Mark Anastasi’s List Building Weekend.
ByWhat a weekend!
So much to share. I went to the event expecting some hard sales, and in fairness there was a quite a bit tagged onto the end of pitches, but a lot of golden nuggets in between.
One of the best tips that I thought would really work well to build a list fast, was adswaps. Now in the past I have always thought that you would need a really big list already before anyone would be ready to work with you on this, but Mark Anastasi explained how to overcome this problem.
Basically if your list is smaller than the person your doing the swap with, you would simply email your list several times thus giving your new JV partner the same value as yourself. He began his own list building in this exact same way.
So this kind of opens up a new avenue for anyone with a list of just a few hundred subscribers. The main thing as always is to offer value. Make sure whoever your dealing with does not go away feeling short changed.
Another reason for me going to this event was to network. Unfortunately I suffered a back problem a few months ago and I had re-occurence of the problem over the weekend. I think sitting still for hours on end caused this. I wanted to mix with people after the event each evening but always ended up hobbling back to my hotel in agony.
I did however meet one interesting character. His name is Mark Lyford. Now Mark has had his fair share of troubles in the last few years and this even resulted in him doing a bit of bird, but lessons to be learned in the face of adversity and all that. He has had time to plan and has launched http://millionairechallenge.tv/ I think this guy is really going places and its well worth visiting his site. I think the lesson to learn is to never let your dreams die. If you want something bad enough then you find a way to make it happen.
Look out for some more golden nuggets from the list building weekend shortly.

Hi Greg
Thanks for the comment. I have loads more to share with you in the next few days. There was some really inspirational speakers over the weekend.
You do have to switch off when it came to the sales part, or you would have your hand in the wallet far to many times.
Speak to you soon.
