How Can I Monetize This List

5 replies
I've got a double opt-in list of over 10,000 people for a newsletter of tips and strategies for the popular FarmVille facebook game. Although I've made a few sales of some Clickbank strategy guides for the game, its definitely not a very responsive list, but it has been easy and fast to build. So any thoughts on how to monetize this list.

Thanks in advance...This forum is the best!

    Farmville and Mafia Wars seem to go together a lot, as well as Mob Wars, Pirates, and other Zynga games, not to mention other publishers.

    I would think that the Zynga angle would be a great one to capitalize on.

    And, with a 10k list, I'd think that it would be pretty easy to do a number of tests on different emails and games to maximize productivity.

    A lot of the FB market seems to be younger, so guides like weight loss or acne issues might work better than IM or diabetes guides.

    Of the top of my head I would try and monetize it inside of the gaming niche. Though I never played FV I believe it is basically a stripped down version of a MMORPG.

    You could test the waters with info on latest MMORPGs. You can do physical products like Aion (which is a great game I play, has not been out long) or the upcoming Starcraft info, tie it in with Blizzard and try and promote WOW (World of Warcraft) both physical and clickbank products. Aion also has some clickbank products with ok gravity.

    Though I am not sure of the demographic for FV players I would say you can try the latest electronics. Things like the iPad come to mind because it ties in playing FV and using Facebook.

    Just my thoughts, hope it gives you some ideas.

    Or go to Flippa.com and sell it now for immediate kkkkkash.

    I think you'd be surprised what you'd get for the landing page + the list.

    Thanks for the great ideas. I hadn't thought of promoting other games/guides, and will give that a try right away.
