For those's that have a list, how much do you earn per subscriber per month. I want to hear from all the different warrior's to get an idea of what I should be targeting too?

    The industry average is about $1 per subscriber. When I had a list (I have since liquidated it) I was making about $1.25 per subscriber. The reality. however, is that you'll have 5000 subscribers that purchase almost nothing and then you'll have 200 who buy everything you put out. In no way did I earn $1.25 from each subscriber. But I had one guy who literally bought every single one of my over 300 products.

    So if you have a good product line, build your list. Law of averages says that you'll make around $1 per subscriber each month. So if you want to bank 10 grand a month, you'll need to have about 10,000 subscribers.

    Your mileage may vary slightly.

    Steve is correct.

    $1 is a good guideline to work off of.

    Because I sell solo ads as a small portion of my IM portfolio, my average is less than $1 but I think you get the point.

    It almost starts to be come creepy those who just constantly buy every single thing you put out - but the reality is that is an indication of the level of value you provide to some people.

    I have a few people myself that get my dollars no matter what they put out because I am convinced it will be stellar material. And I may not ever put those products to use I just like and respect the marketer that much.

    When you start building fans like that, the ones that buy site unseen from you, then you know you are headed in the right direction with your marketing efforts.

    First thing you need to understand is that there are different type of lists. If you have a list of buyers you will make more than when you build a list using a free offer.

    That being said, you should really make $1+ for every subscriber you get on your list. But obviously as your list grows you won't make a consistent $1/month for every subscriber depending on many factors. Not everybody will open up all your emails for instance.

    So it's important you have a good funnel in place and you keep adding new subscribers to your list consitently.

    Instead of trying to gauge how much you can milk each subscriber for i would suggest you first create a good relationship, build trust with you subs by providing value...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
