Thanks so much - it is great to hear exactly how you are doing things cause it makes everything a bit clearer. As for Mr. C.M. I got sucked in last week and downloaded one of his $0.00 products to resell and was part way through setting it up when I realized every bonus (and there were 4 of them)the package itself would be sending my buyers to his sites!! - not mine?? So, I deleted everything! I want to have my customers remain my customers. Thanks again, I am really enjoying the info. Harry Crowder Hey Robert,

Now that's funny. You don't even have to mention C.M's. name and everybody knows who you are talking about. I think his business is drying up day by day and he keeps grasping at different junk to sell in hopes someone new will buy it. Yes Eugene build you a list. You can start with no expense at all. You will be suprised, one day you will look at your list and wonder how you got so many people on it. Just do it. Can't hurt. Jim http://www.e-bookreprintrights.com Ha Ha. Now that's funny.

I remember in an earlier post you said you built web pages. What does that mean... do you do Flash, Frontpage, Dreamweaver? You could write some quick articles or tips talking about what you do... make some videos... Dreamweaver videos are big sellers... If you don't have a list you are missing out on so much. Take this blog for example. The other day I posted a new blog entry and didn't send a mailing to my list, just to see what would happen. 1 comment... I only got one comment to the post all day! Then I sent out a quick message to my list early this morning. 28 comments spread out over a few different posts. If I mention an existing product of mine to my list I can expect $100 within the following 24 hours. If I mention a brand new product to my list I can expect $1000 minimum within the following 24 hours. Eugene: Why can't you offer a product?

I love Robert's php tutorials, which is why I buy his articles. It gives me code I can modify to use in web building. I have no imagination, and no way to offer a product that I can market. Building client lists would be great, if I were in sales, but I'm not, I'm just happy to keep getting great tutorials on how to build things. I'm not a marketeer.

At least he puts his real name and address on those e-mails, so you could always filter out any message that contains his name. His AdSense templates do suck, and I have no idea why he keeps trying to get people to resell ipod movies... who would watch a 2-hour movie on a one inch screen? Plus, they're all public domain movies (because they are free) so you are stuck with films such as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." Yeah it's Cody.

Someone who unsubscribed is NO LONGER interested, and there is no need to tease the person. Much rather delete him/her and they come back later because they have missed your letters. :-) That C.M. wouldn't happen to be Mr. Cody M., would it? I know exactly what you mean. He has all his offers for $0.00 and recurring PayPal-payments. I guess one could write PayPal, but the problem is that he doesn't specifically violate any of their Terms of Service. I have written about his Adsense templates and they are really amateurish. Would go for my own optimization or a quick Joel C.-template any day. :-) Robert > Your comment is so true, and certainly I do the same.

Jim: I know exactly who you're talking about. At a Warrior get-together in NYC he came up in conversation, how he creates new lists faster than you can unsubscribe from them. Then about 10 minutes later I met him (big scary German guy). When you unsubscribe to a list of his he just moves you to another list and at some point was selling his list of unsubscribers. The way I have it, if someone unsubscribes from any list, it unsubscribes that address from all other lists as well. I probably lose a few people but I'd rather have a smaller list with very few complaints than a larger list with tons of complaints.

I think everyone has been turned off of most lists because after a very short time the list owner would send nothing but BUY ME, BUY ME type emails and no real valuable content. And please honor all your request to be removed from the list. I am dealing with one marketer now that will not take me off his list no matter how many times I click the remove link, and he has me on 4 or 5 lists. Can you say C.M. Thanks for the info. Oh and because of your no fluff content I own all your ebooks and videos. Jim http://www.e-bookreprintrights.com Hi Robert,
