<p>Did you enter?</p>
<p>All you had to do was to have the new ListHero &#8220;exit grabber&#8221; popup window code installed and working on your website.</p>
<p>Everyone who entered was then given 10,000 extra ListHero exposure points for their newsletter ad. This means they got 1,000 views of their ad on other people&#8217;s websites, it was pretty sweat deal for a couple of minutes worth of work.</p>
<p><strong>Then what we did was to pick out 5 winners.</strong></p>
<p>Those 5 winners had their ListHero account upgraded to SUPER ListHero status with a bonus of 1,000,000 exposure points.</p>
<p><strong>So who won exactly?</strong></p>
<p>Here are the names of the 5 lucky winners with a link to their websites!&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Malc Crawford</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.elliejess.com">http://www.elliejess.com</a></p>
<p><strong>David Phillips</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.davidsbest.com">http://www.davidsbest.com</a></p>
<p><strong>Cameron Joseph Degale</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.pickwinas2dayforever.info">http://www.pickwinas2dayforever.info</a></p>
<p><strong>George Olding</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.webmarketinghelp.com">http://www.webmarketinghelp.com</a></p>
<p><strong>Jan Ong</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.trafficlucky.com">http://www.trafficlucky.com</a></p>
<p><strong>If this is you congratulations!</strong></p>
<p>Your ListHero membership has now been upgraded to &#8220;SUPER ListHero&#8221; status&#8230;</p>
<p>Just login to your ListHero account and visit step 8 (ListHero Advanced) where you can pick up all your listbuilding bonuses.</p>
<p>Now on step 6 you&#8217;ll also have complete control over your ListHero newsletter ads appearance.</p>
<p>Everyone else who entered AND had the ListHero &#8220;exit grabber&#8221; popup window installed on their website will get 10,000 exposure points added to their account within the next 24 hours.</p>
<p>Why not login to your ListHero account now&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Get each step completed&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll then start sending you subscribers&#8230; (but only when each step is done)&#8230;</p>

If you&#8217;d like to make your list more responsive to your offers here&#8217;s what I want you to do&#8230;
Step 1: Make sure you&#8217;re using a professional autoresponder like this one here:

<p>If you&#8217;d like to make your list more responsive to your offers here&#8217;s what I want you to do&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Make sure you&#8217;re using a professional autoresponder like this one here:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ListHero.com/autoresponder" target="_blank">http://ListHero.com/autoresponder</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 2: </strong>Write at least 3 messages to add to your autoresponder. The first message should ask the question&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s your single biggest question about ____ that would help you ____ more effectively&#8221;</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need to change the blanks to suite your list and target audience</p>
<p>You can use a service like <strong><a href="http://surveymonkey.com" target="_blank">Survey Monkey</a></strong> (that&#8217;s who we use and they&#8217;re great!)</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: </strong>Login to your ListHero account and write the best ad ever for your newsletter or list (this gets your more subscribers).</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ListHero.com/login.php" target="_blank">http://ListHero.com/login.php</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 4: </strong>Make sure you enter your autoresponder email address into your ListHero account so we can send your new subscribers there.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> Answer the questions people give you in your survey both individually (one-to-one) and load as extra content for your autoresponder<br />
<em><br />
If you do these things exactly as I say, I promise you your list will become highly responsive in a very short period of time!</em></p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;How do I begin to entice my potential list personnel to want to receive or hear from me over time, before  I begin to offer them something of value?&#8221; <em>Question from Sam</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Let&#8217;s assume it&#8217;s a list of subscribers Sam got from us here at ListHero that he wants to make  more responsive&#8230;</p>
<p>You start out by asking your subscribers a single question&#8230;</p>
<p>Find out what your new subscribers problems are first, then provide them with a solution.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t get any easier than this.</p>
<p>The question you ask could be like this&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s your single biggest question about ____ that would help you ____ more effectively&#8221;</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need to change the blanks to suite your list and target audience. I&#8217;m sure you get the idea.</p>
<p>Just ask your new subscribers to email you back their question.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where the real dialog begins and you start to build a relationship with your list of subscribers&#8230;</p>
<p>Because now they&#8217;ve told you how you can help them, through their question&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you see how easy this is?&#8230;</p>
<p>Just write back to those people who ask you a question&#8230; giving them your best answer and so proving your expertise.</p>
<p>Now what you do is you take that question and your answer and you ADD it to your autoresponder sequence of messages.</p>
<p>You can even add this same content to your blog or website!</p>
<p>This way your other subscribers also benefit from your answer and it gives you the extra content you need.</p>
<p>Because you&#8217;re using an autoresponder system your new subscribers will get this new content from you automatically.</p>
<p>More importantly&#8230;</p>
<p>In asking this question you&#8217;ll ALSO get to know very quickly what products and services you can offer to your subscribers (as an affiliate) to help them solve their common problems.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s &#8220;exactly&#8221; how you monetize your list.</p>
<p>Now in Sam&#8217;s case he already has a list so he should just start out by asking them the question I mentioned earlier.</p>
<p>Whilst your list is small you have the luxury of being able to personally reply to every question that&#8217;s asked. As your list gets bigger just pick the best questions people ask, but make it clear this is what you&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>Imagine how much more responsive and loyal people will be to you when they &#8220;personally&#8221; get to make contact with you&#8230; as you help them solve a specific problem they have.</p>
<p>However&#8230;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s one word of warning that comes with this approach&#8230;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t train your list to &#8220;only&#8221; expect content from you.</p>
<p>Because then when you go to make them an offer &#8230;like buy something from your recommendation (through your affiliate link) your responses  will be extremely low.</p>
<p>What you should focus on is mixing content with offers 50/50&#8230;</p>
<p>Listen up&#8230;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to make your list more responsive to your offers here&#8217;s what I want you to do&#8230;</p>
<p>Step 1: Make sure you&#8217;re using a professional autoresponder like this one here:</p>
<p>http://ListHero.com/autoresponder</p>
<p>Step 2: Write at least 3 messages to add to your autoresponder. The first message should ask the question&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s your single biggest question about ____ that would help you ____ more effectively&#8221;</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need to change the blanks to suite your list and target audience.</p>
<p>Step 3: Login to your ListHero account and write the best ad ever for your newsletter or list (this gets your more subscribers).</p>
<p>http://ListHero.com/login.php</p>
<p>Step 4: Make sure you enter your autoresponder email address into your ListHero account so we can send your new subscribers there.</p>
<p>If you do these things exactly as I say, I promise you your list will become highly responsive in a very short period of time!</p>
<p>Remember this&#8230;</p>
<p>The gold is &#8220;NOT&#8221; in the list&#8230; it&#8217;s in your &#8220;relationship&#8221; with your list.</p>
<p>This is why even small lists can generate substantial profits for their owners by following these simple steps.</p>
<p><strong><em>I hope this helps.</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://listheroblog.com/images/125x250TF-longtail.jpg" alt="google long tail keywords tool" title="Adwords And The Amazing Long Tail" /></p>
<p><strong>While building lists using Adwords, how does one generate a list of relevant &#8220;keyword expressions&#8221; to generate leads with a high conversion rate?</strong></p>
<p><em>Here&#8217;s the answer&#8230;</em></p>
<p>High conversions in AdWords are all about using highly targeted keyword phrases.</p>
<p>The main key to this is in using what are called &#8220;long-tail&#8221; keyword phrases because they are extremely specific and extremely targeted.</p>
<p>A long-tail keyword is a keyword phrase people type into a search engine that&#8217;s usually 3-5 (or more) words long.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a great online tool provided by Google that helps you find keywords&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal?defaultView=2" target="_blank">Google Keyword Generation Tool</a></strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a secret technique we use to extract 1,000&#8217;s of long-tail keyword phrases at the press of a button&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to Google.com and search your root keyword phrase (this is usually 1-3 words long).</li>
<li>When you see the the results page for this search copy the entire url for this page.</li>
<li>Go to the online tool I&#8217;ve linked to above then select the button for generating keyword phrases using website content.</li>
<li>Paste the url of the search page you copied in step 2 to where t says: &#8220;Enter a web page URL&#8221;. Then press the &#8220;Get keyword Ideas&#8221; button&#8221;.</li>
</ol>
<p>What happens then is Google goes and searches ALL the websites in the results page you were given earlier for words relating to your root keyword phrase.</p>
<p>This includes all the long-tail keyword phrases found on those websites on the results page.</p>
<p>Keep this under your hat because it&#8217;s a powerful technique few people know about that can generate an infinite number of long-tail keyword phrases for you to use.</p>
<p>Now the thing to bare in mind is these keyword phrases don&#8217;t get lots of traffic, but they DO get you HIGHLY targeted visitors.</p>
<p>Success with AdWords by and large &#8220;also&#8221; comes down to tapping into the frame of mind of the people searching with the keyword phrases you&#8217;ve selected.</p>
<p>So once you&#8217;ve built up your list of long-tail keyword phrases you need to make sure that when people arrive at your lead capture page (AKA squeeze page) that you give them what they&#8217;re looking for. Only then will they enter their names and email addresses.</p>
<p>A way of tapping into the frame of mind of your visitor from an AdWords search is to create a different squeeze page for each keyword phrase you use and include that keyword phrase within the headline of your page.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s more work I know but it does mean that you&#8217;re precisely matching people&#8217;s searches to your offer and maximizing your conversion rate.</p>
<p>I hope this helps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://listheroblog.com/images/number5.gif" alt="number5 5 easy ways to build your list with ListHero"  title="5 Easy Ways To Build Your List With Listhero" /><strong>Here are the 5 best and easiest ways of boosting your subscriptions and sign-ups with ListHero.</strong></p>
<p><em>Only by taking action will you get the results you deserve.</em></p>
<p>The problem is many people are just signing up as ListHero members and expecting hoards of subscribers to just be delivered to them automatically within a matter of days. Then when 30 days have gone past with only 1 subscriber they wonder where they went wrong.</p>
<p>The fact is as with most things in life there are no easy paths to anything worthwhile and list building is no exception. It takes consistent actions over a long period of time to achieve massive results, no matter what others might have told you. But don&#8217;t let this put you off because building a high quality list of subscribers is actually very easy once you know how, when you follow a plan and don&#8217;t ever give up.</p>
<p><strong>ListHero can and will help you become successful online, but only if you follow the 5 part plan I&#8217;m about to reveal.</strong></p>
<p><em>You better make yourseful comfortable because here&#8217;s where the tyres hit the road!</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.listhero.com/autoresponder" target="_blank"></a><strong>1. Create your own website or blog</strong></p>
<p>Having your own website is essential to your ultimate success online, there&#8217;s no reason for not having one because the benefits are so clear. They&#8217;re easy to set up and if you&#8217;re on a limited budget you can even do this for free, so you really have no excuses.</p>
<p>So what should your website or blog be about? We recommend creating an affiliate review website where you review and write about the products you&#8217;ve purchased using your affiliate links within your review recommendations.</p>
<p>Writing reviews and recommendations is what&#8217;s called &#8220;pre-selling&#8221; and is the most powerful way of selling anything online. You see people don&#8217;t like to be sold to, yet they like to buy things with the confidence that they&#8217;ve made the right choice and reading the reviews you&#8217;ve written provides a huge amount of value to everyone. In addition to this you become seen as the &#8220;expert&#8221; in your market because of the honest advice you&#8217;re providing.</p>
<p>Can you see how simple this business model is? If you can read and write you can do this and you don&#8217;t even have to be the worlds best writer, all you do is write just like you speak and have conversations with your readers.</p>
<p>The more formal you write the less friendly you sound which is going to put people off. So write as you speak, after a while you&#8217;ll develop your own style and people will hang on your every word!</p>
<p>Because these are your personal reviews and recommendations of the products you&#8217;ve used no-one else can copy your unique perspective and voice.</p>
<p>So what should your domain name be? If it&#8217;s a review site you&#8217;re creating your domain name should be something like: www.YourNameReviews.com or www.YourNameRecommends.com. Just change where it says &#8220;YourName&#8221; for your name. This way you&#8217;re building a brand name for yourself and it&#8217;s also clear what your website is about, both very important things (and also be sure to get a .com).</p>

<strong>b) </strong><a href="http://www.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a> for a free website and website hosting</p>
<p><strong><em> Action step:</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Create an affiliate review website or blog if you don&#8217;t already have one</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>2. Add the ListHero squeeze box to as many pages of your website as possible</strong></p>
<p>The reason why adding your ListHero squeeze box to as many pages of your website as possible is because this is how you earn more points which gets your newsletter ad seen on other people&#8217;s websites within their ListHero squeeze box.</p>
<p><strong><em>Action step:</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> <a href="http://www.listhero.com/homepage.php" target="_blank"><strong>Login to your ListHero account now</strong></a>: Go to step 4 and install your ListHero squeeze box on as many pages of your website or blog as you can. This helps to get you more subscribers from your website and the websites of other people.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>3. Set up and create your own newsletter</strong></p>
<p><em>So what are you going to offer those people who join your list?</em></p>
<p>You need to think about this really carefully and understand that people will be joining your list ONLY because you promised something of  value and of interest to them in your newsletter advertisement.</p>
<p>As I mentioned above with the idea of creating a review or recommendations website, this follows over to your newsletter which becomes a way of you publishing your newest reviews or recommendations to people via email.<br />
You simply make money by using your affiliate links within your recommendations or reviews.</p>
<p><em>This is what I mean by offering unique value to people.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>U</strong></em><strong><em>seful resources:</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>c) </strong><a href="http://listheroblog.com/index.php/newsletter/ezine/your-e-zine-publishing-success-mindset/" target="_blank">Click here</a> for your newsletter success mindset</p>
<p><strong><em>Action step:</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Plan your newsletter: what&#8217;s it going to be called? what&#8217;s it going to be about? how often will you publish it? What professional autoresponder service will you use to help you manage your subscriptions and broadcast your newsletter to your subscribers?</p>
<p>Also, think about what happens with someone subscribes to your newsletter, will they immediately be sent a back issue they can read until you publish your next newsletter issue? You can do this all automatically with a professional autoresponder system (but not the one provided by your web host or free email account!).</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Choose a <strong><a href="http://listheroblog.com/index.php/list-building/where-can-i-get-newsletter-templates-from/">newsletter template</a></strong>. This is where you add your text and prepare it to add to your autoresponder. I highly recommend writing at least 2 issues of your newsletter in advance to make sure you have something ready to send, because committing to a consistent publishing schedule is essential. Missing publishing deadlines when your subscribers are expecting them makes you look unprofessional and unreliable, which will effect your credibility.</p>
<p><em>If this all sounds like a lot of work I&#8217;m going to tell you that it is, there are no easy routes to success, it takes hard work dedication and persistence to see the rich rewards you&#8217;re most probably seeking. </em></p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> Begin by looking through the hard drive of your PC looking for the products you&#8217;ve purchased in the past, sign up to their affiliate programs and write a review about your experience with those products you&#8217;ve found. Save these reviews you write to a special folder on your PC ready to be added to your newsletter and website.</p>
<p>Be sure to publish each back issue of your newsletter on your website or blog so the search engines can send you traffic their too. On those newsletter back issue pages include your ListHero squeeze box then you can turn the traffic the search engines send you into new subscribers.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>4. Use a professional autoresponder service</strong></p>
<p>Time and time again I see people using their Yahoo or Hotmail email addresses as their autoresponder where ListHero delivers new subscribers to on step 5 form within your ListHero account. This is totally the wrong way of doing it!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what will happen if you use a regular email address (provided by Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, Hotmail) that&#8217;s not a professional autoresponder.</p>
<p>Someone sees your ListHero newsletter advertisement and decides they would like to subscribe, so they enter their email address. Minutes later they get an email from your Yahoo email address with their first message, but then they change their mind and decide that they no longer want to be on this list, so how do they unsubscribe themselves?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no link to click for instant removal of their email address, there&#8217;s no postal address of the person sending them the commercial email so they can&#8217;t easily be contacted to be removed.</p>
<p>In fact the whole thing is beginning to smell a lot like SPAM so your new subscriber reports you to Yahoo for sending spam and your Yahoo account is deleted without notice. And you also risk having your Internet connection removed, again without notice!</p>
<p>For the publisher it gets even worse because without realizing it they&#8217;ve broken the law by sending a commercial email that doesn&#8217;t comply with the CAN-SPAM act of 2003 created by the Federal Trade Commission.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t believe me take a close look at this and see if you&#8217;re in compliance&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.shtm" target="_blank">Click here for the Federal Trade Commissions CAN-SPAM act of 2003</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m telling you about this not to scare you but to warn you that it&#8217;s an easy mistake any newbie to email marketing can make so pay close attention to what you&#8217;re doing. I&#8217;ll show you a safe and easy way to stay within the law later on.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go back to the example of the newbie newsletter publisher above, they&#8217;re using Yahoo to manage their list of new subscribers which is a bad idea from the start. With no automatic removal when someone wants to cancel their subscription they have to manually delete subscribers from their list.</p>
<p>What happens when you have a list of several thousand people further down the line when you use Yahoo (or any other regular email service)? I&#8217;ve got some more news for you&#8230; you&#8217;ve just created a full-time job for yourself of removing unsubscribers from your list! And yes you will get people leaving your list, just as you&#8217;ll always be gaining new subscribers, it comes with the territory, you just need systems in place to help you manage as much as possible all automatically.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the solution but first I need to ask you how serious you are about building your list of subscribers? It&#8217;s your list of subscribers that becomes your biggest asset online, you need to start as you mean to go on and not cut costs and chop off corners because you&#8217;ll regret it later on as your list grows.</p>
<p>The solution is to pay for a professional autoresponder service who provides you with the tools and the training needed to manage your listbuilding activities.</p>
<p>A professional autoresponder also service ensures you comply with the law whenever you send out an email. A professional autoresponder service takes care of anyone who wants to leave your list with a 1 click unsubscription. A professional autoresponder will make it easy for people to join your list and make every message you send out personalized with the subscribers name (if you configure it this way) which is proven to increase response.</p>

<p><strong><em>Action step:</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Sign up for a professional autoresponder service to help you manage the building of your list of subscribers (your biggest online asset).</p>

<p><strong>Step 3: </strong>Login to your ListHero account and go to step 7 then add your new professional autoresponder email address in the box provided directly below the text &#8220;Autoresponder email address:&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
