I was up late last night when the highly anticipated release of Alex Jeffreys latest ebook named Newbies Nightmare occurred. Believe me, all I wanted to do was to go to bed as I was so stinking tired.

But I knew this ebook was coming out and I wanted to read it as soon as I could. The Newbies Nightmare is a short 45 page ebook so I started reading it even though I could barely stay awake. I basically read the whole ebook with one eye closed but I couldn’t stop reading it until I finished. Yes it’s that good.

Hopefully this will be my last post using this theme. Not that I don’t like this theme it’s just that I’ve grown tired of it and I think it’s time for a change. This theme was actually a little hard to maintain. Some things just didn’t work right and I had to do too much coding to correct them. Hopefully I can spend less time coding and more time posting as this new theme is much easier to maintain. I’ve been pondering changing it for some time now but there just never seems to be enough time in the day.

Most online entrepreneurs believe that a website is all that is required to succeed. It’s true that a website gives you an identity on the Internet, makes you approachable to your potential clients, and eventually, becomes a source of income. However, there’s a multitude of sites on the Internet, and the probability of your website getting lost in this jumble is quite high. This is where list building becomes obligatory.

Studies reveal that almost 90% of the visitors to any squeeze page are merely curious onlookers. They neither have any interest in your subscription nor do they have any intention to buy your products. They are basically casual browsers, who have reached your site searching for something else. No matter what the studies say, I believe that every visitor to a squeeze page is a potential subscriber. You just need to work a little harder to convert these bystanders into your patrons.

Are you spending all your time watching videos instead of implementing the things that you learned how to do in the last video? If you fall into this category don’t feel bad, you are not alone. Video has taken the Internet by storm in the last couple years and there’s no sign of it letting up anytime soon. In fact, I’m sure it’s going to get much bigger in the years to come.

But beware, watching videos can be addicting. There are so many out there on sites like Youtube, Viddler, and Revver. You’ll also find them on blogs, links to them in your emails from marketers trying to sell you their products, and in membership sites.

When it comes to list building, there is no right way or wrong way. There are only tips, suggestions, rules and strategies. However, the irony is that none of the enlisted methods guarantee good results. On the basis of my experience, I can confidently say that list building is a perfectly scientific method, where you have to understand, follow and repeat a set of techniques. These list building techniques are neither conceptual nor magical. They are absolutely real, and if followed sincerely, they yield real results. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s take a look at them.

With the implementation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, permission-based list building has become a norm. For this reason, entrepreneurs spare no effort to make their email marketing campaign reliable, effective, lawful and profitable. However, one thing that most business owners tend to forget is that email marketing is not all about creating and delivering messages laden with invaluable information and attractive offers.

In fact, the entire purpose of an email marketing campaign is to perform the following tasks:

• To project you as an expert in your field of business.
• To create an environment of trust and confidence.
