This is rather embarrassing….
In fact I’ve never told anyone this before….
It all started in early 2009…
You see I was Staying at a Hilton hotel in Central London…
I was attending a 3-day seminar about email list building…
I was super excited about what I was learning…
I realised if I could build a list I would be free of my job….
After all all of the top internet marketing gurus had email lists…
So it was a no-brainer for me…
However it did seem a little daunting….
On the second day of the event I bumped into to a marketer….
He had an intriguing offer for me…
He informed me that he had an email list of 45000 Internet marketers on a CD-ROM…
He showed me the CD-ROM…
He only wanted £3,000 for it!
After some haggling I managed to purchase the CD ROM for £2000!
I was so excited!
In fact I couldn’t sleep that night because of the thought of all the money I was going to make!!
A couple of weeks later I had everything setup…
I had to purchase A special software program to send out the emails…
I also had to purchase a special dedicated server to send the emails from….
I uploaded the email list….
I remember thinking…
I’m going to make so much money….
I started sending out emails promoting affiliate offers…
But I made no sales?
The worst part was virtually nobody was opening the emails!
And then I started getting spam complaints…
I remember getting that sick feeling in my stomach…
It quickly became apparent that I have been ripped off….
After all if it was this easy….
Spamers would be the richest people in the world…
The worst part was I couldn’t afford to lose that £2,000!
So I realised I had to work out how this email thing worked….
The first thing I did was delete my email list from the server…
The CD-ROM I have purchased was worthless…
I threw it in the garbage…
And the next day I started over from scratch…
3-months in I was earning over 10k per month!!
What was my strategy?
What did I do differently??
Find out tomorrow….
When I reveal the exact strategy I followed…
Speak to you tomorrow,
