Raise your hand if you’re frustrated with how fast your audience is growing.<\/p>\n

<C’mon, raise it.><\/p>\n

Why is that?<\/p>\n

Why have other people broken through, rapidly built their email lists and launched products, yet you are still floundering?<\/p>\n

Here is why: Because you are doing the same ol’ outdated strategies that worked in 2012 but don’t work today.<\/p>\n

The same lame guest posts on the same 10 “influencer” blogs.
\nThe same lame blog commenting strategy.
\nThe same lame round-up posts then emailing me to tell me to share it.
\nThe same lame procrastination technique of “redesigning your website.”<\/p>\n

Stop doing what everyone else is doing.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

[su_note note_color=”#f5fa9c”]Note<\/strong>: We’re doing a big $2,400 list building giveaway at the bottom of today’s post. So be sure to read through for full details.[\/su_note]<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Think of it like this:<\/strong> Imagine you’re a 35-year-old dude (ladies, stick with me). And let’s say you and your wife just had a kid. (Funny story, we had our first a few months ago. He’s adorbs.<\/a>) And let’s pretend that you FINALLY get your very first date night together.<\/p>\n

The babysitter is lined up. Friday night is your oyster.<\/p>\n

And you go the lame route. You\u00a0do what every other stereotypical American couple does on Friday nights: you go to dinner and a movie.<\/p>\n

Would it be fun? Meh. Maybe.<\/p>\n

Would it be memorable? No.<\/p>\n

Would your wife be impressed? No.<\/p>\n

Would any “extracurricular activities” occur afterwards? Negatory.<\/p>\n

It was boring. Non-creative. And predictable.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Your audience\u00a0growth is the same way. If your list-building strategy is a carbon copy of what 100,000 other bloggers are doing, your results will suck.<\/p>\n

You have to have a little creativity. A little imagination.<\/p>\n

You need to stop doing what everyone says you need to do and start paying attention to what’s actually working.<\/p>\n

What are some unique and unconventional strategies you can use?<\/h2>\n

If you want more traffic and a bigger list and to have your first\u00a0massive product launch… look for the fringes.<\/p>\n

Look for the strategies that are working but that no one is talking about and do those!<\/p>\n

(Instead of taking your wife to dinner and a movie, go here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

What are those strategies?<\/strong>\u00a0Glad you asked!<\/p>\n

Over the past 2 years we’ve\u00a0been testing countless list-building tricks and strategies (over 100 in total). Some of those strategies used to work really well, like guest posting. And some are just over-hyped crap that need to be discontinued from the internet (like commenting on a bunch of blogs).<\/p>\n

But the only way for you to know what works and what doesn’t is to wade through the countless blog posts and podcasts out there on list building.<\/p>\n

And that takes way too much time. It’s taken us over 2 years(!!).<\/p>\n

So, in preparation for the upcoming Get 10,000 Subscribers enrollment<\/a> (2-ish weeks away) the team and I have analyzed what’s been working for us and our clients this year. 2016.<\/p>\n

What we found was super interesting…<\/p>\n

There are 3 strategies that are working like crazy right now. So I wrote a detailed breakdown of each strategy, showing you what it is and why you need to use it. Then I shot a video for each strategy, showing you how to implement each one.<\/p>\n

Then we got our good buddy Iker to design it all up into one short, sexy and compact PDF Strategy Guide\u00a0just\u00a0for you.<\/p>\n
