List Building Tools | Essential for Any Online Business | 12SC Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

List building is a crucial element of any online business today. Building a list entails keeping a collection of prospects who are within easy access of contact.

Of course, to make list buildingg work for you, you must have the tools to have them sign up to your list to gather the leads. With a little bit of creativity and a lot of persistence, your email list can end up consisting of many thousands of customers and interested prospects.

There are many benefits to list building here are just a few of them:

So what are the benefits of list building?

1. Building Relationships
When you email your list regularly, you build a relationship with them. They will learn to trust you and look forward to your emails, particularly if you are constantly providing free, helpful information that will interest them. For that reason it is also essential to know exactly what your list prospects want and need.

2. More Sales
After you begin providing free information to your list prospects they will be more likely to purchase from you. Regardless if they sign up to your list without initially purchasing something from you, you will stand a better chance of converting them after sending a sequence of emails. It is said that it can take up to 7 points of contact before someone purchases from you. Having built a list of prospects allows you the perfect opportunity to reach this point – without over doing it, of course. There is a fine line between helping your prospects and annoying them with constant contact.

3. Branding Yourself
You earn recognition by building a list. You can become an authority in your niche of choice. People may start talking about you and word of mouth can, of course, lead to increased business and a larger email list.

There simply is no better way to build a long term business than by taking advantage of list building, whether online or offline. Both online and offline businesses can benefit from list building. Although we have talked about emailing a list in this article, the same can be done via snail mail (or regular postal mail) and you can build your offline list in similar ways.

List building must be considered an essential part of any business plan. It will increase your bottom line dramatically and will allow you to build unparalleled relationships with your customers and prospects.

12 Second Commute |How to Help Your Downline | Jim Roche NJ | Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

If you want to take your business to the next level, you need to start with your downline because if you help them and they stay with you, your business will explode. If you ignore them which too many sponsors do, they will quit and you will have a revolving door of clients.

It takes 80% less money to keep a client than it does to get a new one, so if your cost to acquire a client is $100, your cost to keep that client happy is only $20 and personally I would rather spend $20 to keep someone happy than $100 to find someone new and have to start all over again.

One of the tools you get with the 12 Second Commute is called the URL Rotator and the rotator simply allows you to create one master URL or link and then place other links under it so as people click on the master URL, they are automatically directed to the links under it.

For example, let's say you are promoting Program T and I am promoting Program T. In your ads, you tell people that when they join Program T with you that you are going to give them advertising to help them get started. I am too cheap to do this and I just want people to join me in Program T and then they are on their own.

Who do you think is going to build Program T faster, you or me? You will because you are offering help to your clients while I am just offering to take their money.

Another way to help your downline is to use your Ad Tracker in the 12 Second Commute and track every ad and every link you have on the Internet. This is going to save you immediate money because you will know where your hits are coming from which means you don't waste time and money on advertising that will not work. And, it will allow you to pass this information to your downline.

Using the same Program T example as above, let's say you have been tracking your ads for 6 months and you know exactly how much you have spent on advertising and how many hits you got from all your advertising and you can take this information and know exactly how much money it takes to run your business.

You tell your prospects that when they join Program T with you that you are going to share this valuable information with them and you can also tell them how much money they are going to have to spend to get profitable.

Since I am only after their money and I am not smart enough to track my ads, I just spend crazy money on advertising and I never know whether or works or not and I have zero data to pass to my downline.

Who are people going to join with? You, because you'll tell them exactly how much it will cost them to get profitable and that is what people want and need to know.

Does doing this take a little time and energy? Yes, but it will pay off 10 fold for you because you are going the extra mile for your downline and they will stick with you. And, you will teach them to do the same, so not only will your down line grow but theirs will as well which brings more money to you and since people are not jumping ship each month, you can start counting on a certain amount of money each month as will your downline and you are now well on your way to achieving the success you desire and deserve.

Zig Ziglar said it best: "You can get anything in life you want; if you just help enough other people get what they want". Help your downline using the tools and resources you get in 12 Second Commute and you will soon see an amazing increase in your business.

Angie Mitchell | Jim Roche NJ | 12 Second Commute Submitted by Angie Mitchell

Hey, I'm Angie Mitchell... and this is my good friend Jim Roche.

I'm relatively new to the online marketing scene myself but I'm extremely happy to say that I have drastically shortened the learning curve.

I never struggled with where to go and what to do because I partnered up with Jim Roche NJ pretty much right away and together with our skills we have helped each other become successful.

We know that you do NOT have to be good at everything, you just have to be really good at some things.

This is our secret. Instead of being in business for ourselves, he does what he does best and I do what I do best, we outsource to each other and we've seen results.

We have found that working as a team, he doing the technical stuff and myself doing the creative copy stuff, we have been able to help our eager team members get on the path to seeing success as well. Some want to be left to their own devices and that's OK too...

For us, Keyword Rich Content and Article Marketing Is The Ticket!

However, we are not alone in this process. 12 Second Commute with all the training and support has lightened the load.

No matter what program, product or service you are working online, you have to understand that using online marketing tools is only going to benefit you and your online business.

The amount of value you get with an account here is unbelievable.

Personally, I'd recommend kicking Get Response and Aweber to the curb...

12 Second Commute is far more superior in our opinion.

But don't take our word for it. See for yourself.

If you don't check it out, I know exactly why you're hesitant... it's because everybody and their dog is telling you they have the latest and greatest and it's hard to know who to believe. I understand that.

Where else on the internet will you find Autoresponders, Contact Manager, Ad Trackers, Capture Page Creator, Affiliate Area, URL Rotators, Newbie Training Center, Blog, Video Training, Translation Area, Program Builders, SEO Tools, Smart Page, Conference Center, Purchase Traffic, Bonus Traffic and Hosting all under one roof?

12 Second Commute is an honest business resource and opportunity center unlike anything I've ever come across.

No useless hype at the site or provided by any of the trainers either.

Jim is also a trainer here at 12SC and he puts on his SEO conferences Wednesday night's at 9:30 EST.

There are a total of 4 conferences that cover social networking, SEO, Advertising and basically a informational Q and A on these specific tools. There are a few during the day as well for the people in Europe on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Darryl Graham has been so generous in allowing anyone and everyone to take the entire system for a test drive free for 30 days.

There are not many businesses that have enough faith in their service to do this as the majority of them make you pay a dollar or pay in full up front before they will give you anything.

Actually, I'd prefer to only have it a 10 or 15 day free trail since I know from experience how when given the opportunity to check something out for too long, it gets pushed to the wayside and next thing you know... you just never get around to it. Oh well, not my rules to make.

If you are a serious person with a serious business goal then I'm confident you won't wait the full 30 days to take action.

Jim and I are super happy paying members of 12 Second Commute and just wanted to share with you why this is the system you MUST get your hands on, or at the very least test out before deciding if you want to continue.
