OK, in an effort to help the Warriors on the forum, I am starting this thread about ways to make money when you have developed an email list - large or small - and/or a website with a fair amount of traffic - a few thousand hits a month or more.

For you experienced Warriors, please take a minute and post some of your best, or most creative ways to make money with your traffic or email lists. Maybe explain a little how you do it too.

With any luck, and with the help of other experienced Warriors, this thread can help people get some ideas to make more money, and to help any newbies start making money, or more money with their sites or email lists.


Here are just a couple of the ideas I use:

Website Monetization

If you have a good amount of traffic - more is better - you can create a part of the site that offeres premium content for a small price. The key is having enough traffic and offering great FREE content first. If you offer enough value for free, your visitors will be more willing to pay for your premium content. If you charge a subscription fee, you need to provide fresh and valuable content weekly/monthly to keep your subscribers engaged and active.

I would stress that the better your content is, the easier it is to monetize your site traffic. Give visitors what they want/need, and they will return the favor.



Email Marketing

You have heard that the money is in the list. That is absolutely true. When I work with my lists, I prefer not to over email them or over sell them. Building a relationship with your list by providing valuable advice, content, and free stuff will make your sales letter sell like crazy. Because of that, you don't need to send sales copy every other email. If you send sales email too often, I believe you will dilute the effectiveness of your sales letters because your list will get tired of being sold to.



What are your favorite or most creative ways to monetize your emails lists and website traffic?

    We focus on promoting systems that offer recurring/residual income so that we get paid repeatedly for our up-front work.

    Organic search traffic -> Email List (relationship) Building -> Membership program offers.

    And, a small tweak to the 'money is in the list' catch-phrase that we've realized... The money is truly in the relationship you have with your list.

    If you have a list of 100,000 subscribers who don't like you and don't trust you... There really isn't much money in that list.

    We focus on giving as much value as we can up front, trying to help them have a positive experience with us, our products and our services before ever asking for them to purchase anything.

      I love that! That really is a key for sure. Thanks for the clarification.

      Your quote of money is in the relationship is so true. I use organic traffic too to drive traffic and that works well. I also use Facebook and integrate that with my email list. It works well and they truly do go hand in hand. You already have the relationship with them on Facebook. And that makes it easier to convert them to your email list. Also, I can be as targeted to my niche as I need to be. So, the people I introduce my products too I know will have an interest in them. Being that targeted helps with my conversions as well as decreases my unsubscribes.
