PPC And List building? Super confused.

11 replies
Hey warriors. Ok so I've been building a list. I am on advertizing on adwords(search network) and I had issues with my squeeze page 5-6% optin rate().

But because of you guys at the warrior forum I'm at a 20-30% optin rate

But here's the issue. I'm paying around 31-38 cents per click. I spend $35.00 a day. So I get about 20-25 subscribers a day. So each subscriber is costing me about a $1.50.

My question is are these stats good. Can I profit if my ad spend is 1.50 per subscriber? Because I read on this forum that you should be making a dollar per month per subscriber and many say that is a tough conversion rate to get.

So If I'm spending $1.50 per subscriber and people say making $1.00 per subscriber per month is hard to do, how will I profit??

Will I NOT profit at all, or is it possible to convert 15% of the people that optin into buyers.

Can I make this work the way its set up or no? Thanx for the help guys and gals!

    Just be grateful you're able to have a squeeze page on Adwords and enjoy it while it lasts. A few years ago I was getting 500 opt-ins per day for only $50.

    Get ready for them to ban your Adwords Account in 3...2...1...

    Sorry, it happened to the best of us. They don't like lead captures pages and once they find out you have one you're gone.

      Thank you for the warning James. Fortunately I have an arrangement with google over this and I have had them personally review my site for a nominal fee to ensure that would not happen.

      You should invest in a course called Under Cover List building and how to create google friendly squeeze pages. Google actually encourages squeeze pages so long as you adhere to their terms & condtions.

      Besides that, do you think you can give me some information on what I originally posted. Is it hard to make 2 3 or 4 dollars per subscriber. Is paying 1.50 per subscriber impossible to make profitable??

    I hope you are advertising on the content network? I think that lowers the cost per click.

    I have never been banned by Adwords so don't worry too much.

    Also, your question is relative. If you are getting each subscriber for USD 1.50 but are able to make 2 dollars per subscriber each month, I think you are in the green

      thanx for the advice. I'm actually on the search network. Do you think i would be able to get good optin rates on the content network?

      And is making 2, 3 or even 4 dollars per subscriber in the dog training niche unheard of?

        I would love to know how you got google to review your LP's for a nominal fee. I have never heard of that, but it sounds good.

        I checked out the ULB course and its pretty good.

        Thanks,

        Allen

    I'm not sure if I want to spend money building a list at the moment, as I'm not sure I could make a profit. I'm writing a lot on my site, and have the auto-responder giving away free e-books in the sidebar.

    Not sure if the rules have changed but I've been broken up doing the same... As far as your list goes those stats sound just above breakeven to me But you strike me as a particularly clever marketer so you should be just fine

    You'd have to be willing to allow more than one month to break even.

    Or you could put new leads through a funnel from the very beginning in order to monetize quicker.

    Are you building the list in a market where you sell to customers more than once? If yes then $1.5 per prospect isn't an issue...
