Back in January
I was having dinner with marketing OG Marlon Sanders, and he hadn't yet written his daily email -- so I said, Marlon, you relax and eat, and I will write your email for you.
So I told Marlon's email list:
I'm Tom Woods. I just paid Marlon Sanders $XX,XXX to participate in my Elite Mastermind. You are lucky to be on his list and learning from him.
And I went on from
there.
Well, Marlon is in effect going to write most of today's message to you.
The bold is Marlon:
Once you have even a small email list, you can make money in only 15 minutes a day. It's the simplest method in the world.
I write an email (sometimes with
AI). [Woods commentary: boo, but if that helps you get started, it's better than nothing.]
I hit send.
Typically, within 15 minutes I get sales.
But there's never been a report where you could learn how to build the list with REAL PROOF and actual case studies instead of empty theories.
One that covers the real nuts and bolts and not just fluff.
Until
today.
Feast your eyes on these case studies from 2025:

Is This the Most In-Depth Collection Of
List Building Case Studies EVER?
1. I scoured every nook and cranny of the Internet. And as far as I could find, this is the most in-depth collection of
list-building case studies ever.
And it's combined with the deepest list-building insights you'll find anywhere.
2. Every case study started at zero on the platform (or very close to it). Whenever the data was available, I revealed the beginning and ending list size.
2. Many case studies were built in 6 months or less. (We gathered as many of these as we could find.)
3. Every
case study includes real numbers, exact methods and specific "how to's."
4. Most case studies used FREE methods (meaning no ads or "paid" shout outs or other paid methods were used).
5. We created a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the methods of the top case studies.
6. Different methods were used by
each person. Which is great because if one method isn't your cup of tea, there's 9 more that might work for you better.
7. The majority of case studies are from 2024-2025, and involved no advertising.
