			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-157" title="1209587_cloisters" src="http://rodmacbeth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1209587_cloisters-112x150.jpg" alt="1209587_cloisters" width="112" height="150" />I thought I&#8217;d have a look at <strong>Autoresponders</strong> again but, this time, with a view to the content one uses. The ideal way to make use of your <strong>autoresponder</strong> is to preload it with a series of content that&#8217;s sent to your list at predetermined times. That could be every three days, once a week, etc. Whatever you feel is best. Personally, I don&#8217;t believe in bombarding my list with stuff and the most I&#8217;d consider doing  a posting is once a week. Anything more then that, in my opinion, is getting spammy.</p>
<p>The biggest question, and hardest for me, is what kind of content to use. That&#8217;s going to vary with each individual and is worth an article on it&#8217;s own I&#8217;m sure. What I&#8217;m going to look at more today is the format of one&#8217;s content and what will keep me subscribed to your list and what will send me to the unsubscribe link.</p>
<p>I, like probably most people entering the <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> field, have had the misfortune of falling into the trap of subscribing to <strong>Joint Venture Giveaways</strong> and downloading loads of crap. Along with the crap comes subscriptions to a multitude of mailing lists. My experience with these <strong>Joint Venture Giveaways</strong> has led me to believe that the vast majority of contributors to these events are the laziest of <strong>Internet Marketers</strong> and possess very little knowledge of how to <strong>MARKET</strong>.</p>
<p>I say lazy because many seem to feel that all they need to do is join one of these events, build a list and then start spamming sales messages to it. Want me to unsubscribe from your list? Send me nothing but sales messages&#8230;I&#8217;ll be gone by the time I&#8217;ve received the second. Quite possibly after the first one.</p>
<p>Then we have the &#8220;My good friend &#8230;.. has this great FREE product that he&#8217;s allowed me to offer ONLY to my list members.&#8221;  (translation: I&#8217;ve never met or talked to this &#8220;good friend&#8221; but he&#8217;s a JV partner or I&#8217;m an affiliate of his and I&#8217;m hoping to make some money from you buying his upsell after you sign-up for HIS list and download some more crap). So you download another piece of garbage to go with all the other GREAT stuff you&#8217;ll never look at in that steadily growing folder of&#8230;crap. And you&#8217;re now subscribed to another mailing list to which the owner&#8217;s first message to you will probably be&#8230;&#8221;My good friend &#8230;.. has this great FREE product that he&#8217;s allowed me to offer ONLY to my list members.&#8221;</p>
<p>I have got to the point that I don&#8217;t even open these mailings anymore if it&#8217;s apparent in GMail&#8217;s preview what they are&#8230; or I just delete them if I find them to be of that nature. I&#8217;m also pretty much at the point of unsubscribing from anybody who uses this method of list marketing. They waste my time and provide nothing of value.</p>
<p>The next one high on my list of sending me to the unsubscribe link is the video marketer. I see video in the preview and I just hit delete as they&#8217;re a bigger time waster then the &#8220;opt-in marketer&#8221;. Often times they are just using video to send you to an opt-in. Videos have a time and place but, unfortunately, they&#8217;re being abused and I&#8217;m personally becoming very tired of them.</p>
<p>Perhaps I&#8217;ve become jaded and/or highly critical but I&#8217;ve no patience anymore for the way some people market with their lists. I&#8217;ve culled the vast majority of the lists I&#8217;ve signed up to and am very picky now to whose I will join.</p>
<p>What type of list will I join and remain subscribed to?</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-159" title="1205115_water_drop" src="http://rodmacbeth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1205115_water_drop-107x150.jpg" alt="1205115_water_drop" width="107" height="150" />Michel Fortin</strong>&#8216;s mailing list, in my view, is the perfect example of how to market with your list. He will send out three or so links to blog posts of his, past or present, all providing excellent content. I have no intentions of ever writing my own copy from scratch but do want to learn how to edit existing copy effectively and to understand what copywriting is all about. I&#8217;ve bookmarked every one of Michel&#8217;s posts&#8230;they&#8217;re that good. When he does market something it&#8217;s something within his niche and he doesn&#8217;t try to hide the fact he&#8217;s promoting something. He does a review and sends you to the sales page. <strong>Good content and no BS&#8230;I like that.</strong></p>
<p>Another list I belong to is owned by <strong>Ian Traynor</strong>. He sends out a weekly newsletter that begins with a summary of the content. So, in a manner of a minute or two, I can decide if I want to continue reading or not. And, if I do, I already know what to scroll to that holds my interest. It&#8217;s always a mix of a free download (no opt-in baloney), a product promotion and free advice. Once a month he provides members a free package of content&#8230;usually PLR articles or something of that nature. <strong>Straightforward, no nonsense and consistent.</strong></p>
<p>The others I subscribe to offer either free downloads that I can make use of, like articles I can rewrite, and/or advice mixed with non-opt-in promotions. The majority are promotion of their own products often tied in with the free downloads they offer. <strong>Value mixed with intelligent marketing.</strong></p>
<p>These are my personal likes and dislikes but I hope they provide you a little incite in how to populate your <strong>autoresponder</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-143" title="JVAuction3" src="http://rodmacbeth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/JVAuction3-104x150.jpg" alt="JVAuction3" width="104" height="150" />Everyone knows that <strong>John Thornhill</strong> is an <strong>eBay</strong> expert. Some may even call him a GURU, something he doesn&#8217;t subscribe to. Which ever way you may want to  look at it John is someone to watch and learn from when it comes to ‘making moves’ on <strong>eBay</strong>. When John has an idea and it goes public you can definitely expect people to follow. When the digital delivery ban came into effect all eyes were on John for his next move. For the guys who know him and follow his techniques, we all know his advice and tips and second to none and are truly invaluable.</p>
<p>Which leads me to his next product,<strong><a href="http://jvauction.myrak.info" target="_blank"> JV Auction Profits. </a></strong> In this eBook, John explains the technique he uses to harness the power of gaining that extra profit from eBay without the fee’s and the eBay rules. Rules  which we all know change like the weather. Just to give you a little insight into the power of this technique&#8230;John has earned over $35,000 while putting in a minimal amount of effort per week.</p>
<p>So what is <strong><a href="http://jvauction.myrak.info/" target="_blank">JV Auction Profits</a></strong> all about? Well without giving too much away this is certainly going to be the best $10 you have spent this year. It has the potential to make you thousands of dollars if you fit the criteria which is outlined below.</p>
<p>To qualify for the info you need:</p>
<p>1, An <strong>eBay</strong> account or the ability to open one.</p>
<p>2. A little drive to put some work in (nothing falls on your lap for free)</p>
<p>3. You may have to admit that you’ve wasted a lot of your life working for the wrong<br />
person. Now it’s time to start working for the right person – <strong>YOU</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-146" title="JVAuction6" src="http://rodmacbeth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/JVAuction6-150x110.jpg" alt="JVAuction6" width="150" height="110" />Now for this to work:</p>
<p>You <strong>DON’T</strong> need a product.</p>
<p>You <strong>DON’T</strong> have to have experience with Johns system</p>
<p>You <strong>DON’T</strong> need any money to set this up</p>
<p>John will show you how he does it using real life examples</p>
<p>You don’t have to write an <strong>eBook</strong>. This is <strong>NOT</strong> about writing eBooks!</p>
<p>John will explain fully how you can do the same as he does and take more cash to the bank.</p>
<p>Now this is not about selling&#8230; it is about watching and, without giving to much away, all you need to do find is find people with the same business interests as you to make this work. This can work for you, me and every other<strong> eBay</strong> seller on the planet and that’s a lot of guys to JV with.</p>
<p>If you are a seller, I would definitely say you have a leg up on the rest but what John teaches is so versatile we can all use it.</p>
<p>I am limited to what I can disclose as the info is so informative, that is why John has given everyone the opportunity to refund in full if you are not satisfied with the outcome. The returns on your investment will clearly blow the $10 spent away this I know for a fact, so invest today and put this invaluable info into action.</p>
<p>To purchase go here: <strong><a href="http://jvauction.myrak.info/" target="_blank">JV Auction Profits</a>.</strong></p>
<p>John is also about to launch a new program teaching you step by step how to take PLR products and profit from them. It&#8217;s called <strong><a href="http://profitplr.myrak.info" target="_blank">&#8220;Profit from PLR&#8221;</a></strong>. I was fortunate enough to receive these videos as he was making them and they are very well done. For anyone looking for an easy, economical way to implement an income stream these videos will provide the knowledge to do so.</p>
<p>I have followed John for some time. He and <strong>Alex Jeffreys</strong> are from the same mold. They both over deliver and believe in giving before receiving.  I personally feel one can&#8217;t go wrong with either one of these gentlemen.</p>
<p>I purchased <strong></strong><strong><a href="http://jvauction.myrak.info/" target="_blank">JV Auction Profits</a></strong> for myself and and have viewed the about to be released videos and was pleased with both&#8230; as I&#8217;m sure you will be.</p>
