The Basics of List Building which is being offered for free to anyone right now will be updated soon. However, the new updated version will no longer be free. The coming update is necessary because many changes have happened since it was first released.
List Building is just as important now as it ever was. In fact I believe that it is more important than ever because of the increasingly frequent Google updates that leave people and their sites unsure of their search results and ranking from day to day. The days of being able to rely on free traffic from search engines are forever gone.
No method or platform, including Facebook and other social media can be relied on in the long term to bring stable traffic to your site either.
You need to have a list of your own subscribers or leads to be able to create traffic to your site reliably.
My new List Building product will include the newest and latest list building methods. I have not decided on the new product release date or form yet because I don’t want to miss anything that people would like me to include in it.
This post is published mainly for 3 reasons:
1) To Let the Readers (that includes You) Give their Suggestions about what they’d like to see as a part of the New List Building course.
2) To Give Free Access to the New List Building Product to the Person with the Best Comment and Suggestions.
3) To allow people to Subscribe Now to Get a 50% Discount on my New List Building Product.
Everybody who will be a subscriber to the old version of The Basics of List Building, which is free, before my new List Building product is released will receive a 50% off the price of the new List Building product. I will email a coupon code or something similar to all at that time current subscribers just before the new List Building is released and they’ll be able to claim the discount. Get the free ebook now and get 50% off the new one.
Right now there is no cut off date so make sure you subscribe before it’s set. When my new product is close to being released, the opt in form to get the old and free ebook The List Building Basics will be removed and with it your chance to get the 50% discount.
I think that the above is a fair and excellent deal for everyone.
Now it’s time for you to start commenting and giving your ideas and suggestions.
Do your best to include these points in your comments:
a) What would you like to see included in the new list building product the most, the least.
b) What form should the product be in, an ebook, video course, other.
c) What would be a fair price for such product (include your favorite forms and prices for each or their combination) and how much are you willing to pay for products like this.
Be creative and add anything else you can think of that is not mentioned above.
Remember, the author of the best comment that includes the best suggestions will get my new List Building product absolutely for free.
Good Luck.

Hi Vance
List building really is something I need to implement myself.
I particularly like the point about readers being able to tell you what they want you to post about.

Hi Derek,
It will be a few months at least. The more input I get the better. What would you want me to include specifically in the new product?

Hi Vance,
First off I think list building is THE most important aspect of internet marketing. You’re absolutely right: we can’t depend on social media for traffic simply because we have be pushing it 24/7 to reach the levels of traffic we desire.
People always tell you “the money’s in the list” which to some extent is true, however I think the money’s in the relationship with our subscribers.
It’s building that relationship that takes the time, but when we have it we have it.
Unfortunately many people think that just slapping an opt-in form up and installing a (purchased) follow up series is enough. I know as I made that very mistake and my results were as close to zero as is possible. Sure I had the odd result here and there but long term…. Never!!
In what format would I like to see your update? Video is my favourite way of learning and teaching as we simply watch, pause and apply what’s being taught. I’d also like to have an ebook to accompany the video series so we can highlight areas we need to focus on or don’t quite understand.
What would I like to see included in the product? Personally I understand the basics but realise that others don’t. So I think the product should cover the basics of getting a list together, creating and placing an opt-in form on a squeeze page or web page and creating a successful follow series.
It would also be nice if you could include some guidance on the advanced level of checking our stats. Open rates, click through rates and seeing whether some people just grabbed the offer and never open another email.
These advanced levels are what so many of us need Vance, so we can see whether we’re getting it right or wasting our time on the method we’re trying to put in place.
Over the shoulder videos would be an excellent way doing this.
As for price… That’s a little difficult because we want the product to be available to the majority of people but in the same breath I think: How much do people want to succeed, if we want it that badly we’ll pay the price. Sorry mate I know that’s no help to you, just my thoughts.
Best of luck with your updates Vance. I’m not sure whether I signed up for the free report so will try and do so and see đ
Thanks Vance,
Barry

Hi Barry,
Thank you very much for the great comment. That’s exactly what I’m asking for. To create a product that you’d like to see will be a tall order but I’ll do as much as I can to include what you’d like to have in it.
So far I haven’t gotten the response I expected and that I was hoping for. In the last few months I’ve been getting so many spam comments that it takes me a while to sift through them and find good comments like yours. Akismet is catching thousands of them but more and more are also getting through it. That’s a big reason why I didn’t respond to your comment right away. I had to close commenting on most of my posts because the amount of spam comments was no longer manageable.
I think I’ll take a few months to finish the product. I’m getting even more busy than I thought I’d be and I don’t want to rush it. I also will want to get a lot more input then what I received so far. More comments like yours are what I need.
I want the product to include as much of what people need and want as possible.
Thanks for signing up. I’ll be sure to give you a discount when my new list building product is ready.
Cheers,
Vance.

Hi Vance,
Sorry for the delay in getting back here to your comment.
With the spam comments you’re receiving Vance, have you tried using GASP?
It places a check-box beneath our comment area that has to be checked before a comment is submitted. This really puts a stop to the spam bots.
GASP also comes as part of Commentluv Premium but there’s a free version as well Vance:

I’ll try and get a few more tweets and mentions out and see if I can get some people over here for you mate.
Speak soon Vance,
Best of luck mate.
Barry

Hi Barry,
Thank you very much for the suggestion. I will definitely look into it because the amount of spam I get is getting ridiculous.
Thank you also for the tweets and mentions on Google+ and elsewhere. I appreciate it very much.
Cheers,

Itâs building that relationship that takes the time, but once we’ve got it we have got it.

Hey Vance!
Just stumbled upon your blog.. and signed up to see what your list-building is about.
I definitely agree with you that we should never depend on one traffic source.
Diversify!
