I got this tweet the other day and I saved t to my favorites.
“Procrastination is the result of doubt. Ask yourself: what am I doubting that makes me procrastinate?”
Talk about an AH-HA Moment. I never really thought about it like that. How many times do we put off what we KNOW we should do for our business and don’t ? Have you ever asked yourself, “What’s wrong with me? Why don’t I just DO it?” God knows I have, and still do at times. [...]
I have been doing some testing with the new Aweber “Thank You” page to see if it helps convert more double opt in subscribers.
On a niche site of mine I kept my normal “Thanks” page where it provides instructions on how to confirm their opt in as well as graphics showing the process. The 50/50 split test was against Awebers new default thank you page where a professional sounding recording automatically plays and gives verbal directions on how to confirm their opt in.
The results are
My Page: Displays-98 Subscribes-26 Conversion-26.5%
Aweber Page: Displays-184 Subscribers 44 Conversion- 23.9%
While it’s too early to make any conclusions I have made one…
Aweber can’t divide by 2 very well.

The class I am teaching is called “How To Build A Niche List of 6,819 subscribers in 8 Months!”
and it begins at 3:00PM EST.!
I have to admit that I am a fan of “Twitter”. Not a fanatic mind you..just a fan.
I enjoy reading what friends I have met around the world are doing. I don’t really care what they had for breakfast that morning, but I like reading about accomplishments they have made, quotes they have run across, great sites they have found, excellent articles they have read, etc.
An interesting thing that Twitter has taught me is the power of BREVITY. You see, on Twitter you can only write 140 characters (letters, spaces,etc) before your message gets cut off. I have been amazed however at the power of how ‘Less can be more.”
I have purchased products linked to in Twitter. Not because of the 7 page sales letter but because of a 140 character recommendation from someone I was following. I have learned some amazing SEO tips, a great backup strategy, how to add backlinks overnight, and discovered incredible software I have never heard of or seen before all from Twitter.
I also learned that Kevin Riley has something for rodents.
Like I said, I’m a fan. Not a fanatic.
A lot can be done in 140 characters.
It used to be that I wouldn’t post a blog message here unless unless I had a thousand word essay to share. Unless it had to be printed out, I didn’t think it was worth putting out.
I was wrong. So except to see a lot more short and informative posts here in the future.
Yet somehow this post wound up being much longer than I anticipated.
Like I said, I’m a fan. not a fanatic.
