I have developed some really great friendships among my Internet Marketing peers, some I have met in person and an even larger number I have gotten to know through telephone conversations, Skype chats, email exchanges and live streams. All of these relationships have added value to my business and my  life and every now and then they produce some pretty cool experiences – just like friendships in the offline world.

Last Wednesday was one such occasion as I had a chance to jump onto “TE Live” hosted by Jon Olson and Tim Linden – the show airs weekdays on UStream TV.

My TE pal Lynn McCutcheon owner of Traffic Pro-X and all around awesome person, summed up my appearance on her blog as follows:

  • James shared a lot of good input and insight on the discussion we were all having about the negativity in TE Land in general and some other great stuff (always great coming from James), and after we all talked about it all at length a little more, the mood changed a little bit and some of us talked about how those of us who still support what we know traffic exchanges can do probably need to work a little harder at trying to keep a more positive outlook on things TE-wise and keeping on trying to help teach people the right way to do things to get results (a la Affiliate Funnel, TE Live, etc.).
  • We also found out James has a daughter who’s in college. I am still suspicious that he can’t possibly be old enough to have a daughter in college looking so young himself! icon smile My First Appearance on TE Live with Jon Olson and Tim Linden
  • James’ daughter was asking him about TE Live when she was there recently, and we had some discussion about the kids of TE Live. Tim and Jon were talking about going to get coffee and we all wondered why, when they both have kids there (as Jon’s son is visiting this week), they haven’t trained any of those kids to bring them their coffee.
  • Tim went to get coffee with his headset on, so we could still hear him but couldn’t see him. Then we heard his coffee maker.
  • Then when Tim got back, Jon went to get his coffee.
  • James didn’t go get any coffee.
  • I really don’t know what Jon’s doing here:

Lynn pretty accurately described the free for all… part serious and part totally random… just the way we like it!

If you haven’t yet experience the “water cooler” conversation that is TE Live, I personally invite you to stop by and spend some time with us. When I first started participating in TE Live a few months ago, I was always waiting for the “presentation” to start… it never did and what has evolved is something far more valuable to the participants… the people who tune in every day. It is a community of people who are getting to know each other, who can safely share their rants, best ideas, tips, promotions, and a good laugh everyday!

Be sure to check out TE Live and my friends blogs – be sure to say hello when you stop by!

Hats off to Jon and Tim for allowing TE Live to take on a life all it’s own and not trying to micro manage and mold this into just another training platform. We need the training broadcast too, but I love having a virtual water cooler to hangout at in the middle of my work day.

I am here to help you succeed online and achieve your ideal Internet lifestyle!

Today, I am concluding the series by giving you a list of the same viral tools I use to explode my personal list and add value to my subscribers on an ongoing basis. My recommendation is to carefully ready and implement the strategies covered in the prior 9 post in this series and then leverage your efforts with the tools listed here.

Viral URL: I use Viral URL to Cloak my affiliate links and to track my affiliate campaigns. In addition to the link cloaking features in Viral URL, they also have a solo ad and safe-list mailing feature that allows you to mail to thousands of fellow members. Using solo ads and safe-list to mail your promotions is critical for newer marketers who do not have their own subscriber list.

Visit Viral URL: Free Viral URL Account

List Hero: The brainchild of list building guru Tellman Knudson, List Hero is a all in one solution to help you build a viral opt-in list.

Visit List Hero: Free List Hero Account

Super Sign Up System: I use my Super Sign Up System to add new subscribers to my list every day by giving away 12 high value e-books followed by a series of helpful follow up letters delivered by email auto-responder.  For a small one-time charge, I will give you the entire system including a sales page, 12 e-books for you to give away for instant download and a follow-up responder series for you to copy and paste for your list.

To learn more follow the link below and opt in to receive all twelve e-books and to review the Super Sign Up Series. After you have provided your name and email address you will be redirected to download your books and review the entire system

AWeber Auto-Responder: I actually use three different auto-responder services in my business – more on this another time. If I was forced to only use one email auto-responder service it would be AWeber, which is the top choice by the majority of online marketers. Aweber has a variety of features such as opt-in form templates, post to blog features, and unlimited list on a single account.

To learn more about auto-responders in general and AWeber specifically, simply follow the link that follows and sign up for a free test drive.

james holmes radio photo1 150x150 Podcast Episode #104: Quality Matters More Than The Size Of Your List

List building is largely a numbers game but many marketers forget that quality matters when it comes to earning revenue with your list. If you want to monetize your subscriber list you must first provide real value for your members for free and then within your funnel convert those subscribers to buyers.

The basic formula that I teach to achieve our objective is simply offering visitors to your websites and blog sites a high value item free as a reward for opting in, I refer to this as an ethical bribe. Keep in mind that this is a reflection on your brand and for your future customers it is their first sample of the quality and value you provide. As a result you want to give away some of your BEST information. If you give your new subscribers cheap or low value products and information, they have no reason to pay for what they will perceive to be more of the same. When you provide high value information as a free gift and continue to provide quality content through your auto-responder messages, you begin to build trust by establishing your expertise and you create a desire in your subscriber to obtain more of your content and a willingness to pay for the value they receive.

Join me for this informative topic covered in depth on my Internet Business Blueprint Podcost. Here are the show details:

james holmes radio photo1 294x300 Podcast Episode #103: Effective List Building Session One

James Holmes Featured Host

I invite you to join me Wednesday June 30th, I will begin a new series of podcast on the “Internet Business Blueprint” on Blog Talk Radio. This series is titled “Effective List Building” and it will be presented in 10 episodes.

List building is a crucial piece of the success puzzle when it comes to creating a successful Internet marketing business. The bottom line is clear, you need a list regardless of which business model you choose; information product marketing, affiliate marketing, direct sales or any other the other handful of variant models you have to choose from. The bottom line is to be successful you must place your message in front of your market with consistently.

There are a variety of channels that you can use to deliver your message, but few are more effective than a responsive double opt in subscriber list of buyers who already know you, like you and most importantly have grown to trust you. Once you have a subscriber list in place, you should plan to earn one dollar for every name on your list each month. Then if your desire is to make more money simply grow a bigger list.

I have been and will continue to focus on list building for the rest of my entrepreneurial career, both in my personal business and in the training, resources and tools I produce.

Listeners of the program will be given an invitation to subscribe for a free copy of my soon to be released book on list building – this will no a “free” offer as a reward to my loyal listeners. I hope you will join me for one of all of these special session.

Dr. Jeffrey Lant co-founded Worldprofit in 1994 and has served as CEO for 16 years. Anyone who has developed a Internet business that has brought over one-million associate members through it’s sales process certainly understands marketing and doesn’t need me to defend him here. However, I am annoyed enough by a few silly and unsubstantiated comments that I have read concerning Dr. Lant that I decided to shed some light here and perhaps vent a little.

Worldprofit was created by a group of home business experts to provide a turnkey solution to help individuals who desire to create a real and sustainable business online. Worldprofit uses a unique and one of a kind method to convert free associates to dealers or paid members and it is this method that has both made Worldprofit incredibly successful and Dr. Lant somewhat controversial.

First, let me explain their unique “Live Business Center,” which is supervised by live monitors 24 each day, 7 days each week (other paid members) and Dr. Lant himself. The advantage of their system to the prospective member is both transparency (the sales process takes place in plain site for all the world to see) coupled with a supported call to action – we all know that people often fail to take action.

So where is the rub? Dr. Lant can be a little rude, condescending at times and always impatient… this is just the truth, but he is equally committed, supportive, generousblatantly honest, motivational and a true marketing genius. YOU must draw your own conclusions when evaluating Dr. Lant as a mentor and Worldprofit as a busniness model for you.

Personally, I spent weeks actually investigating the facts about Worldprofit and Dr. Jeffrey Lant before deciding to join Worldprofit and I believe I made a great decision by doing so. I want to share my view of Dr. Lant with you, which I think you will find more useful than many of the cliche and unsubstantiated comments you will no doubt discover online.

Vince Lombardi Winning 300x236 Dr. Jeffrey Lant Is An Acquired Taste But Not A Scam Artist

“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.” …

“Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.” - Vince Lombardi, Coach Green Bay Packers

Dr. Lant reminds me of my freshman high school football coach who used to say some of the most rude, condescending and motivational words I have ever heard come from a leader… sound familiar? What I learned from my football coach as a young, talented, but undeveloped athlete forced me to grow beyond my own self-limiting beliefs… get the lesson here?

I could go on in volumes here – I think it would serve you far more to let the facts speak for themselves and I would encourage anyone considering Worldprofit to do their own homework, just as I have done. ALL of the FACTS you need are easily available online from the comfort of your home computer.

Here is a little guide to the factual claims and where to find the third party information to discover the truth for yourself.

Fact #1. Worldprofit is one of the longest standing e-commerce companies on the Internet founded in 1994

Fact #2. Worldprofit has been BBB Accredited by the Better Business Bureau since 11-10-2000

Fact #3. Worldprofit is the #2 home business (by pier group) according to Alexa with a Worldwide Ranking of 11,241

Fact #4. Dr. Jeffrey Lant is in-fact a Harvard Graduate (I confirmed this through the Harvard Alumni Association)

Fact #5. Thousands of people have made real income by applying themselves to Worldprofit’s “Millionaire Bootcamp” taught by George Kosch. many of these individuals have failed time and again for the lack of focus training and a supportive community, which they have found at Worldprofit.

John Wooden UCLA Winning 285x300 Dr. Jeffrey Lant Is An Acquired Taste But Not A Scam Artist

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

- John Wooden, Coach UCLA Bruins

My final bit of advice is that you read all that you find while investigating Worldprofit – the good, the bad and the neutral. Notice that the personal attacks on Dr. Lant tend to be extreme, childish and lack any real facts to back up their comments and claims – most people are smart enough to read between the lines.

My personal experience with Worldprofit has been very positive, I made money on my third day, have helped others do the same, have benefited from the ClickBank tools and other automated SEO and Marketing Systems included in the package to promote my primary business. I can honestly say that Worldprofit has over-delivered thus far and I have only scratched the surface.

Forums (new school) and Message Boards (old school) are among the most interactive of all membership websites. Forums are traffic magnets and they exist in literally thousands of niches, test me on this and you will find one in every niche that comes to mind.

Forums are membership sites that are designed to serve large groups of people who share a common interest and contribute to topics and comment on the comments of others known as threads. Threads are simply topics that members offer commentary, provide feedback and recommend resources through an evolving conversation.

There are many reasons why you should  participate in a few quality forums including; mastermind with successful online marketers, benefit from the experiences of fellow marketers, identify joint venture partners, share your ideas and much more.

So where does the marketing come in? As a registered member of a forum (typically a free membership), you are allowed to create a signature box where you can briefly introduce yourself and … here is the key …. add a link to your website or name squeeze page.

Follow these 10 steps to effectively market in forums:

1. Select forums that are in your targeted niche and only join sites where you feel you will enjoy being a contributor.

2. Think carefully about your signature box and be sure to link to a page that includes a subscriber opt-in form. This can be your blog or a squeeze page which includes an ethical bribe. An ethical bribe is a free offer of an item of value in exchange for the subscribers name and email address.

3. Introduce yourself to your fellow form members. Typically there will be a thread that prompts you to take this first step, if not simply start a thread and let the members know who you are and why you joined the forum.

4. Search the current and active topics, read carefully those that interest you and begin adding intelligent and relevant comments to a few threads. If you have an interesting idea for a thread … start it!

5. Be professional and demonstrate your expertise in your niche. The more narrow your area of focus the easier it will be for the members to identify your unique knowledge and expertise.

6. Be professional and friendly … avoid being controversial for controversy sake. But at the same time do not be afraid to be opinionated. Respond constructively to all comments addressed to you personally and avoid verbal duals.

7. Before pressing the “send” button, read your comments and make sure they add to the advancement of the topic and truly add value.

8. Do not “pitch” your products, services or business opportunities. If you have a solution to a problem that arises in the thread you can offer your solution.

9. If you have access to giveaway rights or better yet if you have your own products offer gifts of value such as e-books, Mp3s, videos, etc. The other members will appreciate your generosity and when they register to claim your gift they will be joining your list.

10. It is acceptable to market in forums, I promise that a large percentage of the other forum members are there for the same purpose, just be careful or you will quickly be labeled a spammer. Treat your marketing efforts much as you would in a social network – it is like being at a party… use your manners and good judgment!

Ready to get started?

Here are two forums that I recommend you start with assuming that you want focus on the Internet Marketing niche.

When used correctly pop-ups are a very effective way to get sign-ups for your mailing list from visitors to your site. A pop-up is a script that allows you to post a form or ad on your website or blog. When a new visitor arrives at your site the web-form or ad pops-up in front of a portion of the screen, this can alternatively be done when the visitor exits your site. I have found that the exist pop-up are less intrusive and better received by most visitors.

The beauty really is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to pop-ups and some view them positively while others find them to me a little annoying. Personally, I do not mind them as long as the information provided adds value. I also prefer to see them on exit – after I have viewed the information that I came to the site to see in the first place.

As with everything I teach, strive first to add value to the end user in this case the visitor to your site. Make an offer that in compelling, such as a unique digital product, subscription to a valuable newsletter, or a personal consultation. If you are trying to promote a specific product or business opportunity, offer something of value free that is relevant to the opportunity that you will eventually be presenting.

Remember that the primary objective of the pop-up should be listing building, not necessarily selling. Your readers will appreciate the value you give, you will then have an opportunity to develop a relationship with your subscriber and convert from prospect to customer or associate.

These scripts are considered to be stealth or viral methods of marketing and they are very effective. There is one challenge that can make it a little tricky to reach all of your visitors due to “pop-up blocker” that are a preference setting in most web browsers such as Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and others. There is little you can do about that, however, more advanced marketers can use “DHTML coded pop-ups” which cannot be blocked. I wouldn’t recommend this as it is a forced action against the wishes of your visitors.

There is a problem with traditional pop-ups you should be aware of as many people these days have pop-up blockers on their PCs. These are free and easily installed, so you have to make a little effort if you want to get around pop-up blockers, but it’s worth it for the boost to your list building.

Adding pop-ups to your sites is a very easy process and the task can be completed a variety of ways, you can use your autoresponder’s pre-loaded form maker to obtain the form code, you can use a web-based hosting service, or you can use the next generation po-up known as the Magic List Builder.

The Magic List Builder is unique in the marketplace as it allows you to place a pop-up on ANY website you chose. Here is an example of a few sites that I placed my personal opt-in form on. These are BIG, highly trafficed sites.

1.) CNN

2.) Oprah

3.) Mashable

I placed my personal opt-in offer using the Magic List Builder with just the click of a few buttons. What makes this particular tool so unique is your ability to place your pop-up on any site and do so without being blocked. From a marketing perspective you can place your pop-up on every site that you post on a social network or tweet. That is powerful!

Here is a check list for effectively using pop-ups on your sites:

  • Offer an item of extreme value such as a free e-book or special report in exchange for their email addresses.
  • Be sure that your pop-up has a clearly marked close option. Do not offend your visitors by forcing them to sign up to your mailing list in order to close the pop-up.
  • Leverage your keywords in your pop-up headline.
  • You will want your pop-up to load right away (or you can program it deliberately to fade in), so use limited or few graphics.
  • If you use these techniques, your pop-ups should be catchy and compelling and that should ensure that they help your list building efforts.

When done correctly, pop-ups can add a great deal of impact to your list building efforts. By following my advice here, you will be able to add tremendous value to your visitors and grow your subscriber list.
