interested in buying subscribers?

7 replies
Ok so I have been kicking an idea around for a little while, and am looking for some feedback.

No I don't intend on selling anyone an "email list"

I do however intend on selling subs instead of clicks as a service.

For example,

what if instead of buying solo ads, you just wanted to buy subscribers to your list, similar to getsubscribers.com

Say I have a high converting squeeze page, and have already done the leg work of finding good converting traffic, would anyone be interested in buying subscribers direct to their autoresponder?

So instead of paying 50 cents a click, you would be paying 50 cents a subscriber, for example.

The way it would work is this:

I buy solo ads, ppc traffic, etc and for a fee of maybe 50 cents a subscriber, you can capture the same subscribers as I do, so it's sort of like a Co-op.

I advertise my squeeze page, and every time I generate a subscriber, so would you, except obviously you are not paying per click but purely for an action (subscriber)

this is also known as co-registration and is a very popular way of adding newsletter subs for big companies, I have the ability to offer it at a small level to anyone who's interested.

it's simple, you provide your AR code, and I run the adds and the subs are added to your subscriber list.

This is just a thought,I'm looking for opinions from anyone who's got one.

Thanks!

    Hmmm, how would you know how many subscribers you sent to someones list though? Keeping track of it all would just seem like it would be a bit messy.

          Jack,

          Thanks for the input.

          I just wanted to make it clear that I am not trying to sell anything out of the thread, but just to collect feedback.

          Thanks!

        Probably not a service for me. I'd want highly targeted people who actually subscribed through my own squeeze page because they were directly interested in what I have.

          that's always best, but not everyone has the ability to do it!

          thanks for the input!

    I will be interested as we indirectly pay for subscribers through solo ads.

    But people will be more interested if they subscribers in their niche, not mixed up peoples.

    Second thing is that this type of services will force people to optin even if they dont like what we are offering because as of normal, its their decision to optin if they are interested and so we can say they're happy.

    But by this process our subscribers will tell us, "hey buddy, someone payed me to be on your list so i'am here but can you tell me why i'am here?"

      I just want to know your rate. I know you are not trying to sell anything but I feel I need to know details.

      You got your answer as well that it can be a business as people like me are interested.

      all good points, obviously this would be in the internet marketing/mmo niches.

      and obviously when subscribers opt in they know upfront they would be receiving a couple "news letters" as a "bonus"

      and of course they are free to unsub if they don't like the content, same as any other subscriber on any other list

      thanks for the inputs!
