If you don’t yet know about Jimmy D. Brown, now
is as good a time as any to get acquainted with
his stuff…

Content is king. It gets to wear the crown. And sit on
the throne. And rule the world. When it comes to
establishing credibility, gaining trust and producing
sales, content is royalty.

While I would never suggest abandoning the concept of
delivering high quality content to your subscribers, there
is another type of list composed of subscribers who couldn’t
care less about content.

“What is this type of list?” you ask.

- > The “announcement list”.

I’ve been teaching about the “announcement” list since
at least 2002 (on record at an event). And, yet, it’s a
widely untapped asset in most email marketing circles.

The main reason is: nobody’s teaching it. And so,
nobody knows anything about it, let alone how to effectively
create one of these lists.

So, we’re going to revisit it.

————————————-
What Is An “Announcement” List?
————————————-

DEFINED: An announcement list is a list whose sole purpose
is to “announce” (I.E. Inform, notify) when something new
is available for review, consumption or purchase.

In other words, it unapologetically says, “Hey, I just
released XYZ. Come check it out!”

Now, at first glance you may be thinking, “Who would join a
list that offers no content and only sales pitch?”

If you say it that way, it doesn’t sound too good to me
either! That’s why you don’t say it that way. Let’s take
a look at HOW to “say it”…

————————————-
How About An Example “Announcement” List?
————————————-

If you go to this site:

http://anyonecandothis.biz/plrso.php

you’ll find a textbook example of this concept. PLRSO
stands for “Private Label Rights Special Offers” I
established this list for the sole purpose of informing
people anytime I have a new PLR offer available for them to buy.

That’s it.

I don’t send out ezine articles to them. No newsletters.
They don’t get blog posts. There aren’t any special reports.
No content of any kind. What they get, in essence, are
sales messages.

And there are already 2,822 subscribers, many of which
have already purchased some of the PLR special offers that
have been “announced” to the list.

Why does it work? Let me give you plenty of reasons…

1. I took something that was “in-demand” (PLR) and I allow
people to get a head-start on the world by knowing about
new releases FIRST by joining this list.

2. It’s not billed as an “announcement list”, but rather
a “Free PLR Club”. Big, big difference in perception.

3. It has it’s own domain name, further adding to the
perceived value and importance to those who join.

4. There is no requirement to buy once you join. Buy the
offers that you want, pass on the ones you don’t want.

5. A cost example is provided to show what you can
buy immediately, further illustrating the value of the
complimentary “membership”.

And here’s the big twist that makes this idea of creating
an “announcement” list a complete no-brainer…

I allow my affiliates to “give away” complimentary memberships
to the PLRSO club!

When someone they refer buys one of the offers, they earn
a commission. And I get other people to promote and build
my list for me. We all win.

So, you may be thinking…

————————————-
What Kind Of “Announcement” List can I Build?
————————————-

There are a wide variety of “announcement” lists that you
can build. Let’s briefly look at ten of them…

* PLR List. You can swipe my idea and create a list of
private label rights buyers.

* New Offers List. Build a list of people who love your
work and want to be notified any time you have a new
offer available.

* Pre-Launch List. Create buzz and anticipation for an
upcoming new product release by building a pre-launch
list several weeks (even months) in advance.

* Ezine Publishers List. Build a list of publishers who
want to know any time you have a new ezine article
that is available for reprint in their ezines.

* Bloggers List. Another idea is to allow bloggers who
are looking for ready-made content to post to their blogs.

* Industry News List. How about becoming the “go to”
guy or gal to share breaking news about your industry?

* Joint Venture List. Develop a list of partners and
affiliates who are ready to promote anytime you have a
new offer.

* Incentives List. Here’s a great idea – create a list of
people who you offer “incentives” to when they purchase
someone else’s new product through YOUR affiliate link.

* Freebie List. Regularly give away rebrandable content
(reports, articles, videos, etc.) to these subscribers
to earn commissions.

While all ten of these lists aren’t necessarily “buyers”
up front, they each can certainly lead to buyers and revenue
for you if you implement them.

Content is king. But let’s not forget that there are alot
of queens, princes, dukes and earls out there too.

Good morning from the Mid West!

I’m sharing with you today the results of a personal survey I conducted recently. I sent emails to 25 Affiliate Marketers who have become ‘successful’ . I asked one simple question. “What is the most important tool necessary for success as an affiliate Marketer.”

Here are the top 3.

Tool #1: Your Own Website

Build a good, credible and professional looking website. Your website is the jump off point of all your marketing efforts. Build a user-friendly website, which will appeal to your prospects and encourage them to click on the links to the products and service you are promoting and make a purchase. Concentrate your efforts on building a website that will cater to what your prospects need.

Make your website full of original, relevant and useful content. Content is still king and will not only build your credibility, but will also help you achieve a higher search engine ranking. . Establish yourself as a credible expert in the field by posting relevant and useful articles. Forging a good reputation is the first step in building up a loyal, responsive consumer base.

Tool #2: Incentives

In order to receive, you must give. In other words, over-deliver, frequently, and you’ll get what you want. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a free membership or an ezine . Better yet, offer good, quality gifts to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free software, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects. You must acquire a
business mentality here. If you have a product that perhaps you could sell
for $7 or $17 or even $27, you could leverage that into thousands of eager,
responsive subscribers who will await every future offer from you, by simply
‘giving’ that product to them in exchange for their name and email address!

Tool #3: Traffic to Your Site

Driving targeted traffic to your website is a must. The best website ever created is worthless if nobody ever sees it! Getting folks to your site should be your first and continuing priority. Launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign. Contact webmasters of similar websites with your best offer in exchange for a backlink to their site. Create a signature file and visit forums that are filled with folks and respond to their questions. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL DIRECTLY IN THE FORUMS. You’ll lose any cred you have ever created. Trust me here.

One of the best ways to create a never-ending flow of good back-links – at no cost at all – is by submitting articles, with your website’s link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article submission sites. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make your articles original, relevant and useful so that more websites will pick it up and post it.

In Conclusion

Now, get to work. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. You’ll continue to learn.
Always try. Never give up. If your dream is a worthy dream, persistence in the chase will be the single most important factor in catching the dream. Give to all those you meet. You will reap rewards from giving.

Make It A Great Day!
Bob
P.S. Have you got any to add to this?

I thought you should about a membership site that I have found to be, bar none, worth 100 times more than the price of admission!

Did you know that the # 1 key to online success is the ability to generate traffic and visitors to the web-site(s) of your choice? And conversly, the reason that most online businesses fail is that they LACK the ability to generate traffic?

I’m willing to bet YOUR online business could use a significant stream of additional FREE traffic. Am I right? If so, keep reading!…

Internet marketing experts agree that the BEST way to generate unlimited FREE online traffic is through the proper utilization of *articles and content*.

As an InfoGoRound.com (IGR) member you have the ULTIMATE article content resource right at your fingertips! In fact, IGR guarantees $3,000 – $4,000 worth of brand new, freshly written content each and every month (we add *at least* 100-200 new articles per month)! And this isn’t just any content. It’s *PRIVATE LABEL* content, meaning you can use the articles we provide in an almost endless variety of ways just as if YOU’D written them yourself! …You can modify them; add to them; insert your own affiliate links; attach YOUR resource box and web-site link to the bottom; submit them to article directories, blogs, and newsletter publishers; and even sign YOUR name as author!

HOW TO GENERATE *MILLIONS* OF FREE VISITORS WITH IGR’S PRIVATE LABEL ARTICLE CONTENT!!!

Following is a quick list of just a FEW of the many ways that you can begin generating unlimited FREE traffic with IGR’s private label articles…

1. Boost your search engine ranking and daily visitor count by posting keyword rich articles and content on your web-site. For example, if your business involves offering products and services related to fitness, posting fitness related articles and content will attract unlimited prospective customers on a regular basis!

Search or Browse IGR’s article database to find articles suited to your niche. IGR features articles on the most popular, in-demand topics online! If you can’t find articles that suit your intended niche within IGR, you may want to consider a more popular topic. To succeed online, you want to tap into EXISTING demand (topics and niches that people are already interested in), rather than trying to *create* a demand. (That is a VERY important key that many people miss!)

2. Generate double or even triple the number of newsletter subscribers you do currently, simply by offering content in the form of “special reports” or manuals as bonuses for subscribing to your publication. People LOVE freebies, so give them what they want and watch as your results increase! Did you know that you can COMPILE IGR article content to create lengthier training courses; special reports; ebooks; and more?!

By the way, you can also double or triple your AFFILIATE sales and commissions by offering special bonuses to your prospects. Special reports make great bonuses! Use IGR to compile *unlimited* special reports on a wide variety of popular topics!

3. Create an automated cashflow by using IGR content to formulate multi-part email training courses with related web-site or affiliate links “sprinkled” throughout each course. Use an autoresponder service to automate the delivery of your training course (such as a 5 part training course delivered over a 5 day period).

(Training courses can also serve as excellent bonus offers for your prospective newsletter subscribers.)

4. Another VERY important key to a successful online business is not JUST having a (mailing or newsletter) list of subscribers…

It’s about building a trusting RELATIONSHIP with your subscribers (ie, “cultivating” your list)…

By sending informative articles (content) to your list on a regular basis you will establish yourself as an expert on your topic of business, as well as gain the trust of your subscribers over time. As a result, your subscribers will be EAGER to take advantage of your “paid” product and service offers. (Just make sure that you NEVER take advantage of the relationship you develop with your list by offering products or services of poor quality just to make a quick buck!)

If there is one “constant” in Internet marketing, it’s this: A cultivated list of subscribers is as good as money in the bank. Write that down and never forget it!

As an IGR member, you can find quality articles to send to your list in SECONDS, any time you need them! No need to spend hours writing your own. And no need to pay a freelance writer $15-25 *per article*. Remember, with IGR you receive *thousands of dollars worth* of fresh new articles every month!

5. Another excellent way to generate no cost traffic is by submitting ready-made articles to “content hungry” web-site and newsletter publishers with your “resource box” attached. A resource box is nothing more than a little 3-6 line “bio” about you and/or your web-site – including a link to your site (or even instructions on how to subscribe to your newsletter)…

When submitting or offering your article(s) for reprint purposes, just make sure to specify that each article is to be reprinted “as is” with your resource box attached.

IGR’s *private label* content is PERFECT for the above use. (Remember, the “private label” aspect gives you the right to modify the content; insert your own affiliate links; add your own resource box; etc. etc. Private label content is the only way to go if you’re serious about succeeding online!)

…Even one article can go a LONG way towards generating no cost traffic and visitors for you. Just imagine your article being sent out to a newsletter subscriber base of 100,000 individuals – many of whom will be reading YOUR included resource box and clicking on your URL to learn more about what you have to offer!

Well there you have it. Five sure ways to build your online business exponentially by utilizing InfoGoRound.com articles and content…

With the declining effectiveness of many of the online advertising methods that we’ve relied on in past years, content is only strengthening its position as the ultimate KEY to generating unlimited FREE traffic, subscribers, and customers!

Never forget, TRAFFIC = PROFITS! As long as you have an offer that people are willing to buy, whether it be your own product, an affiliate product, or even Google Adsense listings, traffic is as good as cash!

Clearly, it’s a big ‘Thumbs Up’ for IGR!

Here for Your Success,

Bob Kimball

P.S. As powerful as IGR is when it comes to FREE traffic generation, don’t forget all the *other* ways you can benefit with our content: Information product creation …newsletter articles … blog messages … forum posts … web-site creation … training courses … special reports … off line publication … the list is endless!

It’s no wonder that IGR’s member base is growing by leaps and bounds, and that people regard IGR as their “ultimate” Internet marketing resource!

The best part is, IGR doesn’t have to cost you a DIME thanks to our Patent Pending Cash for Content Program. The irony is, we could easily charge $197+ per month for the type of value we provide, and people would happily pay — considering the fact that we *guarantee* $3,000 – $4,000 worth of fresh new private label content each month .. content which YOU could turn into tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of traffic and sales! But, our mission was (and will always be) to make IGR affordable to *anyone*!

IGR truly is the King of Content, and your KEY to online success!

When you first start your blog, you have so much to say that you
have no problem posting every day. After a while, you begin to
run out of ideas and you can’t seem to come up with fresh
content. Every blogger has this problem from time to time. So how
do you keep the blog going – keep it fresh and full of value?
Here are some ideas:

Do a top 10 list – “The top 10 mistakes people do when trying
_______ for the first time.” “The top 10 tips for ______.” Lists
tend to be easier to write and take less time to formulate. If
you can’t come up with 10, perhaps you can make it the top 3 or
top 5.

Interview an expert – Approach someone who is very knowledgeable
in your blog niche and you may find they’ll be happy to do an
interview, especially if they have a new product just launched
and would like the exposure. Put together some thoughtful
questions and ask them to write out their answers. The beauty of
this blog post is that aside from asking the questions, the
interviewee does all the work!

Answer a recurring question/problem – Go to the forums you
frequent in your niche and look for a recurring question that
people have. Doing a little research and coming up with answers
makes for an excellent blog post. You also can become the
expert.

Blog about other blog posts – Have you read a blog post recently
that caused you to stop and think, or offered up a huge
glittering gem of priceless information? Blog your opinions,
insights, and inspiration you’ve gotten from that person’s post.
Be sure to provide a link back so your readers can read the
original post.

Use the weather – Look around you at the season and tie it into
your niche. Does the hot weather inspire you to share a story on
your internet marketing blog about going fishing while your
internet marketing business is still making you money? Does the 4
feet of snow outside make you think about reading your favorite
books? If so, you can do a niche-related book review with your
Amazon or other affiliate links attached.

What’s up in your business world – Blog about what you’re working
on now. Using a personal tone, explain what your current project
is. Letting a few tidbits escape builds anticipation and helps
your readers feel like they’re now on the “inside”.

Have a great Weekend!

Bob Kimball

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately about Private Label Rights (PLR) content.
I used to think that it was only for lazy people who didn’t want to do their own writing.
But as I learn more, I’ve come up with lots of great ways I can use PLR in my own business.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, PLR is content that you get from the original
author along with their permission to use it as your own. So you can get a great report,
put your name on it and have your own product to sell or give away!

The first couple of products I created using PLR only took me about half an hour.
There have been a few sales so far from them so that was definitely time well spent.

When searching for PLR content to use, I found there were a lot of different types
of sites available. Some offered monthly memberships and others offered just one
time purchases. So be sure to look around before you decide where to buy.

The site I found that was by far the best was PLRWholesaler. Not only do they have
an unbelievable amount of content, but it’s completely FREE. Most sites charge an arm
and a leg for the amount of content that this guy is giving away.

And although I haven’t been through everything yet, what I have read is very good
quality. It’s stuff you would actually want to use as your own.

Since it’s free, I highly recommend that you check out PLRWholesaler and see if they
have anything that you can use in your business. There just may be an ebook or audio
recording that you could quickly brand with your information and start selling to your list.

Check it out and let me know what you think…
