cherry is now broken. I wrote about that on my blog.

I don't know much about the process of giveaways but I just downloaded your ebook after I listened to Dean Holland, my other mentor, telling us to read your book.

I have not done any ad swaps because I don't have a list to trade at this point in time. However, my mind is like a parachute in that it is open for any and all advice I can get to help with my IM business.

Good luck with your giveaway

Go out and make it a successful day!

Well, I knew it was only a matter of time before I received a negative comment on this one. LOL I actually expected there to be more. But, it just goes to show you that you can't make everyone happy.

I am sorry to see you go Kevin and even more disappointed that you find my emails unneccessary. I have sent a couple of sales promotions over the last week or two, but I am an Internet marketer. It's my business to sell things overy once in a while.

Once again, sorry to see you go. No hard feelings eh?

I am glad that you like my emails Norene. Positive comments are really an inspiration to me. It is really tough when you start a business like this. I am still working a full time job and do most of my online work in the wee hours of the morning.

I lose a lot of sleep and work a lot of hours because I know that soon I will be able to quit my job and do this full time. It is a long haul and very difficult to stay motivated. Knowing that people are actually responding to what I am doing is very encouraging and will help me see it through.

I will be talking more about adswaps in the future. Will probably create an ebook and give it away to build my list
