What makes them tick?
By admin | October 9, 2009
The turtles have a habit of befuddling me. Now it may be because I am old and bald or they may just like messing with my mind . Either way they do leave me shaking my head at times.
This week as I usually do I bought them some feeder fish. Now sometimes the fish last an hour or less and sometimes they are around for days. I really do not know why but this week there are still 12 fish out of 16 three days after they entered the tank. A very rare occurrence.
What I do know though is that once they do decide it is time to eat fish the fish won’t last more than an hour or two. They will decide and the feeding frenzy will begin.
Well your promotions tend to be the same way. Sometimes you have a feeding frenzy then other times it seems like people could not care less.
The problem is that unlike the turtles and fish which are in the same tank so that the fish are readily available when the frenzy hits the turtles your potential customers are not.
When they hit their frenzy if you are not in front of them someone else will be. Guess who benefits? Yep sure won’t be you.
This is the reason that you need to be building a list and keeping in touch with them regularly. Yes, there will be time when they are like the turtles quite content to sit up and sun themselves but there will also be times when they go on a consuming frenzy.
Building a list and keeping in touch with them is the way to make sure that you are in the game when they do decide to enter the fray.
So everyone has heard this many times but in a survey I saw over 50% of people trying to make money on line did not have a list of even 500 subscribers. The amazing thing is that the number of people who had made absolutely zero from their online efforts was almost exactly the same number. Coincidence? I think not.
If you don’t have a list or you just can’t seem to get your list growing check out the List Profit System and oh yes that recommendation does get me paid after all the turtles need to eat 
but ti will allow you to get your list going and be in front of your potential customers when they hit their frenzy without locking them in a tank .

Those turtles know when they are hungry and I guess your customers know as well. They probably know when you are giving them something worthwhile that they really want. And one of the ways to figure that out is if you stay in touch with and in front of them. Just like the turtles they will eat when they want to. Thanks for reminding us about our customers and our lists.

Your right, a list targeted list is very important. Yes you can make a nice amount of money online without a list, but a list can help you make a lot more and make it a lot easier for you.

Maybe it is the kind of fish. My cat certainly seems to enjoy one sort more than another (and she expect me the get the right stuff!).

Doubt that as they all come from the same place each time and are the same type of fish.

Yes, have noticed the same thing from my list.
When I released one of my PLR packages, it seemed my list just couldn’t get enough. Two weeks later and another PLR package to the same list netted me one sale.
Go figure!
Probably had more to do with the dates I released it, but definitely understand that it does happen and usually when you least expect it.
