Build a List with Blog Comments

Every internet marketer knows the real money is in the list. If you don’t have an e-mail list to market to, it’s pretty tough to spread the word of anything to a mass group in a few seconds. I’ve been working on building my list with Aweber for about two years now and have about 3,200 people signed up. I don’t send out e-mails too often — only when I feel something is important to broadcast or if I launch a new site.

There are also marketers who build their lists the non-ethical way (in my opinion) by using a WordPress plugin called Comment Relish, which basically scrapes the e-mail addresses from those that comment on your blog and puts them on to a list. The reason I’m bringing this up is because this plugin has received a lot of publicity during this past week on forums and a discussion has ensued about whether it’s really that good or not. It works — so some would say it’s good, but it’s all personal choice. I’d stick with Aweber, but that’s just me.

Did You Get Married by Google?

Google has a lot of influence on our lives, but how about in your marriage? A newlywed couple used Google services to completely plan their wedding and even Google took notice on this official blog. Very cool.

11 Tips for First Time Home Buyers

When I talk to a lot of internet marketers about their long term goals, they almost always mention being able to buy a home. You need to make A LOT of conversions on your CPA offers if you think you’re going to buy a home simply from working online. However, most marketers have at least 6 or more income steams anyway (if they’re smart). So the time has come… you’ve made around $500k and you want to move into your dream home. What do you need to know before you sign the papers? Find out.
