How to Get 10,000 subscribers on my list

Hi Col, first remember quality above quantity. There are people with lists above 10.000 and makeing no money and there are people with 500 people on their list making thousands of dollars.

I would recommend giveaways. Facebook Ads work too I guess if you know your target audience, but giveaways can due to the viral sharing opportunity, when done right be much more effective. Means, if you have a remarkable prize, that your target audience wants (specific enough), than you can get some great results. I have a partner that added during a givaway 10.000 subs one day and crashed the server of the plattform he used to run the contest. So I know it's possible and I am planning to do one on my own.

Hope that gives you some inspiration, Iris

Hey Col,

Iris makes a smashing point about quality over quantity.. and while it's definitely been in vogue over the last couple of years, being profitable with solo ads is not as easy as it sounds, with altogether too many of these lists being filled with "quantity" rather than "quality".

Checking out your website I'm a touch confused.. looks like you have rather large premises, so I assume company is making some good money, or at least enough to cover those sorts of overheads.

With all due respect to those involved in the creation process and I swear no offence is intended, but with a business of your size why are you playing around with solo ads and half baked landing pages?

How many subscribers do you currently have?
Also, why 10000? It just seems like an odd number.

SEO will work, as well as Facebook ads.

the thing is to learn a method and use it, it`s not very complicated but still, you have to put some times, that`s all.

blogging cost more in time but a lot less in money
seo is also costy in time if you do it yourself or money if you hire
fb ads will cost you a lot in money, no way around it.

Got it. In that case my advice is to grab one traffic method (solo ads are fine if you study up!) and work on it until you start getting wins.

If you're focusing on an older market, Bing traffic might be a cheaper way to get into things.

Ideally though pick one type of traffic and try to stick with it until you get good at it. Having stuffed around with a tonne of traffic method I ended up with AdWords, which is ironic seeing as that's the one I also started with!

Also read up as much as you can on great landing pages, they'll make or break your campaigns unless you're getting amazing referral traffic.

Apart from that, best of luck and I hope you crack it!

Well free trafic like bloging seo takes time efort etc and you must have patience and paid trafic its fast but it costs money like facebook ads .So choose from this 2

One of the best things you can do is to get out there on social media.

Give good advice, be helpful and this will drive people to your page, and you will get opt-ins.

With that said, I would pick the method you like best, be it, content marketing, videos, blogging, paid traffic, etc., and just work it.

If you spread yourself too thin, it will not be good.

Lastly, one method you can use, that is really just good content marketing is to set up a blog.

Write a post, then turn the post into a video and put it on Youtube, and then turn it into a document and put it on places like slideshare, then you can post a link to it on social media like facebook, twitter, etc.,

Basically you create one piece of great content-and put it all over the web.

This strategy will take a while to build, but, it will work if you keep at it, week after week.

make a youtube channel with some regular videos on food nutrition tutorials. Always link the opt-in page in your comment section and promote it in your videos. You'll get to 10,000 subs in no time.

The size of the list is not what matter but the responsiveness of your list. You can build of just 500 subscribers like my fellow warriors have rightfully said and generate thousands from it. So I suggest you concentrate in building trust with the list you have at present.

And if you still insist on building a massive list then go for solo ads. This will enable you build your list super fast if you have the budget for it.

Hope that helps

I would forget about 10K Subs and look for ONLY (1) Marketing method that you (OP) feel like you can do. Don't pick 2, 3 or more methods like most people will try.

Instead...Focus on ONLY (1) Marketing Method, learn it and Master it!

Ten thousand subscribers is too big of a 'gap' from where you are standing right now.

This kind of reminds me of New Years Resolutions...

Many people make resolutions that are too big of a change every year and never hit it.

Why not start with baby steps?

Focus on your first 10 leads and go from there.

Rory, since you mentioned New Year resolutions, I'd like to riff on that for a moment.

One of the biggest problems with NY resolutions is that they focus on the end result, not the actions required to create those results.

In other words, people say "I'm going to lose 40 pounds" instead of saying "I'm going to choose an apple over that apple danish" or "I'm going to park at the far end of the lot and walk to the front door." The latter are actions one can control. The end result is not.

The OP is falling into the same trap.

He's focused on a magical number (10K subs), rather than the steps required to build the list (learning about the target market, what language they use, where they hang out, etc.).

You build a list of active, engaged subscribers the same way you eat an elephant. One bite at a time. Get the first 100. Or the first 10. Do it again.

Which circles back to Rory's advice. Find one thing that works - for you - and keep doing it. You won't magically send a solo ad and wake up to 10K good subs the next day. But if you find one ad that works with one type of list, and you refine your messages, you could wake up one day and find that you have reached your goal.

Getting Subscribers requires both a mix of email marketing and good copy to maximize your potential off it .I would recommed looking into ace reddy ,builds huge responsive lists that actually convert

Focus on providing value. List size doesn't care about your bank balance just remember that.

If you want to build a list of 10,000, then you will need to fix your squeeze page first. Because any traffic you will be sending to that page will be wasting your money.

If you could build a better page that converts at say 30-60%, why settle for a page that will convert at 10%? If you think it through, you will see that you'd be wasting a ton of money in the long run trying to build a list of 10,000 from that page.

You may also want to consider split tests like A-B split testing, multi variant testing, et al.

Also, you may want to work a good strategy that will be offer value to this list whilst promoting your offers to them. Because if you do this wrongly, you will be pretty shocked to discover that your list of 10,000 you spent a ton of time and money to build has become an unresponsive bag of crap.

Go through these points and work on it.

Best of Luck!

Hey here it is are you ready? WORK FOR IT!!


Or do it the lazy way and pay for it?

The #1 secret of a successful marketer is to build a sales funnel…
With a converting sales funnel, you can turn more prospects into customers, and sell more products, which make you more money.

Thanks a lot for the much I learned from everyone regarding this issue. Based on general counsel, I have seen the need to focus on only one traffic generation source for now. Prior to that, I plan to overhaul my entire squeeze page, lead magnate and landing page. Thereafter, I am thinking of using one traffic source for the long term. That is, blogging, content marketing and SEO marketing all combined into one strategy.

For the short term, I am thinking of using Udimi as a source of Solo Ads.

For the short to medium term, I am thinking of generating my own traffic via one of the proven traffic sources. My dilemma right now is that I am not sure of the traffic generation source to focus on.



Someone told me about Facebook Ad, or Bing Ad, or AdWord, PPV as well as PPC. However, I am not sure of which of these to focus on. I will appreciate if someone who has experience with all of these can advise me on the source to focus on as I plan to generate traffic in the short to medium term. This question is anchored on the best strategy for PRICE EFFICIENCY, and OUTCOME EFFECTIVENESS. If there is a better strategy other than the one contained in this paragraph, I will be glad to learn about it.


Thanks a lot for everything.

Hey Col.. and tough question, because they're all proven traffic sources, that's why they now cost so much.

For your offer though, I'd consider using Google PLA in your region and start building up your branding that way. It'll be fairly inexpensive and will give you great training for when you want to roll out state-wide and eventually nationally.

The benefit of using Google PLA for your traffic is the market less sophisticated at the moment for most niches, although that's changing rapidly, especially in the bigger markets such as supplements. So the sooner the better.

Your niche (if you can call supplements a niche!) has a relatively high cost of aquisition, so in your shoes I'd be doing everything I could to come up with a valuable recurring package. You can sell this either as an upsell after the initial sale, or by email marketing after the initial sale has been fulfilled.

Getting into this will increase the Average Lifetime Value of your clients, and allow you to spend more on your PLA campaigns.

Building up your list via solo ads sounds like a great idea, but you've gotta get good providers. I played around with solo ads a couple of years ago, and came to the conclusion that, in the IM space at least, solo ads were not terribly useful as the only viable business model was to myself become a solo ad seller to make money, which wasn't the point.

Not to say solo ads are bad, but you really want to do your research to find a great provider with a good track record.

Also, remember that landing pages for solo ads are a lot different to landing pages from other mediums.. the simpler the better, and laser targeted to the message in the email copy seems to be the key.

So in short: I'd be recommending Google PLA for medium term traffic, starting locally and as your campaigns get more efficient scaling to go national.

i think... it could be happen if you pay for i. it is not free.

Hi Col,

Blogging could be time consuming but if you want a faster result, then go for facebook ads.

It's also not about the quantity, 10,000 is nothing but figures. Your main focus should be on the quality of the list. Are they buyers or just bunch of tyre kickers.

Create a squeeze page and let facebook do the rest for you.

Iris made a good point above
