This is a concept that’s challenging to embrace for some people.
Have you ever seen the old-school ad that shows two men riding the New York subway? They have the same face, but one man is dressed very well – an obvious success in life. The other is dressed shabbily and on his way to work a day labor type job.
The difference between the two? One reads the Wall Street Journal and the other does not.
This is the Gospel Truth . . .
I worked for two companies who sell essentially the same product and they began their businesses at the same time. Business A actually began with greater financial resources and the experience of selling millions of dollars worth of product through direct marketing. Business B started in a garage and without those resources or experience.
But business B recognized the power of partnerships and established relationships with other complementary businesses. He promoted his partners products to his prospect lists and they did the same for him. Business A refused to promote anyone else. For one he believed his product was so spectacular that nobody else was good enough. For another he had a lack mentality and feared losing his *prospects* to someone else.
Business A stunted his growth and as a result does about 1/3 the volume of business that business B now does.
The Moral of This Story
If you convert insanely well then you will get 5-10% of all site visitors to buy something from you. That’s great.
And then . . . there’s the other 90-95% who’ve come and gone. And that’s a missed opportunity. Instead of ONLY focusing on those people who join your list and / or buy from you, you want to get whatever you can out of that VAST majority.
What if you could get a penny – a nickel – a dime – a dollar out of each of those people who just come and go?
Or what if you could build credits that help you gain subscribers from people leaving OTHER PEOPLE’S sites?
My First REAL List Building Success
In my first three years online I built a list of about 890 subscribers. This was long before I figured out ANY of what I teach today.
THREE YEARS to achieve that.
Then a friend turned me on to a service where I placed a little code on my site and when someone left my page an exit popup appeared. The popup did 2 things for me – one, I received credits in the system which showed my co-registration offer on other people’s sites and two, it started to build my list FAST. In less than three months the size of my list doubled. And it kept doubling on autopilot.
Unfortunately the owner of the service decided to pull the plug after a couple of years. This thing REALLY WORKED.
Long story short, he’s revamped everything and planning a relaunch soon. Since I was so successful with the original version of his system he’s invited me as a beta-tester and also given me the go ahead to invite others to join.
Since this is a multilevel credit system (it’s free to join and use) getting in early and promoting it to your friends means you can start building up a lot of credits – and that means free subscribers.
Right now, I don’t know how this is going to fly with Aweber and the other autoresonder services. But based on my past experience this is something you want to get in on and run with.
