List Building Success! Now What?

I have a free iPhone offer squeeze page that converts well. I now have over 1000 emails on my AR. What kind of offers do I send them over email? I don't understand what kinds they would relate to that would convert well.

What would you do with such a list?

    well hopefully they will fill out the offer and you make money
    Other than that other offers that might work are tech related products on Click Bank
    Or products related to video games

      Thank you.. I had been running email submit offers for a long time. I was wondering what the big affiliates who buy the leads from us (people who run email submit offers) use it for. They are definitely not going to run other peoples' email submit offers. It should have been CPS offers of some kind. I was wondering what kind. What could you possibly sell to someone who entered his email looking for a free iPhone?

        Nah, it's an interesting question.

        I think it's something like Tesco doing with bakery products in my country. Sometimes I just go to this supermarket to buy some bakery (they are very cheap and tasty!) and I end up purchasing butter, coke, meat, coffee, whatever else.

        Because I'm interested in bakery products, I might be interested in milk products as well (relevant). Same with free iPhone offers. The surfer might be interested in a free iPhone, but there might be other consumer electronics that he's willing to pay for.

        Tesco got me with their croissant, and an internet merchant got their customers with their free iphone email submit.

        That's my just theory, tho.

        Hard work and determination is the key.

        easy. register a throw away email and subscribe to some of the higher paying email submit offers that mention multiple gold, silver, etc offers in the small print and see what kind of offers you get sent.

    Since they opted in to your free iphone offer, you can email them tech related offers?

    Send them similar or complementary products.

    Many on your list will fall under the "freebie hunter" category -- so you can essentially send them more freebie offer. You can also promote complementary products such as "hard goods" from Amazon (e.g. phone chargers, phone cases, etc.).

    Now that you seem to have a knack on this -- I encourage you to start building a more high end list (insurance, dating, biz opp, litigation, etc). These folks will spend a bit more money as they are seeking solutions - not freebies.

    Try biz opp offers. they don't have money that's why they are searching for free iPhone. I have another great technique. Pm me if you are interested.

    I like to send them stuff they'd be interested in and just put "sponsored by" links softly in the header or footer. That way you can test out offers and see what is converting best. Test, test and test some more!

    I have no idea.

    Maybe you should have a monetization method before gathering emails for a free product giveaway! :rolleyes:

        Thank you.. I had been running email submit offers for a long time.

        You should just fill in a couple email submit offers and see for yourself. Most of the ones I see are backed out through mobile PIN submits. Meaning the user enters their phone number and signs up for a subscription offer on their mobile.

        That's not the only way though, some use web based offers.

        Figure out what they are promoting in the email submit path and mail that.

    You could basically send them Freebie offers of any kind. These people are interested in free stuff and if you you provide them, you could make a steady income off CPA conversions.

      One more angle to think about: When I think of who would enter an email address for a free device as expensive as an iPhone, I think of people other than those who know that nothing's truly free. More specifically, young people.

      So it may be worth a shot to send something that you would try to sell to a 18 to 23 year old. They don't have a lot of cash, so something very inexpensive, and something that will truly provide them a value or at least a leg up on a subject. I think an inexpensive money making op that you can sell for less than $10 (but value it higher so they see the intrinsic value in it). We all know that at that age, making more cash is the number two thing we thought about

      Most importantly, in case these are kids, and this works, be 100% sure what you're offering is legit and will provide them with value for their money. Because to dupe a kid would be wrong on many different levels.

      And if I'm wrong, it's no waste since everyone at any age is looking for a good, inexpensive road map to making more money. So your list will still convert anyway.

      Good luck!

    You've offered a very broad offer for your opt-in. You've probably got a wide range of people on your list, men women, young to middle aged is my best bet.

    Find an offer that appeals to a wide range of people, and not just as simple as a Free XYZ phone/computer/thingymabob. Biz op is huge. Weight loss could be another good example. Even dating or gaming. How about mobile apps? Toolbars, as well.
