I am considering ListOpt to build my list for my PIPS Newsletter. Can anyone share their experience?
Thanks a lot,
Spyke. |

Hi Spyke,
Out of all the ones I have tried so far I prefer ListOpt.
As an example, here are the results so far for 300 double opt-in leads from ListOpt that I ordered a couple of weeks ago:
It took less than 1 week for me to get all the leads. So far 28 people have removed themselves and around 10 are undeliverable. I have had around 10 or so emails from people showing their interest, telling me about themselves or just asking questions. So far I've had 2 signups for SFI, but it's early days at the moment - often people sign up for things after they have been receiving the newsletter for weeks or months.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Suzanne

Suzanne, Anthony
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I purchased 200 GR leads.
It took 2 months to complete and out of 200, only 152 available now.
No sign ups or emails.
I would like to try listopt.
Thanks again

I have tried several methods to get leads into my newsletter so far list opt has been the clearest winner. I am pretty tight in the way I want my leads to opt in.
SO far the leads are slow but I expect that. I But out of 50 opt in only 1 removed. 2% is great for my marketing.
Push button was about 3% but after a few weeks 50% had pulled out some of the others I would not even mention because numbers were so low.
Hope this help.

Suzanne,
I have purchased leads from ListOpt 2 days back.
But they haven't started to deliver the leads yet.
How many days need to start it?
It has to go directly to GR.

Hi Suzanne,
I've just purchased Listopt double opt-in leads 2 days ago too.
Just wanna check with you, did you disable the confirmation opt-in email for Import Subsriptions in GR so that the leads can be imported directly into GR mailing list?
or what format of leads are you receiving from ListOpt?
Do you still need to import them once again & get them to confirm again? If that's so, i'll be triple confirmation then.
Hope to hear from you soon.

I too have had good experiences with listopt and have also heard great reports about them.
I recently moved them to number one position in my leads pages because of this. |

I followed Mal's recommendation to use List Opt last weekend. The subscribers started to appear the next day, and I've had some every day. I'm very optimistic, as always 
I send those subscribers straight to my Get Response AR. Does anybody else do the same? If so, what sort of % tend to confirm their subscription, as GR send out a confirmation email automatically. |

Hi,
I like ListOpt, They are being delivered at a consistant rate.
The feature I like is "pay as you go". It is very handy depending on your budget.

ListOpt also seems to be a very responsive company. I had a problem yesterday, not of their making. Some clown with an Australian government email access was doing lots of subscriptions in the names of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck et al. Unless Disney has been underpaying these guys and they're moonlighting down under, they were bogus subscribers.
Within 12 hours ListOpt had credited my account and blocked the domain. That's a good sign. |

| Great company I have and will try anything to build my business but so far ListOpt has been the best. I have used imported leads third party leads Push Button, Traffic Swarm and what ever else I have read about including purchasing affiliates. So far I have been having people join at a rate of 15 per day and I have a very tight criteria and not one have opted out. Flat out awesome I am considering droping the rest of my spending budget and just crank it all into List Opt. |

| ListOpt delivers very fast too. I received 99 double opt-in leads within my first 5 days. I think GR needs about 30 days to deliver such amount. I really wasted my time with GR leads. |

| I also had a spammer, so I always give a quick browse of my sign ups (a definite plus over LeadsFactory who doesn't send names). When I pointed it out they quickly credited my account. They also switched me to double opt-in when I ordered single by mistake. I definitely recommend them. |

Same Here. 114 leads in 4-5 days. No sign ups though. We'll see how it goes from here.
I'm a little concerned about the saturation point of this program though. Thousands of us
with the same email newsletter might be a bit much... I'll hope not. I'm new to this but not
at all to webmarketing. Anyone has been having good success? |

Good point Marcio
I urge everyone to seek out other leads companies that will follow the same process as Listopt.
Im no expert on saturation points and don't even know whether this will ever be a problem with Listopt but there are goldmines out there that have never been touched by PIPS. All you need to do is find them, buy a small package and test your results.
Don't forget to tell your good friend Mal if you find any

I agree with Mal's comment. Look for other goldmine companies out there and test them too. Buy small amounts from them and test it. There are many companies out there that offer the same thing as listopt.com's services.
If you find any good ones then let me know. :-)
Listopt..You rock.. |

Hi there.
I too have purchased leads from ListOpt in the last 2 days and have received 10 subscriptions so far. Slowly but surely. With all the good comments above I am glad I signed up with them.
Good luck to you all.

maidmarion - do you see how old these posts are? if you find some more recent you will find that people are having terrible results. i used to swear by listopt just 2 months ago and got hundreds in days. there was a report in a thread of people saying the leads are 'paid to read' emails types and alot of people who don't speak english (not that this is a crime but they don't know what we are saying, hello?) although i built my list really fast with listopt, i never got any response other than people swearing at me in german, etc.
it used to be great and i hope it recovers because i felt it was the best for a long time. alot of time pips will overwhelm a leads company and they just can't keep up with how many of us there are - then somehow they either take forever or the quality goes way down (as if they have to go buy some on sale somewhere to keep up)
regards,
pat

Patrician |

no bayaba sorry - leaders club is the latest hope - but it is all about the difference in calling instead of just emailing (a combination) - Lord knows if i had called any of the other thousands who didn't respond to email, if things would have been different...
with leaders club, though, the 'premium' means not just opt-in but they have also filled out a survey to indicate their actual interest in a home business, vs. being on a list just because you possibly visited a page or signed up for information about 1 particular program - some people will sign up for anything that's free.
i have actually joined free a company called veretekk which has a system to generate leads of your own - from your website. i was going to join pro so i could use the full system, when i got detoured with erich's project and leaders club, etc. (can't afford everything at once!) i had already decided buying leads from anywhere hasn't really paid off.
leads are the most expensive thing we have to buy and you get the least joy per ratio! it's a tough game. i am determined to spend my advertising money more effectively - adwords, etc.
wish i could be more positive on this, but just being honest, judging from several companies i have tried...
regards,
pat |

I agree Pat.
I am having a problem with ListOpt now. There are subscribers coming every day (don't know about quality!), but I couldn't see the details in GetResponse!
I emailed GetResponse and they said because of the high level of undeliverables and spam that ListOpt have caused GetResponse has made a decision to block inbound email traffic from ListOpt.com network!
They said it would be better to join another lead generation service, GetSuscribers. however I have just paid for a whole month at ListOpt.
What then happens to the system. Do emails from ListOpt get sent to the subscribers without GetResponse? If they don't then there is no point in staying with ListOpt.
I am still a bit vague as to how it works from the subsciber company and GetResponse.
Anyway its good to get a bit of feedback.
I will probably have to try another subsciber company.

Me again. I think Stone could take ListOpt off the list in 30 day program if it is not working well with GetResonse and the leads are not good! Otherwise everyone is just going to follow like a sheep because that is what he has written!

I use Listopt for a news letter Does the IRS O U?. Leads are provide in very little chuncks of 3 to 7. The news letter is very explicit as is the ad. Yet I had 0 response and quite a few leads are non US. This is pure junk for me. And true, for the last week or so I noticed that the leads are not posted automatically to GR. They also had a major server malfunction that lasted one month recently. Finally I use a REF code that is not carried over.
As per SE, I also use Listmedia. For my PIPS this time. They do deliver the quantity. But again I have very low response rate or interaction with these subscribers eventhough I regularly try to implement dialog. Not happy either.
Still I will try to build the list to 5000 as suggested by SE, within 6 mths and then we shall see.
Alternative that I an now starting is as per day 6 of SE' 30dyas to success, is about Solo ads in eZines. Shall see. |

oh man, maidmarion that is worse news than i thought! no nothing goes out to your list from listopt only from getresponse.
man! no wonder glen from listopt didn't reply when i told him everyone here was complaining (another more recent thread) and i told him he should read the thread or reply - he always always replied before, but didn't this time (so i quit, which i planned on anyway)
getsubsribers IS getresponse - i don't know at least it is somehow affiliated - there is two ways to buy leads at getresponse - one is called getresponse and the getsubscribers - just assumed its both them! they are decent leads - but slow to fill the order - slow but steady - (unlike lead factory that is way, way slow -
i agree marion, that stone should address the current situation - if he is aware of it. like i said, i was happy until recently. man, glen must have done something silly like buy a bunch of 'bulk' leads which are junk and now he is in a world of hurt. too bad he is one heck of a nice guy. i think listmedia is his brother. something hopkins.
i'm sorry we can't seem to get a good lead company to STAY GOOD. they were all good at one time. another thing to kill email marketing along with the spammers and spam filters. really a shame.
there is leaders club - you might want to check them out - they are twice the price but i had only 1 bounce and no unsubscribes from 180 so far (also no response but i am used to that) - that is why leaders club has you call them as well as email. to be just a little more expensive than listopt would be getresponse/getsubscribers.

pat

Well, the problem is solved! ListOpt replied to me that I should change autoresponders, but I said I couldn't as it was part of my package. I asked them to cancel my account, which he did, emailed me yesterday.
I notice when I looked in PIP 30 day course, that ListOpt had been replaced with GetSubscribers.
Also GetResponse emailed me saying I should work with GetSubscribers as they work closely with them.
So, Stone must be aware of the problem.
Some things are everchanging and hard to control!

yes, that's too true, marion! it is such a shame about listopt as glen is a straight up guy. guess he used bad judgement and it is costing him dearly. i am so glad it worked out okay for you.
actually i thought getsubscribers IS getresponse - since you sign up for it right at getresponse. i know implix, the parent of getresponse handles each entity (webwizard, ebook-gold, etc)separately and maybe they are just affiliations, don't know.
they are half-way decent leads either from getresponse or getsubscribers, as leads go these days.
man, we have burned thru some companies - it is sad to see them rise and fall - but my main concern is US! since i am sure they can afford to lose more than we can...
regards,
pat
p.s. one point though is you can be sure getresponse wouldn't jeporadize (spelling?) their system selling any junk leads like listopt was selling. so there is some assurance there... |

| GetResponse does not allow you to import leads from other lead companies. You need to buy leads from them in order to have them imported into their system. With any leads you buy from other lead companies you will have to set them up in another autoresponder. Sandi |

I bought the getsubscribers 200 lead deal and get about 1 lead every 5 days. I a good copywriter, but they just don't have the traffic for the number of adspots they've sold. refuse to issue refunds 194 leads to go... about 2 years I should have them.
anybody know some major co-reg places related to personal coaching? |
