Hi Srini. Thank you for this opportunity.
Here is my question:
"What can I do exactly and how can I manage the "users" who subscribe to my blog in my Wordpress CMS?"

To be more precise, I receive a flow of emails from my Wordpress blog telling me "[MYBLOG[ New user registration]", and when I log on my dashboard I can see the full list of these people and their emails. Is there a way to "manage" this list from inside Wordpress? Would it be fair to contact them singularly or in bulk? Would it be SPAM?

I look forward for your answer.
Thans again
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni, Sometime ago I came across a plugin or code that would take your wordpress registered user and push them into an autoresponder. You can get a plugin developed which should be failry easy to do.

As to if this his ethical? I wouldn't email the wordpress users any marekting material becuase most of them are blogger or information seekers. They could be prospects but usually they are not. Blogging, lead capture and follow up marketing are completely differnt things.

Hope this helps

Srini

Thanks for the answer. What you said made me think that extracting the email list would not be so hard. Actually it's just a data base in mysql I can easily export from my php admin. Then, it can be easily imported in any autoresponder with import functions.
By the way, your answer inspired me to search for a dedicated plugin and i found this one
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-notification/
which sends an email to all the users every time a new post comes out.
I'll give it a try
Thanks again for the help.

Hi Srini,

What I like most about your free ebook is that , it is a very honest and genuine resource for newbies, . i.e - No Hype , just the facts drawn from hard won experience.
But what struck a chord with me is when you mentioned about your initial spoken english problems, and how your first teleseminar went..This is something I want to know too..I would like to do as you advised in your book, and my spoken english by Indian standards is very good..but what worries me is that -' is it good enough for doing interviews..?'
would you advise an American accent course before starting out on this path?

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,

Glad to know my e-boook is of help. There is more work needs to be done on that, but I guess its a good start.

Most recetnly after years in the business I almost hired an accent reduction coach, but
decided otherwise. Over the years I have come to realize that people are more convinced
with your level of conviction & knowledge than your presentation.

As long as we speak from our heart, bring value to eveyrthing we do, we should be fine
I guess :)-

Thanks Srini. I needed to hear that.

Hey Srini

This is an interesting topic and I have some really good questions to ask you..

Can you give a proven blueprint or business model where I can monetize from the blog traffic without spending years of time building the rapport with the visitor?

Is there any alternative approach which will allow me to monetize my blog traffic on the same day when i setup my blog ?

Looking forward to hear back from you.

Thanks,

Hi Gaj, Most people become myopic when approaching blogging. Many don't want to start becuase its an uphill task, a certain % of that who starts give up in the middle ( not by stopping but by trying to monetize with small offers which always attracts wrong income) and then the 1% or odd folks work really hard, test, tweak and make big money. These 1% people are some what drive by passion.

The rules of marketing apply, a hot market, hungry crowd and a perfect product you can monetize a blog in no time. Don't need to wait for generations. The question is what is it? how to find it? and how to know if it works..

That's why they call us entrepreneurs I guess.

hi Srini,
I'd be interested in seeing a video, of how to create pages, ie. landing opt in page, even a sales page, on an existing Word Press blog. Also the step by step process of driving traffic to that link.

Thanks,
Trudy

Hi Trudy,

Great questions. As you probably know that is my USP..:)

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. In a nutshell.

- Just create a Post or a page in wordpress( both would do)

- Talk about the offer in a review mode in other words.. presell the visitor on the offer

- Call to action should be a link and alternativel you can place the Banner too.


I created a CD titled "How to make Money from any blog in 72hours or less" and made it available free
to the subscribers upon paying the shipping cost. The other thing is once you get the free CD you will get into the memebrship area where we have several
landing page examples etc. Its a $47 monthly membership

I'm not selling you the CD with my answer. There is so much to this that I can run an entire seminar.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
