Hey Derek –

Great blog bro. I got a ton of great stuff from the 2 review videos that I watched. Gonna watch them all.

Question for you. What plugin if any do you use to put this little optin forms in all of your content?

Thanks,

Stefan

Bad ass blog! I automatically unbooked marked all of the other so called seo expert blogs. You’re the man, all of the others just regurgitate the same verbal diarrhoea.

Hi Derek, Do you think that the strategy of building an audience and selling them stuff, can also apply to a real estate blog?

Hi, interesting thread. Thank you.
I know I am always fascinated to know the journey people/visitors have taken to get to websites, particulary through viral methods. I’m in the UX profession. Therefore I thought you may be interested that I discovered your blog through a link posted by an e-commerce biz owner on Linkedin.
So what? Well it occurred to me this was of particular relevance. Your authority was suggested through someone I respect at a time I was
In the correct frame on mind to learn and network professionally. more so than reading twitter feeds due to the level of noise it creates.
I think it maybe worth tracking goals from this source, I certainly signed-up and added to your list.
Regards Ru
I

Yet so simple, yet so true. Building an audience is the hard part. Just as Seth Godin talks about: There is a dip. A large dip.

Good post.

Building loyal reader is must if you want to sell something online , otherwise all your affiliate efforts will go in vein. Loyal reader comes when you share your experience genuinely and advice them properly.

Yeah, it’s just like saying “if you want to lose weight, you should diet and excercise”. Right? But the truth is nobody wants to do it the hard way, the right way.

The good news is that for all the people who don’t want to take their time and build an audience to sell to, there are a handful of people like Brian Clark and yourself who can dominate and build lifestyle changing businesses. It’s all about being a doer. Most people want the easy road. There isn’t one.

Good post. It confirms what I have learned from others as a newbie. List building is very important. I think people look at the two steps and think that they are too simplistic. I know when I first read about an email list I thought it would not work but I see now how wrong I was.

First….

Wait, no…anyway Derek your emails are always a great read.

They first start off with a great subject line, which pulls me in, then you don’t disappoint with the content either.

That’s the key though, being able to write persuasively as well as having something of value to say.
