For Blogs, Henri’s recommendations are it.

One thing about MailChimp though is that you do not pay a dime until you have over 500 subscribers which is awesome for beginners. After that you start to pay $30 month for 501-2500 subscribers.

If you want to use static niche sites, you can use Getresponse, SendFree (1 month free test which i am trying out) and Freeatuobot which is free in its entirety. There is also another one by MIke Filsaime. Don’t remember now but you can Google ” Mike filsaime” and when you get to his site, check out all the products he’s got and you will find the autoresponder there.

There is also the option of E.G.G.S – Email Go Getter System which you can install on your server and configure for double opt in or single and create various lists.

BTW, Nice to meet you and I hope I have been of Help.

Cheers,
Olusegun

Glad you liked it. It takes hard work, but when you love what you do, it isn’t so bad

That's cool about the Law of Attraction. I stumbled upon Freelancer (formerly Get a Freelancer) in the beginning and that's what I've been using exclusively. You can find great writers there, but make sure you are specific about what you want and ask people to provide samples. Sometimes you'll run into bad writers, but that happens. Keep looking and you'll find good ones!

Hey Henri,

Thanks for sharing your story. You know, I read one of your comments where you said you make money from niche sites in passing and I wanted to know mire but did not want to be forward so i decided to chill, forget about it and let LoA bring it to me naturally and Viola! Here it is.

I’m trying to build passive income too and i know it will work out. 2000+ articles, that is A LOT! which outsourcing site did you use and who can you recommend?

Cheers,
Olusegun

“Becoming good at something takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears, which is one of the reasons why I recommend that you only pursue the things you are passionate about.”

I love that. Sort of boils all down. Thanks Henri.

You’re most welcome. Now get that e-mail sign-up form up (with a nice free e-book) and start pouring on the value

you’re a star! thanks Henri … funnily enough I signed up for mailchimp last week as I’m thinking about doing a newsletter so I’ll look into it more there.

For e-mail lists there's MailChimp and Aweber. I personally use Aweber, but I've heard good things about MailChimp. Check out their prices and make your own comparisons. I don't think you'll go wrong with either one. Hope this helps!

Thanks for this Henri, I did research Site build it myself, but decided in the end to go down the wordpress road, but great to hear about your experiences. One question … where do people create and get their email lists from?
Looking forward to hearing more Henri!

My problem was mostly in choosing a niche and the right keywords (since this was mainly a website focused on SEO). Of course, if you’re blogging, it never hurts to plan your keywords, but it becomes less important when you use social media and other traffic generation methods.

Henri,

Nice post. It was cool to see how you’ve learned along the way. Regarding this: “The biggest reason my first site was a failure was because I neglected to follow the instructions. ” Do you mean instructions on creating a sales site, choosing a niche…? What do you mean by that? Can you expand?

Henri — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:56:50 +0000

Yeah, I was the same way when I was going around buying everything. I see now how foolish it was, but even if the perfect opportunity was right in front of me, I would not have been smart enough to take it. We all have our own paths to travel.

I am going to talk about directories, but isn’t going to be exactly what you think, it’s going to be much better

I needed that advice 6 months ago but I probably wasn’t smart enough to take then either.

By: Karen

Great, I’m looking forward to the article. Are you going to include specific directories? That would be very helpful

Thanks,
Karen

Cheers, mate. There’s one thing that always piques my curiosity, and it’s the fact that they never try to teach these principles in school… Why, oh, why?

By: Henri

Henri — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:20:52 +0000

I agree completely. We all have to find our way, and that is best done by taking action and trying stuff. I guess I’ll have to check that Napoleon Hill book out then if it is THAT good
