I am not sure what you mean by reverse engineering the blogs is it complicated? What does it mean in laymans terms how do I do it. I don't know if you visited my site: http://www.internetguruchallenge.com as you will see I'm a 54 year old bricklayer willing to be a guinea pig to any guru willing to give me a helping hand and show the other skeptics (like me) your never to old to start a new and learn from younger people. Any advice you have will greatly appreciated and as you are a list building master where better to ask first. Once again thanks for taking the time and not being too aloof to answer my questions. Best wishes to you and your family David Pepperrell http://www.internetguruchallenge.com 54 Year Old English Brickie Challenges Gurus Hi Melvin

Fairly new to this I have tried various list building ideas from "the Gurus" but none of it seems to work I've just become sceptical about the whole thing. I have read your articles and emails you seem to know the score about list building Your idea about targeting traffic to get sign ups from your blog seems a good one but where do I start? Yeah I need a blog, but I am not any good at writing articles so I hit a wall straight away and the main reason I've shyed away from blogging. How do I build list building into a blog? Any ideas? I'm sick of shelling out on 'The Latest Thing' all the time just to be suckered. In fact thats why I set up my website www.internetguruchallenge.com where you can view my humble efforts something is wrong but I just can't figure it out. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

I do agree it’s in the list but….

Fairly new to this I have tried various list building ideas from “the Gurus” but none of it seems to work I’ve just become sceptical about the whole thing.

Your idea about targeting traffic to get sign ups from your blog seems a good one but where do I start?

Yeah I need a blog, but I am not any good at writing articles so I hit a wall straight away and the main reason I’ve shyed away from blogging.

How do I build list building into a blog?

Any ideas? I’m sick of shelling out on ‘The Latest Thing’ all the time just to be suckered.

In fact thats why I set up my website http://www.internetguruchallenge.com where you can view my humble efforts something is wrong but I just can’t figure it out.

I would appreciate any help you can offer.

I took way too long to get down to this aspect. When I started to blog, I didn't realize that the gold would be hidden in the list, not the blog itself. Took me a while to discover this. Every single newbie should start with list building from day one. This is so true, Melvin. I took way too long to get down to this aspect.
