Hi I'm John C Vincent and Welcome To My Lens.
I'm a "Baby-Boomer" and my politics range anywhere from Liberal to Moderate to Conservative. I don't place myself in a "cubby hole", this I feel stifles thought.
I've been a single parent for a number of years. I have 3 children, a grown son and 2 girls ages 17 and 20 and I love them dearly. My life has been spent making their life, I hope, a little bit better.
My business life experience covers the gamut when it comes to Marketing, from Sales to Commercial Radio Broadcasting to Counseling others.
And now, I'm considered (he said modestly :-) an expert on "Opt-in Email Marketing"
Now It's Time For My Sermon lol
I want to impress in you the great Importance of putting list-building at the head of every business action you conplete online from this day forward.
Seriously, there is nothing you will do that is of more beneficial to you than getting people to join your Email list. NOTHING!
Because of the great implication of building your list, it is important that your every move be towards driving more people to your 0pt-in page.
And I mean, in EVERYTHING.
Write this down on a post-it note and place it in a spot on your computer:
"Everything I do must work towards list building."
Read this carefully:
When you hear or think or see the word "traffic" from this point on, think of directing that traffic to your 0pt-in/Squeeze Page as your primary course of action. End of discussion.
*Don't promote that affiliate link until AFTER you've gotten them on a list!
*Don't sign off your post at a forum with a link to a sales page. Point it to your 0pt-in page.
*Don't buy advertisements to promote a product or service or an offer - use ads to build your list!
The important thing that I want to stress is this:
Everything you do must work towards building a list. You have to have that mindset as you are growing your business. Ask yourself the question,
"How can I use what I am doing right now to add more contacts to my list?"
Promote your list. That's objective Number One.
ALWAYS.
And That doesn't change.
And once you build your list, don't be an "Offer Whore". This is the type of marketer who lures people onto a list only to promote a new offer every single day to unsuspecting people.
This is a big mistake and one that will drive folks to the unsubscribe link that's included in your email to them.
Offer value Free Of Charge and then every n0w and then, recommend, not sell a product or service that you truly find value in.
If you learn nothing else from me, learn this:
The real secret to getting staggering results from your email marketing is to make a difference in the lives of your list members by giving them something they can use.
This is what I've been doing for years.
When you provide valuable content and resources that your subscribers see results from, you won't be able to stop them from taking actions that make you money.
It begins and ends with your commitment level to them. It begins and ends with what you can do for them, not what they can do for you.
Seriously, you build loyalty by providing value to your subscribers. If they're able, they'll buy. If they can't buy, they'll participate in your project. They'll answer your surveys. They'll defend you at the forums. They'll recommend you when they can. They stay subscribed long after they've hit the "remove" link on other lists. They'll be loyal.
And you can't put a price on loyalty. Making money is on autopilot when you have your subscribers' loyalty.
Let me put it even more simply:
If it wasn't for my List, I wouldn't make ANY money or VERY LITTLE (pennies) money as an internet marketer AND there would be NO internet marketing Gurus if they did not have their Lists. Everyone would be in the same boat, looking for the next affiliate program or the next Over-HYPED program, searching for the secret bullet.
That Secret Bullet Is In The List.
