If you did not add your question to the survey yet and even if you did and have another please go and tell me what your most important question is on list building. This will help me get seminar topics and information in here that each of you want and need.
=====> Survey Question
This week’s question
I’m steadily giving away the OMC but am getting no rebranders. Any hints on how to further encourage people?
First to the questioner congratulations on using the system. The number of people that will rebrand will be dependent on how active they become within what is taught. If you are following up and getting them to the seminars, making sure they see the newsletters referring them back to the book, etc that will help your conversion.
Not everyone will see the value on first glance because a lot of people are looking for the magic button they can push for instant gratification. The though of actually putting together a system and using it to build a list, while effective isn’t sexy.
The more though that YOU build the relationship with your list the better your conversion will be. The real power of rebranding though is to give you the top item of your funnel - the free entry point. Some that don’t rebrand will still use the recommendations in the book and use your links for the various programs.
More importantly, you are building a list that will allow you to market many other things to in a tell - don’t sell fashion. That is where the real power is in the back end as the relationship between you and your list becomes stronger.
Rating Site
I have changed up my blog The Old Bald Guy to allow readers to rate the various reviews I place there. It uses a plugin called Rating Dominator that will allow any visitor to comment and rate the review from 1 to 5 the way that I set it up.
This can be an effective way to set up what Russell Brunson calls affiliate landmines that people can just run into and generate a sale for you days, weeks or months after you did the work. Check it out if you are looking for another way to add revenue to your business in an ongoing way.
Are You Leaving Money on the Table?
OMC is a great educational resource, and anyone who wants to learn how to build a professional mailing list is welcome to use this service at no cost what-so-ever. But the real power of this system is the explosive viral potential of our rebrander option.
Remember, when you make the very wise decision to rebrand your copy of the Opt-in Master course, you’ll earn $27 every time you sell a rebrander package to another marketer. This payment will go directly into your paypal account. I never even touch these funds.
Plus you’ll be able to insert your own referral IDs right into your own copy of the Opt in Master Course before distributing it. So anyone you give the free course to will join our recommended programs list through your referral URLs!
There are currently 23 programs in the Opt in Master Course that YOU can earn viral traffic and affiliate commissions from. Even more great programs will be added over time.
And of course as a rebrander you’ll have access to six list-building splash pages and your own OMC sales page that sends prospects straight to your auto responder after they request your customized copy of this course. Open up your copy of Opt in Master Course right now and click on the ‘Make Money w/this Book’ link to learn more about becoming a rebrander.
We have also added the special seminars just for rebranders to add even more value for our rebranders.
Thanks for your support and we are here to help you build a profitable list.

Future Seminars

This will allow me to focus Tuesday night on a seminar for upgraded members of both programs. Just a thought at this time but I would love your comments.
Also while discussing the seminars I have started a Squidoo Lens on list building called Turbo Boost Your List. Stop by and check it out. If you are a Squidoo member feel free to rate it. By the way see if you can recognize the land mines built into it ;-). There are more than one there.

Question of the week
This section will take the place of the article. Here is the question that was asked.
My biggest concern is SPAM complaints. I’m really nrevous about sending emails because people forget that they ‘opted-in’ for something. So when I send an email from MY opt-in list,
the person geting MY email yells ‘SPAM!’ and I GET THE blame for doing NOTHING WRONG. THIS is what has held me back from ‘moving on’. How do you SAFELY send emails from a list that has
been built??
This is a great question and the number one reason to use a quality autoresponder service.
If you have built your list using a quality auto responder then this is not an issue. They keep all the records of the opt in, the date and ip number. When someone does complain they have all the proof to show that the spam complaint is not valid.
Follow the rules and make sure that each email has an unsubscribe link and legitimate contact information and your auto responder service will deal with the complaint and you can sleep well at night.
This is the big reason why using a quality auto responder service like Email Aces or Aweber is so important. Not only will your delivery rate be better but your can have peace of mind too.
Just my opinion. Disagree? Leave a comment.

Commentary of the week
This section will take the place of the article. Normally I would answer a question here but none were submitted this week. Please submit your question by clicking the survey questions
below and I will answer them in this section.
Why don’t people take advantage of offers?
Okay be warned this will be a bit of a rant. If that bothers you then please skip this. You have been warned. By the way please submit your questions to be answered here. More
questions get submitted rants will be less ;-).
begin rant
If you have been reading any of my newsletters you know that I use Squidoo quite a bit. It is a good way to get your sites some traffic and back links. This is interactive content at
its best. Now Squidoo has a base PR of 6. This means that links from Squidoo can be a definite help.
Well I always offer free links on the lens to members to THEIR home page or affiliate program through the links plexos there. For example on the Affiliate Funnel lens every member has
the opportunity to add their home page, their blog and one of the traffic exchanges with THEIR referral id on the lens.
This takes a few minutes and creates a one way back link. This can be a great help but with a membership of about 3900 their are less then 10 links on the lens in any category.
Now this is not just Affiliate Funnel but other programs I do this for too and the results are always the same. Makes me wonder if I charged for it if I would get more participation
because the value would be higher.
end rant
Just my opinion. Disagree? Leave a comment.
