Jamdo Marketing Blog

Building an email list is one of the smartest things that any website owner can do.

A few weeks ago, I got in contact with an affiliate who owns a very large email list to ask her to promote one of the Merchant programs that I manage. Within 24 hours she had driven several thousand dollars in sales from a single product - all from a single email list.

I was impressed.

So impressed that it compelled me to take a closer look at one of the membership sites I belong to - one called “List and Traffic” which is run by a guy called Jimmy D. Brown.

As the name suggests, it is all about building an email list and subsequent website traffic and profitting from them both.

Now, I have been using the tips from this site for my own nefarious purposes for at least 6 months. To be blunt, Jimmy is a kickass copywriter and I regularly use tips from this site to generate my headlines for blogs and some of my Adwords campaigns. By using some of his headline tricks, I am generally able to significantly increase click through rates by around 50% on some of my Adwords campaigns (this wasn’t exactly what he had in mind when he wrote the tips, but it works for me).

Other gems on List and Traffic are geared towards building an email list quickly and effectively with small reports, incentives, paid and free traffic - in fact he seems to have a detailed system for just about every online marketing strategy I have ever used and a bunch that I haven’t. Most of these systems come in the form of unique written reports (which is what I prefer), but he also has a lot of video tutorials which seems to be what newbies prefer. There’s also a bunch of podcasts which suits me nicely so I can listen when I am on the move.

Some of the material, you will know the general principals of from reading quality sites like Copyblogger or Pay Per Click IQ, or even Jamdo, but this guy has narrowed its focus to email lists and promotion only (that’s not to say you can’t use his tips for other stuff like I have).

I must say, I would prefer to see him update the content a little more (usually it’s two or three times per week) but there are plently of archives to read through (and act on). Standards wise, I would rank him among the best for quality of written material (his writing reminds me a little of Brian from Copyblogger). The forum is not as good as some other forums, but it does have the advantage that Jimmy posts on it so you can differentiate between the experts and the loud-mouths.

All up, if you want to kickstart your list, I would say this one is worth checking out.
