The End Of The "I Don't Have A List" Excuse! Here's The Step-By-Step Plan!

Published: Fri, 06/17/22


I started my online business back in 1996 while still a
crew member on active duty with the United States Air 
Force.  

I was a C-130 navigator who often put in 18-hour
"crew duty days" and THEN sat down at my computer and
worked on my fledgling Internet Marketing business. It
was NOT unusual for me to fall asleep while typing on
my computer and to wake up with a screen full of zzzzzz's
… caused by my heavy hands resting on the keyboard :-)

Back then, I was at the 14-year point in my military
career, and I wasn't sure that I wanted to stay for another 6 
years when I would be eligible to retire with a pension.  That 
was also during a period when the military was doing a 
"Reduction In Forces" due to budget cuts.  So, all branches 
of the military were mandated to look at where they could 
"trim the fat" and that meant forcing a LOT of soldiers to 
leave. Some were offered an early retirement option.

I was in what was considered a critical career field, so
I was NOT eligible for the early retirement even if I had
wanted it.

So, one FRUSTRATING day, I simply DECIDED that I 
was not going to  wait until retirement to start building my 
own business... something that I had dreamed of since before 
I started college in the fall of 1977!

I looked around on the internet and stumbled across 
people who had already started online businesses. There
were very few really teaching HOW to build a successful
online business BECAUSE very few had actually done it!

I managed to stumble across a few "successes," 
subscribed to their newsletters, and PRINTED OUT many 
issues of their newsletter to read while out flying out 
over the Pacific Ocean.

The ONE THING that they all taught was that you needed
to build a list. They taught that you needed to:
- Identify a group of people with  a very specific common 
problem, concern or passion
- Find a proven solution for their problem, concern or
passion
- Let them know that you had that solution and get them
on a mailing list
- Follow up with them discussing their interests and your
solution until they grew to "know, like and trust you"
and then, provided they convinced themselves that your 
solution was ideal for them, they would eventually BUY 
it from you :-)  

That formula hasn't really changed 26 years later. The
only real difference is that now there are SO MANY people
offering these "solutions" that you need to offer "an ethical
bribe" to get people to join YOUR list.  That bribe can
be an ebook, audio, video, white paper, checklist,  access 
to a membership site, some webinar training, etc.

As I taught the EXACT same formula that my mentors
taught me right from the very start (and I'll single out
Jim Daniels as one of my first teachers), I noticed one big 
persistent PROBLEM. 

People would listen to your solution, and agree that it made
perfect sense,  BUT then always FIND an EXCUSE!  

In my military background, excuses were simply unacceptable. 
People could die because of you making excuses!
 
You found a way to do what at first often seemed impossible.  

So, I didn't make excuses for not simply USING the proven 
formula that others showed me.

However, I accepted that some people perceived that they had
real stumbling blocks.  The one most often stated was “not
having any extra money to invest.” YES, they had money for
beer, cigarettes, cable TV with 100 channels, and almost
anything else that they wanted... just no money to start
a business :-)

Today, please allow me to removed that excuse, if that
describes you!

Here's a very simple, step-by-step formula that you can
implement starting RIGHT NOW!

1) Get a free Aweber autoresponder account.  You'll need
that to host your list and send out broadcasts. The
free account is good for up to your first 500 subscribers.  

By the time that you reach 500 subscribers you should be earning 
more than enough money in commissions or from selling your 
own products to cover your business expenses, and have extra 
for your  regular LIVING expenses.

HINT:  Please don't go out and buy a new sports car at that
point!  Instead, reinvest some of your profits, and set some 
aside for the inevitable ups and downs that are a part of 
business life.

If you need to locate products to sell on a commission
basis, just ask me, or practically ANYONE on social media,
and you'll get plenty of recommendations.  Tune out most of
those recommendations, and please don't promote anything 
that you haven't really thoroughly checkout out.  Please.

Get a free Aweber account by visiting my referral link at:   
http://freeautorespondersrecommendedbywilliecrawford.com

Do that now.  It costs you absolutely NOTHING.  You won't
even be asked for your credit card information or have any
type of contractual obligation.   

2) Use an opt-in form hosted at Aweber IF you don't have a
website so that you have some place to send people to sign 
up for your list!

3) Get a “Backdoor” Membership to the Unselfish Market where 
you will find LITERALLY THOUSANDS of products that you can
sell keeping 100% of the money, or give away as lead magnets.

With your membership in The Unselfish Marketer,  you also 
get free web hosting (for up to 999 domains), and free coaching 
from million dollar earners that I also continue to learn from!

This is the only out-of-pocket expense that I'm encouraging
you to cover today.  A month-to-month, no-obligation 
membership in The Unselfish Marketer is a very affordable
$47 per month (less than many spend in just a couple days on
beer, cigarettes, fancy coffee, and lottery tickets)!

For back-door access, giving your 50% off on your first month's
membership in The Unselfish Marketer, simply visit my referral
link:   http://WillieCrawford.org/Unselfish/

Notice that I said, "my referral link."  That is because as a
member of The Unselfish Marketer, I AM and you will 
automatically become an affiliate.  Instructions on getting your
referral link, and suggestions on how to promote the 
membership are inside the membership area.   Affiliates earn 
50% commission on sales.

Making sales can be as easy as making an honest heart-felt 
recommendation for people to join The Unselfish Marketer...
just as I'm doing right here :-)

However, the only way that you can make an honest, heart-felt
recommendation is to JOIN The Unselfish Marketer, and take a
look around.  If you are like me, you're going to absolutely
LOVE your membership.  I've been a member for around 9 
years now... if I'm not mistaken.

If for some reason you are not absolutely thrilled with your
membership, just let us know. The Totally Risk Free Guarantee
on the site reads:

"If you are not completely satisfied with your membership, simply
notify me within the first 30 days - and I will cancel your
membership and refund your money, in full, with absolutely no
questions asked!"

I made the very simple DECISION 26 years ago that I was going 
to take action and improve my life. In deciding to start my own
business, I also decided to take responsibility for the type
of future that I would have.  

TODAY, I look at the fact that, due to the COVID-19 virus, tens of 
MILLIONS of people were suddenly out of work in the U.S. alone. 
Countless businesses were shut down, and many will never reopen
their doors.  My online business was affected very little by this. 
INSTEAD it gives me the HONOR of showing those who are ready, 
the path to a more secure future.  

I'm also helping many struggling businesses to get back on their 
feet... but that's the topic for another article.

It's NOT magic, and it won't happen overnight without some effort.

I'm “a 26-year overnight success” :-)    

Actually, I was fairly successful right from the very start because I 
was WILLING to  learn from those who were already doing what I 
wanted to do.  I was also frustrated or desperate enough to take 
immediate action!

recommendations today, I have two different Private Facebook

The first group is where I teach affiliate marketing.  The second 
group is where I teach how to make lots of mulah, and get the
greatest buying power from it!

Simply forward your receipt to me where you signed up for

Unselfishly your,
