Thanks for the comment although I’m not sure if you read my post thoroughly. I suggest you read it again and perhaps download my ebook.

Please realize that list building starts very, very slow. There are several basis that need to be covered. You no doubt have one or two platforms set up to which you can send traffic. But how much traffic do you get on your blog? The next step is to work on traffic if you are getting less than you’d like. You can read my post about “Get Traffic To Your Opt-in Form”

As mentioned by Alex and others, having your own product works the best for getting people to opt in to your list. I’m still working on mine and will report the results once it’s been out for at least a month. If the results are great I’ll do that sooner.

Have you tried giveaways? Article marketing, You Tube Videos?

Do all those things mentioned in my post cited above (I forgot to mention article marketing there) and find out what works best for you and then stick with it. It is still early in the game for you and me and the thing to do is to work at it and don’t worry too much about getting results right away.

What works best for me? Keyword research and SEO for traffic and commenting on relevant high ranking sites that Google likes.

I hope this helps.

Just thought I’d drop by to say hello and share my progress.

I’m still a newbie and I’m trying to put Alex Jeffreys ideas into practice, but so far I only have 5 people on my list, so I’d really like you to write about the techniques that have worked best for yourself.

Speak soon,

Thank you very much.

You hit the nail on the head. Goal setting will help me if and when I do it properly and consistently. I have been resisting proper goal setting and while I do it more than ever before it is still something that I have to improve on a lot.

Like Glenn says… you have great writing ability.

There’s one trick that may help you… Goal Setting. I know it gets a bad rap, but for some really wierd reason it works.

Determine how many people are currently on your list and then double that number. Write that new doubled number on a piece of paper in big black marker and also put a date two weeks from today.

Then look at that piece of paper a couple times each day thinking you’ve just got to figure out and do whatever it takes to get there.

Look at how your current names got there in the first place and look to some other ideas too.

As Les Brown says… “Set your sights on the stars and even if you don’t make it you’ll likely reach the moon’.

Goal Setting is my secret.

Hope that helps.

Great to hear from you. And thank you.

I’m trying to stay focused on what Alex Jeffreys is teaching us. I do review it often and follow everything I can. I’m not going as fast as I’d want but List Building is my focus. It is that of Alex.

I’d like to ask you to add one point to your comment on your next visit: The one thing that I consider the most important regarding list building. You can also add what works the best for you.

You since the invent on internet nowadays quite difficult for anybody to hide is reputation and what had he osr she been done in the past.

What I’m try to tell you is don’t blindly listen to a guru simply because he is famous. Look behind the scene and find out what he does for living.

If what the guru does is what you envision to do, by all means, listen to everything he says. Or else, that guru is NOT your guru.

I’m glad you like my approach. On this post and comments I invite everybody to share their views on list building and hopefully also things that work for them.

That way we can all learn together and help each other. Sometimes one good point can make a huge difference in the overall outcome.

Congrats on becoming an expert author. And please do let me know when your article on list building is out so I can read it. I now try to read anything on the list building subject.

Thanks for coming for a visit on my blog.
