Take a guess…<\/p>\n

What’s the #1 question people have about building an email list?<\/p>\n

Answer = How long does it take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How long does it take to build a list?<\/p>\n

How long does it take to make a product?<\/p>\n

How long does it take to make MONEY?<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

Solid question.<\/p>\n

Most people look at building a list as a looooong-term play. Something that takes years to cobble together and even more time to make money from.<\/p>\n

That’s silly.<\/p>\n

I was on live chat the other day with someone looking at buying my new course, Get 10,000 Subscribers<\/a>. And we were having this exact convo.<\/p>\n

I told them…<\/p>\n

There is NO reason you can’t start a list today and have 100 subscribers in a week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guess what he said?<\/p>\n

\u201cProve it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sooo…..<\/p>\n

I’m putting my money where my mouth is.<\/p>\n

Over the next 48 hours I am going to start an email list from scratch and launch a product to that list.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Am I nervous? Yep!<\/p>\n

But if my course is good at all, it should work. I should be able to get 100 email subscribers, come up with a product and get someone on that list to buy it.<\/p>\n

And if I can, you can too.<\/p>\n

So, here is the deal.<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/span><\/span> I asked for ideas on what topic I should pick.<\/p>\n

I threw out a few suggestions:<\/p>\n

\n

The winner (by a slim margin) was #1, Hammocking in Nashville.<\/p>\n

This should be interesting.<\/p>\n

=)<\/p>\n

Only Rule is I can’t use my existing list or traffic to help it along (has to be completely from\u00a0scratch).<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

..<\/div>\n
\n

If you want to follow along I’ll be posting updates on Twitter throughout the day.<\/p>\n

You can follow me here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, in the Get 10,000 Subscribers Facebook Community, I\u2019m sharing tons of details on this experiment. And even getting feedback and suggestions from the students.<\/p>\n

\"\"

What do you think?<\/p>\n

Think I\u2019ll be able to do it?<\/p>\n

I’ll be back Friday night<\/strong> to post the results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
