Coaching With Alex Jeffreys Update #2
December 5th, 2008 . by Jeff McCall
Well the second session with my new business coach Alex Jeffreys was on Tuesday evening. He outlined the products and system provided – that he calls the “platform” - to get me up and running building my mega responsive email list. I had a definite spring in my step the next day – life is good!
Installing the “platform” was very straightforward and I had my new website operational on Wednesday. I deliberated long and hard over what domain name to get as I’d created a long list of available names. But eventually decided on ListBuildingTruths.com. I thought it was a good domain name that’s easy to remember and relevant to the product.
So what else have I been doing this week?
Well I knocked up a very quick cover graphic for the free report. That’s it over in the sidebar on the right. Not bad for about 30 minutes work eh? Of course I placed the ad in the blog sidebar as you can see. I’ve also started promoting the report in a number of high profile places.
Today I wrote 3 articles about list building with a link to the report and placed them in 4 article directories. They’ll take a couple of days to get approved, but then they’ll be listed in Google pretty quickly. I’m hoping at least one will get taken up by an ezine author or blogger. I also placed an online classified ad, which only took a few minutes to do.
I just checked my stats and as of 9pm GMT this evening I have exactly 7 sign-ups to my new list. According to Aweber my unique conversion rate is 60%. If it stays that high I’ll be well happy. No sales as yet, but I know where the traffic’s coming from and the guys on that forum are a cynical bunch.
Heard by email from Alex this morning that tonight’s coaching session is postponed until next week. I must say I was disappointed because I was looking forward to soldiering on over the weekend. But I guess I’ll just carry on promoting the site and this blog until then.
That’s it for now. Expect another coaching update from me next week.
Be successful.
