A special welcome to everyone currently attending Alex Mandossian’s Teleseminar Secret’s course. I was a student in Teleseminar Secrets for the first time two years ago, and this is how I originally connected with him. This training changed my online business and marketing knowledge forever, so you are definitely in the right place at the right time. I have gone on to become an affiliate for Alex, and now a partner, just as he teaches in his trainings.
Alex challenged me to double my list back on October 15, 2008. It was during my ‘limo consult’ with him, where we discussed how I could take my business to the next level. When I told Alex that I had 652 people on my list, he insisted that I take action to increase that number dramatically. We agreed that I would work on growing my list to at least one thousand names by the end of October, and to double my list, taking it past 1,300 names, as quickly after that as possible. I had my work cut out for me.
The first thing I did was to send an email to my list, asking them to refer anyone they knew who would benefit from what I teach online. Over the next few days many more people joined my list. I was amazed at how easy it was to reach out to my current subscribers and ask for their help. I learned a huge lesson from this; people really do want to help us to achieve our goals – you just need to ask them.
The second action I took was to create an event over at Facebook. At the time I had about 4,000 friends there, so now I was ready to invite them to a teleseminar training. I chose the topic of affiliate marketing because it is an area I have expereince with and that is of great interest to people building an internet business. I required them to join my list before they would receive the details of the teleseminar training. Many of my Facebook friends opted in to my list in order to be a part of that call.
The third action I implemented was to visit two forums that I had been a part of during the previous few months. Forums, both free and paid, are an excellent way to connect with people who share similar interests with you. They can work like an informal mastermind, allowing you to bounce ideas off of one another. When I told the people in these forums about my challenge with Alex, they were happy to be a part of what I was doing. Within 24 hours they began to tell others about me and what I was doing in my online business. More and more people found me and joined my list.
Within ten days of when I began this challenge my list had reached 1,000. I knew that if I continued to move forward I would easily be able to double my list by the end of the month. I then went over to Twitter, where I had about a thousand followers at that time, and tweeted my story 140 characters at a time. People become involved in the conversation and my list continued to grow. I shared my results with my list, including them in the process every step of the way.
On October 25, just 10 days after speaking with Alex and taking on this challenge, I reached 1,304 – exactly double what I had started with. I continued to work on building my list and connecting with those who were already a part of my list.
I am now a list relationship coach, helping others to build a solid relationship with the people who have entrusted us to teach and guide them on the internet by giving us their name and email address. I know that if I can do this, you can do this, and I am here to help you in any way I can. You can sign up in the upper right-hand corner of this blog and I will send you information about my special teleseminar training during December to help you to make big money with your tiny list. This training will be by invitation only, and will include information to give you a jump start on the new year. I want to build a relationship with you so that we can both achieve our goals. Leave a comment here, connect with me on Twitter (I’m @ConnieGreen) and let me know how I can best serve you.

Hello Connie,
Great article! I recently joined Alex’s TSS program; thus, I am embarking on the journey you’ve already taken. I need to grow my list, create and re-purpose content and establish my online presence as an authority in my niche. I will use your experience as a guideline, thanks.
