List Building Tools - Benefits of List Building- Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

If you're one of those internet marketers that assume list building is only for the gurus at the top of the food chain, think again.

There are actually many benefits that internet marketers of any level can enjoy from this practice.

You've been avoiding this part of your business for far too long. Consider the advantages of list building listed below:

* You can provide periodic emails with your unbiased opinion about certain products you've used or recently discovered that might benefit them in some way. Of course, you'd have your affiliate link embedded in the offer just in case a few might want to purchase the product for themselves…. CHING!
* You can begin creating your own information products and offer them a discount for being a part of your list of loyal customers… CHING!
* You can offer your services at a discounted rate for a limited time to subscribers only… CHING!
* You can inform them about new promotional materials you have for your affiliates (who… by the way earn 50% of all sales they generate) and if anyone is interested they can sign up and start promoting some of your products and services… CHA! CHING!

Always take the high road, it is a lot less crowded and much easier to navigate.

List Building Tools | Essential for Any Online Business | 12SC Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

List building is a crucial element of any online business today. Building a list entails keeping a collection of prospects who are within easy access of contact.

Of course, to make list buildingg work for you, you must have the tools to have them sign up to your list to gather the leads. With a little bit of creativity and a lot of persistence, your email list can end up consisting of many thousands of customers and interested prospects.

There are many benefits to list building here are just a few of them:

So what are the benefits of list building?

1. Building Relationships
When you email your list regularly, you build a relationship with them. They will learn to trust you and look forward to your emails, particularly if you are constantly providing free, helpful information that will interest them. For that reason it is also essential to know exactly what your list prospects want and need.

2. More Sales
After you begin providing free information to your list prospects they will be more likely to purchase from you. Regardless if they sign up to your list without initially purchasing something from you, you will stand a better chance of converting them after sending a sequence of emails. It is said that it can take up to 7 points of contact before someone purchases from you. Having built a list of prospects allows you the perfect opportunity to reach this point – without over doing it, of course. There is a fine line between helping your prospects and annoying them with constant contact.

3. Branding Yourself
You earn recognition by building a list. You can become an authority in your niche of choice. People may start talking about you and word of mouth can, of course, lead to increased business and a larger email list.

There simply is no better way to build a long term business than by taking advantage of list building, whether online or offline. Both online and offline businesses can benefit from list building. Although we have talked about emailing a list in this article, the same can be done via snail mail (or regular postal mail) and you can build your offline list in similar ways.

List building must be considered an essential part of any business plan. It will increase your bottom line dramatically and will allow you to build unparalleled relationships with your customers and prospects.

12 Second Commute |How to Help Your Downline | Jim Roche NJ | Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

If you want to take your business to the next level, you need to start with your downline because if you help them and they stay with you, your business will explode. If you ignore them which too many sponsors do, they will quit and you will have a revolving door of clients.

It takes 80% less money to keep a client than it does to get a new one, so if your cost to acquire a client is $100, your cost to keep that client happy is only $20 and personally I would rather spend $20 to keep someone happy than $100 to find someone new and have to start all over again.

One of the tools you get with the 12 Second Commute is called the URL Rotator and the rotator simply allows you to create one master URL or link and then place other links under it so as people click on the master URL, they are automatically directed to the links under it.

For example, let's say you are promoting Program T and I am promoting Program T. In your ads, you tell people that when they join Program T with you that you are going to give them advertising to help them get started. I am too cheap to do this and I just want people to join me in Program T and then they are on their own.

Who do you think is going to build Program T faster, you or me? You will because you are offering help to your clients while I am just offering to take their money.

Another way to help your downline is to use your Ad Tracker in the 12 Second Commute and track every ad and every link you have on the Internet. This is going to save you immediate money because you will know where your hits are coming from which means you don't waste time and money on advertising that will not work. And, it will allow you to pass this information to your downline.

Using the same Program T example as above, let's say you have been tracking your ads for 6 months and you know exactly how much you have spent on advertising and how many hits you got from all your advertising and you can take this information and know exactly how much money it takes to run your business.

You tell your prospects that when they join Program T with you that you are going to share this valuable information with them and you can also tell them how much money they are going to have to spend to get profitable.

Since I am only after their money and I am not smart enough to track my ads, I just spend crazy money on advertising and I never know whether or works or not and I have zero data to pass to my downline.

Who are people going to join with? You, because you'll tell them exactly how much it will cost them to get profitable and that is what people want and need to know.

Does doing this take a little time and energy? Yes, but it will pay off 10 fold for you because you are going the extra mile for your downline and they will stick with you. And, you will teach them to do the same, so not only will your down line grow but theirs will as well which brings more money to you and since people are not jumping ship each month, you can start counting on a certain amount of money each month as will your downline and you are now well on your way to achieving the success you desire and deserve.

Zig Ziglar said it best: "You can get anything in life you want; if you just help enough other people get what they want". Help your downline using the tools and resources you get in 12 Second Commute and you will soon see an amazing increase in your business.

Business Building Online Marketing Tools | Angie Mitchell Submitted by Angie Mitchell

The fastest way to building a business is to give away something of value. Not something you think is valuable; something your target market thinks is valuable.

This approach has been around for centuries and it works just as well now as it did back then.

Give real value without asking for compensation. Make people feel good, when they get that feeling without spending any money, they're going to remember it.

You have to know what your customers and prospects are looking for, and you need to find a way to get it for them without consuming too much of your resources.

What can you do?

No matter what business you're building, you have knowledge and resources that is of value to your customers. Capture some of it and put it into a nice format, make it look appealing. Then give it away.

When they come back, they'll feel a whole lot better about spending money with you because you have already done your part — you gave them something they found value in and asked for nothing in return.

"There is a secret psychology to money," says T. Harv Eker, internationally known speaker and author of 11 top-selling books and courses, "Most people don't know about it, that's why most people never reach their financial potential."

Eker explains, "Your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world! A lack of money is not a problem, it is merely a symptom of what's going on underneath! The fastest and only way to permanently change your financial situation on the outside, is to first change it on the inside." T. Harv Eker

I'm not psychic and I'm no genius but give me 5 minutes, and I'm pretty sure I can predict your financial future! How? By identifying your financial and success blueprint.

We all have a financial and success blueprint already ingrained in our subconscious. It's extremely important to recognize what your own financial blueprint is set for. Is it success, mediocrity or failure, struggle or ease, high or low earnings, consistent or inconsistent income, spending or saving, picking winning investments or picking losers?

One way is to look at your results!

If you keep doing the same over and over chances are you will keep getting the same results.

If the temperature in a room is 68 degrees, chances are the thermostat is set for 68. Regardless of whether you are making $25,000 or $400,000 per year, unless you raise your 'internal financial blueprint' you will never substantially raise your income or net worth.

Unfortunately for most people, your current blueprint will stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you identify it and change it.

If you have a home based business or work online doing internet marketing there is a powerful, suite of online marketing tools that will do just that. Change the way you manage and market your business, be it online or offline.

With this particular set of online tools you will learn how to completely recondition yourself for financial freedom.

For some people, the change will happen very quickly for others not so much. That depends on you. You determine how successful you will become.

There is absolutely no lack of training and support with this marketing and opportunity service. As long as you are ready and willing to succeed, take advantage of the what you are being offered and put your plan into action… if you can do that then you are moving in the right direction.

There is simply nothing else offered like this.

Mentoring, training, marketing and advertising plus the tools to make it all happen. The people involved go above and beyond. If that sounds like something you could use then I'd urge you to get started.

Take initiative of your finances and your future. If you like what you see and can see how this is only going to take your business to the next level, I'd like to speak with you.

I'm going to give you something of value and I'm going to give you 30 days to see this value… business tools!

Hey, I'm Angie Mitchell... and this is my good friend Jim Roche.

I'm relatively new to the online marketing scene myself but I'm extremely happy to say that I have drastically shortened the learning curve.

I never struggled with where to go and what to do because I partnered up with Jim Roche NJ pretty much right away and together with our skills we have helped each other become successful.

We know that you do NOT have to be good at everything, you just have to be really good at some things.

This is our secret. Instead of being in business for ourselves, he does what he does best and I do what I do best, we outsource to each other and we've seen results.

We have found that working as a team, he doing the technical stuff and myself doing the creative copy stuff, we have been able to help our eager team members get on the path to seeing success as well. Some want to be left to their own devices and that's OK too...

For us, Keyword Rich Content and Article Marketing Is The Ticket!

However, we are not alone in this process. 12 Second Commute with all the training and support has lightened the load.

No matter what program, product or service you are working online, you have to understand that using online marketing tools is only going to benefit you and your online business.

The amount of value you get with an account here is unbelievable.

Personally, I'd recommend kicking Get Response and Aweber to the curb...

12 Second Commute is far more superior in our opinion.

But don't take our word for it. See for yourself.

If you don't check it out, I know exactly why you're hesitant... it's because everybody and their dog is telling you they have the latest and greatest and it's hard to know who to believe. I understand that.

Where else on the internet will you find Autoresponders, Contact Manager, Ad Trackers, Capture Page Creator, Affiliate Area, URL Rotators, Newbie Training Center, Blog, Video Training, Translation Area, Program Builders, SEO Tools, Smart Page, Conference Center, Purchase Traffic, Bonus Traffic and Hosting all under one roof?

12 Second Commute is an honest business resource and opportunity center unlike anything I've ever come across.

No useless hype at the site or provided by any of the trainers either.

Jim is also a trainer here at 12SC and he puts on his SEO conferences Wednesday night's at 9:30 EST.

There are a total of 4 conferences that cover social networking, SEO, Advertising and basically a informational Q and A on these specific tools. There are a few during the day as well for the people in Europe on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Darryl Graham has been so generous in allowing anyone and everyone to take the entire system for a test drive free for 30 days.

There are not many businesses that have enough faith in their service to do this as the majority of them make you pay a dollar or pay in full up front before they will give you anything.

Actually, I'd prefer to only have it a 10 or 15 day free trail since I know from experience how when given the opportunity to check something out for too long, it gets pushed to the wayside and next thing you know... you just never get around to it. Oh well, not my rules to make.

If you are a serious person with a serious business goal then I'm confident you won't wait the full 30 days to take action.

Jim and I are super happy paying members of 12 Second Commute and just wanted to share with you why this is the system you MUST get your hands on, or at the very least test out before deciding if you want to continue.

Heres Why | Jim Roche NJ Recommends | 12 Second Commute | 12Sc Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Hi, I'm Darryl Graham and let me tell you a little story about why I created 12SC and what it will do for you.

I started working online in 1999 and soon thereafter I had a partner who understood the importance of building a prospect list.

He tried for a long time to tell me about building and maintaining a prospect list as did others who were making money online, but I just could not see the big picture and did not want to spend the time and money in putting an Autoresponder together.

To make a long story short, we parted ways and he went on to make over $500,000 in less than 2 years while I continued to struggle and fight for survival each day.

Had I listened to him and the others who were hammering me with the truth and telling me to build my prospect list, I too, could have made over $500,000 in those first 4 years, but since I did not listen to reason and do the one thing that was making others extremely wealthy, I lost more than half a million dollars.

I vowed after I finally realized the potential of having my own prospect list that I would help others avoid my mistake, so I created my first Autoresponder around 2004.

My first Autoresponder was good, but people still had to build capture pages and tie the Autoresponder into those capture pages which still took a few hours of work for experienced marketers and many more hours for inexperienced marketers.

In 2009, I started conceptualizing 12SC as I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to build their own prospect list using a service that was easy to use and easy to afford.

In addition to the top of the line Autoresponder, we included all the other tools that are necessary to really succeed online. Tools such as the Ad and Link Tracker, URL Rotator, Capture page creator, conference center, Blog and an affiliate center that would allow our clients to make a little money or a lot of money.

The beauty of 12SC is that everyone who wants to build their own prospect list can now do so and they can be up and running in minutes and since our number one goal is to help our clients, we even do your setup once you upgrade to a paying client.

Your 30 day free trial is so you can see how powerful having access to the tools in 12SC is going to be for you to build any legal business you desire. You are not going to finish building a prospect list in 30 days—in fact, you will never stop building your prospect list unless you want to stop making money.

This is the same reason Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Coke, McDonald's, Dell Computer, Google, Microsoft and every other successful business online or offline never stop advertising. Your list is your advertising resource for the future.

Let me give you some examples:

Scenario One—You have no prospect list: You come across a product that you want to sell to make a little money so you spend money and time advertising that product to try and make sales and if you make sales, great and if you don't, you lose all your money. 99 times out of 100, you don't even make enough money to break even as you are doing a cold sale to people you don't know and they don't know you.

This cycle continues for as long as you refuse to build your own prospect list. You find something you want to sell, you pay and spend time on advertising for the product and if you get really-really lucky, you break even once in a while but more often than not, you lose money.

By having 12SC and being able to constantly build your own prospect list, you avoid this cycle of futility.

Scenario Two—You have no prospect list that you own: Let's say you have been with a company for 12 months selling vitamins or whatever and they have supplied you with nice capture pages and pre-written Autoresponder messages that are sent from their system. All you have to do is promote their capture page and when someone subscribes to get more information, their company Autoresponder does all the follow up. Nice, but only good for the company because if you ever wanted to promote anything else to that list, you can't because it is not your list. If and when you leave that company, all those prospects are now the property of the company and they can do whatever they want with them. This sucks because it was you who spent the time and money to get those people into the company's Autoresponder, but it is their Autoresponder and not yours.

All you can do is walk away empty handed…

Scenario Three—You have a 12SecondCommute.com Account: You have been with 12SC for only a few months but you have been building your own prospect list using your own Autoresponder and customized capture page. Now when you come across a great product you want to sell, all you do is login to your own 12SC Autoresponder, click a few buttons and send a Broadcast message to your entire list with your link to the great product. Depending on the size of your list and your rapport you have with your prospects, every sale you make is 100% pure profit and the entire process took you less than 5 minutes.

You continue growing your prospect list and you continue to send helpful information and great products to your prospects as you find them. They continue buying from you; your list continues to grow as does the amount of money you make.

If you never stop growing your prospect list, you will never stop making money.

The main goal of 12SC is to allow you to easily start building your prospect list using our Quick Start System and then through our online conferences and first class customer support we are going to educate you over time on how to use the other tools and resources in 12SC.

Upgrade your 12SC account today, attend our conferences and stick with it. Grow your list, let us train you on everything you need to succeed online and don't ever quit on your dream because dreams do come true and I am living proof of it.
