What can you learn from The Celebrity Apprentice? Not much, really.. In the Celebrity Apprentice, the celebrities raise money by calling on their wealthy friends. The bigger your rolodex, the better chance you have of winning. Let’s face it – You can’t sell a cupcake for $1000 in the REAL world.
But as we’ve seen time and time again, it’s all about who they know. How does this apply to the online world? It’s all about building your list.
John Chow, Shoemoney, and countless other bloggers have been drilling this concept into your head for months and months now.. And while their motives may not be entirely pure (ie. Aweber referral commission), they’ve got a point. Build an e-mail list from your website customers (or blog visitors), and when you’ve got a product or promotion to push, you can reach out to them with just a few clicks.
I’m not jumping on the Aweber bandwagon. There’s nothing wrong with it, but I’ve been using Constant Contact for years now, and I’m 100% happy with them. They’re cheaper, offer a 60-day free trial, and offer the same features that the other guys do.
So what are you waiting for? Start building your list today.. You won’t be sorry!
