Also, I am building a subscribers list from optins. When someone makes a purchase I wanted to add them to a buyers list. I was going to have the autoresponder automatically delete them from the optin list so they would not get double email at times. Is that a good idea? Your attitude has finally gotten me into motion and I now have 3 products with freebie offer squeeze pages and an upsell offer. I also have WSO pages ready to go but found out I have not made enough posts to place a WSO yet. Will get that taken care of right away. I am also changing the page backgrounds to your paper template as soon as I figure out how to edit the css page. I am strictly a HTML person. Robert,

I like the sequencing idea, especially when you have sublists. Blending content with offers isn't really hard, as long as what you're offering has anything to do with why they are on your list. If it's not, then that's a whole different game; I think you really have to know your niches and what you're sending to them, to make sure it's on target. Otherwise you will lose both credibility AND subscribers -- neither one what you want. Nancy Hi Robert,

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.
