Tellman Knudson: The IP address attached to your from e-mail address is a factor.
Ron Matthews: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: The IP address of the server sending your e-mail is a factor. Okay?
Ron Matthews: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: And it; it’s a complicated mess. Honestly, deliverability is a complicated mess.
Ron Matthews: Yeah.
Tellman Knudson: However, what you want to do is you want to go and; and subscribe to deliverymonitor.com. Deliverymonitor.com which is an AWeber service. Okay? I want to say it’s $50.00 a month but don’t quote me on that. All right?
And what Delivery Monitor will do is it will give you a bunch of seed e-mail addresses that you can; you can dump into your Autoresponse Plus account. And if you’re going to use iContact and do something with; iContact is what IntelliContact used to be, right?
Ron Matthews: I don't know. Actually one of my mentors who is working for ______ Kelly told me about iContact.Tellman Knudson: Yeah. Recently?
Ron Matthews: Yeah. Like in the last –
Tellman Knudson: So –
Ron Matthews: Week.
Tellman Knudson: So iContact is super expensive but you know what?
Ron Matthews: Yeah. I know it is.
Tellman Knudson: It might be worth it to you. The issue is AWeber will get you kick butt delivery and it’s real cheap. iContact –
Ron Matthews: I love you. (Laughter)
Ron Matthews: I love you.
Tellman Knudson: Well yeah, you love me except for the fact that you can’t import people in.
Ron Matthews: Oh. You can’t?
Tellman Knudson: Now, you don’t love me quite as much anymore, do you?
Ron Matthews: No. I don’t. No. (Laughter)
Ron Matthews: Yeah.
Tellman Knudson: I’ve heard mixed results on Get Response.
Ron Matthews: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: Which – Ron Matthews: Get Response is what now?
Tellman Knudson: Get Response is another autoresponder.
Ron Matthews: Okay. Okay. Good.
Tellman Knudson: Yeah. So here’s what you do. You get Delivery Monitor, okay? And then –
Ron Matthews: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: You try out the different services that are out there. But believe me when I tell you that if your focus is deliverability –
Ron Matthews: Yeah.
Tellman Knudson: And by the way, in like; in my first list and even in Tellman’s List Building Club, I don’t recommend AWeber.
Ron Matthews: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: Why? AWeber doesn’t allow co-reg. And a lot of people –
[Crosstalk]
Tellman Knudson: And a lot of people who are just getting started with building their list are very focused on co-reg because it’s a way that they can pay for subscribers.
Ron Matthews: Right. That’s what I’m doing.
Tellman Knudson: But then you don’t want AWeber.
Ron Matthews: Right.
Tellman Knudson: If that’s; if that’s your primary list building strategy, you don’t want AWeber.
Ron Matthews: For right now it is. For right now it is. That’s changing but it; for right now –
Tellman Knudson: Okay. So Get Response allows co-reg and actually not only do they; do they allow co-reg, they have their own co-registration service as well.
Ron Matthews: Okay.Tellman Knudson: And –
Ron Matthews: Do they have a lot of import?
Tellman Knudson: It; you’re going to have to talk to them.
Ron Matthews: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: I; I; there are going to be little changed rules at different points in time.
Ron Matthews: Yeah.
Tellman Knudson: Okay. So here’s the main point. No. 1 is with IntelliContact, it’s expensive but it will give you good deliverability.
Ron Matthews: Yeah.
Tellman Knudson: With; with Autoresponse Plus you’re basically; you basically have to monitor the deliverability yourself.
Ron Matthews: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: And if you’re not very advanced or you don’t have a huge staff or whatever who knows all that kind of stuff then you’re going to have a hard time.
Ron Matthews: Right.Tellman Knudson: And, I mean it’s a whole nether area of study. It’s like –
Ron Matthews: Oh yeah.
Tellman Knudson: It’s like you being a ballet professor and then trying to study quantum physics or something, it; they’re that far apart.
Ron Matthews: Well you’re definitely right.
Tellman Knudson: Right?
Ron Matthews: You reverse that and you’ve got it right. (Laughter)
Tellman Knudson: Got you. Got you. (Laughter) So; so but the main point is you probably want to try IntelliContact. You probably want to try Get Response. And then you know there; there aren’t too many people writing e-books or courses on how to incre; improve or increase your deliverability because there aren’t enough people who are advanced enough for it to matter.
Ron Matthews: Okay.Tellman Knudson: Right? So it’s not a big market. So you can learn stuff but it’s going to take you some time.
Ron Matthews: I understand that. Sure.
Tellman Knudson: Right. So, that’s where I would start. That’s where I would begin. And –
Ron Matthews: Oh good. That’s good advice.
Tellman Knudson: But you can use Delivery Monitor to monitor your deliverability as you test these different things and you can get –
Ron Matthews: Okay. Good.
Tellman Knudson: Some real; real time numbers.
Ron Matthews: Excellent.
Tellman Knudson: Great.
Ron Matthews: Hey, thank you sir.
Tellman Knudson: Hey, you got it. Beautiful.
Ron Matthews: Talk; talk to you.
Tellman Knudson: All right, I’ll talk to you soon. Okay. I know you’re on the line. Can you say something? We can see if we can hear you.

Sharon O’Day: Tellman, it’s Sharon O’Day in Hallandale, Florida.Tellman Knudson: Hi Sharon.
Sharon O’Day: Hi. I’m on your black diamond line.
Tellman Knudson: I know.
Sharon O’Day: And I’m working my way through my first listen. I had a couple of quick questions.
Tellman Knudson: Go for it.
Sharon O’Day: One of them follows up on the co-reg issue. You have us going to Third Sphere on hosting.
Tellman Knudson: Yes.
Sharon O’Day: And they have you check something off saying you won’t use coreg.
Tellman Knudson: Ah. I’ve good news. Do you want the good news?
Sharon O’Day: Oh course.
Tellman Knudson: The good news is that Third; Third Sphere is worried about their autoresponder.
Sharon O’Day: I’m sure. And we’re not –
Tellman Knudson: And you’re not –
Sharon O’Day: Using their auto responder.
Tellman Knudson: And I’m not advising that you use their auto responder because it stinks.
Sharon O’Day: Right.
Tellman Knudson: So solution No. 1 is use One Shopping Cart, Get Response.
Sharon O’Day: I’m using that anyway.
Tellman Knudson: Right.
Sharon O’Day: Yeah.
Tellman Knudson: So problem solved.
Sharon O’Day: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: There it is. No. 2, if; if that doesn’t solve it enough for you then you can go with something like Host Gator which is a similar price point. Hostgator.com which you’ll actually see in the List Building Club. We’ve updated what we’re recommending people go with for hosting.
Tellman Knudson: Now if you just got Third Sphere up and running then I know that hearing oh, it’s time to switch hosting companies is probably a big pain in the butt.Sharon O’Day: (Laughter) No. Actually that’s my next question.
Tellman Knudson: Okay.
Sharon O’Day: I; I have a site up and it’s on; it’s hosted on Go Daddy.
Tellman Knudson: Yep.
Sharon O’Day: And I was about to move it to Third Sphere.
Tellman Knudson: Yep.
Sharon O’Day: The question I have, as I’m going through all of my first lists, there are all of these things that I’m adding on like; like autoresponders and so forth. Does it make the shift away from another; from one hosting company to the other more difficult the more complex your site is or does it not have any relation? The whole thing just moves from one DNS group to the other.
Tellman Knudson: Basically it has no relation. I mean there can be complicated issues. But if you’re just using basic HTML pages or –Sharon O’Day: Right.
Tellman Knudson: Or PHP pages then you shouldn’t have much of an issue. If you do
have an issue, it’s the kind of thing where; what it comes down to is how it has; how good the customer support is with; with the people that you’re using.
Sharon O’Day: So I’m probably better off making the conversion to the host before I load it with everything. _________.[Crosstalk]
Sharon O’Day: Yeah.
Tellman Knudson: Yeah. Tellman Knudson: Fortunately that can be done in like 48 hours or less usually.
Sharon O’Day: Yeah. I just haven’t wanted the site to be done for 48 hours. That’s been the problem.
Tellman Knudson: Well I; well it doesn’t have to take 48 hours.
Sharon O’Day: Yeah.
[Crosstalk]
Sharon O’Day: Right.
Tellman Knudson: For more than, you know, a day.
Sharon O’Day: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: But that that’s what I would probably do and you know. I would;
if you’re going to make the change soon, I would; I would probably design the pages and create the pages and then have them move it over as soon as you can. And then once it moves; once it moves over then upload to the new pages.
[Crosstalk]Tellman Knudson: Great.
Sharon O’Day: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: Perfect.
Sharon O’Day: Talk to you tomorrow.
Tellman Knudson: Cool. Thank you.
Sharon O’Day: Okay. Bye-bye.
Tellman Knudson: All right. Bye-bye. All right, that; that was awesome actually. Why don’t; that; that; that was Sharon. Sharon is a member of our elite Black Diamond Line coaching program. If you like the types of training that we’re doing here with live Q&A, we; I actually have a very, very private coaching program where you can become part of what we’re doing.
It’s currently not open to the public but I have 10 spots that are available to List Building Club Members today and today only. Today and today only. Let me just make sure my link works here. And, it; I hope it does. It does.
I’m not going to go into a lot of detail. (Laughter) What I’m going to say is this; the Black Diamond Line is an exclusive program. It’s $497.00 a month and we have live calls just like this every week. You can go to overcomeeverything.com/diamond; overcomeeverything.com/diamond. The first 10 people to go and become part of the Black Diamond Line can get in.

Wendy: I think that’s probably me.Tellman Knudson: It’s you.
Wendy: Yeah. This is Wendy and I don’t have to ask my question anymore. I just figured out how to log in.
Tellman Knudson: Oh. (Laughter) Well congratulations Wendy. Awesome. Glad to have you on the call. So, you don’t have a question?
Wendy: No. No. My question really is I’m a complete newbie so I’m assuming quick start is the best place to start. Is that right?
Tellman Knudson: Bingo. That’s exactly where you want to start.
Wendy: Okay. So I’m here and I’ll think about Black Diamond later.
Tellman Knudson: Beautiful. Sounds good to me. Wendy: Thank you.
Tellman Knudson: All right, talk to you soon. Okay. Next person, 506 area code; 506.
Wayne: Wayne here from St. John, New Brunswick.
Tellman Knudson: Hey Wayne.
Wayne: Hi.
Tellman Knudson: How’s it going?
Wayne: Not bad. I got lots of questions. How many can I ask?
Tellman Knudson: Well why don’t we start and normally I only do one but if; but; but; but why; why don’t we start and see how quickly we can get through them.
Wayne: Okay. First one is an easy one. I’m just following up on Wendy’s because I’m not on the site. But how do I find where my log in information is and get it?
Tellman Knudson: Okay. What you do is you go to the following URL and you should definitely write this down. It’s –
Wayne: I am.
Tellman Knudson: Club.myfirstlist.com. Club; no www okay?
Wayne: Oh.
Tellman Knudson: No www. It’s just club.myfirstlist.com.

Tellman Knudson: You should be able to go there and put in your log in information and if you don’t have it, there’s a place to enter your e-mail address so it can be sent to you automatically.
Wayne: Okay. Good. Next question. If you’re going to do some business, you’re going to need to be able to receive income; what do you use? ClickBank, PayPal; what’s your ideas on that?
Tellman Knudson: Well it; there are; there are a variety of ways you can go on this. Wayne: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: Are you selling your own products or are you selling affiliate products?
Wayne: Going to be affiliate, I hope.
Tellman Knudson: Okay. Are you; you; are you just getting started?
Wayne: Yes.
Tellman Knudson: Okay. So; so here’s; here’s what we could do. I could either
answer your questions which I’m happy to do, by the way or you could just start going through the quick start guide and then going through the videos step by step and I guarantee it will give you these answers. It will give them to you in order in a way that will actually make sense.
Wayne: Then let’s do that. That’s probably the best thing to do. We’ll go to quickstart.com or well, that’s in the myfirstlist.com, right?Tellman Knudson: Yeah. It –
Wayne: Okay.
Tellman Knudson: It’s in; it’s in Tellman’s List Building Club and as soon as you log in, just go straight to the quick start section.
