13 The #1 List Building Method Get other people who have the list you want, tell their subscribers to join your list! Who does that??? The most successful product launches in the world used this Virtually every top marketer uses this one way or another Every viral social media had their members bring all their friends

14 The #1 List Building Method Why is this the best method? It has the HIGHEST conversion rates (I ve seen up to 80% CR) It is the most targeted It is the FASTEST You can start TODAY and have hundreds of subscribers tomorrow Even if you screw up, you will get subscribers

15 About 700 of the 1,046 subscribers who opted in yesterday came with this method

16 The #1 List Building Method In our industry we call this method Adswaps It s where someone agrees to their list and tell them to opt into your list in exchange of you doing the same thing for them. So if you have 1000 subscribers, you can swap a mailing with another list of the same size Say, you got 200 new clicks, 50% opted in, you got 100 new people on your list Do this a few times in 2 weeks and you double your list to 2000 Then you can swap with bigger lists and in a couple of weeks you double it again to 4000 And keep doubling up your subscribers using this method

17 The #1 List Building Method Doing ad swaps is VERY simple but there is a BIG PROBLEM If you don t have 1000 subscribers to begin with How do you get them?

18 The #1 List Building Method To get the first 1000 subscribers we are going to use a variation of the adswap method called SOLO ADS It is where the partner agrees to their list for you, just like in adswapping, but instead of you sending for them, you just give them a little bit of money (hint: I said a little bit )

19 The #1 List Building Method For about $100 you can get GUARANTEED clicks to your squeeze page If 50% opt in you get NEW subscribers to your list within a DAY This is by FAR some of the cheapest quality clicks for list building you will find anywhere BUT, you can make more than your money back almost instantly. You will learn how in a moment. Why is it really CRUCIAL to get your first 1000 seed subscribers asap?
