That is actually easier said than done, especially when you have an audience that has learned over time that putting your name and email address in that harmless looking form is probably going to result in you receiving multiple emails each and every day from that time forth. Usually promising you the best thing since sliced bread for making an instant fortune, tearing Google apart, beating the system, tearing up the rule book and exposing a huge loophole that will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams overnight.
Problem is that most of the time, the promises bear no fruit, the instant fortune doesn’t appear and many of the individuals who employ this tactic are simply trying to make money out of you and don’t really care what happens once they have their cash. That is clearly not true of everyone, there are many people who also believe very strongly in what they are offering and have a genuine desire to help you out. Lets face it, there is enough business going through the Internet to keep everyone reasonably well paid; even if it is restricted to legitimate businesses with real value and not everyone, believe it or not, wants to be a millionaire. Some people just want to make a comfortable living.
So what is the answer to this problem? Well one answer is to maintain some integrity and tell the truth and if you are trying to help people build an online business, be honest about the fact that some of the things they need to do to build a successful business are actually going to take some effort and will need some time spent on them in order to make them work.
Then if you maintain that honesty and integrity and you have demonstrated that when you have found some products, services or systems that simply did not work. You reviewed them honestly and told it how it was, warts and all.
What will happen eventually is that people will start to believe you and they will trust what you tell them. So when you do find an excellent way to share bookmarks on the social book marking sites and promote it, they will be inclined to take your word for it. Likewise if you think you have found an excellent way to brand and promote a small business, they may also be inclined to believe you.
Well that is exactly what has happened, and it will cost you your email address, but not to find out about it. To actually download it and use it, to trial it out and see if it delivers on the promise. Clearly the free version is not the full package, but it is also not being given for a trial period only, it is yours to keep and to share with no time limits.
Then if you do decide you would actually like to upgrade and get access to the program so you can use it as your very own viral marketing tool, whatever business you are in, you can and you will be making that decision from a position of being fully informed.
So if you want to find out about the SmartBar email list building and branding tool plus all the other enhancements that come with it; you know what to do.
Because, as everyone says, ‘The Money is in the List’.

List building is one the extremely critical steps in building a successful business online. This may take time, especially in the beginning, but it is well worth the effort. Having a poor mailing list means you are pretty much dead in the water.
List building is one if not the most important aspect of blogging for money, with a list of subscribers to a specific topic you have a ready made customer base and the more the better. One thing you should never do however is sell your list to a third party, if anyone even suspects that you have done that, you will be dead in the water. I know from personal experience that this can happen, and I hate spam as much as anyone, so if I suspect someone has forwarded my email on, that is the end of the relationship no matter how useful I found the site.
