    First of all, YOU DONT HAVE TO USE THAT MONEY JUST YET! You really don't. That money is going to go down the toilet extremely fast if you don't use your money wisely.

    I'm not an expert list builder and I don't plan on lying saying I know all about building a massive list, but I will say that you can do it for free, or at least with free traffic.

    You can always build your squeeze page and rank it.

    Or better yet, if you have other experience in other areas of IM, maybe you could build a WSO and start building your list from that.

    Since you do have the money, try making a WSO if you want a list in the MMO niche.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg. Use the search function to find other types of list building threads. There's a ton of them.

    Before thinking of spending that money, make sure you have a great funnel setup. Without that you're bound to lose money.

    -> Squeeze page giving away a high quality free offer, which presells your main offer
    -> Follow up providing high quality content with additional promotions.

    I would say if you have $500 you can start testing with solo ads. Make sure to buy really small packages and do your research on vendors. Then keep the data of the results, clicks, conversion rate and sales and keep an excel sheet.

    Then reinvest the money you made and buy higher packages from the vendors that gave you the best results in terms of sales.

    If you start like that and test, then your budget is sufficient imo to get started with this strategy, and if you keep your data you'll be able to scale pretty fast and make more sales.

    Good luck!

      He is right.

      You need to have a funnel setup to really profit with paid traffic.

      But fortunately you can test with little sums before blowing all you money. even with as low as $20.

      So Get a funnel setup....then test the funnel before you go all out and blow your money.

      The good thing with paid traffic is you can test fast, and scale fast.

      Best of luck.


      And it also depends on your niche too.

      You'll find plenty of solo ad providers in Facebook groups. You just need to search for solo ads and join these groups. You can find packages as cheap as $20 for 50 clicks. Look at feedbacks before purchasing a package.

    Email marketing isn't fast method of making sales. Buying a list isn't good method in email marketing. Permission marketing requires that the prospective customer has either given explicit permission for the marketer to send their promotional message or implicit permission. Spend $500 on buying list is a waste of money.

    First create a system that converts your leads into profit ($$$$)
    Then you use the profit to buy leads to your system

    Use money to make money

      Yes if you are building a list in other niches then fb ads might be the best solution. You can really target only those people who will be interested in your offer.

      However if you spend $20 a day it would best to split that into 4 campaigns of $5 per day, then in a couple of days you can see which campaign converts best.

      It's all about split testing until you get profitable campaigns, and then you can scale easily.

    the best paid method so far is solo ads. but before buying solo ads make sure the seller is recommended by most warriors.

    Facebook Ads should be a good start. Make a high quality freebie and make sure your squeeze page looks professional and you should get a high optin rate.

    Some more tips:

    1. Always SELL the click. Curiousity is big with Facebook...especially with any type of paid traffic.

    2. Make sure your image pops out. I like having a weird, or interesting picture (related to my ad) and putting a red, green or black border around it. The more contrast I can get from Facebooks color scheme the better.

    3. Target wisely. DOnt load up an ad with 10 interests. Instead have one interest per ad so you can know which one is sending the most optins.

    I'm not a pro at Facebook ads but I've been studying a crap ton of courses lately and this should get you started on the right path.

    Good luck

    if you are out of MMO niche and want to promote other niche product the most targeting subscribers you can get by using Bing ads and Facebook PPC Advertise.com also work well to gain the list of subscribers, building trust and relationship is the key to make a sale without that nothing will work...

    It's been said several times: Get your funnel set up first! It doesn't have to be wonderful... Just get it set up! You can tweak it as you go along.

    You'll need something to sell... Don't worry if you don't have your own product yet as some good converting affiliate products can bring in some tidy commissions. Put these in your follow-ups.

    Sign up for some ppl (pay per lead) sites and also put these links in some of your follow-ups. This is easy money because you get paid for giving something away for free!

    When it's set up, send a couple of hundred tier 1clicks to your site and keep a close eye on what's going on.

    Good luck!
