I’m an Adswap Virgin Building A List
By Sean BeardmoreHey,
Quick Post Everyone, just to let you know I have updated my Journal…….I know I Know, I have been slacking, but I have also been just focusing on Adswaps and building the list. We hear it all of the time, the money is in the list, and after talking to some new adswap partners, it certainly………..IS!
The challenge is getting the whole list started and having the opportunity to talk to people who WILL swap with you, even though yur list is smaller than theirs.
But you know what, I am amazed at the amount of people who have been so forward in helping, and I am talking friends with lists of over 3k.
My List building is not as fast as I would have liked, but this is just the start. I am seeing people who had lists of 9k 3 months ago, now having lists of over 24k……………once you hit a certain level, you list can grow exponentially.
How ever, speaking to some of the guys I have completed Adswaps with, my offer and page is not converting as well as it should, compared to other Adswaps, so it is my intention to add further value to my free report and update from this. I will continue testing as it makes complete sense!
You will see from my Journal Page the Size Of My ……List……………and if you are looking for an Adswap, please get in touch!
Thanks
Sean

Hey Sean,
You’ve made a great start with your list building, it will start to build faster as your list get bigger, because you will be consistently swapping with larger lists by then.
You’re not that far behind me now, and you’re right about there being some great people out there willing to swap with smaller lists, I’ve also been fortunate to experience that too.
Speak soon,
Paul

Hey Sean,
Thanks for stopping over at my blog and leaving a comment!!
I was in Vegas recently and met Jit Uppal, a former student of Alex’s first coaching course and someone who’s built a MASSIVE list in the last 12 months. He was sharing some of his strategies and he found one simple thing that gave him a bump in conversion was to remove the ‘name’ input from your opt in form. Just having it as email input only increased conversion.
I see you say your offer page is not converting as well as it should so maybe that will help.

Hey Sean,
You at least got started building your list. That’s better than most. It’s a struggle at first but it will get easier, especially now that you’ve entered the realm of Adswaps. As Paul says, the bigger your list gets the faster it will grow. It’s the old snowball affect.
I’ve really just started adswaps recently and I’m upset that I waited so long to get involved with them. There’s nothing better than instant traffic to your squeeze page and adding subscribers with very little effort.
Maybe we can hook up some time and get an adswap going.
Later,

Hey Sean,
Looks like you are getting things moving! I recently changed my squeeze page, and once you get it converting better, you will see a MASSIVE difference in opt-ins
It will just start building quicker & quicker then!!
Talk soon mate,

Hey All!
Sorry, not been far away, but getting on with many things!
@ Paul wanted to have a chat with you about what it is you are doing. I am aware of a few pointers, but since I have been involved in the adswaps, noticing what works and what doesn’t! Be in touch
@ Jeff I never realised getting started is so tough! biggest thing is getting it going, be great to Adswap soon!
@ Rob Thanks for the tip, I will probably switch to email only for sure, also beginning to notice what it is that works well with Adswaps, so looking at changing a few things here and there
