Join me today and I will show you how to build a responsive subscriber list with relative ease. The key is knowing the best tools and even more importantly – how to use them.

List Building Doesn’t Have to be Difficult New and intermediate marketers operate under a false impression that the only way to build a list is to have a visitor opt into a subscriber form on your website or blog. Unfortunately this leads to a lack of action because they get stuck either because they don’t know how to put a web form on their site or they put the form on their site and do nothing more.

The long-term impact on the business of these marketers is a lack of sales. The longer you go without an organized and consistent list building strategy, the more difficult it will be for you to begin making real money online. If you read this blog post carefully and take immediate action, you will be on your way to building a responsive list with relative ease.

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 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:

Show: The Internet Business Blueprint Podcast

Web-Host: Blog Talk Radio

Chat Room Open: Yes

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!

I was cleaning up my in-box today and came across a questions I get at least once per week; “excuse me, are you James Holmes who wrote all those great books on Java Programming?”  - this guy is pretty famous! So I decided to write a blog post about the other James Holmes and answer the question in advance for future visitors.

The other James Holmes is an authority on Java Web development and has authored many books on the subject. He is a committer on the Struts project, and the creator of the most popular Struts development tool, Struts Console. Additionally, Oracle Magazine named him “Java Developer of the Year” in 2002 for his work with the Struts framework and Oracle J-Developer.

The other James Holmes is an independent consultant who employs his expertise consulting for complex transactional environments  whose clients include ADP, Bank of America, IBM, and UPS. James also provides training and mentoring services in addition to his regular consulting and speaking engagements. Like me… the guy is busy!

Beyond a shared love of the Internet… James Holmes is an accomplished endurance athlete competing in adventure races as a member of the Enduraventure elite adventure racing team. James also competes in road bike and mountain bike races throughout the Southeastern United States. I didn’t know this and had to smile as I am an elite amateur cyclist and compete in road cycling events… perhaps our paths will cross on the road one day.

I am thinking about inviting James on as a guest on my Internet Business Blueprint podcast, I imagine we would have a wide range of topics to discuss. Stay tuned!

I wish for you every blessing on your success journey!
