Great post, and I would like to chime in:

TIP 1: On the free guides/distributed reports, Include something like this on the 2nd page
[You now have free giveaway rights and can share this report with your website visitors!]

This simple instruction encourages the list reader to spread your report around the web, and it can speed up the spread viral spread of it.
I did this…. and by adding a link to the bottom of the report, the traffic to that link kept on rolling in and increasing week after week.

TIP 2: Don’t be shy to contact marketers! Many newbies don’t approach marketers to
For example adding an article for their website, or even offering a created video for their blog because they are too shy/ or scarred. The worse that will happen is that they will say no.

TIP 3: Attend Seminars and make friends. These friendships can lead to potential JV partners who can work with you to help your progress, and provide traffic for your websites.

TIP 4: Stand out from the crowd when contacting other marketers (bloggers or marketers at seminars)
Think outside the box when approaching them, so you have your own edge.

Great post, so much detail must have taken hours!

Definitely a post to share even if it is on John’s Blog and
not yours. Another Blog Post Mini Course for free.

Go for it, all it takes is a little time. If you don’t have that outsource it

Thanks Carl

Thanks for the Tiber update. Not many people use this and if they are dead set on spreading their content they should. Maybe you could hook me up with your tribe

We can talk about a guest blog Sergio, that’s no problem you know where to find me.

Thanks for stopping by man.

Building subscribers is paramount to your business and what I speak about is not forcing the opt-in. By placing an opt-in in strategic places on your blog most certainly helps. I wasn’t implying you have to use all of these options at once but every option I spoke about will drastically improve your opt-in rate if used together. Think of it this way, what is the first think you do when you land on a blog page? Do you immediately check the sidebar for an opt-in? No, you read the post. Then at the end of the post if you see a call to action for a free eBook or newsletter you are more inclined to opt-in there if you enjoyed the post. The sidebar is not the most convenient place to have an opt-in.

As for popups they can be a pain for some people but they are the still the biggest converting place to have your opt-in. John makes more conversions from his opt-in than any other subscription form on his blog. You see with Aweber, you can set the opt-in to show a variety of options, so you don’t annoy people. They may personally bug you, but some of the biggest and most profitable blogs in the world have them. Bottom line, they work.

Glad you enjoyed the other tips Erwin, we will agree to disagree with the opt-in. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for getting Dan to post this good tips on your blog for us.Very good post and tips in there Dan thanks so much for doing this for us. Number 4 was a great one.

Have A Good Day.

good tips but I must say to place your sign up form everywhere is too much.

And I don’t think pop-ups are good today? People are fed up with them so at the top of your sidebar is enough or maybe at the bottom of post.
But we must have some logical thinking and not spam visitors with our sign up form.

I know it is essential but please.

All the others tips are very good.

Thanks and see you on top
Erwin
