Who uses a List with CPA?! [CHECK THIS OUT]

iRunThis · 07-31-2011, 09:19 AM

I'm beginning to build an sms list. It's definitely easier to setup but I'm afraid it's harder to actually get people to join it because the whole "text 'efoea' to '52525'" thing. It seems like the txt list would convert better because every single person on your list sees the offer while some people on email lists enter spam emails that they don't check often.

This question goes out to all the people that have tried out both, compare the pros and cons please, and which list has turned out to be the better money maker for you?

What I can think of now:

Email
---------
Pros:

Easier to get subscribers
When the people get your offer they are already on the web

Cons:

A lot of spam emails in your list

Phone
---------
Pros:

Your subscriber is guaranteed to read your offer
Harder to get people to subscribe but higher % of active subscribers

Cons:

A bit more expensive to maintain then an email list
Higher rate of people unsubscribing
You can't be sure that people are at a computer when you send the offer

I guess you can call this thread kind of a 'debate' as well as sharing your success. Please don't just name one, name one and give a reason why you named it. Also, don't based your answer off of my pro's and con's because I have just started with this and much more can be added to the pro's and con's.
