The TIME Magazine, November 6, 2006 Business Supplement for home delivery featured an article by Senior Writer, Andrea Sachs.

MySpace is a modern social phenomenon. Its accelerated growth is unmatched. But how did it grow and how did it grow so fast? After all, there were dozens of social networking sites preceeding it (Friendster, Classmates, and Ryze to name a few) but none have flourished as MySpace has. There are a couple of reasons, in my opinion, why MySpace has succeeded to a degree that none of the others have. First off, it is completely free to use the site. Secondly, MySpace allows for anybody to post links to other websites. In an o
Top 10 Ways to Quickly Build Your List
-------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wondered how many times you have
heard this comment/suggestion/mantra from the gurus:
"YOU HAVE TO BUILD YOUR OWN LIST"
If you are trying to market on the internet;
probably,too many times for you to count.
Unfortunately, it's also true - the real successful
marketers build a loyal and faithful list of subscribers.
This is nothing new - we usually buy things from
people we know and trust.
We regularly go back to our favorite shops/stores/dealers
because we trust them and know we will get a quality
product or service.
It's not surprising then that your opt-in list can
be one of your most effective marketing tools.
If we agree that we have to build it - just how is it done?
Many of these same gurus don't tell us how or charge
us an "arm and a leg" to find their precious "secrets".
Well, save your money!
Here are 10 simple, quick and easy ways to build that
all important list.
1. Location Put your subscribe box or link on all
pages of your website. Make sure it is at the top of your
home page - usually the right hand side. Some marketers put
it at the top and bottom of their pages!
2. Use Pop-up Add a pop-up. They might be annoying
but they work! Place an exit pop-up and offer some
free 'goodies' for subscribing to your list. Free
ebook/membership/report. Anything of quality.
3. Benefits Describe the benefits of signing up.
The "What's in it for me" question. List reasons one must
have your ezine. Quality information should be at the top of
your list.
4. Free Keep it free! Offer an ecourse for free -
five or six lessons over a period of time. This will also
help you build a relationship with your subscribers.
5. Repeat No. 4 Offer a free ebook or two!! Your
own or some of the high quality ones floating around - pick
one that lets you brand it with your own affiliate links.

other ezines and sites. In the author's resource box place a

In the disaster field office there are three simple yet absolute rules to managing media relations. Businesses, celebrities, and even hospitals have created for themselves foibles and catastrophes due to a basic lack in the ability to manage media relations and the press. These problems stem from the fact that most failed to understand that the press serves the same people that they serve. Whether you are a corporation, a small business, a healthcare facility, or a movie star the press speaks at one time en masse to yo

Businesses tend to avoid doing their annual business plan thinking that it is an arduous task that does not accomplish much. Formulating your annual plan is, however, critical to your business success and if done correctly should be quick, easy and generate bottom line results.Rather than creating a business plan that achieves no results, other than to gather dust, you should be writing a strategic and operational plan. The words ‘strategic’ and ‘operational’ are important as they give purpose and results to the p

What happens when your MQ, or what I call Media Intelligence drops?Does this fall over time or because of your actions or behaviours.I believe poor decisions can lead to actions and behavious that decrease your MQ.This in turn impacts on your reputation.Think low MQ people and the names Paul Wolfowitz from the World Bank, Ben Cousins from the West Coast Eagles and Paris Hilton come to mind because of their recent actions that have eroded goodwill with their stakeholders or fans.Understa

7. Entertain Make sure you keep your hard won
subscribers by writing an entertaining and informative
newsletter. Basically, describe what works for you in an
interesting way. Write it as if you're chatting to your
subscriber over a cup of coffee or something a little stronger!
8. Use a Sig File Put your ezine link in your
signature file and use it with every e-mail that you send.
You will be surprised at how many e-mails you do send and
the number of sign-ups you will get. Again, point out the
benefits of joining your ezine.
9. Be Yourself Write or make your own products.
Name recognition does count! Many free directories and sites
will list your free product if it's written by you - this
can be a great source of subscribers.
Can't write - then get permission and compile a list of
articles by others into an ebook. This can be a quick
and fast way to get your name linked to high quality
information and marketers. Again, quality counts.
10. Viral, Viral, Viral Make your list viral. Ask
readers to pass it on to their friends and their lists. If
they like your ezine or you - they will.
If you're having trouble building your list - don't give
up until you try these ten simple steps. Many of these steps
can be done in just a few hours of work and you will see a
healthy increase in the number of subscribers to your ezine
or list.
Go get 'em!
