I thought I would share with IT folks around on building an email list – it’s one of the most effective ways of generating revenues online. I thought it would be good to just share it with you given that Kenneth Yu, formerly from Ogilvy and was also at Mindvalley would be giving us some solid tips on this at Malaysiakini’s New Media School. Kenneth taught me the true meaning of the ‘Customer Lifetime Value’ and ‘Dominant Emotion’ when writing copy and the results have been phenomenal. If you’re interested in going just email me at tm (AT) impersuasion.com and you’ll get 20% off (or just call up Mkini and say you’re Tzu Ming’s friend)
