The Maverick Marketer Blog

We had a great call last night. Mike Filsaime packed a lot of answers about how me profits from viral list building in just 90 minutes. Live attendees got a real treat.

Good news is that the recording is in the works and will be posted tomorrow first thing (I’ll email you the link).

But that’s not why I’m posting today.

You may remember that I have TWO calls back to back this week, and TONIGHT is the second call, with Tom Kulzer, founder of Aweber (the autoresponder company that I recommend — for beginners and advanced alike).

Let’s just put it this way, my Maverick Marketer list is on Tom’s service… so I’m a customer of his, too.

Tom is a certified genius and expert at everything to do with getting your email delivered and opened by your subscriber.

See, Tom is the founder of one the top rated autoresponder companies and he sees day in and day out what is working today in email.

So if you have questions about autoresponders, how email gets delivered, complying with spam laws, getting your email opened, and delivering what your subscribers want…

Tom’s got the answers.

Of course, we want to cover YOUR questions, too, so if you have a question for Tom and you want to register for this call so you can get the audio recording if you can’t make it live, click here.

This call is literally MONTHS in the planning and I can’t wait to ask him your questions.

So go to http://www.maverickmarketer.com/asktom and tell me what your question is for Tom (and if you don’t have a question, just say "no question" and follow the instructions to register for the call).

If you can’t make the call tonight, REGISTER for the call anyway because I will announce when the audio is available only to those who said they wanted to on the call.

See you tonight…

P.S. I will post the audio of last night’s call with Mike Filsaime tomorrow… and alert those who registered where to listen to it.

When you’re just starting out in Internet Marketing, it can feel a bit like pushing a boulder up a hill.

Just when you get the boulder to the top, it rolls down over you, leaving you flat as a pancake.

Of course, because you have a dream to earn your living online online, you get back up again the next day and put your shoulder to the rock and start pushing again.

If you’re a fan of Greek mythology, you’ll recognize this is the story of Sisyphus.

Unlike Sisyphus, whose punishment in the afterlife was to push this boulder back up the hill for eternity, your journey to mastering the Internet business can be a much quicker trip… something you’ll look back on and chuckle.

But right now, you probably have a day job or fixed income, or just a dream, and you want get results fast.

Well, you’re in the right place. As a Maverick Marketer reader, you are learning the secrets of today’s most successful Internet marketers.

I work to go find the answers to your questions from my own 21 year experience in direct marketing, and from my network of friends and contacts in the industry who I know personally have created the results YOU are after.

Now, let’s make a list of things you need for your Internet business…

1) offer something people want to buy (a profitable niche product, an affiliate product that solves a problem, etc.) It doesn’t have to be your product, can be one you recommend for a commission.

2) a website to send people to (if you are not offering your own product, you don’t need a fancy website, either).

3) prospects (traffic) to go to your website (there are a variety of free and paid ways to get traffic).

Right? Isn’t that pretty much it?

Ok, well, as I’ve preached here before, you really need to build a list of prospects FIRST before you worry too much about a product to sell or a website and all that.

What you need the most is to offer something that a group of people want to buy

Then you should offer them a TASTE of what they want in exchange for joining your list.

Then… once you have them on your list, you find out what they WANT to buy and go get it for them… either by producing it yourself or by finding a product you can recommend for a commission.

Now here’s the trick.

When you are first starting out, the steps involved in doing that can seem overwhelming if you don’t know much about computers and don’t know how to create websites.

And when you don’t have much time each week to devote to your business, and your budget is tight… you need to get as much leverage as you can so that your business has a chance to grown while YOU are out keeping your day job.

Reason I’m telling you all this is that viral marketing and Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing model help you solve each of these challenges quickly and easily… and your business can grow while you do what you have to do.

See, Mike did what YOU want to do.

He went from high stress day job to Internet millionaire in just a few short years. He was busy, he didn’t know much about computers, and he leveraged his time and built a huge list using his Butterfly Marketing strategies.

He’s developed the simple tools to not only have a site but to turn it into a viral profit machine that will grow by itself once you lay the ground work.

As you know, tonight I’m hosting a teleseminar with Mike Filsame where I’m going to ask him the questions YOU’VE askd ME about his journey from where YOU are to where HE is.

You’re going to find out…

1) how to build a list fast… even if you don’t have one now using viral marketing.

2) how to apply his strategies to YOUR niche… so you can watch your list build all on it’s own on autopilot.

3) how to profit in the quickest, cheapest, and easiest way possible .

If you don’t know what viral marketing is or why it could help you build a list and kick off your Internet business with a bang, I highly suggest you register for this exclusive interview with Mike Filsaime.

He’s a master of explaining how to do what he did.

Once you register for the call, you’ll be notified of how to listen to the recording in case you can’t make the call live.

Just click on the link below and you’ll be asked to fill in your biggest question about viral marketing (and if you don’t have ANY question, just say ‘no question’.

Then… you’ll be redirected to a page to register for the call… with just your first name and email address.

Here’s the link: http://www.maverickmarketer.com/askmike

Whether you are beginner or advanced, you’ll get a lot of of this call. The questions I got from my survey are specific, to the point, and when Mike answers them you’re going to see a whole new possiblity for building your business that really isn’t all that hard.

It’s sure easier than pushing a boulder up a hill or worrying about the bills every month… in fact, once you have someone showing you the way, it’s a lot more like pushing a boulder DOWN HILL.

See you tonight…

P.S. Don’t forget that tomorrow, Wednesday, I’ve got email and autoresponder expert, Tom Kulzer on a call for you. Watch your inbox tomorrow for details.

Last week I wrote an email announcing my exclusive call with Butterfly Marketing Master, Mike Filsaime, tomorrow night at 9pm Eastern.

I asked what your biggest questions are about the viral list building strategies Mike teaches. The questions I got back are fantastic… and answering them is going to make this an extremely valuable call.

If you are interested in building an email list quickly and easily (even if you are just starting out), then just go to http://www.maverickmarketer.com/askmike and ask your question.

You’ll be able to register for the call right after your question is submitted.

(By the way, even if you can’t make it to the call, REGISTER anyway because I will follow up with everyone who did and announce when the audio is available for those who can’t be on the LIVE call… If you don’t register you’ll miss out…plus more as you’ll see in a minute).

So far, the majority of the questions I got focused on what single strategy is the best to get started… but many asked, ‘What IS viral marketing’.

Wow, I felt pretty silly. I had taken for granted that everyone knows what that is… and I am so glad I asked for feedback.

For now, let me just say viral list building occurs when ‘word of mouth’ spreads about you and people are drawn to you from all over as more and more people hear about you and sign up for your list.

I’m going to ask Mike specific strategies for getting this started and what the key elements are that make it work so well when you do it right.

I also said last week that I’d have autoresponder and email delivery guru Tom Kulzer would be my guest on WEDNESDAY, at 9pm EASTERN, that means I’ve got back to back calls this week.

And it works out in your favor… because viral list building will require that you know about and understand autoresponders, and Tom Kulzer is the founder of the top rated autoresponder service that I use for my Maverick Marketer newsletter.

We’re going to go over the issues everyone is asking about… ‘how do you get your email delivered’, ‘what’s working’, and ‘how do you pick the right emailing solution’.

Building your list right and getting your email delivered and opened is an essential topic that matches nicely with the topic of viral list building.

If you are just starting out, these two calls will give you a great foundation for what to do next.

To keep it simple to sign up for each call, if you sign up for tomorrow night’s call with Mike Filsaime I’ll instantly email you the details for that… and the next day, Wednesday, you’ll get the call in details for the call with Tom Kulzer (and I’ll send you an invitation to ask your questions about Tom’s call, too).

So go ask your biggest question about viral marketing and register for Mike Filsaime’s call now… we’re going to get YOUR questions answered.
