Tough Nuts Marketing: A New Trend Among List Owners

Written by Joe Vitale


List owners aren't going to take it anymore.

I'm seeing more and more list owners stand up and tellrepparttar subscribers complaining to them, "You're on my list, either buy what I offer or get off now."

Is that too tough of a stance to take?

Maybe. But a few weeks ago a woman I know mailed a relevant offer to her list. She immediately received complaints. And threats. One subscriber said he/she would report her torepparttar 105331 SPAM cops.

My friend panicked. She called her ISP and explained her situation, that she simply mailed a relevant offer to her opt-in subscribers.

In my opinion, she took a wimpy stance.

Contrast her experience with this one:

Recently I receivedrepparttar 105332 following email from Stuart Wilde, a wild new agey author who I once had breakfast with, interviewed and greatly admire for his message and his level of success. Here's his email -

"Hi, this is Stuie Wilde.

"I am writing to you because you are on my special A-list. I want you to know that my latest book, God's Gladiators is now out in paperback ($13.95, plus p&h).

"It's COMPULSORY for everyone onrepparttar 105333 A-LIST to buy at least one copy. Now, if you can't afford it I completely understand but that is no excuse. The good news is you don't have to readrepparttar 105334 book-you can always have us post it directly to someone you don't like, after you have paid for it of course.

"You've got untilrepparttar 105335 end of May but anyone after that who hasn't boughtrepparttar 105336 book will be REMOVED fromrepparttar 105337 A-list. The idea is that if you are too lazy or too stingy to part with $13.95 then it's best that I don't put a lot of effort into helping you along.

At my recent Internet Marketing How To Workshop, several speakers admonished attendees, not to get stuck selling just twenty dollar ebooks.

Study any successful internet marketer and you will see that he offers a range of products at different price points. That's what I do. My least expensive product is $9.97 and my most expensive product is currently $2495. In between I offer audiotapes at $197, videotapes at $297, and consulting at $250 per hour. I offer this range, because different people wantrepparttar 105333 information I offer in different formats. Different people learn best according to how their brains are wired.

Some people prefer learning by listening to audiotapes.

Some people prefer learning by watching videotapes.

Some people learn best by actually practicing and doing it. They need to attend workshops or actual classes, although these can be virtual classes too.

Some people understand best when you explain it to them onrepparttar 105334 phone or via email. They needrepparttar 105335 two-way interaction to fully clarify points.

Some people prefer to print something out and read it. I am a reader who will readrepparttar 105336 same book several times if it contains really good information... absorbing something more with each reading. I also have tons of audio and videotapes though.
