So it’s now a week since I released HowToUseListWire.com and I wanted to share the results, and publicly thank those of you who made it a success.

Turnover for the site was > $500 with almost all of that going to affiliates, the following people all made at least 1 sale

• Paul Kinder
• Richard Legg
• Kerrie Sheehan
• Marc Eglon
• Tony Tezak
• Simon Gale
• David Shaw
• Martin Lodey

Now before I launched this site I didn’t have any real connection with Kerrie, Simon, or David, but next time I launch a site I will be getting in touch and if they want any help with a launch I will be sure to try and help.

So here’s a list of pro’s & con’s should you decide to do your own nickelmania event.

Pro’s

This new list of proven buyers is much more responsive, sales on the backend follow-up and links inside the members area have been impressive. The last blog post received far more comments, and most of the comments appear to be from the new list. Please continue this trend, the more feedback I get the better…

By getting this site out I feel I have more leverage, and it’s a good feeling to know that my videos have helped people to get started. I will be adding a 4th video shortly about how to integrate listwire with TEReports

Lastly I wrote an OTO and made a sales video that both converted in double figures which is an excellent result, and something I’m proud of. Perhaps all the hype about video is actually correct?

Cons

The site went live when it was finished, and as a result a lot of people I wanted to ask to promote were already committed to TEReports.  Next time I will make sure I do the testing days before I want to go live rather than the morning of my initial date and find it doesn’t work.

Now I don’t think I was using the most up to date version of the script, I’ve had to manually search the database within php & I owe some of the above commission on the OTO’s which again will need to be done manually

Also the pricing seemed to rise quicker than the limits I had set, so it’s always important to get the most up to date version of whatever script you’re using.

Future Uses

Now based on what I have learnt from Lee McIntyre’s event this won’t be the last you will see of this content. Once I’ve created the 4th video I will be repackaging and trying a different angle to get more buyers onto my list.

It may also appear as bonus content for people who buy affiliate products through my links in the future, and should I get round to doing a micro continuity list building course later in the year I’m sure it will feature.

Conclusions

Gary is totally spot on with this quality list building concept and it’s something I should have done a long time ago. In fact I’ve just bought my next domain, and already have the ball rolling to create the product.
