Freebie List VS Buyer List - Your Thought?

Guys,

As we already knew , there are 2 common ways to build list.

A)- Give free gift in exchange for an email address .
B)- Obtain buyer list from people who buy our product.

Pros and Cons :

Option A) Far easier to build large list this way ... high percentage of people will sign up through opt-in form
Option B) Fewer people on the list because they have to buy product first, however they are more responsive .

A lot of people say that a "a freebie list" is much harder to monetize .. meaning a lot of them don't buy , however there must be some real buyers among them , isn't it?

I joined a lot of list in the past because of free gifts .. and I am actually a responsive buyer. I buy a lot of IM related products .

I am trying to build list using my free SEO web app but haven't yet incorporated aweber yet so I haven't tested the responsiveness of the list. I haven't even mailed them yet even once.

Traffic for my web app comes from organic traffic from Google, people type "free seo software" and "best free seo software" to find my site.

Questions :

Is there value from list build through free SEO software offering?

What is the predicted value of my freebie list? Say a buyer list worth of $ 1 / Mo . How much will my freebie list worth per subscriber/ per month? $ 0.10,0.20? I will focus on relationship and will only post helpful/useful tips before I mail them with offers.

I want to know your opinions first before I go serious in promoting my free SEO web app.

Thx!

    The key is to turn a freebie list into a buyers list.

    If you give them enough content and build trust in them, it's likely they start getting more responsive and even start buying what you recommend them to buy.

    Of course, that if you already have a list of buyers, it's easier, but it's much harder to get.

    Think about why you want to have a list?

    If it's just to sell products then a buyer list is what you want to focus on, but if you want to provide content and become a leader in the SEO field then a list of people interested in the subject who are commenting and sharing blog content is what you want, and for this you just need people, regardless of their ability to buy.

    Just be yourself and keep in touch with the list, and see what happens.
