YOUR LIST IS SET UP. You have chosen a dynamic name and are ready to promote. You must spend at least 1 hour per day working on your success. One advantage of this type of list is that ads are not read until member check his or her email. You can post 24/7 and still get respond. Here are 6 methods of promoting your list.

a) OTHER MAILING LISTS. Occasionally, I spot a dynamic ad asking me to join. You should save better messages and incorporate best elements of each. You can post to 10 other mailing lists in 20 minutes or less.

b) INVITE. Some groups have a system that your can invite customers that you already have and even use name from other lists. You can invite those already on your lists.

c) WORLD SUBMITTER. On this site, you can post to classified and ffa/links. Join FREE at http://www.worldsubmitter.com/?entmind

d) ON YOUR WEB SITE. If you are just beginning, you will receive only a few members joining per week. Write your own ad and be patience. It all adds up.

e) THE GROUP DIRECTORY. This can be both helpful and destructive. Yahoo and others have a directory of groups. Some persons see their listings and think that members will join from that. Most advertisers will look at first 5 pages and join only these. You will not receive many until you have 300-600 members and then you will receive a few per day from then on.

f) BE PROACTIVE. YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET IT. DEPEND ON NO ONE BUT YOURSELF.

WHERE IS THE MONEY? From mailing to list as you build your list. Your might make a mailing to draw persons to your web site. What I call piggy back email is a collection of about 6-8 offers or affiliates are popular. You will have to work on this, but vary your offers. Some will make more than penny or two mentioned above.

3. Organize your time. This simple yet effective task will enable to do much more work and have more family time than just going from one thing to another, trying to figure out what to do next.

4. Exercise. This is another thing you can do with family or solo. Go for a nice brisk walk or hop on your bike and go for a ride. Exercise is a great stress reducer and it also helps refresh your mind.

5. Get involved with your kids lives. Talk to them. By doing this you will feel much more in control in your personal and work life. This will give you a stability you might not feel otherwise.

6. Have a date night with your hubby/wife or sweetheart. Sometimes we get lost in our lives and don't take time to really be with each other. To do this is extremely important because if we are happier and more relaxed with our mate, that feeling will spill out into other areas of our lives, making us more productive.

7. Take a day off from your computer. Go out for day with your family and do not even think about email or websites or business of any kind. After such a day, you will be refreshed and ready to get back to work.
