When I started I didn’t know how to do a teleseminar, which is one of the reasons that I started the way I did. What I learned was that live teleseminars have a much higher conversion ratio and they’re an excellent way to build a list. In the beginning, I ended up recording a whole bunch of private phone conversations between me and someone else, the interviewee.

The cool part about that was that they were recorded, they were short—30 to 45 minutes—and they were going to go up on a webpage, and so, I still have people joining my list and listening to those calls at ListCrusade.com (http://listcrusade.com). The downside was that, though you have a recording of that, there was no urgency for anyone to take action, to buy anything during a recorded call. Still, to get to the calls, they had to join my list.

But a low conversion rate is the case with most recorded calls. There is very little urgency. Why would someone do a call, record it, and then just make that recording available as a primary marketing tool? It’s not a primary marketing tool. It is a backup strategy that you can use to generate more sales and get more people on your list.

Very rarely will a recorded call generate as many sales as a live call will, in my experience. The other thing is that in a live call, you can easily get away with 60 to 90 minutes. It’s pretty hard to keep someone’s attention that long on a recording on a webpage.

Finally, with teleseminars I get to do them live, get people on the calls, and move forward. The way that I did it before, I spent weeks doing the recordings before I was able to start making any money, and though they helped me to build a huge list, nothing happened until all the information for the first call was in place. There was the recording, the squeeze page, and I was doing most of this myself. Nothing happens overnight, not online or off.

But the calls are still viable. It’s free content. It’s great content. You learn a lot of good stuff from the recordings at ListCrusade. You can rely on them and it’s not very surprising. I generate some money from those recorded calls that are half-an-hour long that get delivered to people’s inboxes, but I don’t generate a lot. Still, by that time, they are on my list. So, they definitely have value.

I generate a lot more money and many more people join my list from teleseminars. All in all, teleseminars are great because you can do them live, you can make immediate money with them, you can build a list for them very easily for an event, and you can organize them one at a time versus having to have a whole autoresponder series ready when people join your newsletter or ezine.

Does that make sense?

Focus on building a list of people who care about the same thing as you do, whether it’s Internet Marketing or pet grooming. Then, write a blog every single day, in order to get search engine traffic, and put together press releases to spread the word about the news about what’s happening in the world of pet grooming. Keep on top of it.

Write one press release a day. Do one blog entry a day. In the meantime, build a list of people who care. Monetize the whole thing with something like AdSense.

If your niche is that important to you, then you need to have the most high-traffic website on this topic in the world, so go for it. Depending on where you are financially, if you can afford to just dive in and do it full force, do that. If you can’t, do it part-time but make sure that you’re working on marketing and all of the other activities you’re working on within your niche, in order to learn how to drive more traffic, build a bigger list, and get more readers for your message, right?

Then start finding good products, the ones that convert well, and the ones that have a comprehensive sales process. In the meantime, you’re still list building. Maybe you’re marketing a whole bunch of smaller ClickBank products in the meantime, in order to make money. You’re marketing your ClickBank products, you’re list building, and you stumble upon something that has a great funnel system of multiple products that you can promote, or one primary product you’ll promote and they’ll take over the promotion for the rest of it and pay you on affiliate commissions across the board.

To continue list building, start doing free interviews with prominent people in your niche, and promote that person’s product, which is always easier to set up. Call the person who owns the product and say, “I’d like to promote your product. Here’s what I’ve got–a list of this many, but I’m talking to these 10 other people. They’ve all already agreed to do interviews with me, but we’re switching the format around a little bit so we can be focused on helping you to sell your stuff instead of helping me to sell my stuff. How does that sound to you?” They’ll say, “That sounds good.”

Then you just go ahead and do it. When you do, you’re list building because these prominent people send a message out to their lists about your interview. When that person’s list goes to your main page, they sign up for the call and for your list, too. Then you do another seminar the next week. Then you do another one the next week. Does that make sense?

All of a sudden, for your list building efforts, you walk away with a 5,000 or 10,000 person list, or maybe bigger! A few simple steps, and you’ve got List Power!
