OVBlogger: Blogging and SEO

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

If you’ve read my blog before, you know I work with the uncrowned King of List Building, Tellman Knudson.

I started working for him 2 years ago, and then, I had about 200 people on my list. I thought that was respectable. LOL What a dunce!

So, Tellman suggested I start list building by using co-registration. If you don’t know what that is, co-registration is a way for you to advertise your ezine, newsletter, special report, or whatever with a group of other ads. The co-registration service does all of the advertising for you, and you’re guaranteed a certain number of names and email addresses each month.

This is NOT the same as buying a list. Never do that because it’s illegal. You only want people on your list that ask to be there by opting in.

Even with co-registration, it’s a double opt-in process. Someone sees your newsletter ad, checks a box saying that they want to receive your information and he or she confirms the email address, as well. They want to be on your list. See the difference? Anyway, my favorite co-reg service is List Builder Pro. You should check it out, if your list is small.

What’s a respectable size? Well, you can’t do much with the big names, unless you’re talking 10,000 names or more. It takes awhile, unless you’re good at joint ventures, which are hard to set up, if you have no list, right?

Anyway, after two years of list building heavily (It should be your main focus.), I’m seeing the results.

I respect and honor the people on my list. I’ve been bringing speakers to them for my Blogging4Boomers teleseminar series, and directing them to some cool free stuff that will help them to move their businesses forward. I also do Q&A sessions twice a month. And I send them offers, but only for products I know are good.

Tellman was right.

Tellman is right.

If you’re not list building, you’re missing the boat. I just got a nice check in the mail today and that happens a regularly these days. Pretty sweet. Want yours?

Always be list building! Always.

My friend Charles says my new theme is dark and that maybe I’m going through a “dark” period.

Well, Charles, old pal… That couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m actually pretty light of spirit these days. Things are going pretty well, and it’s all because I watched one simple film called The Secret.

Ever heard of it?

Actually, another of my old friends, Stephen Ayer, who owns Traffic Roundup, put me onto it. You know, I don’t thank him enough. Stephen, thanks!

It was because of that one little movie that I took action. I did something so totally un-me-like. I signed up for a coaching program that was $500 a month! Something told me I had to do it. It was that little voice in the back of my head. Do it! You need to do it!

And I did.

And my life is far different from what it was 2 years ago. I’ve been working with some of the biggest and best people in the business. I’ve started a new membership site that I absolutely love. My members rock! And, I’m actually making this whole Internet business work.

You can, too. You absolutely can. But, not if you don’t…

Take action.

#1 Watch The Secret.

It will change your life… But… You still have to

#2 TAKE ACTION!

No big hand is going to come down from the sky and hand stuff to you. You won’t luck into anything. Your life will never change.

Not until YOU do something.

I see so many people with dreams and gargantuan hopes, and they never get it.

Do it!

#3 Always be list building.

It’s no Secret. You’ve heard it time and time and time again, but are you doing it? If you aren’t, you’re screwed. You won’t make any money.

Co-registration is great when you’re starting out. It can build your list pretty quickly. I like List Builder Pro and I’ve been using the service a couple of years now. I get like 250 people added to my list every single month for about $50. It’s well worth the expense.

It’s not the same as buying leads, so don’t confuse that with doing something illegal.

These people opt into my list from an ad for my newsletter, which they receive once per month.

And I build a relationship with them. I write to them almost every day. It’s that action thingy I was telling you about.

Let me know your questions about co-registration. I’ll be happy to give you the answers, both here and in email.
