An Email List Of 600,000 Plus...

When my friend Thea Swafford shared that she had a database
of over 600,000 at a Michael Penland seminar long ago, it
was amazing to watch all of the marketers swarm over her at
the next break :-)

I quietly waited, called here later, and got her to share with
me her secret. The recording from that call is now in my
inner circle site... if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I adopted her techniques plus those of a LOT of others
to build a very respectable database myself... well over half
a million (being deliberately vague).

This database is a lot of different lists in a lot of different
niches, with MOST of them being outside of Internet marketing. I'm
very protective, and secretive, about some of these niches/lists.

However, I thought that I'd share one of my simplier list
building secrets with my fellow Warriors.

I find out about big name authors who are doing book releases,
and then in exchange for helping to publicize the release, I
get to include a gift on a page full of bonuses.

Typically, my gift is an ebook or perhaps an MP3 somehow
related to the topic of the book.

If I don't have an appropriate bonus, I create one, or outsource
one... although reworked/retitled PLR material is generally
suitable.

One of my insider contacts for advance notice of these book
launches is Warren Whitlock... whom I chat with regularly at
Internet marketing seminars.

I'll be interviewing Warren on this very topic... "Building
Your List On The Backs of Book Launches" on Tuesday, June
17th, at 6-7pm CST.

You're welcome to join us for free at:

You can dial in to the number shown on the site, or you can
listen right over the internet. You can also ask questions
via chat right over the internet.

We're not selling anything on the call... just sharing information,
and also doing a recording.

Join us.

Willie
