Every successful internet marketer knows that their most valuable asset is their list. Not their computer, not their products. Their list. The principles of successful list building go back to the old adage that says, "Give a man a fish and he has a meal. Teach a man (or woman) how to fish, and he has a meal for a lifetime." Learning to fish (list build) You profit for a lifetime when you know how to fish, or to properly assemble a list. I'm not talking about fishing with a fishing rod - that's just much too slow. What I'm talking about is fishing with a net. A rod catches only one fish at a time, while a net catches many fish at one time. To list build in this way, throw out a net for very...

With some time to kill while the students I accompanied here attend their workshops, it would seem a great opportunity to break away and enjoy the city. Seattle is a wonderful place and the quick drive into town from the airport last night reinforced my appreciation for the impressive architecture, the...

Soon, he would not only look at the fish but also would say, "brown trout" or "sunfish" or "perch." At a very young age my little brother not only knew what a fish was but he knew their common names. Shortly after this...
