I may have been less precise than I could have been since you misunderstood. I have built lists before, but found that spam filters – and complaints instead of unsubscribes – have been burdensome to counteract.

Therefore, my focus has now been on creating supreme content, and I find that it takes much less time.

But I am encouraged by your positive results with your lists, and wish you all the best in continuing to build them.

since you’re not using a list and compare that with RSS, you can’t really argument here; you have no evidence of your affirmation. I make my online income [85%] through list building, so that’s what works for me…

I disagree somewhat on the lisbuilding principle. I know how I react towards trashy material: I delete their stuff when unsubscribing doesn’t work. And I expect my readers to be as clever as myself.

The internet is so big that it’s cheaper to find new clients than try to create some artificial idea of loyalty from customers. Marketing Expert Doug Hall has talked about this in his books. It is erroneous to believe you can live off past buyers.

What you need is supreme content that gets people to subscribe to your blog through RSS. That goes past ANY spam filter.

Just think of one essential fact: I am not on any of your lists, but I do enjoy your articles, which is why I do subscribe through RSS.

So listbuilding is not necessarily the most effective way to earn money online – although I do realize people such as those in AWeber would like IM people to believe it was so…

yes, my standard is to write shorter articles/posts and do a series. that’s how I’m also able to crank out one product after other. starting from one idea, and expanding on it.

I agree that the articles must be of good quality. But a well researched long article can still be broken down into shorter posts.

I often break down my blog posts into several parts. It’s one way of keeping your reader interested in coming back for more.

It’s not about article length, but its quality; and a good researched article takes time, regardless its length.

Kim’s articles are usually very long. No wonder it takes her 4 days! Many people don’t have the time or inclination to read long articles.

Better in my view to break it down into several shorter posts.
