The cost of building a list of 1000 subscriber?

14 replies
I see marketers here selling 100 subscribers for up $250..

Is building a list that expensive and is there a cheaper faster way to build your list?

If I want to build a list of 1000 guaranteed subscribe in one month, can I just go some place and make that order and what will it cost me if I can?

    Hello,

    I think $250 for every 100 SUBS is too much and I believe cost per lead acquistion shouldnt exceed $1. Specially if you use free list building tools then this price should really be lower than that

      There are some quality solo ads that charge $50 for that 100 Subs.

      Not a whole lot but if you do some research you can find them

    It would cost you approximately $1,000 cash to add 1,000 subscribers to your list using solo ads.

    Assuming that:

    1) You have 40% Opt-In rate

    2) The cost per solo was $40

    3) There aren't many duplicates.



    Never forget that when you buy a solo ad, you're NOT buying "opt-ins", you're buying "clicks". Big difference.

    Wish you the best.

    You might be wondering how I came to those results... Here are my calculations:

    Cost Per Solo = $40
    Clicks Per Solo = 100
    Opt-In Rate = 40%
    Solos Purchased = 25

    Cost Of Goods Sold:
    $40 * 25 = $1,000

    Total Quantity Of Clicks:
    (100 * 25) = 2,500 Total Clicks

    Clicks Multiplied By 40% Opt-In Rate:
    (2,500 * 40%) = 1,000 Subscribers

    PS:

    If your opt-in rate was 70%, it would only cost you approximately $600.

    This is why the value of a high opt-in rate is truly underestimated. (Especially since, with a higher opt-in rate, you also have more chances to make immediate upsell revenue).

    Thanks guys for your insights..

    Next Question: What do you think about a service that guarantees you 1000 genuine subscribers for less than $100 or even $50 in 30 days or less?

    Now I am not just talking about making an order and get a bunch of rubbish subscribers.. I am talking about a process where you are welcome in to see the whole works from the bottom to the top... A real deal with some top Marketers using this service to build their list too..

    Do you think this is possible?

    What would you sell for a service like that?

      Do you think this is possible? It is possible but it would probably be crap subscribers

      What would you sell for a service like that? I wouldn't
      Are you asking for a reason or getting ready to sell us something, perhaps what is in your signature?

      Just asking

    I am not trying to sell here but to get information on what people are willing to pay to build there list..
    Also to see if the service I know of is a good one..

    My intention is to sell eventually but I don't wanna sell something that is of no good to the buyers..

    It's also good to do a little survey before you sell or buy anything...

    Hi Chasetasha,

    First of all, $250 for 100 subs. Its too much.

    Second of all, anybody who gives you 30-40 % is ripping you off cos i Know solo ads sellers with 50-60-70 % opt-in rate. The opt-in rates have nothing to do with copy and good looking landing pages. The uglier the better.

    third of all, get in touch, I am actually selling solos and looking for testimonials. I am doing super cheap at the moment.

    my solos won't let your offers on the shelf.

    Also, When I started building to 1,000, it took me 2 weeks and bought only 2,000 clicks.

    Bebetsizo..I don't know you, never talked with you..but what you are saying.. is big non sense..
    the opt-in rates HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH COPY AND DESIGN?
    THE UGLIER THE BETTER?
    I really hope newbies won't do like that because otherwise.. ..people would lose money
    Also 250$ for 100 subscribers isn't too much.. but it is worthless.. as you have to create a relationship with your list in order to get them engaged otherwise you can have a 10k list..you would still do nothing.
    "who is giving you 30-40%.." NOBODY is giving you percentage..they just sell clicks and that's it
    If you landing pages convert it can be 50-60% , if your page is ok, or 10-20% if your page sucks...
    And nobody .. i mean nobody an guarantee any type of conversion percent.
    I have 2 years since i am in this market.. and bought and sold more than 100-150.000 clicks , tested hundreds of pages and funnels and coached people in this biz.. so i know what i am talking about..
    Please stop giving people bad advice just so you can promote your program!

  • There couldnt be a price determined for getting more subscribers. Great information byall people above, However there are ways you can get more subscribers at no cost as well. Simply having an 'opt in / sign up' tab on your page; or have a 'sign up' button on your social media post helps. While various email marketing cos have different plans, something that particularly benefited for my fashion business to reach out to more prospects was the mysql database support by my email marketing vendor Ariticmail. Further their Email Addon subscription facility helped. Maybe its time to explore such different at the same ethical ways to reach out more prospects out there. :-)

    WOW, that sounds extremely expensive.
    The marketing tool I use, provide 2 squeeze
    page one with a lead generator and a free report.

    This is a great way to provide value and grow your list.
