What is a conversion percentage of niche specific list?

It varies enormously, according to the original traffic sources, how you opt people in, what you send them in exchange for their email addresses, and the extent to which that fulfils the objectives explained in this post ...

...And especially on two hugely important things: your subscriber expectation-setting and your continuity-process: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6123982

I wouldn't have such a high expectation for a list in that kind of niche, myself, because I'd confidently expect that so many of the subscribers would also be (or have been) on so many other marketers' lists, and that some would already have seen the sales pages of the products I'm promoting, and to be realistic about it, although I can deal with that reality and make the most of it, that can't really make it any easier for me.

But in general, my objective in each niche in which I build a list is for 50% of the subscribers to buy one or more products through my affiliate-link at some point during the email series - not always in the first month, of course. That's not a target which I always actually manage to achieve, but it's my overall aim, anyway. I get my traffic by article marketing, and I don't use squeeze pages, so my lists can be smaller (but much better quality and more responsive) than those of many marketers.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't quite be able to achieve that target with a weight-loss list, though.

(Please excuse my also mentioning that if this is, by any chance, the same list about which you were asking in this thread, then I honestly wouldn't expect to make even one single sale out of 1,000 recipients: emailing that list wouldn't actually be "email marketing" at all, in the sense of words that matters and produces customers.)
