I’m very, very excited for you to be reading this today because I’ve got a very important, very exciting announcement. So, before we get into the fantastic content, let me tell you the exciting news.
I’ve told you a few times in the last few weeks that I was working on a new project. I was also hoping to have launched it by now, but a few technical issues have delayed it all. But now we’re ready to go – and I want you to jump on board!
What I’ve been working on is a membership site called ‘Exponential List Building’. It’s a follow-up to my report ‘Accelerated List Building’.
Exponential List Building is a six month complete training course designed to take you from list building beginner to list building pro. My aim is that each graduate of Exponential List Building is able to build a list of subscribers that can produce four figures in sales from just one broadcast.
As a member, each month you will receive one training report revealing a technique I use in my business to add an average of 500 subscribers per month to my list. Not only that but I’m also going to be sharing some of the most powerful reports, videos and audios related to list building and online marketing.
I just know every member is going to love it!
We’ll be launching this Thursday 29th October at 12 midday EST (4PM GMT). Make sure you stick it in your diary and keep an eye out for an email from me on Thursday. There will be a massive discount running for the first 5 days – so don’t miss out on this!
Anyway, more of that to come on Thursday – but now let’s dive into the fantastic content.
This article is a simple, easily replicable system to begin your very own virtually automatic six figure business using tried and tested, proven online marketing strategies. Let’s do this in a step-by-step system, just like always.
Step #1
The Market
First you need to pick a target market. You should target a broad market with a lot of products to promote. Things like weight loss, dating, money making, health etc. Check the Clickbank marketplace to make sure there are a number of products you can promote.
Another option is to target a market that you understand or have a passion for. Understanding the needs of the market puts you in a better position to sell to them, and having a passion for the market ensures you never lose your drive or motivation.
You may want to use keyword tools to assess the demands of this market and the scope. Search for “Google keyword tool” for one of the most accurate and free tools.
Step #2
The Fundamentals
You need a domain, hosting and an auto-responder. You’ll need these throughout your online career. For hosting I use Bluehost.com and register my domains through them as well. For an auto-responder I use Aweber. There are cheaper options, but it’s not worth skimping and saving on the prices of these essential tools.
Without these tools you just couldn’t run a sustainable, automatic online business.
Step #3
The Free Report
You need to create a report that you give away to encourage visitors to part with their email address. The report only needs to be 5-10 pages. You can write it yourself, hire someone else to write it, compile a series of private label articles or simply use a private label report.
It’s important that this report oozes quality. You want your subscribers to know that you only provide great quality content. This report is the most important part of the process.
It’s important you write a report about a common and painful problem that a large portion of your market has.
The title of the report is important as well. It’s the first thing that sells your report. Which of these reports would you rather download?

Step #4
The Squeeze Page
We need a simple squeeze page now that encourages people to submit their email address. Here’s one of my squeeze pages that you can model yours on.

It’s important that you can get your squeeze page to confirm at a rate of at least 30% - although 40% is much better.
Step #5
The Opt-In Process
Once a prospect opts-in redirect them to a page which explains how to confirm their email address. Also present them with an offer for an affiliate product. This is one way to instantly squeeze some money from your subscribers before they’ve even began your email sequence.
Once a prospect has confirmed their email address, redirect them to the download page. After the download link present them with another offer for a different affiliate product.
These are just small ways to squeeze money from your opt-in process.
Step #6
The Follow-Up Sequence
The follow up sequence is where the real money is made.
You need to create a deep, cash producing follow- up sequence. This is where you schedule emails to go out on set days after a prospect has subscribed. The emails should include valuable, informative articles, as well as promotions for affiliate products. Even in the articles you can include subtle affiliate links.
Here’s how I set up most of my follow-up sequences.
Day 1: Top quality content
Day 2: Top quality content
Day 3: Promo
Day 5: Top quality content
Day 7: Top quality content
From then on I schedule emails four days apart with about 70% of emails being content and 30% promotions. Develop your sequence so that it’s very deep and goes on for at least a year. You don’t have to create a whole years worth of content before you start getting subscribers. Have a weeks’ worth of emails ready and just keep adding to them as time goes on.
Super Time Saving Tip: Many product owners offer their affiliates tools, including ready made solo emails and reprintable articles. Simply plug these into your auto-responder and you don’t have to worry about content creation.
Subscribers will continue to get emails until they decide to unsubscribe. Many will purchase a product from you. Some will purchase two, three, four, five or more. I’ve found that there are always four or five subscribers that purchase 80% of the items you promote.
You can find products that pay over $100 commission (or more) or you can find membership sites that pay commissions monthly to ramp up your profits.
Once you get a feel for the best converting offers, move them to the front of your follow-up sequence. Subscribers are more responsive the newer they are.
Step #7
Driving Traffic
Everything is set up now, it’s simply about driving traffic now. The more leads you pump into your follow-up sequence, the more money will drop into your bank account. It’s as simple as that.
This is the hardest part – yet without it you won’t make a penny.
That’s why I’ve created my Exponential List Building membership. Every month I’ll be delivering training to help you with this aspect. Each month you’ll receive a training report that, if you follow, will produce hundreds of subscribers for you every single month.
I’m so excited for you to see the fantastic content I’m delivering. So, add 29th October at 12 midday EST (4pm GMT) to your diary and make sure you’re online to take advantage of the massive introductory discount.
