You know, I think when you're doing something you care about you'll care about the people who are in your niche, so it's a good fit all around. I see what you mean.

They've clearly expressed to you through comments, e-mails, etc., that they want x, y, and z. And you put out a product that takes care of x, y, and z. And they want it from you because they like you and trust you as a valuable source of information. I'm no list building expert, but from what I've seen, and what some of my friends have said (who are super list building experts)... The key is genuinely caring about your audience - and constantly providing them with information for FREE that they'd gladly pay for. Really over-deliver. Hope this helps man! Going into more detail in a post sounds like a good idea. Thanks again, David Hey Clint,

What sort of things do you suggest to create a responsive list? Maybe you could write a post about that? Clint Yeah…I see what you mean, that’s a good point.

I can envision it already. From the design perspective, we could also tie in the importance of formatting and some really simple design techniques to really increase response. Thanks for the awesome suggestion! Lou Hey Christian,

But I think if the list is already prepped, and super targeted, you could probably just send them to a small page with an "add to cart" button and a reminder of the 100% money back guarantee, maybe a testimonial or two to butter it up too. Definitely worth testing ;) Hey Clint,

Thanks man :)

You talk about a great point here - talking to people like they're your friends. I think that's a great thing to do, and also a great way to feel about your clients in general...I mean, where's the fun in working unless you're doing it with people who you genuinely like and resonate with? I think when you surround yourself with people like that, you really can't go wrong, with e-mail marketing, with sales page, or any other advertising form. When you're genuinely happy about the people who come into your life, that's the message you're going to put into to any kind of copy you write or advertising you put out. Lou Hey,
