										</div><p>OK  Stop me if you have heard this one already.</p>
<p>The money is in the &#8230;. oh so you have heard it.</p>
<p>Yeah I know its old news, it&#8217;s not sexy, it&#8217;s not shiny and it certainly isn&#8217;t new.</p>
<p>But let me ask you a question.</p>
<p>How are products launched?</p>
<p>I mean every day there is a new super traffic generating push button system, or a new undiscovered secret, that some homeless dude stumbled upon and is now a millionaire.</p>
<p>So you must hear about them all because they magically generate a force that sucked you in and made your browser go there right?</p>
<p>You probably heard all about how powerfull facebook and twitter are for building your business while you were on facebook or twitter then.</p>
<p>What blog were you at that told you how much money you can make by blogging?</p>
<p>Chances are you first heard about all these different methods, were told about all these secrets, and probably even bought one or two of them in your inbox.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying none of these methods work as most (not all as advertised ) do.</p>
<p>But when someone launches a new SEO product they don&#8217;t rely on SEO to get the word out.</p>
<p>They mail their list, they have their JV partners mail their lists.</p>
<p>Now they may use that SEO, or social media or traffic software to build their lists in the first place, but when it comes time to get the word out on their new product or service they mail their lists.</p>
<p>I have done many different things online, some successfull some not, I have been doing a lot of SEO lately and gotten good results, but no one has knocked on my door saying I&#8217;m about to launch a program will you SEO your affiliate link for me?</p>
<p>No ones ever said &#8220;hey you surf can you put my launch in your rotator?&#8221;</p>
<p>But I have a full Skype list and inbox full of invites saying &#8220;hey, I&#8217;m going to launch this soon can you mail for it?&#8221;</p>
<p>Now again don&#8217;t get me wrong I love surfing and its great traffic, same with SEO it is effective. But for fast proven success that everyone with a list recognizes, the power really is in &#8220;the list&#8221;</p>
<p>What ever you do to get traffic to your sites you can leverage that so much by adding an opt-in form on your page.</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t believe it works the next time you are reading a sales page or watching a video about the latest greatest product out there take a second to think how you ended up there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

got mixed together accidentally, but in the end it turned out great?</p>
<p>And really who doesn&#8217;t like a peanut butter cup? ( Sorry if you do happen to be that one person<br />

										</div><p>I want to start off with a scenario today.   Lets say there is a great new program that was just launched.<br />
It has a great product, great conversions, and a killer commission plan.</p>
<p>  You get an email about it and decide to check it out. The sales letter sucks you in  and you make a purchase.</p>
<p> You are excited about the commissions and think it’s a great product. You want to promote the product right away.</p>
<p> If you have been building a list, you simply log into your  auto responder account and send a broadcast email, or maybe work it into your followup series.  You tell your subscribers all about this great new product. Your work is done, now you can go back to building your list.</p>
<p>  If you haven’t built a list you might hurry and log into all your traffic exchange accounts, change your URL to your new affiliate link, and  assign however  my credits you have to it.</p>
<p> If you don’t have a lot of credits then you start surfing as much as you can and assign more credits. You keep surfing and assigning credits to your affiliate link.</p>
<p> If you were one of the first people to do this you might get a few sales but, then as your surfing you start seeing other affiliate links for the same site. Before you know it there are 100 other affiliates doing the same thing you are.</p>
<p> The site is still getting the same amount of people joining from traffic exchanges as before but you now only have a 1 in 100 chance that it is going to be from your link.</p>
<p>  You are not getting very many (if any) signups anymore.  It seems like the program is just not converting anymore, so you look for the next big thing to promote.</p>
<p>  Do either of the above sound familiar to you?  </p>
<p> I was the second person in that scenario for a long long time. It took a while before I realized the people that were actually doing good online were those that were sending the emails I joined things from.</p>
<p> It was then that instead of spending all my credits on the next big thing, I spent them on building my list.  </p>
<p> I stopped changing my URL’s every time a new program came out and started only to change them when I was testing a new page that built my list.</p>
<p> If I get excited about a new product now, I will tell my list about it, but I continue building my business first.</p>
<p> If you find yourself in the second category above, take a moment to think about those around you that are more successful than you. See what they are doing and see how you can apply it for yourself. And start promoting you instead of someone else.</p>
