They Laughed At Me When I Told Them I Could Make $2,000 In One Day From Home, Using Nothing But Email on My Computer-- But When They Saw My Bank Deposits Their Laughter Turned To Amazement!

Marketers often talk about the one secret that has the potential to make you big money over and over again.
This secret is another very simple tool that is responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars to my business every year and most people are still struggling to take advantage of it. Once you grasp the real power of this tool, then you will discover that you basically have a legal license to print money from your home!
I've talked about this many times before, however, I'm finding that people still fall into two categories: 1. They still have many unanswered questions for me about this topic; or 2. They still don't comprehend how powerful this strategy really is and they are not taking any action to build their business with this incredible tool.
So, I find myself writing about it again here so that it may help both types of people that I meet and talk to you.
Okay, you may be asking what this simple, yet proven strategy is and how do you use it, right?
Drum roll please....
What marketing tool is so powerful that it basically gives you a legal license to print money?
The LIST!
The money is in the list. The money is in the list. The money is in the list.
How many times have you heard marketers talk about this concept? All the time! Why? Because it is true.
Let me give you an example of what this means and one way it can be used on a small scale.
One of my websites has an email list of about 15,000 prospects. I built this list over time by collecting names and emails of visitors who landed on my website. Normally, I bribe them to enter their contact information by offering a free report or something of value that they can download in exchange for entering their name and email address.
This is a strong list because the prospects that visit my website are interested in what it has to offer. So I can now "drip" follow up email messages to these 15,000 people to keep my name, product, or service in front of them forever! I can send them emails to bring them back to my website and try to sell a product to them. I can send them an email with a special offer or sale price. I can send them free articles and content that they have interest in to build my relationship with them.
I can send as many follow up emails as I want for as long as I want and it basically costs me NOTHING to do this. I spend a small monthly fee on software that I use, but it's a fixed cost. It doesn't matter if I send 10,000 emails or 10 emails, the fixed cost is the same.
Let's discuss a real life examples of how I recently used this to make money.
First, I recently made an extra $1,000 by sending a Halloween email to my list offering them 30% off my products if they purchased during a 3-day Sale that I was running. This email was simple. I just explained that I'm doing a Halloween Sale and they can save money on my products if they buy now. It had a link in the email message to a website that described the products and had purchase links.This little "Halloween Sale" made me $1,000.
At the same time I was doing this, I had another website in an entirely different niche market with an email list of around 12,000 prospects. I sent an email message to these prospects offering a brand new product for sale. The product sold for just under $40 and I sold 50 of them.
Let's do the math. 50 units sold at $40 each equals $2,000! That's an easy $2,000 I made by sending out an email.
Do you begin to see how the "money is in the list"?
If I didn't have a list built like the above examples, then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do what I did. However, there are ways to make money with lists even if the list isn't owned or built by you.
I'll discuss this at another time.
