Gary Ambrose just launched List Bandit, a free tool for building optin lists. In addition, there’s a couple of one time offers (OTOs) that provide more options for using the list building resource.

Is it a gimmick? While it is too early to tell, my hunch is that Ambrose will deliver the goods. I’ve got clients that hate Gary and clients that love him. Regardless of what they feel personally about him, every single one has said that Gary knows what he’s doing when it comes to building email lists. And that’s what it boils down to. Ambrose isn’t doing this to make friends. He’s in it to make money…and the only way to preserve his reputation is to deliver people opting in with their e-mail addresses.

It is a dual matrix system that consists of a forward matrix and bandit matrix. There’s a membership forum and other resources that explains how to use the tool including the co-reg (co-registration) features.

If nothing else, consider using the free list building tool and see what results you get. I personally invested in a OTO so I could test more of what’s offered by List Bandit. Regardless of which version you do use, contact me via the law firm website and let me know your results.

The more feedback I have, the better decision I’ll be able to make as to whether to endorse the product to clients.

Thanks.

UPDATE 07/05/07 - Based upon personal experience and client feedback, I can’t endorse List Bandit. However, this is not a reflection on Gary Ambrose. Gary is one of the best at list-building.
