The Power of a List (or two)

As I scanned my email folder this morning there was an email from one of “Armand Morin”:http://www.internetmarketingexplained.com/x.php?af=53901 a widely known internet marketeer. Now his marketing machine sends literally millions of emails every day to people interested in marketing online. I read the emails he sends me from time to time if only to keep up with what he is doing.

Well, this email was offering me a seat at a teleseminar (or download of the teleseminar recording) on the subject of Adsense revenue generation. Since I have recently decided not to use Adsense in other than limited situations I was about to close the email and move on.

But then I noticed that the “payment” for this teleseminar was the purchase of 2 copies of a music CD from Amazon.

Intrigued I went to have a look at Labor Pains, by Michael Lee Austin.

Guess what, the CD being promoted is a debut CD by someone apparantly better known for his internet involvement. Better still, his debut CD is ranking #3 on the Amazon music sales chart!

Their’s more… the prominent review of the CD is provided by Joe “Mr Fire” Vitale, one of the best marketing guru’s around and a prolific author!

In today’s world, possibly the most vaulable asset you can own, is a list of people, with a common interest area, and permission to send information to them. The second most valuable asset is access to the people who own these lists!
