What the heck are you coming into the OT with on topic stuff for all of the sudden? Too much Fosters got you turned around in the elevator?

Thanks

Actually, I have built lists of 50,000+ buyers in various niches in under 60 days, many even under 30 days. Others on this forum have done so as well; some much more. So the answer is yes it is possible. But very expensive. PPC advertising is the fastest way of building lists of buyers quickly, because they usually already have their credit cards out.

  Gareth, I can build you a list of 60 buyers in 50,000 days -- is that close enough?

It should only take about $5,000 - $8,000 for PPC ads, which is the fastest and easiest way to build large lists of that size very quickly. It takes less than 60 days; and often less than 30 days. You did not mention a budget; only if it can be done. The answer is yes it can be done very easily. If this method is beyond your budget, you can build a small list first, say a few hundred through article writing, SEO, and some classified ads in ezines. With the right product, you can make some seed money with just a few subscribers. Invest your profits in more advertising, and write articles to build your list larger. There are no big secrets to doing this.

Like Sal said, you are on the wrong floor. Finish drinking your beer, then go back to the elevator, and get off on the top floor. There are many threads that have already discussed list building in detail, including some very good WSOs.

You say buyers so you mean a list of people that have already bought from you? if so then your going to need to sell 50,000 products and then get them on your list which would probably take years and years and years.

@ myob you're wrong... Yes you could build a list of 50,000 people within 60 days with ppc but that doesn't make them buyers. A buyer list and a regular list are two totally different things.

The concept of PPC (pay per click) is obviously misunderstood. This is highly targeted advertising where buyers are searching for products or information. Some searches, such as "business opportunity" brings up over 21.3 million results using Google. A good Adwords ad can capture a million or more prospects, and sell well over 50,000 in just a few days.

This is my business, and is exactly what I do. I have become very good at it over the years. In fact I am so good at this, I sell hundreds of thousands of business opportunity leads every week because I just cannot get to them all. There are 600,000 buyers in just one of my lists. Not just subscribers, these are 600,000 buyers.

This is not meant to brag. Only to show it is possible.

That seems to have brought the conversation to an abrupt halt

So let me attempt to revive it...

While I sit in awe at the thought of building such massive lists in such a short time, I do disagree with your classifying your leads as "buyers".

They're not really. They are Suspects, not even Prospects until they have been qualified.

Unless they come direct from a "Sale". Only then are they 'buyers' in the true sense of the word.

They may have shown an interest in a product or service by clicking an a PPC Ad, but they still need qualifying.

I can understand if you 'see' them as buyers, they are your lists and if you are selling them on, as leads, then of course, you have to put them in the best light possible ie. buyers.

I have no problem with that, lead sellers have been doing that for years.

And, as someone who has used such lists in the past, I know the work involved in 'qualifying people out', leaving you with the genuine Prospect, that will give you a better chance of a sale.

Clicking on your PPC Ad and signing up is only one part of the qualifying process, but it still doesn't make them a "buyer"...not yet

Thanks

Well put Jim

I'd rather have a buyer list of 10 people that buy from me than a freebie list of a million that don't.

Let me clarify this a bit more. The OP question was is it possible to "build a list of 50,000 buyers in 60 days". My answer is still an unqualified yes because I do that often, and even in as little as just a few days.

I sell ebooks for $7 and up to as much as $295 to business opportunity seekers. That is a very large niche. Using Google Adwords PPC ads, I could get as many as 10 million "suspects" over a period of 10 days. They are already qualified because they are searching for business opportunities. With a conversion rate of 2% of say 10 million of these "suspects", I could get 200,000 "prospects". My conversion rate of qualified prospects to sales is 27% immediately, which equates to 50,000+ "sales" within 10 days. Over a period of 60 days, 78% of these highly qualified targeted "suspects" become "buyers".

This is nothing new. It is actually easy to do using Google Ad Words, for about $5,000 - $8,000 in PPC advertising. Results can be even greater in the less competitive niches.

P.S. I have 1.7 million subscribers on one of my lists. As I said in the previous post, 600,000 are actual buyers; most are regular buyers every few months. About 78% of the 1.7 million will become buyers within 60 days; and the remainder are dropped, as new subscribers are added. And, nearly 2 million new leads are sold each month to other marketers. That is what is possible with effective marketing campaigns.

Thanks

So for my fitness / bodybuilding niche - i could put together some guides and handbooks

EG : workout routines, training guides, fat loss etc and sell them cheap for $7

I can get several thousand bucks together for PPC if I have to. I need to move away from my freebie approach.

Thanks

Exactly; get away from your freebie approach. But test your conversion rate first using cheap ads before you launch a PPC campaign. Advertise in targeted ezine ads or by submitting articles to article directories. You might set up an autoresponder course for subscribers providing articles on body building tips with links to a webpage selling the $7.00 guides. Then within the guides sell your 80 and 200 page ebooks for a marketable price say for $29 to $67 or even more if they are highly specialized. This niche tends to spend a lot on products and services, and there no need to give away your products away for free. You have a goldmine here if you can learn how to tap it.

Dennis,

One good PPC ad campaign can bring in a whole lot more than just 50k. These are targeted prospects, which have demonstrated an interest in the offer. I like Google Ad Words; not necessarily because they are better than other PPC ads, but only because I know it very well and have had consistent results over the years.

Thanks
