I think I may have misread the bit about submitting an email address. I submitted my email address as I thought it was specific to this topic. The response I got looks like a subscription to WPG so, I’ve probably duplicated myself on the list?

I am also getting rather disillusioned with the IM bunch. Although I never intended to get involved in the IM niche, one gets lured onto these lists whilst trying to learn as much as possible about IM in the shortest period of time. The result is that the same guys are continually trying to sell you the same crap.

Also, the majority of WSOs make me want to get sick! There are always the exceptions though – I’m on a few WPG members’ IM niche lists that I’m very happy with as they are not pushy.

I know full well that I need to build a list. So, I need to get more personally involved either with one of my existing blogs or a brand new one. My main struggle at present is to pick a niche that I am suitably knowledgeable and passionate about in order to succeed.

Looking forward to further developments.

i always enjoy reading your posts and always enjoy reading list building articles and posts in general because its such an important topic one that i know most marketers overlook

im maybe one of the minority but ive always loved building lists and and as you say “you either love it it or hate it” bit like marmite i guess which i think is sick btw lol.

i think one of the reasons why i take list building a lot more seriously is because i paid $297 for a list building course a few years ago which really taught me some powerful stuff. Back then i wasnt experienced enough to really appreciate the information and i have only started to implement the stuff from that course in the last 12 months

i always put myself in my subscribers shoes and try to think that if i got the information that im giving away for free would i find it valuable, and i def would so thats how i usually look at things and i often get emails from people saying they love the videos too which is always great to hear

anyway went through your report and it was really good, cheers mark

You know how I feel about this. After I essentially let my IM biz “go” in disgust over the way more and more people were going about their “business” in IM, I broke away clean for 2 years.

As I’ve come back now, I can see the IM niche for what it is, and I totally agree with you. The web is maturing into a place where “real” businesses – both online and off – can make a go of it with a solid plan, and a successful long-term strategy.

I believe you have the right message at the right time, and for once, I’m going to be on this train and on schedule as it’s leaving the station!

Having stepped away from the whole online marketing scene for the last year really gave me time to think about what was important to me if I ever became successful enough to pack in the day job and go full time online.

For me it all boiled down to honesty, integrity, working with people I like and most importantly helping people actually make money and not spending it on unnecessary rubbish all the time.

Many people I talk to these days have been burned so many times online that when you actually have the ability to really help them honestly they take three steps back and ask “what’s the catch”.

I’m really happy to see what your doing here and will follow on the journey to see where it takes us all.
