I'm excited to bring to you another podcast interview with Matt Paulson!

If you recall, I had Matt on the podcast about a year ago and he delivered tons of value.  As a result, I thought it would be great to catch up with Matt and have an update on his business at MarketBeat.com.

Not only does he give an update on the astounding revenue and income numbers of his business, but he also shares some great advice for email marketing.

You can follow along with Matt on his blog at MattPaulson.com.  In addition, I HIGHLY recommend that you check out his new book that was just released, Email Marketing Demystified: Build a Massive Mailing List, Write Copy that Converts and Generate More Sales.

This book is FREE right now on Amazon.  Download Matt's Email Marketing Book Right Here!

The book covers everything you need to know about building, growing, and monetizing your email list.

I can tell you from my own experience that my most valuable asset that I have is my email list.  What Matt is talking about really works.   If you are serious about building a long term, online business you should really be building an email list.

  • 2.5 to 3 million pageviews per month on Matt's websites
  • 250,000 email subscribers
  • $2.5 to $2.6 million in revenue this year for Matt's business at MarketBeat.com
  • Organic email subscribers and co-registration advertising to get email subscribers
  • Non-traditional traffic sources: Traffic through news sites, Twitter, and more
  • Monetizing email list: co-registration, advertisements in emails, selling dedicated email blasts, and selling subscriptions
