VIP Conv 1.3% GOLD upgrades 9.43%

It looks likely that the previous stats were taken from a sample rather top-heavy with excited buyers. Possibly those from my own Freedom List, but we now have a sample which is more representative of the kind of traffic the site will get going forwards.

Will check and update again soon.

Its been pretty crazy getting it ready, but now its there, and the early signs are good. From the first day’s figures, the site is converting at 3.78%. Don’t know how that compares with other similar $9.97 signup sites, but it sounds a good metric to me. Plus, on top of that, 12.73% are buying the OTO at $97.

If anyone’s got any views on whether this is good/bad/normal – please let me know with a comment on here.

Well look, one of the secrets I’m sharing at my new site, www.listmission.com is a way I use to build my list at lightning speed, without doing a great deal of work.
I’ve refined a method of article marketing and taken it down to its bare bones, and let me tell you – it works like crazy!

Here’s how it goes…

Look, I’m not going to delve into the intricacies of article marketing. I explain that in the 5-Steps to Freedom course, which you can get from The Freedom List. but this method adopts some sneeky twists to conventional article marketing and I’ve found them to be very effective in bringing hordes of new signups to my list.

Here’s what you do:

1. First of all, instead of putting your normal website address in the bio of your article, make sure its the address of a squeeze page. Your readers don’t need to read any more to sign up. They’ve been converted enough by your article.

2. Next. Don’t settle for one or two articles, nor even ten or fifteen. Go for fifty to a hundred. This may sound like a lot of work, but believe me, its not. I wouldn’t suggest you write them yourself, nor even pay a ghostwriter to do it for you. No, just get a stack of PLR articles and modify them to make them unique. Always change the headline and away you go. I’ve bunched together a whole load here so you can see how easy, and inexpensive it is.

3. Automate the process of modifying each article as far as possible. I use Jeff Dedrick’s excellent Secret Article Converter for the task.

4. Make the heading of your article something really punchy – whacky even – so it stands out from all the others and really grabs the attention when it appears in Google’s search results (as it will when its posted with the big article directories). You can afford to be quite risky here, even shocking, in your approach. Here’s an example. Say your article is about growing tomatoes and the current title is “How to grow huge tomatoes” -change it to something like “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!” or “From tiny seeds, MASSIVE Tomatoes are grown!”. Don’t miss this step, it will make a huge difference to your response.

5. Automate the posting of your articles as far as possible. You can use the the web-based service at Article Marketer, or just get the article submitter software at articash.

Now its a funny thing, but I heard Gary Ambrose saying recently that he didn’t think article marketing for list-building was so effective any more. I bow to Gary’s far better judgement on most things but this is a technique I know to work well. It could be that conventional article marketing isn’t so effective any more, but this refined method I’m giving you here goes way beyond conventional…

Let me tell you, with these five steps in place and just an hour and a half a week, you can explode the traffic to your squeeze pages and build a highly targeted list fast!

I hope you’ve found it useful. There’ll be loads more where this came from when I launch listmission.com. Listen out for my announcements and please take a moment to post a comment on what you think of this technique.

Thanks, Tim
