Three Tips to Help Build Your Mailing List

Three Tips to Help Build Your Mailing List

If you've been around the internet marketing world for any amount of time chances are you've heard those questions on more than once occasion. So many people focus on getting to the top of search engines when they could be spending that time working on building their list which is actually more beneficial than being at the top of the search engines! Google can drop you faster than a blink of the eye but a list can “Google proof” your income.

Building a list can be challenging but with these three tips you will be on your way to building an incredible list.

1. Build a relationship first. Your main objective should not be money but building a relationship with your list. Don’t send email after email that just offers your product or service. Yes putting your product and services in front of your subscribers eyes is key to making money. However, they more than likely signed up for your list expecting to get something out of it not just sales pitch after sales pitch. And you will find if you do that you’ll have unsubscriber after unsubscriber. So focus on relationship building first and the monetary aspect later.

2. Be consistent. Consistency is key! Have you ever signed up for a list only to end up forgetting you even signed up for it because the emails were so far and few in between? Not only does it cause list subscribers to forget they signed up but it causes the potential for loss of income and then if you decide to start the list back up later it’s going to be tougher to get those subscribers to open those emails! So when you start that list make sure you are consistent!

3. Use a good autoresponder company. Each company will have different pros and cons you’ll need to evaluate and decide what will be the best for you and your needs. An autoresponder is where you’ll keep your emails, find your opt-in code, keep an eye on tracking – how many subscribers are actually opening your emails, etc. So it’s imperative that you have a reliable autoresponder company!

Those are just three tips of 101 that you will find in the 101 Smart and Easy Mailing List Strategies guide. If you want to start a mailing list or already have a mailing list pick up your copy of
101 Smart and Easy Mailing List Strategies for easy to follow tips that will help you build a strong business foundation – your list!

I Get Paid Every Friday For Real Free to Join

I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData (youdata.com). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid for giving them my attention. I can use the funds to buy music and video online, donate to charities, give to my favorite blogs and websites, or keep the change myself and do whatever I want with it.

It's real. They pay. You should check it out.

Click this link to sign up. My MeFile ID, rastadata, in the "Referral Code" will tell them I sent you. Start getting paid click here.

With most paid to read sites you click and that is that. I click here and it is something I like and if at the time I cannot purchase anything I could always go back to my account activity and click on the advertiser's site and buy when I want. I really enjoy YouData, this is something new. I know the economy is really down now, I don't see this as a get rich site, it is a loaf of bread site it you want to look at it in money terms. I just like it the way it is and happy YouData exist.

Cocoa vs. Depression

Hi Everyone Another Mom's Message

I just read something all females knew already. Cocoa works good for depression. Most of the prescribed drugs for depression have side effects that is unhealthy and dangerous, a study came out that cocoa have natural ingredient that works well for depression.

I read in MedTalk.com about a study that was done to prove this. Here is the link to get the complete information http://www.natmedtalk.com/mind-energy-exercise/3528-cocoa-vs-depression.html.

Can you imagine how much money was spent to do that research?

All they could have done was to ask us females. Did they know that is why we love chocolate, it helps us cope (with home life, children, husbands, and just the things we have to go through).

I turned Vegan about 17 years ago, I was so upset I could not find chocolate without milk. When I did find the right chocolate I was in heaven. I don't know what to say about the people around me at that time before chocolate.

The study was pretty interesting. I thought I would share with everybody. Here is the link again. http://www.natmedtalk.com/mind-energy-exercise/3528-cocoa-vs-depression.html

My next blog will be about how to make money on the Internet without spending any money.

A Mother's Work is Never Done and That's Just Fine with Her A Mother’s Work is Never Done and That’s Just Fine with Her Ask any mom how becoming a m

A Mother’s Work is Never Done
and That’s Just Fine with Her Ask any mom how becoming a mother feels
and she’ll tell you it is the greatest experience of her life. Nothing
can top motherhood! Ask her again after a few months of little to no
sleep, when her 2 year old has ransacked the entire house or her
teenager has just started driving. She may give you an overwhelmed look
and let out a heavy sigh, but her reply will remain the same. She
wouldn’t trade the title Mom for the world, even on her child’s worst
day. Just take a look at some of these real-life examples to see what
we mean.

One mom of two, ages 4 and 5, had this to say when asked what she finds
the hardest, yet most rewarding part of being a mom.
“I find disciplining them really hard. Sometimes you just want to give
in and make peace, but when you hold out, they really start to get it
and become better people.

I also love answering their questions, but find them challenging at
times. They ask me what certain words mean or why something is a
certain way. Often, they're asking about things no 4 or 5 year old
should be concerned with. Not that they're taboo things or anything,
just complex things that are tough to explain.”

Here’s what another mom of 2, ages 9 and 1, feels makes it all
worthwhile. “The other day my 21 month old was testing every thing with
Mom. Getting into things he knew he shouldn't be, throwing tantrums and
refusing to take his nap. You name it he was trying his hardest to see
how far he could get with me. Needless to say, no work got done that
day, the house was a disaster and this mama needed a break! I was
almost ready to give up and say "Oh go ahead and tear all the DVDs off
the shelf and have fun! Then, he came running up to me with the biggest
smile on his face and his arms outstretched and gave me a big hug,
patted my back and puckered his lips for a kiss! My heart melted, I
smiled back, gave him a kiss and told him I loved him while all the
stress and built up frustration of the day melted away!”

Being a mother is the toughest job any woman will ever have, but it
also takes top honors as the most satisfying. There is nothing else in
life that can make a woman ready to pull her hair out and scream, while
evoking an extreme feeling of love at the exact same moment in time.
Moms invest so much in their children, most of which goes unnoticed
until they are older. She gets tired, but never gives up because she
knows the rewards for her perseverance will be awesome.

A mother’s work is never complete. Even when her children are grown and
have children of their own she wouldn’t want it any other way.

Making Money Selling Other People's Stuff

I've been doing a lot of reading lately about Private Label Rights (PLR) content. I used to think that it was only for lazy people who didn't want to do their own writing. But as I learn more, I've come up with lots of great ways I can use PLR in my own business.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, PLR is content that you get from the original author along with their permission to use it as your own. So you can get a great report, put your name on it and have your own product to sell or give away!

And although I haven't been through everything yet, what I have read is very good quality. It's stuff you would actually want to use as your own.

Since it's free, I highly recommend that you check out PLRWholesaler and see if they have anything that you can use in your business. There just may be an ebook or audio recording that you could quickly brand with your information and start selling to your list.

Check it out and let me know what you think... Here

New/Expecting Moms Message

Many pregnant women and new moms come face to face with the question of whether or not they should return to work after having a baby. For some, the decision is easy. For others, it can be very difficult. Your dilemma may be based on personal issues (you enjoy your career and don't want to give it up) or financial issues (you can't afford to stay at home). Whatever your situation, hopefully we can help.

The most important question you should be asking yourself is, "What is best for my baby?" If you feel that your child will benefit more with you at home, stay home. If you feel that you would go insane being at home all day, you may want to consider going back to work. You may be able to work part-time, allowing you to work and have a little more time to spend with your new baby compared to working full-time.

Money is usually one of the main factors in determining if you should stay at home or not. I say that if you feel it is best for you and your family for you to stay at home, do so. You may be thinking that it is easier said than done with overwhelming financial obligations however there are ways that mothers (and fathers too) can stay at home with their children and earn an income. One option would be for you to work from home. It is possible to work from home.

Medical transcription is one of the fastest growing home-based professions in the country.

Medical transcriptionists translate doctor dictated audio files into an electronic typed format.

Because of the nature of the work, most medical transcriptionists are able to work from home.

Let Career Step's quality, internationally recognized medical training program help you learn the secrets of working at home and making a great income. Train at home using our online, Internet-based training program.

There are many benefits of working from home; the most obvious being spending time with your child/children. Other benefits include:
  • no daycare expenses
  • no long commutes
  • you set your own schedule
  • quality time with your family
  • income and benefits


Don't sacrifice your time with your children due to financial obligations. If you feel it is best to stay at home with your children, stay home and work from home. You can do it!



Be There When It Counts; work at home as a Medical Transcriptionist!


With the flexibility of working at home everyday can be different. You won't have to worry about expensive daycare, long commutes to the office, or spending money on a fancy wardrobe.

You get to spend your time and money on the thing that really counts... your FAMILY! You can be there for all the important events in your children's lives! When you work at home and set your own schedule you will gain more quality time that you otherwise wouldn't have. There is simply no substitute for you!


Here's what you'll be getting rid of:

  • Expensive daycare
