How and when to charge for a newsletter? Road to 100k+/month...
I'm confused at a moment, and your help is more than welcomed!
I'm working on my sales page for a newsletter in a big niche.
Very big one.
In the beginning my idea was to create completely free newsletter where I will write every week about interesting topics and provide solutions for a lot of problems those people have/may have in the future.
My goal is to earn as much as possible from that list, so I was planing to start selling affiliate products right away.
I mean, as soon as they subscribe.
One product for their biggest problem.
Btw. one day I will create my products and promote only those instead of affiliate ones.
Older idea was to up-sell them 'premium' part of the newsletter with some extras comparing to free newsletter.
It's much more work for me, but I believe that I could charge that $4.99-9.99.
Of course, I would offer them that premium subscription only one month after they are already on my free list.
And now, here is the problem...
I need to start earning from those subscribers as soon as possible.
So, yesterday came different idea on my mind.
Could I charge a small amount for every new subscriber?
For an example, $1 or max $2, and sell them that as a commitment. I could say "I want that everyone starts following these steps I'm writing about, but because of people nature, most of you will do nothing. That's why I will make you do this commitment. You will act differently, thanks to your unconscious."?
Another, important thing - I want to start making deals with affiliates as soon as possible.
That's one of the reasons why pushing affiliate offers in my newsletter is not such a great option, at least 2 or 3 months in.
I have wrote a lot now, and it's maybe confusing.
I'm confused as well, like I said before.
So, does anyone have an experience in this field?
Even if you don't have, what's your opinion on what I should do?
I can reach 500,000 visitors to my sales page until the end of this year.
Traffic is not such a big problem for me.
My goal is to make lower six figures every month from this list.
What to do?
