Good list.

Oftentimes, #2, #3 and #5 will be combined.

Also, even though I’ve built the list first, some would say it’s better to create the product first and test it to see if it’s viable… then build the list.

Anyway, just some random thoughts.

Ray, I like this list …. the key is no. 1 and the one I didn’t realize how valuable it was until I started iThemes.

And of course your input re: no. 2 for our business helped me release our free theme tutorials which has driven a TON of traffic to our site, and consequently sales too.
