Killer List Blueprint
Introduction: The Most Important Chapter of this course
Hi there. Thanks for downloading my report. You just made a wise move,
because I’m about to show you some very practical ways to build a responsive
email subscriber's list. And with it, a permanent income stream for you. But
before I jump into things, I'd like to tell you one thing, you should listen to this
carefully- this introductory section is the most important part of this report.
Let me repeat, this introductory section is the most important part of this
report. So, please pay attention. Try to grasp everything I discuss here. If you do,
list building would be a “no problemo” thing for you.
Listen, when I started to build my own list back in 2009, I went through several
courses to master the techniques and to jump start my List building efforts. The
courses were from very successful Internet marketers. Some of the courses were
video courses, and some were just reports. Every angle of list building methods
and strategies were discussed in those courses. However, I noticed one thing
common in all of the courses. Almost half of the course materials were dedicated
to a motivational purpose, to motivate the readers on list building rather than
teaching the readers different list building methods. That means that they spent
half of the course to motivate the readers to stick with the techniques they are
going to teach in the latter half of the course. In a 12-part-List-building-video
tutorial, I noticed that the first 5 of them were motivational. They utilized all their
2/34
Killer List Blueprint
experience, all their enthusiasm, and all their wits to motivate us towards
building an email list.
Sales funnels, JV giveaways, Solo ads, product launches, etc. are some of the
proven list building methods. But no methods will build us an email list of
subscribers, unless we go for it, unless we take actions, and unless we stick to
our actions. How are we going to stick to our actions? We have to be focused
enough; we have to be motivated enough to stick to the list building process.
So, what could motivate us the most? Well, they knew it all right! Money, what
else! It is the most powerful motivator of all time. It is true for almost everybody.
That's what they were trying to do! They were trying to convince us that there is
money in the list. And if we can build one, we could earn money from it.
In most List building courses, I noticed an almost identical introduction. First, the
writer or the coach will introduce himself or herself. Then they will share his or
her life's story – the story of that time when they hadn’t started list building and
making money. They would mention their financial and general condition and
their social standings with examples.
Why? Why did they bother to share their lives with us? Because they wanted to
show us that they were at the same position as we are now. To show us that they
were not super humans, but rather ordinary human like us; who made mistakes,
felt frustrated, and felt lost. Still, being an ordinary human being like us, they
3/34
Killer List Blueprint
could build a list and make money. Why it would be different in our case? They
did it from scratch, and we can too!
Next, they would discuss how they started their List building; their initial
successes and failures; how they were further motivated by their first successes,
and how they overcame their failures.
Why? Because, we will be experiencing the same successes and failures if we are
going to build our list. They discussed the exact incidents that are going to take
place in the case of our own list building efforts.
Next, they would show us some proof of their earnings from their subscriber's
mailing list. Not only that, there would be examples of their students, who are
successful list builders by now, and are making money from it. This is a very
interesting and highly motivating move. This is when most of us decide that we
are going to go for it.
So, as you can see, we can build a money-making list of our own if we try. But
there are conditions. They have indicated those conditions in his or her life
stories. The purpose of sharing their life stories with us was merely an attempt
at pointing out the conditions related to our list building. Their point was
“unless we fulfill these conditions, we cannot be successful building a list." So
let's see,what the conditions are that we can summarize from these life stories:
4/34
Killer List Blueprint
Condition 1: We have to convincingly believe that a list of subscribers will make
us an income stream.
Condition 2: We have to believe that, like Tom, Dick, and Harry, we too have the
ability to build a list.
Condition 3: We have to take list building as any other business where many
obstacles may arise, and we have to be determined enough to overcome them.
Fulfill these conditions, and we can build a list of 100 subscribers very quickly.
Stick with the process, and our list will reach 5,000 subscribers in no time!
So are we ready to start our list building? Are we ready with these three
conditions? If yes, we'll move forward together to our success.
Note: Many terms may seem unfamiliar to us if we are just starting out our
Internet marketing journey. We may not understand many words while going
through this report. Don't bother and just go on! We are going to grasp every
term by the time you reach the end of this report. Don't let a small obstacle stop
our journey to success. Alternately, we can always Google any term to know
what it means!
So, what are we going to get from this course?
5/34
Killer List Blueprint
Firstly, we are going to show you some simple list building techniques that just
about anyone can do, but more importantly, they are DEADLY effective when it
comes to having a responsive email list, and building an online business.
Secondly, we are going to show you how you can build a list in 90 days that will
earn you at least $3,000 per month. That means, if you follow this course and
put into practice what is said here for 90 days, you will be able to build a list that
will give you at least $3,000 per month, and your earnings will grow from there
with the numbers of your subscribers.
I know; you are thinking: “would it be possible for me to earn $3,000 per month
after 90 days?” Yes, it would be possible. Just get the list built, and the money
will roll in. It is that straightforward. It is simple math! I am going to show you
right now how simple it is.
Let's say that our target after 90 days is to earn $3,000 in one month -- so we
have to earn $100 per day.
Let's say that we have a product that gives us a $25 commission per sale. Yes,
yes; I know we don't have any product right now. But let's assume that we have,
because we are going to show how we can have one in this very course! Now,
we have to make four sales a day to earn $100 per day as commissions from our
6/34
Killer List Blueprint
product.
If the conversion rate of our product is 1%, (that means our product makes one
sale in 100 clicks), our offer will need 400 clicks per day to make four sales. Now,
if only 10% of the total subscribers of our list click to our offer, we have to have a
list of 4,000 subscribers. So, you see, we have to build a list of 4,000 subscribers
to make $100 per day or $3,000 per month. Is it possible in 90 days?
Okay, to build a list of 4,000 subscribers in 90 days, we need 45 new subscribers
per day from our sign up form (opt-in form) at our site. At a 30% opt-in rate, we
will need 150 targeted visitors per day to get 45 new opt-ins per day! Simple!
Does it seem impossible to us now?
Let's Grasp the List Building Process
You see, there are only two basic parts involved in the list building engine. They
are:
1. Traffic and
2. A Sales funnel
We have to attract traffic in and drive them out through our sales funnel. That
would build our list, and make us money. We are going to make money while we
are building our list; i.e., building a list and making money simultaneously! Then
7/34
Killer List Blueprint
we are going to utilize our list to make money repeatedly. That's true. We will
make money out of our list, as long as they keep our subscription. But first, we
have to understand what a sales funnel is and what it does. We will discuss the
methods of driving traffic into a sales funnel after that.
Sales Funnel
If we want to keep it simple, we can say that a sales funnel is nothing but a series
of web pages. These web pages are arranged methodically one after another,
interlinking with each other. If the traffic passes through the pages, they
transform from random prospect to qualified leads and finally, to buyers.
Say some web visitors visit the 1st web page (squeeze page) of our sales funnel.
At this time, we can call them “random visitors.” If they go to the 2nd web page
of our sales funnel passing through the 1st page, they are no longer a random
visitor. Their interest on the issue on the 1st page drove them to the 2nd page,
and turned them in to “leads” or “prospects” to us. By the time they reach the
3rd page of our sales funnel, they would become our “buyers,” because we
would put some products on our 2nd web page of our sales funnel. They could
not go to our 3rd web page, unless they buy that product. The interesting thing
is our buyer bought one product from us so far, but we captured their email in
the process. Now, we can send them emails with our other offers, our own or
affiliate, any time we want.
8/34
Killer List Blueprint
Below is a step by step example of how sales funnel works.
We are going to discuss how we can set up a sales funnel for us that is similar to
this right ahead.
The sales funnel is a series of inter-linking web pages. But there must be some
important and interesting elements in these pages that would entice the visitors
to visit one page after another. We must prepare these elements before we put
together a sales funnel. The elements needed are:
1. A free giveaway product
2. A product to sell and make money
3. A series of pre-written emails
4. Services of an email auto-responder company and
5. Services of a payment processor
9/34
Killer List Blueprint
1. A free giveaway product
This product can be a report on a specific issue of Internet marketing, a video
tutorial, or it can be software that solves specific problems. If a visitor is
interested in learning specific things and getting it for free, he or she generally
jumps for it, giving away their name and email address. And that's the exact
thing we are trying to capture; their names and email addresses.
2. A product to sell and make money
After we get the name and email, we place this product in front of the visitors to
buy. Some of them buy immediately, and some decide not to buy at this point.
Note: We will discuss how we can make the products we need for our sales
funnel.
3. A series of pre-written emails
We have to prepare some strong, motivating emails that discuss the benefits of
our paid product. We are going to send these emails to the people who did not
buy our paid product the first time we placed it before them. They may change
their mind after learning the benefits through the emails we sent.
4. Service of an auto-responder company
An auto-responder is a compulsory tool for every list builder. An auto-responder
is a software database for email and an email list management system. We keep
our list of subscribers in this account. It collects and manages the sign-ups for
10/34
Killer List Blueprint
us. We can set a pre-written email sequence to send out to our subscribers with
the auto responder. Despite the pre-written email sequence, we can send a
special email called “broadcast email” with our offer any time we want.
We have to pay monthly fees to use an auto-responder service. This is the only
monthly investment we have to carry in this business model. Charges are
different for different companies and vary from $10 to $20 per month initially.
There are many auto-responder companies on the market. Aweber and
Getresponce are the two best, in my opinion. I use both, but prefer
Getresponce over Aweber because I can buy some cheap leads from
Getresponce that converts well for me and makes a few bucks! Moreover, there
are some excellent training videos in the member area!
5. Service of a payment processor
We will need a payment processor to get paid for our products. We need a
payment processor, so that we can put a clickable link for “pay now” on our
product pages for our visitors. We will use PayPal for this purpose because it is
internationally accepted and easy to use. Therefore it is important to create an
account with paypal.com if we do not have one already. There are categories for
the accounts at PayPal, depending on the purpose. We need to pay or receive
payment. So we need a “Business account." However, a basic account could be
upgraded to a “Business Account” any time needed. There will be easy
instructions of how to generate codes for “pay now” buttons in the PayPal
dashboard. All we have to do is follow instructions to generate a “pay now”
11/34
Killer List Blueprint
button code and place it in appropriate places on our web pages.
How to create Give away and paid products and the
Pre-written Email series
We need a product to give away for free in exchange for the emails, and we
need at least another product to sell to them. Let's say, we offer a free report on
“How to build an email list fast” in exchange for their emails. But if they find the
report not intriguing, they will “unsubscribe” from our list as soon as they finish
reading our report. To keep them on our list, we should make them think, “Oh,
yes, I can build a list and make money with this!” The same goes for the product
we are going to offer to them to buy.
If we are just starting out the journey, my advice is to pay the experts in the
relative fields to create the products. It will cost us $200 to $500. We can find
someone on oDesk, Elance, or the Warrior forum to make our products.
But there are ways we can put together a report for free as well. W90e need to
spend a bit of time, and do a bit of research for that. First, we are going to find
some contents on the subject from the web. We can find many places with such
content from a Google search. We have to go through them to make a complete
12/34
Killer List Blueprint
picture of a subject and then we have to write our own report from the findings.
It doesn't have to be a very long report! 20-30 pages will be enough!
An easier option will be to buy a Private Label Rights (PLR) report similar to our
subject, and then rewrite it to make it unique. http://www.idplr.com ,
http://master-resale-rights.com and http://plrplr.com/ are some of PLR sites.
There are many sites on the web that sell PLR products. We can acquire a report
or two for $5-$10. A piece.
Making a unique free giveaway product that has some value is the key to list
building. We are expecting names and emails in exchange for this product. This
product is compulsory for a sales funnel.
The product that we want to sell to our list will have to be on same subject as
our free report. It may be an extension, a step by step tutorial, a video tutorial, or
software that supplements our free report. This product is called a “one-time
time offer" or "OTO” in the sales funnel. We cannot compromise with its quality if
we want to make some money out of it. We can write a free giveaway report
from scratch, but making a product to sell is a different issue. We would advise
goinjg to an expert to create our first paid product. Like I said, it may cost
between $200-$500. We can be assured that we can earn many times more
shortly if we invest this amount initially. Experts can be found on the places like
oDesk, Elance, the Warrior forum, and marketplaces similar to these.
13/34
Killer List Blueprint
We recommend that we obtain our own product to sell to our list. We can
maximize our profit by taking the full advantages of our subscribers. But we can
place an affiliate product there to sell as well, if we are short of investment right
now to create our product. In that case, we have to find a product from the
market related to our free report. The owner of this product is somebody else,
but we can place it on our thank you page and make an affiliate commission on
any sale.
There are many places that we can find a similar affiliate product of high value.
Click Bank, Digiresults, Warrior Forum, Rap Bank, and JVZoo are a few popular
places. Just find a related product from there, and become an affiliate. We have
to place the product on our web pages with the affiliate link to make a
commission out of the sale.
It was mentioned earlier that we need some motivating pre-written email
sequence to place in our auto-responder. We can make our pre-written email
sequence via the same method we use to create our free and paid products.
Now we know about the elements that are needed in our sales funnel. Let's get
to the web pages of our sales funnel. The web pages we are going to make
initially are as follows:
1. A squeeze page
2. A thank you page with OTO and
14/34
Killer List Blueprint
3. A product download page
1. Squeeze page
Check the picture below, it is a screen shot of a Squeeze page.
What do we see here that is important? A web page containing a beautiful
picture of a tropical sea beach in the background? Okay, this is important too!
The eye-catching background gives us a pleasant experience, changes our
mood, and maybe entices us to visit those kinds of places! But the center of
attraction is the rectangular box hanging in the middle of the picture with some
easy to understand text written on it. The message is very clear and to the point.
It says, take this report for free! Yes, for free! Free for you if you are interested in
learning about the list building system. Well, leave us your email here so that we
can deliver the report. We are also going to send you a series of related content
15/34
Killer List Blueprint
that will supplement this report and your list building efforts.
Effective Squeeze page Tips
Use simple and basic design
Use a simple auto-responder web form
Start with an intriguing headline
Provide benefits in bullet form
Include a specific call to action
Include an image of a free giveaway product
Add an introductory video
Guide the visitor with an arrow mark
Include a “Disclaimer” and a “Privacy Policy”
We do not have to add all these features in one squeeze page, but only what is
needed. We can discard many features if we add an introductory video that
describes the benefits of our report.
2. Thank you page & One-Time Offer (OTO)
The Thank you page is another web page like our “Squeeze page." We send the
visitors to this page immediately after they agree to take our Free Report and
16/34
Killer List Blueprint
give us their names and email numbers at our “Squeeze page." The page is
meant to thank them for downloading our report for free. We also thank them to
give us the opportunity to send them additional tips on list building.
One-Time Offer (Instant money maker)
By this time, we already gave away our free report and captured their emails. We
also thanked them at our “Thank You page” for downloading our free report.
Here, in this very thank you page, we are going to offer our paid product with a
discount. We sell this at higher prices at other places. This offer is called a
“One-Time Offer” or OTO. They can see this OTO only once. If they take it now,
they will get it at a discounted price. If they don't, they will lose the opportunity
to buy it at a lower price. Conversion of OTO into sales is much higher because
of the psychology behind the process. Placement of the OTO on the “Thank you
page” gives us the opportunity to start earning right after our visitors decide to
grab the free report at our squeeze page.
We need a convincing sales letter for our OTO product. We can outsource our
sales letter or create it for free at saleslettergenerator.com.
We should also familiarize ourselves with two terms, upsell and downsell, that
will come in handy at the next stage. An upsell page is a web page with our
payment processor, where a visitor can purchase one of our products. If they do
not buy it on the upsell page and try to move away, they are redirected to
17/34
Killer List Blueprint
another web page called the downsell page. Here, they can purchase the same
product at a reduced price (and possibly with reduced features).
Here is a screen shot of a Thank you page:
3. Product Download Page
This web page is the web page where we keep the link of our product to
download. The visitor is sent here if they buy our product at our thank you page.
They can download the product immediately after they make the payment at our
thank you page. Here is an example page:
18/34
Killer List Blueprint
Many visitors can opt not to buy our OTO product at our thank you page. But we
can place our product in front of them many more times. We will send them a
series of emails telling the benefits of our product with a link to buy our product.
Now, our simple sales funnel is complete with these three simple web pages, a
squeeze page, a thank you page, and a product download page. Driving traffic
to our squeeze page will build us a list at the same time as making us some
money. We will discuss a killer sales funnel strategy later in this report.
19/34

How to Design Our Web Pages
Our Squeeze page is the most important element of this business model. It is
our greatest tool to convert our visitors into our subscribers. So, we recommend
you go to a professional to design your squeeze page if you have some money
to invest. But there are tons of free ways to get an effective squeeze page if we
do not want to invest money at this point. We are going to discuss the two best
ways to generate a simple squeeze page.
Free Template
Don’t be fooled into thinking that we need to have web design skills to develop
a squeeze page. There are plenty of templates available that we can use. We
recommend http://squeezepagescreator.com/ for free squeeze page templates.
We can sign up for free, and follow the instructions to set up a simple squeeze
page. Just spend some time and play a bit with the templates and tools until you
are satisfied with the squeeze page you generate.
There are tons of free squeeze page templates on the web. All you have to do is
Google search “Free squeeze page templates,” and select one you like.
Using Word Press Platform
20/34
Killer List Blueprint
If we go for the simplest way to get a squeeze page, this is it. The only thing we
have to do is install Word Press software. There are tons of free manuals and
Youtube videos on how to install Word Press. There are tons of free and paid
Word Press squeeze page themes on the Internet too! Just Google it to find it
and use it to generate your squeeze page. Here are some free and paid Word
Press theme sources we can utilize:
Free WP Squeeze Page Themes at http://wordpresssqueezepage.com
- Optimizepress at http://www.optimizepress.com
- Squeeze Theme at http://www.squeezetheme.com
- Flex Squeeze at http://www.flexsqueeze.com
Similarly, we can generate our thank you page and download page using the
same resources.
Now that we have our sales funnel web pages at hand, we will need some
additional tools that are a must to set up our sales funnel. We need a domain
name and a hosting account to upload our web pages. And we need the service
of an auto-responder company to send our emails with offers in bulk to our list.
First, we need a domain name to keep our web pages recognized on the web.
Choose a domain name of your choice. A domain name with the extension of
dot com, dot net or dot org works best on the web. We have to register the
21/34
Killer List Blueprint
domain name to make it our own. There are many domain registrant companies
but I use Name.com and godaddy.com. We need a hosting company after we
acquire a domain.
There are many web hosting services on the market. I use Host Gator. We can
start with Host Gator, paying as little as $ 3.96 per month. Blue Host is also a
good option. These two are the best and the most professional on the market.
But that's my opinion. We can choose any company we want. Just make sure the
hosting company we are choosing is supported by the c-panel system. We have
to sign up for a hosting account choosing a suitable package and upload our
Squeeze Page, Thank You page, and Download page to our hosting account. In
our hosting member area, we can find some video training on how to upload
our files in our c-panel. There are tons of videos on the YouTube site as well.
Killer Sales Funnel Strategy
We have discussed how to make a simple sales funnel already. Now we are
going to set a killer sales funnel strategy. The idea is to place our offer in front of
our visitor as many times as possible. That will increase the possibility of our
sales. We have created this funnel based upon the trial and error systems over
the years, and it works great for us. We need a few more web pages and a few
more products to implement our killer strategy. We don't have a few more
22/34
Killer List Blueprint
products? Not to worry, we can always use affiliate products and make
commissions! Now, look at this diagram below and try to understand the flow:
Scenario 1
(1) OTTO: We got the email address we are looking for, as soon as someone
signed-up at our squeeze page. We will immediately send them to our thank
you page with our OTO. Let's say we sell a list-building report at our website for
$37, and we are giving away the same for $10 at our OTO page.
(1.1) Upsell: Congratulations to us for our first sale. A subscriber has just become
a customer! But why stop there? Let's grab the opportunity to place another
product before our customer!
1.2) Upsell 2: If they bought the OTO and Upsell 1 then there is an opportunity
to show them the Upsell 2 products.
1.3)
23/34
Killer List Blueprint
Scenario 2
We sent our subscriber to our thank you page with OTO; it's turned down. It can
happen. But in that situation, we will send them to our downsell page, where
they can buy the equivalent product (with reduced features) at a lower price. We
will include a downsell page after every Upsell page on the same principle.
There will always be some subscribers who end up purchasing nothing. But we
can send them our convincing pre-written auto responder emails to persuade
them.
Methods of Driving Traffic to your Sales Funnel
Now that our sales funnel is complete, our primary task will be driving traffic to
our squeeze page, as many as we can, in as many ways as we can. More traffic to
our squeeze page means more sign ups, and more sign ups mean more sales.
There are many proven ways to derive traffic to our squeeze page. Some
generate random visitors and some targeted visitors. Some are free methods
and some need investment. A successful list builder hardly uses all the methods
to drive traffic. It is a bit difficult to master and run all the methods
simultaneously. Mastering one or two techniques is more convenient, and brings
a satisfactory result as well.
24/34
Killer List Blueprint
We are not going to discuss all the methods in depth here. Discussing each
traffic driving method in-depth would require a separate report for each
method! We are going to discuss two free methods and two paid methods of
traffic generation. We will take it a step further and actually disclose which four
strategies have worked the best for us and which ones have brought the most
subscribers.
Free Methods
1. Blogging
Blogging is one of the best free methods for getting targeted traffic to visit our
squeeze page. We already have our domain name and hosting account. Now,
we have to setup a Word Press blog. There are many video tutorials on how to
set up a Word Press blog on the net. We have to post new and fresh content
daily at least twice, the more the better, always with a link or two to our squeeze
page. We are going to add our auto-responder opt-in form at the side bar of our
blog as well.
A Word Press blog always gets traffic. Whatever we post on our blog, there will
be visitors to read it. We are going to post content related to our gift if we want
targeted traffic at our opt-in form. Let's say our gift is a report on list building.
We should post contents that are related to listing building. This way, the reader
will know what to expect from our gift before they opt-in. That makes them a
25/34
Killer List Blueprint
targeted prospect, and we can consider them our valuable leads.
We have to write our content that we are going to post at our blog. The
interesting thing is, most of us think that we do not have any writing ability
what-so-ever. But in the end, most of us (Internet marketers) become pretty
good writers! The thing is, we can write if we try to write. Initially, it won't be easy
but with practice and persistence, it comes out fine! We cannot write, say on list
building, if we do not know anything about list building. The key here is to find
valuable contents on list building and read and research the subject. We can
always write or rewrite on an issue of list building in our own words if we know
about it.
There is the alternate way to get content if we do not want to write ourselves.
We can invest some money to get content written by others. It may cost $3- $10
for a 500 word article. There are marketplaces for these writers often called
“ghost writers." We can find them at oDesk.com, elance.com or even at
warriorfurum.com. Another good place for cheap content is iwriter.com. Here we
can get a 500 word article for $3 apiece.
Traffic generation with blogging is the most stable way to get targeted traffic.
This method alone could fulfill our target of 45 subscribers per day. Setting up a
blog with the first content may not bring expected visitors. But the number of
visitors grow very fast if we post our contents regularly. Visitors increase with the
26/34
Killer List Blueprint
age of the blog as well. Overtime it collects visitors from search engines.
The ey to the success with the blogging is the consistency; that is posting fresh
content at regular intervals. That being said, there are many rules, good
practices, techniques, tricks and tips for blogging successfully. Going through a
course on blogging is a good idea to take full advantage of blogging. We
recommend the best course in the current market named, “Blogging to the
Bank."
2. JV (Joint-venture) Give away
JV Give away is the event where some Internet marketers come together and
submit their gift. These gifts could be a report, a video tutorial, or software or
any IM related element. All the gifts of the contributors are kept in the JV Give
away site, that is, on a web page. Everyone on the Internet is free to visit this
page and download gifts for free in exchange for their email. Not only that, all
the contributors (who obviously possess a considerable sized list of subscribers)
are bound to drive their own traffic to the page. Now, we can get many sign-ups
for free if we become a contributor and submit our gift for such an event.
Where to find these JV giveaway events? There are two kinds. One is public, and
another is private. Public JV Giveaway events are open for all to contribute, and
many events could be found at any time from a Google search. Just type “JV Give
Away Events.” Each event may have different rules, so we have to go through
their terms before we decide to submit our gift. Here are few popular public JV
27/34
Killer List Blueprint
Giveaway events:
Private JV Giveaways work like public JV Giveaways. But the role of a contributor
is not open to all. Each day, many private JV Giveaway events take place. All we
have to do is find them. We can find them by searching Google or by building
personal relationship with Internet marketers. There are a number of JV groups
on Skype. We can find a highly active Skype group with the purchase of a JV
giveaway event hosting plugin on Wordpress named JV Giveaway plugin.
With this plugin we can run our own JV giveaway events and request other
contributors to join in. WP Venture is a similar plug-in. These plug-ins are easy
to set up and come with an instruction manual.
These are the two best free list building methods. These have proved to bring
success. We were heavily dependent on these two methods for our own list
building at the initial stage. We are using a few paid methods currently, but we
never stopped using the two free methods we discussed here.
Paid method
1. Solo Ad
We are starting to build our subscribers list, but many marketers have been

doing it for 5 or 10 years. They have huge numbers of subscribers on their list.
One of the many ways to earn from the list of subscribers is to send another
person’s email for a small fee. The people that are paying the list owner
generally attach few links to his or her squeeze page in the email. This system of
advertisement to another person’s subscribers is called a Solo Ad.
There are places where we can buy at $30, $100, or $300 a Solo Ad from the
sites like Safe-Swaps.com, SoloAdDirectory.com, or Directory of Ezines.
A Solo Ad is one of the cheaper and effective methods of building a targeted list
very fast. We can easily fulfill our quota of 45 subscribers a day with this system.
2. Free WSO
This is a cool way to get targeted subscribers, and we have been doing it over
and over since 2009. I am talking about offering our gift to warriorforum.com,
WSO section for free. WSO stands for Warrior Special offer. The general rule is to
offer a deal for Warrior Forum members at a much lower price. That means the
deal is offered at higher price on some other websites or marketplaces. WSO is a
privilege for the Warrior Forum members. We can offer a deal as WSO and earn
money but there is also an option to offer a WSO for free.
Why bother to offer our gift to Warrior Forum? It's because of the traffic. 20 to
29/34
Killer List Blueprint
30 thousand or more people worldwide are logged in at any given time. We
have the chance to place our offer in front of 20 to 30 thousand pairs of eye. Isn't
that intriguing! Do we need more traffic to fulfill our quota of 45 subscribers per
day?
Running a WSO, free or paid, requires special skills and understanding. We can
go and try to post an offer (which will cost $ 40 per WSO) at Warrior Forum and
learn the process with trial-and-error methods. This has been the process since
2009. We can also take advantage of our step by step video tutorial on how to
create a product, how to post it as a WSO and how to get most out of our WSO.
Our tutorial can be found here:
Subscribe & Unsubscribe
You see, some of our subscribers will unsubscribe from our list. There is an
option to unsubscribe from the list at the bottom of every email we send
through our auto-responder account. Unsubscribing happens to every list
builder in the world. It is normal. We subscribe to a newsletter because it
appears valuable to us. We expect valuable content related to the product we
are interested in. But after some time, the newsletter may not appear as
valuable as it looked before. Or we may lose interest to the product or the niche
related to it. We generally unsubscribe in this situation. So, we cannot afford to
stop our list building efforts. We have to look out for new subscribers all the

time. A number of new subscribers with a few un-subscribers will keep our list
healthy and on the rise.
That's all from “”. But don't forget to check our tutorial “”. (Insert your product

Final Statement
We are going to build a list of at least 4,000 subscribers in 90 days, if we put into
action what we have learned here. We are going to earn at least $3,000 a month
with our list. What that means is we have to setup our sales funnel and make it
fully functional first. Then we are going to use the traffic driving methods
described in this report to derive traffic for our sales funnel for 90 days. It would
be easier for us if we follow the action steps below. We have to complete one
step before we move on to the next.
Action Steps
1. Prepare/outsource a free give away report
2. Prepare/outsource a related product to sell or find a related affiliate product
