Day 64, 65, 66 - Bum Marketing Adventure
Well, it appears the Squidoo drop wasn't just my imagination. A couple of you have noticed it as have a lot of people at the Warrior Forum. While I wouldn't call it completely dead, it does hurt the viability of marketing that way. I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened. Squidoo has almost NO real information on it, just IMers trying to make money. Squidoo even advertises itself as a "get high ranks in google easily" tool. Those two pretty much spelled its eventual doom.
I've been trying to find ways to replace Squidoo. I might have a couple ideas. For now I guess I just target less competitive keywords, as they still rank ok. This is a bit of a downer...ok a huge downer. I guess that's the life of the starting out IMer. Big highs and big lows.

Go back to the basics, my friend, and also focus on building a list.
Yeah, I did see that.
List building is something I'm still working on. I've yet to come up with a real plan to make it work though.
You're overcomplicating it, Brandon. Just get started doing it and you'll never regret it.
It's this simple:
1. Get traffic to your site.
2. Entice them to join your mailing list with anything: video, free report, ecourse, whatever it takes.
3. After they join, make sure they get what you offered.
4. Then send them quality content and offers at least once a week.
That's it!
