Affiliate offers sent to "freebie list?"

Scott,

If they opted in to your list for a specific type of information you can share information of that variety. If the information comes with a helpful suggestion about a product that is relevant to that type of information than there is no problem.

Just make sure you are leading with helpful/educational information and you should be fine. Real problems happen when you hard sell people irrelevant information or make poor recommendations.

Hey Scott, a big part of this depends on the niche and how you built the freebie list...was it built through a blog? Solo ads? PPC?

Reason I am asking is because some sources of traffic are more inclined to buy than others. Solo ad lists usually aren't as responsive to affiliate offers as a list built through a blog. Does that make sense?

If these Products you are promoting to your Buyers List are relevant to Freebies I say why not !

It won't hurt. But many times with a freebie list you will want to be promoting a basic Product and for me I call it my flagship Product.

After they buy this, then I promote more specific related products to help them further.

Is far better if you have your own products for every situation (which requieres a lot of dedication but it's a relly good idea). If you don't, promote affiliate offers.

Low price products can help you build a buyers list, then you can upsell.

In my opinion - it's DEFINITELY best to promote a very low ticket product to your freebies list. When I say low-ticket I'm talking $1-$5.

They're on your freebie list for a reason. They either don't quite trust you yet - they haven't seen something they liked that you've offered - or worse case scenario they just don't care about you. ha ha

Build up a similar campaign that you have for your buyers list. Hit them with quality content, more quality content and then hit them with the low-ticket offer. On this offer - make sure that you OVER DELIVER. Amaze them with everything they'll receive for such a low price. This is how you'll establish your relationship and trust with your new buyer and assist in converting those freebies into buyers.

Also - on thing that I found that always helps - be transparent. Don' be afraid to get on video! :-)

Affiliate marketing helps and it's nice. But it's always better to keep things in house so that on your end you can switch that freebie seeker to a buyer - you can't do that though if you go the affiliate way. I would save affiliate offers for your buyer list. Just my opinion.


Hope that helps!

I cannot see why not. But the best would be to have your own products actually and build your own name.

I can't see why not either,some how they are all freebie list at first but you still can send them offers of affiliates programs or your own products it all comes down to how you write your emails or sale pages to get their interest some times.

The point of the follow-up series is to introduce yourself and tell the people why they should stay subscribed. It's all about injecting your personality and telling them what to expect, and why just looking for free solutions is not always the best option.

Now when you do broadcast on a regular basis about the things happening in your niche you should have the advantage over others who just cookie cutter and have no real relationship.

Now this will probably cost you a few unsubscribes, but the better relationship with those who stay will be far more profitable.

You can send affiliate offers, or your own products to your list. There isn't a set in stone rule to go about doing things.

Recommend products or services to your prospects within your niche that genuinely help them and you will do no harm.
