Join me for an informative and value packed interview with James Stone founder of Leadgusher (which I will review here) and a variety of other online properties. James has been writing software and business solutions for the past 27 years.  I was first introduced to James by my friend Janet Legere and I have incorporated the Leadgusher system as one of my list building pillars. Leadgusher is literally a “set it and forget it” system that will pull organic traffic to your website as web-searches are made by prospects using the keywords you specify.

James Stone will share his story and tell us how the Leadgusher system was created, the methods that make it so effective at generating leads, the best methods to market the system, and how you can secure your free account and even make money marketing Leadgusher as an affiliate.

Here are the show details:

How does Leadgusher work?

Leadgusher is a listbuilding website that aggregates RSS Feeds based on the specific keywords or keyword phrases that you enter into the setup profile. In effect you create a keyword specific link directory to post in your niche, which in turn delivers organic results for your webpage to your target audience. But that is only half of story!

In addition to creating your feed directory the site also promote your primary business opportunity or recommended resource above the fold on your website. The branding includes a direct link to your primary website cloaked with anchor text that you select followed by a series of keyword rich headings. Your branding is prominent on the page and it will create redirects to your site and opt ins to your list.

How do you get started?

You begin by setting up your free account here: Leadgusher Free Account

The link takes you to the account sign up page where you also will be able to review a short video tour of the back-office.  You will gain immediate access to your free account and you will simply follow the set up instructions (one page of date to input…. fill in the blanks) and submit. That is it! Your RSS directory will auto populate and you are on your way to receiving traffic to your site.

Leadgusher does offer a simple lifetime upgrade for $49 – this is a one-time charge and entitles you to earn commission of $22.50 for every person you refer to Leadgusher that upgrades their account. These commission are paid daily through Pay Pal.

Here is how your new Leadgusher website will look branded for you and your business: Leadgusher Home Page

The more sites that you have on the Internet the greater your opportunity to generate consistent opt ins and sales. Systems like Leadgusher are designed to help you list build and create a secondary income stream while promoting your primary business. When you come across a system like this and there are a handful of good sites out there – take action, claim your account, get it set up and promote the site.

Keep in mind that if you set up your account and literally walk away from any further action, it will bring you leads – if you promote your new site, it will generate consistent sales. What you decide to so with the site is up to you.

In any event be sure to join me on Friday for my live interview with James Stone and find out all of the details and by all means ask a few questions. I look forward to having you join us!

I am here to help you succeed in your business and life!

Would you love to be standing in front of a huge crowd of loyal subscribers waiting patiently to engage in the community you are creating through your blog? The process is actually quite simple as long as you seek first to add value and deliver on your specific promises. I have put together five surefire strategies to ensure you become a crowd souring expert by following my actionable advice.

List Building Strategies #1. Make Your Content Relevant

One of the biggest mistakes I see newsletter and e-zine publishers making is writing about non-congruent topics that their readers may not be interested in. Sourcing a crowd of loyal readers requires a certain sensitivity to why your readers chose to subscribe in the first place – what was your promise?

I recommend surveying your readers from time to time and rewarding them for taking the time to respond with a high value e-book, audio file or video. Provide a few topics that you are thinking about publishing on and ask them for suggestions of the topics they are hoping to learn more about by being a subscriber to your list. This will provide a sense of ownership among your readers and you will inspire a sense of community among your subscribers.

List Building Strategy #2: Add A Subscriber Opt In Box To Your Blog

I know, this sounds like a fundamental step and you are correct – it is! It is surprising how many people actually fail to do this and many who do provide an subscriber opt in web-form do it incorrectly. Let’s fix that!

My recommendation is to offer the opt in in three specific ways:

1. Create a web-form using your auto-responder service so that your subscribers are actually opting into your primary list – not just registering to your blog list. The major auto-responder services like Aweber and Traffic Wave offer simple plug and play form creators and tutorials on how to do this in a few simple steps.

Once your web-form has been created it can be integrated anywhere on the site that adds to the overall functionality of your site design and navigation which usually would be on your side bar near the top of every page.

2. Offer RSS (known as “Really Simple Syndication” or “Rich Site Summary”) allows visitors to subscribe to a subscription to receive a summary view of your site containing your articles each time you post. The visitor opts into a subscription and can choose to either receive notification by email or gain access using a RSS reader. Here is an example of the RSS for my site AskJamesHolmes RSS

Most blog themes automatically integrate RSS into the design on their templates. However, there is an option to use a free third party service such as Feed Burner – my personal choice. You may also want to add an RSS plug in that will allow you to post a subscription form at the bottom of your pages or post.

3. E-Mail Opt In is an option but not one I would recommend as your primary method. The process is simple and involves subscribing your readers to your auto-responder by having your reader send a “blank e-mail” to a specific e-mail address within your auto-responder. By taking the action of sending the blank e-mail your reader is subscribed to that specific list.

List Building Strategy #3: Offer An Outstanding Bonus Or Gift

I always assume that I must provide exceptional value to my subscribers before I can expect to gain their loyalty to my list and I strive to deliver value through quality content, bonus offers and gifts.

It is critical that your gifts be given with the right intention, you are not trying to build a list of “freebie seekers,” so view these gestures as loyalty rewards – not as bait to gain their opt in. Now this is quite different from an ethical bribe, which is the gift you are giving in exchange for their initial subscription.

List Building Strategy #4: Use Free Viral E-Books To Gain New Subscribers

Viral marketing is powerful and using viral e-books will allow you to attract thousands of subscribers to your list by giving your books away. You can create the e-books yourself, heavily edit private label rights products, or claim a free subscription at Viral E-Book Explosion – this site will work for you.

So what makes theses e-books viral? The answer is comes down to the quality of the content and the number of relevant links embedded into the book. Be sure to provide recommendations for products and services that relate to the content contained in the text and place links to your websites, blogs, newsletters and affiliate programs.

When preparing your e-books for distribution, keep your primary goal in mind – you are using these tools to build your list not to make a sale. Be sure to promote your e-books to other marketers who can help you launch your book virally.

List Building Strategy #5: Use Pop Up Windows at EXIT

I have seen many bloggers use pop up opt in boxes with great effect over the last few years. I do recommend this method but I would only recommend using these scripts at exist. I am annoyed when I arrive at a website or blog and I am immediately greeted by a pop up subscriber form before I have even had a chance to derive value from the site.

Remember what I said at the beginning of this post – “I always assume that I must provide exceptional value to my subscribers before I can expect to gain their loyalty to my list…”

Deliver your pop-up after you have delivered value and make sure that your opt in offer, your “ethical bribe” is congruent with the content of your site. As I write this post, I am using “List Hero” on my blog – although that may change from time to time as I split test and revise my messages.

The exit pop up is an excellent way to deliver additional value to every visitor to your site and the process of setting a pop up on your blog is very simple.

I recommend the following:

1. List Hero – This is a turnkey solution, a complete system  for building your list.

2. AWeber – Build instant pop up forms with custom features.

3. Now Sell Script – This is more advanced if you need a techy solution.

So there you have it, a completely actionable set of strategies to engage your crowd of readers and build you list. Keep in mind that your purpose is to add value and build a community of subscribers that will grow with every visit to your websites and blogs. Chose one method and work with it through to completion, then add an second strategy and do the same. Over time implement all five and you l be well on your way to growth in your online business.

Be sure to leave a comment and let me know how this post has helped you and share an idea or two of your own.

I am here to help you succeed and wish you a blessed day!

From time to time I will share with you what is working now in my business now. Today, I want to provide a short review and recommendations for my top 5 viral list builders. I am actively using each of these in my business and have done the home work to prove they actually do work. To make it super simple for you to get startied building your list, I have included a link for a free account at each website.

#1. The Prosperity Marketing System

By using a self-funded proposal system you can greatly enhance your list building effort and often earn income even when a subscriber says no to your primary product, program or service. This is achieved when you offer extreme value typically using a well priced e-book, audio, or self directed training. Your prospect may eventually say no to your primary offer yet take advantage of what you have to offer on the front end.

The Prosperity Marketing System is a turnkey solution which provides your prospect with a free account included a video making the case for Internet marketing and access to select areas within the membership site. The system issues a series of  emails illustrating the value of a small upgrade of $27.95  (one-time) to gain full access to a three module training series and the ability to earn commissions by referring others to the system. The final step is complete ownership upgrade of $19.95 (monthly) and a license to band your primary offer within the system itself.

The system is truly turnkey – I have earned commissions and completed enrollments in  one of my primary programs (GVO) within the first week of using the system and have continued to do so to this day.

This system converts very well because are constantly looking to learn how to make money with Internet Marketing and the e-books that you get for free and will then pass along to your subscribers are have been carefully chosen to provide the more value than any other free offer I have seen. This is worth subscribing to and considering for use in your own business.

I have just created a new “7 Part Viral Marketing Bootcamp” that I am delivering by email to subscribers of my list. I have decided to post the first lesson here today and invite readers of my blog to sign up for the complete series. This is a high value series as viral marketing should be an essential component to your business business plan in 2010 and beyond.

Simply read and enjoy this first lesson and if you feel that it benefits you, click the link and the bottom of this post to receive the complete series of releases beginning on April 1, 2010 – you will received one lesson each day for 7 days.

** Note – your e-course will start with lesson one, but please be aware that it will contain a special link to download resources recommended to take action on each lesson. The lesson one resource is not included in this blog post.

In Lesson One let’s take a look at a few viral marketing methods:

The pure essence of a viable viral campaign is a willingness of those who receive your content to promote, forward, repost or bookmark your content without being provoked through an ethical bribe or other reward. However, your goal is to build your campaign in such a way that instructs the reader how to help their friends and associates by sharing the content provided. It doesn’t hurt to make it clear that your intent is to give the information way to as many people as possible.

In this lesson we are going to go over the different types of viral marketing tools (methods), so that you can become familiar with them.

Blogging: You must have a blog – period! Your blog should serve as the hub for all of your online activities including your viral marketing campaigns. You blog will serve as the launching pad for every viral marketing method taught in this course to a greater or lessor degree and is essential to your success online.

Blogs can be used to establish authority, gather subscribers, link to other online properties, attract a tribe of loyal followers and distribute all of your content including audio and video distribution.

Email: Sending targeted email messages to your list of subscribers or a purchased double opt in list is a very effective method for spreading your message to a targeted audience. The most effective method for delivering your email is through the use of an auto-responder on a regular basis. Be sure to always provide the recipient with an easy one click link to unsubscribe and only send email to those who have requested to receive the type of messages you are sending.

I recommend cultivating your subscriber list as well as your purchased list. Do not attempt to sell anything in the first couple of messages, give an item of value to them free of charge. You can offer an e-book, audio recording or access to a content rich video – strive to add value and build trust!

Newsletters: A digital newsletter is a natural extension to your initial email and blog posting efforts. Most professional auto-responder services offer newsletter templates that can be easily customized and distributed to your growing subscriber list with relative ease. The key to any good newsletter is the relevance of the content to your targeted niche. Your newsletter should be free, timely, informative and not over promotional. You should offer important updates, recommend resources, educate your readers and offer extreme value.

Mass Article Distribution: Write articles about your niche topic using keywords to target your readers, which increases the chances of having your content go viral . Be sure to develop a targeted resource or signature box including your website URL and contact information to be posted with your article. Grant  your readers with permission to re-publish and share your articles with others as long as your resource box remains with the article.

Niche Forums: Forums or chat rooms offer a very powerful platform for spreading your brand virally and developing a loyal community that will elevate your business to a entirely new level. At a minimum you should join and participate in one or two popular forums in your niche and become known as someone who adds value to the community. Be mindful of the rules that govern each forum and promote your business and resources within the established guidelines and do not post spam as this will destroy your reputation in the community.

In addition to participating in established forums, also consider adding a forum or chat room to your blog. In the beginning it may require a significant time investment on your part, but once a few active members emerge, you can reward them by making them a moderator and begin to share the work required to keep your forum going strong.

PLR E-Books: Private Label Rights or PLR can be used to create a valuable library of e-books to give away to your list. I would not recommend simply downloading a PLR product and giving it away without extensive editing and a method of capturing a maximum number of subscriber names and email addresses.

Be sure to select a title from a reputable resource that has braod appeal in your niche. You must read every word of the e-book to ensure that the content is consistent with your philosophy and intent. Be sure to edit the e-book as needed to include exclusions and additions so that the content represents you and your brand. In addition, you should add an about you page, a recommended resources page, and links leading back to your blog and other resources.

Control the delivery of your e-book by utilizing a squeeze page as your method of distribution of the e-book. This will enable you to capture the names and e-mail addresses of those interested in claiming their free copy of your e-book.

I recommend Sure Fire Wealth PLR (click the link for a free Silver Membership) as a excellent resource for quality PLR software that is easy to use.

PLR Software: There are many excellent sources for PLR software packages that you can test and then re-brand as your own. This is a great way to provide a resource with high perceived value with minimal cost and maximum return on your investment. Provide your software for free and encourage your subscribers to share the URL to your squeeze page allowing them to claim there own copy.

I recommend IM Buzz Software as a excellent resource for quality PLR software that is easy to use.

Website and Blog Templates: Design your own website or blog templates, include your own marketing information on them and give them away as free downloads or as an electronic package. Grant permission for recipients to pass them along as long as your viral banding information remains in tact.

This method allows others to utilize your content in on their website and blogs in addition to e-zines, newsletters and other distribution points which will result in the viral effect in spreading your content across the Internet.  This process can also be accelerated by utilizing a mass-submission tool to distribute your articles to numerous article directories through automation.

Niche Video Distribution: Video is hot! You Tube is now the number two search engine on the Internet and there are millions of users who watch, bookmark and share videos everyday. Regardless if you are posting videos to You Tube, sharing videos with a service like Video Forward, or posting video to your blog, video should be a central compnent to all of your viral campaigns.

Social Media Applications: One of the best methods to leverage the emergence of social media with your viral campaign is developing and promoting a flash game or other application with broad appeal.  The idea of creating a game application may seem overwhelming, a game came be created on a modest budget and can be a very effective list building tool as long as the idea is createive enough to attract a following.

This is a very advanced method and will require a financial investment for development and promotion to build momentum for your game. Once you develop a small following on one of the major social sites, you can quickly add thousands to your list. Consider a few recent examples including Mafia Wars, Farmville and others on facebook.

As we close this first lesson I want to touch on one of the main things that make starting a viral marketing campaign such a good idea. It is the simple fact that it costs a lot less to implement than traditional advertising and can be much more effective in a shorter period of time.

You will also want to keep in mind that viral marketing is just one basic components of your overall marketing plan. It should be linked with other strategies such as setting up squeeze pages to collect subscribers.

Once you incorporate viral marketing into your business plan, you will increase awareness about your business, generate fresh traffic to your websites, build a responsive and solid subscriber list and generate sales.

1. Viral URL was founded in October 2007

2. Viral URL has more than 63,000 active members

3. Viral URL has than 250,000 cloaked links in their system

4. Viral URL is a Link Cloaker, List Builder, Safe-list Mailer and Integrated Marketing System

5. Viral URL offers both FREE and Upgraded Paid Memberships

The services provided by Viral URL are ideal for Internet Marketers, Affiliate Marketers, or anyone that wants to cloak and track URLs for a variety of reasons. At the very least I would recommend signing up today for a free account and take a look at the marketing resources included in this system. In addition to being able to cloak all of your affiliate URLs and other links, you will be able to promote to your programs and track your marketing efforts to identify what is actually working.

In addition to discussing their businesses we also discussed several “best practices” and Colin and Frank both offered tips to help you grow your brand presence and financial results in your online business. I asked what the top users and most effective members of Viral URL are doing to generate opt ins to their list and generate referral commissions by referring new members, here are a few key points.

1. Consistently send high value email messages every three days

2. Don’t pitch and sell, instead brand yourself and add value to your market

3. Create splash pages and auto response campaigns to develop relationship with your list

4. Invest a little time reading member emails and take advantage of the credit links therein

In addition, we had a great conversation concerning viral marketing in general and innovations within the niche. This is a very informative interview and is worth your investment of time listening to the recording.
