Why only amateurs & newbies think you "need" social media to build an email list
Published: Thu, 12/10/20
And since then, I’ve had zero social media presence.
Over this time, a few people — nearly all of them millennials, who foolishly seem to think direct marketing was invented on social media, and Facebook in particular — have asked:
“How are you building your list without social media???”
The short answer:
By doing things people did to build their lists before social media.
It's okay to use social media, if you want.
But only amateurs buy into "needing" social media for list-building.
Yes, your long-suffering Pal & Narrator has used paid ads from Facebook, Twitter, and Google to build my list in the past. And, I have gotten many leads doing so. But, their quality paled in comparison to the leads I get now. And, I am in zero danger of being de-platformed by those companies, too.
If anything, I can “siphon” away the best quality leads from those platforms, free.
And, without spending a red cent doing it.
All of which I talk about in my “Email Players List Swell” book.
It’s on sale at a $150.00 discount - $391 instead of the $541 it normally retails for - until tonight (12/10) at midnight EST. And, while it’s slow (even agonizingly slow to anyone lacking patience), takes a lot of “elbow grease” to make work, and is not at-all scalable… my old-school list-building methods have allowed me to build what I believe is one of the most responsive lists in my industry, with plenty of experiences and testimonials to back up why I say that.
There ain’t anything “new” in this book.
So new product junkies reading can put their John Thomas’s back in their pants.
But, I do have what I believe is a unique twist on many common list-building methods.
Anyway, this Seasons Emailings sale ends in a couple hours.

P.S. This book is made up primarily of the 3 “Email Players” issues I’ve written just on the subject (April 2016, February 2019, and March 2019 issues — which will never be available as back issues even if I do decide to offer back issues again some day to Email Players subscribers), plus every article I’ve written on the subject in various other issues over the past 8+ years since 2011, along with any bonus trainings included in many issues with various traffic experts.
If you have those 3 main issues, you don’t need this book.
If you have one or two of them, you’ll have to determine whether it’s worth buying or not.
