List Building Tools - Benefits of List Building- Submitted by Jim Roche NJ
If you're one of those internet marketers that assume list building is only for the gurus at the top of the food chain, think again.
There are actually many benefits that internet marketers of any level can enjoy from this practice.
You've been avoiding this part of your business for far too long. Consider the advantages of list building listed below:
* You can provide periodic emails with your unbiased opinion about certain products you've used or recently discovered that might benefit them in some way. Of course, you'd have your affiliate link embedded in the offer just in case a few might want to purchase the product for themselves
. CHING!
* You can begin creating your own information products and offer them a discount for being a part of your list of loyal customers
CHING!
* You can offer your services at a discounted rate for a limited time to subscribers only
CHING!
* You can inform them about new promotional materials you have for your affiliates (who
by the way earn 50% of all sales they generate) and if anyone is interested they can sign up and start promoting some of your products and services
CHA! CHING!
Always take the high road, it is a lot less crowded and much easier to navigate.

Before You Send Another Email,Consider This.Submitted by Jim Roche NJ
AS a small business owner, you're always looking for ways to close more sales and grow your business. And by now you've either adopted email marketing, or you will shortly. After all, email marketing is easy, fast, inexpensive, and, in most cases, yields the highest ROI. Which is great for you the small business owner. However before you send another email, consider this: the majority of entrepreneurs have no idea how to use email marketing effectively. And they're losing out on thousands, even millions of dollars because of it. You see, the truth is most small business owners will spend their time worrying about things like: What subject lines get the best open rates? Are there SPAM words I should avoid? How long should my email be? When is the best time of day to send my email? And so on A complete list could fill the entire page. But when it comes right down to it, there is a bigger picture here that most business owners are missing. While they're busy debating subject lines, deciding how to sign their emails, and rejoicing over 1 or 2% increased response rates, other, more important issues are neglected. And that's when having never learned effective email marketing strategies, small business owners are either oblivious to the mistakes they're making, or they fight the symptoms of the problem and not the problem itself. They believe: if open rates drop they've got to find a more responsive list or hire a copywriter to write more compelling subject lines. If no one jumps at the promotion it's because they delivered their message on the wrong day of the week. If their email messages aren't being delivered to the inbox it's time to find a new email marketing service. Look, successful email marketing is NOT determined solely by subject lines. It cannot be achieved by just avoiding SPAM words. A defined email length will not make or break your bottom line. And long-term success has never been determined by a certain day of the week. The majority of entrepreneurs have no idea how to use email marketing effectively. A promotional email is sent to an existing customer-who already made the purchase at full price A man receives an email inviting him to a Woman's Stress Management Course A prospect signs up to be on a mailing list then doesn't hear anything from the company for 3 or 4 months An email marketer gets more SPAM complaints than click-throughs If you want to see real results from your email marketing efforts, then stop reading articles about the, "7 Words You Should NEVER Use in an Email." Focus on the concepts that will make a difference. The key to creating successful, effective email marketing campaigns is tied up in 3 critical (but little known) techniques: Tomorrow I will detail the 3 techniques you must master in order to be a successful Email marketer.

Horse Head In Your Bed? | Angie Mitchell | 12 Second Commute
Disappointments.
The reason I'm so upset about what I'm about to tell you is because it has never happened to me before... until sometime last night. I like to think that I'm a different kind of internet marketer, actually I don't like to think of myself as an Internet Marketer because for me it has a bit of a negative connotation, it makes me think of a person who is trying to "sell" something, someone who has dollar signs in their eyes.
Although I'm in business to make money, I don't want to "sell" to people, I want to help enhance their business and in turn enhance their life.
I will tell you this, there is no better feeling in the world than knowing that I played some small part in helping someone else attain success no matter how small or large that success becomes.
I have done everything in my power to help or direct the people on my 12 Second Commute team and I see us all as equals, we all want the same things, we are all just at different points in the "game" and as long as we are moving forward at a slow and steady pace, I know we will win the race.
I'm rambling.
I could go on and on...
But, I want to warn you in advance if you ever join my 12 Second Commute team, I won't call it a "downline" because that's negative to me as well, if you are ever on my team, I'm going to be the biggest pain in the ass sponsor you will ever have because I want you to succeed. Even if you give up on yourself, I won't!
Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, the very first person to join my 12 Second Commute team QUIT! I have turned myself inside out, upside down and backwards to reach out. It started off so well, then turned into nothing at all. But I kept trying and giving... leaving her to her business but letting her know I was still there.
I got nothing in return. Sure she had a good following of her own, they are also on my team but that's not the point.
I lost one.
For me, it doesn't mater who's team you're on, if I can help I will.
My good friend Jim Roche NJ has always told me "don't get too high and don't get too low" I guess I feel this way because I care so much. I feel as though I have failed. I prided myself knowing that not a single person that has joined me has left... until today.
I know the old saying goes "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink" well I'm sure as hell going to try! (The image I have in my head is arms and legs wrapped around the horses neck, while hanging over a puddle of water trying desperately to get his head down.)
You are not invited to my pity party, the bar is closed... time to go home.
I love Art Williams and needed a little motivation and so might you.
Here is Art's 2 part video.

List Building Tools | Essential for Any Online Business | 12SC Submitted by Jim Roche NJ
List building is a crucial element of any online business today. Building a list entails keeping a collection of prospects who are within easy access of contact.
Of course, to make list buildingg work for you, you must have the tools to have them sign up to your list to gather the leads. With a little bit of creativity and a lot of persistence, your email list can end up consisting of many thousands of customers and interested prospects.
There are many benefits to list building here are just a few of them:
So what are the benefits of list building?
1. Building Relationships
When you email your list regularly, you build a relationship with them. They will learn to trust you and look forward to your emails, particularly if you are constantly providing free, helpful information that will interest them. For that reason it is also essential to know exactly what your list prospects want and need.
2. More Sales
After you begin providing free information to your list prospects they will be more likely to purchase from you. Regardless if they sign up to your list without initially purchasing something from you, you will stand a better chance of converting them after sending a sequence of emails. It is said that it can take up to 7 points of contact before someone purchases from you. Having built a list of prospects allows you the perfect opportunity to reach this point without over doing it, of course. There is a fine line between helping your prospects and annoying them with constant contact.
3. Branding Yourself
You earn recognition by building a list. You can become an authority in your niche of choice. People may start talking about you and word of mouth can, of course, lead to increased business and a larger email list.
There simply is no better way to build a long term business than by taking advantage of list building, whether online or offline. Both online and offline businesses can benefit from list building. Although we have talked about emailing a list in this article, the same can be done via snail mail (or regular postal mail) and you can build your offline list in similar ways.
List building must be considered an essential part of any business plan. It will increase your bottom line dramatically and will allow you to build unparalleled relationships with your customers and prospects.

12 Second Commute |How to Help Your Downline | Jim Roche NJ | Submitted by Jim Roche NJ
If you want to take your business to the next level, you need to start with your downline because if you help them and they stay with you, your business will explode. If you ignore them which too many sponsors do, they will quit and you will have a revolving door of clients. It takes 80% less money to keep a client than it does to get a new one, so if your cost to acquire a client is $100, your cost to keep that client happy is only $20 and personally I would rather spend $20 to keep someone happy than $100 to find someone new and have to start all over again. One of the tools you get with the 12 Second Commute is called the URL Rotator and the rotator simply allows you to create one master URL or link and then place other links under it so as people click on the master URL, they are automatically directed to the links under it. For example, let's say you are promoting Program T and I am promoting Program T. In your ads, you tell people that when they join Program T with you that you are going to give them advertising to help them get started. I am too cheap to do this and I just want people to join me in Program T and then they are on their own. Who do you think is going to build Program T faster, you or me? You will because you are offering help to your clients while I am just offering to take their money. Another way to help your downline is to use your Ad Tracker in the 12 Second Commute and track every ad and every link you have on the Internet. This is going to save you immediate money because you will know where your hits are coming from which means you don't waste time and money on advertising that will not work. And, it will allow you to pass this information to your downline. Using the same Program T example as above, let's say you have been tracking your ads for 6 months and you know exactly how much you have spent on advertising and how many hits you got from all your advertising and you can take this information and know exactly how much money it takes to run your business. You tell your prospects that when they join Program T with you that you are going to share this valuable information with them and you can also tell them how much money they are going to have to spend to get profitable. Since I am only after their money and I am not smart enough to track my ads, I just spend crazy money on advertising and I never know whether or works or not and I have zero data to pass to my downline. Who are people going to join with? You, because you'll tell them exactly how much it will cost them to get profitable and that is what people want and need to know. Does doing this take a little time and energy? Yes, but it will pay off 10 fold for you because you are going the extra mile for your downline and they will stick with you. And, you will teach them to do the same, so not only will your down line grow but theirs will as well which brings more money to you and since people are not jumping ship each month, you can start counting on a certain amount of money each month as will your downline and you are now well on your way to achieving the success you desire and deserve. Zig Ziglar said it best: "You can get anything in life you want; if you just help enough other people get what they want". Help your downline using the tools and resources you get in 12 Second Commute and you will soon see an amazing increase in your business.
