My friend and GVO associate Gerry Schroeder has put something together that he knows is really SIC! It is a brand new membership site called “Second Income Coach” and it launched on July 5th and it is going to be a huge hit! When Gerry showed the site to me, I knew that I could recommend it to my readers and podcast listeners without hesitation.

I am pleased to welcome Gerry Schroeder as my special guest on the Internet Business Blueprint Podcast 9th on Friday July . During our interview you will learn about Gerry’s amazing track record online and the story behind Second Income Coach. We also will explore how Second Income Coach can help you learn how to succeed online.

So what is Second Income Coach?

Second Income Coach is a site dedicated to anyone who wants to be a “Ten-Thousandaire” – yes, I said ten-thousandaire. Every day literally thousands of people log online searching for a solution to add an additional $1,000-$5,000 per month into their household budgets. They are looking for a second income, a plan-b, a real road map to solve budget problems and improve the quality of their lives. That is what Second Income Coach is designed to do.

Second Income Coach is not a “primary business opportunity” it is a funded proposal that will help you explode your primary business. A funded proposal is a sales funnel that allows you to pre-sell yourself (personal branding) and your opportunity by selling a low cost information product to your prospect to develop trust.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Warrior Forum is recognized as the most authoritative forum on Internet Marketing. Follow the link below, sign up for your free account and introduce yourself to the community.

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.

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

When: Friday June 11th at 1:00 PM EST

Web-Host: Blog Talk Radio

Show Page: http://www.JamesHolmesRadio.com

Call In Number: 1 (646) 727-3058

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!

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.
